"Please ask Kaylani to come to my office." Leonardo ordered Betty.

"Okie dokie Mr. Carta." Winked Betty as she proceeded towards the door with a mysterious grin on her freckled face. Betty walked outside to the waiting lobby where several people waited patiently. Betty looks all around but doesn't seem to notice Kaylani. Determined to find Kaylani, Betty marched across the hallway and began to peek into several office doors.

"Hi is Kayl- oh sorry wrong office." Betty awkwardly said as she walked into an architect's office as he lonesomely worked on the computer.

Betty closed the door gently before turning around towards the large fax room where thousands of documents come and leave every day. Kaylani was standing in front of a large printer machine.

"KayKay, Mr. Hunky dunk wants to see you in his office if you know what I mean ehh!" Betty winked.

"Uhh thank you for letting me know. I'll be there in just a second." Kaylani awkwardly replied.

Kaylani grabbed the stack of papers and folders she was working with and walked out into the long hallway and through the waiting lobby. She knocked on Leonardo's wooden door as she stared directly at his intimidating metal door sign.

"Come in!" Leonardo announced from within.

Kaylani opened the door and walked in hesitant at first but confident afterwards. She shuts the door and walks towards the large maple desk that Leonardo sits behind.

"You needed to see me sir?" Kaylani professionally says.

"Kaylani you don't need to pull out the professional card here. Call me Leo." He demands.

"Sorry. What do you need.... LEO?" Kaylani responds with an annoyed face.

"Listen, I'm sorry for how I treated you this morning. I just felt extremely guilty for what we almost did yesterday. I didn't know how to react." Leonardo explains.

"Oh no problem. Don't worry about it." Kaylani says as she tucked a strand of dark hair behind her ear.

"No it's not okay. I apologize. I hope you can forgive me." Leonardo quietly says.

"No harm taken Mr. Carta." Kaylani responds with a forced smile on her face. After a lengthy awkward silence, Kaylani turns around and begins to head out the door. But before she could reach the handle, she felt his hand hold her wrist. Her heart stopped. Leonardo pulls Kaylani back in and turns her around so that her face is directly pointing to his. His eyes began to penetrate through her as he inspected every flaw and perfection in Kaylani face. Kaylani soon felt both of Leonardo's arm wrap around her wait like a belt, tightening as he pulled her closer. Both of their breathing accelerated as their hearts madly pumped blood to all corners of their bodies. Kaylani, completely hypnotized by the intensity of the moment, she pulls her face closer to Leonardo's as he looked directly at her lips.

"I- I can't do this Kaylani, I'm sorry." Leonardo says as he immediately pulled away from Kaylani's embrace.

"Why are you doing this to me?!!!" Kaylani barks.

"It's not you I promise. I just can't bring myself to do this to her." Leonardo explains.

"Who!! Who are you fucking talking about?!" Kaylani yells as tears started to flood her cornea.

"Hey look at me...why are you crying? Look at me." Leonardo whispers as he walks back to Kaylani pulling her into his chest, "As much as I want to I don't want to lead you on to something that can't be."

"Why because your a billionaire and I'm just a broke ass girl!! Or is it because you have a girlfriend or better yet a wife?!!!" Kaylani exclaimed.

Leonardo aggressively pushes Kaylani against the wall pinning both of her hands above her head as his chest clashed with her. Leonardo looked straight into her eyes and said:

"You make me feel like another man when I'm around you. I just can't help myself!"

Leonardo kisses Kaylani on the lips as his hands passionately explore her body. Kaylani's fingers ran through Leonardo's dark hair as they devoured each other alive. Never have either of them felt so alive.

"I want all of you Kay. I need you." Leonardo demanded in a low raspy tone as he grazed his lips against her ear.

"I'm all yours." Kaylani whispered as she fought to catch her breath.

Kaylani wraps her legs around Leonardo's waist as he picked her up and carried her to his desk. Like famished animals, Leonardo rips Kaylani's clothes off as his lips traveled her body. Within seconds, their bodies, completely nude, clash against each other. The passion and heat of their intimacy filled the large office. Leonardo and Kaylani made love for the first time.

"This can't be happening!!!! What am I going to do?!" Monserrat cried as she ran her fingers through her scalp.

"Jace better fucking have a solution to this mess!" Monserrat anxiously whispered to herself as she laid on the cold marbled floor.

*Leonardo POV*

I felt ecstatic. My heart was screaming melodies that felt in sync with my soul. My being felt protected, cared for, as I laid on the floor with Kaylani resting on my bare chest. I could smell the fresh lavender fragrance that emanated from her imperfectly perfect body. I was lost in the passion of our kisses and the way our bodies inter winded together exactly like the way our fingers did when she held onto me. I look at Kaylani as her dark wavy hair spilled over my hands and floor. I knew what I had done but for a strange reason, my heart felt at home. I knew I shouldn't be leading Kaylani into something impossible but my body can't seem to get enough of her touch. She was addictive.

Kaylani and I get back up and get dressed before anyone would start to get ideas. I could not afford ruining this company's reputation. And I did not also want Betty barging right in as she is so famously known for now.

"Listen Kaylani I-

"I won't say a word Leo. Don't worry." Kaylani interrupted.

"Hey...I hope we can be like friends or something. I really like you. Honestly. Don't think I want you for sex." I said.

"I like you too." Kaylani said as she bit her lower lip.

"Maybe we could have dinner tonight?" I shyly ask.

"Of course. I get off at 7." Kaylani smiles.

"How about you take the day off. Go get yourself washed up and dressed. I'll pick you up at 7 okay?" I offered.

"I'll see you then...boss." Kaylani winked at me as she started walking towards the door. I could not help but smile. She has an effect on me, probably wrong in the eyes of others, but I liked it.
