We pull up in front of a large building, Aiden walks around to my side and helps me out of the passenger seat before handing his keys to the valet. As we make our way to the elevator Aiden wraps his arm tightly around me, protectively.

I'm curious why but when I look around the bottom floor is covered in men in business attire and they're all staring in our direction. They must know Aiden.

We step inside the elevator and I look over at him. "Why was everyone staring at you?" I ask curiously.

He laughs. "They weren't staring at me." Now it is my turn to laugh. "Right."

He grabs my face firmly in his large hands as we ascend the long ride to the top floor of the building. "See, that's what's going to get you in trouble. You don't know when men are flirting with you." He smirks before he plants a kiss on my neck. The soreness makes me jump and I realize I forgot to cover use make up on the mark.

"I forgot to cover my hickey!" I shriek, embarrassed.

He shrugs before he pulls the rest of my hair off of my neck, it cascades down my back as he admires his mark he left on me. "I would have wiped off any make-up you put on it." His voice is stern and authoritative and it makes me gulp.

Before I can say anything the elevator dings and the doors slide open bringing us into a modern style floor. A woman sits at the front desk, a huge white bright smile plastered on her face when she sees Aiden. "Mr. Scott." She says and as she looks over to me, I return her polite smile.

I look at Aiden and his demeanor has changed, his face speaks business as he looks around at all of the people busy working. We walk over to the counter and Aiden introduces me to the woman. Her name is Lexi. "Would you like some water?" She asks with a smile.

I shake my head in a polite manner, "I'm okay, thank you though," I say, not wanting to be a bother but I'm really thirsty.

Aiden places his hand on her desk. "She'll have a water with lemon," he says to her before he guides me towards the back of the room, pressing his warm hand into the small of my back.

As we walk towards what I assume is his office everyone addresses him formally. I noticed the way his voice sounds different when he talks to other people, it's deeper more serious. When he opens the doors glass walls adorn the outer area making a beautiful view of the city. A deep oak door and windows with blinds hide his office from the rest of the floor. It's very cozy.

I gesture around the room, "How is everything so established? I thought you just got this place." I ask.

He walks around his dark oak desk and sits on the large leather chair. I stand awkwardly in the middle of the room looking at all of the awards that are framed on the wall to the right of me.

He runs a hand in the air, gesturing to the furniture. "This was the same set up I had when I went to Stanford and worked in the city, we just moved locations and most of the employees came with me." He says with a smile.

He brings his hand up and beckons me to him. "Come." He says as he points to his lap. I blush as I nervously walk over and sit down. He twirls my hair as we sit in the chair. "We won't be here long, I just need to send some paperwork to clients and we will head out."

As he begins to turn on the computer Lexi walks in and her bright smile fades. I quickly go to stand up but he pulls me back down against him. "Why didn't you knock?" He scoffs. "I'm sorry sir." she sets the glass down in front of me before quickly walking out of the room.

I look over at him. "Isn't it unprofessional for me to be on your lap?" I ask, stunned.

"No, I'm the boss and I pay their wages. It was unprofessional for her to barge in here like that." His tone filled with disgust. I wonder why she looked so sad when she saw us but I leave it alone.
