" All work and no play makes Jeremiah a very very very dull boy ," Jeremiah Duncan heard from the opened doorway of his law firm office. He sat behind his desk with several case files including Faith's , a couple of thick law books and his MacBook. It was getting late in the afternoon moving towards the dinner hour but at the firm nobody moved to the exit until at least nine pm. Especially people like him who had made junior partner and dreamed of one day making senior partner by the time he was forty which was just a few years away. His mentor was after all Richard Norland who had once sacrificed everything in his life to fight and work his way to the top. Of course he had stopped overworking for the most part after his last marriage to Nigel but since he was already on top with his name one of the main three on the letterhead he could afford to slow down. A little anyway.

He looked up and to his delight saw Bliss Jones striding into the office wearing a long black trench coat after closing his office door and locking it firmly. " Bliss ! This is a surprise. I can't leave though. Not before maybe five. Or six. Doing some work on a few pressing cases. Like this Lane mess. Handel set Wednesday as the official jumpstart day. We do opening then. God. It was a joke today. He had to toss out that brother of yours. And the goddamn racists showed up......."

His words cut off abruptly as he then saw the silent beautiful slender woman slowly opening her coat and sliding it off her  gorgeous brown skinned body that he now saw was naked. His brown eyes grew larger as they gazed at her. His hands dropped a ballpoint pen to his cluttered desktop. His heart beat faster than it had been before she had appeared. His throat seemed to lock up as he fought to speak.

She was exquisite. He had never seen such a gorgeous and glorious woman until her. Even Amanda who had once upon a time been crowded Miss Teen Maryland in her youth.

Bliss smiled sexily at him. " Who said anything about leaving , Miah ? "

She almost seemed to glide across the thickly carpeted floor until she stood alluringly over him. She lowered her head over his and roughly claimed his open mouth in a demanding kiss.
