Time waits for no one. It was a true enough statement. Because surely somewhere time had left her behind and now she was confused. Everything confused her. Her boss confused her. Her actions confused her. Her own body confused her. She felt as if someone had left her to free fall with no intention of catching her. She roused from her musings. In her office she just stood at thr door. A week of being away and she felt like she was walking into the twilight zone. Everyone was acting the same except for her boss. And now his family. Which apparently they want to have dinner...with him......and her....tonight. She felt confused. But she couldnt just stand here. She had work to do. And a week of fratenizing was not going to make her less than the woman that she was. She nodded at her thoughts as if to affirm them. Yes she was a strong woman and she could bounce back. With that in mind she made her way to her desk and booted it on. Things were going to get back to normal.

Ace smirked as he watched her. If he thought watching her sleep was a beautiful sight then watching her get into her zone was transcending. "You didn't let me know you were here." He said after kicking off of the door. Kenya snapped her eyes to him feeling her cheeks flush and he'd heart race. This was beginning to be a bigger problem then it should be. "I'm always here on time. " I replied.

"Kenya." He warned.

"We just saw each other two hours ago. Do I need to inform you of what you already know?" She asked.

Ace said nothing. Simply approaching her and tilting her chin up. He looked into her eyes and could see the confusion there. He chuckled and traced the corners of her mouth in such a sensual way that Kenya felt her thighs squeeze together. If she didn't she feared that she would need new underwear. Her lips trembled under his touch and he found it hard to resist the urge to devour those sweet pieces of flesh. She felt her body naturally melt against him in a way that made her putty in his arms. Another new feeling reared it's head as if walking through the Grass of a Pokémon game. Melting has appeared. Do you want to. Fight or flee? However sadly the fleeing wasn't an option. His arms were wrapped around her, a feat that many of her exes could not accomplish, affectively stopping her from any attempts. It was making her all the more agreeable. Another feeling that was new. It seemed that she simply had to catch then all.

It took a miracle for her reason to shine through and she pushed away quickly and with much force. Caught off guard Ace stumbled. Kenya dipped at the corner of her mouth quickly feeling the moisture there and Ace smirked.

"We are at the office. And the door is open. If someone comes in and sees-"

"Let them." He interrupted her. He watched with mild amusement as Kenya jaw dropped to the floor and she looked completely flabbergasted at the thought of such a thing. Or at his statement.

"Clearly you are not int your fr-" She pauses and quickly walks around him to close the door. Eavesdropping was a skill that many acquired in the office and there was not telling who had seen what they were doing and how much. "Are you crazy? Nevermind the fact that my reputation would be in shambles if someone even got a whiff that this was a thing. Let's forget that point. This is work. A clear line should be drawn. And youshouldnt be the one enforcing it." She scowls.

While she lectured Ace glances around her office lazily and leaned against her desk. He ran his fingers over the dolphin shaped paperweight on her desk slowly as she spoke. Once she was done he looked up.

"No."

"What do you mean no?"

"I mean no. I will not hide the fact that I am pursuing you. Jts taken this long for me to realise that you are waht I want and I never hide when I want something." He spoke.

"See that right there is your problem. I am not a something Ace. I am a person with feelings and standards and rights. I am not here to be a pass time or something that you want to play with. And that is a toxic frame of mind." She growled.
