In all of my 23 years of life, nothing as dangerous, as stupid, as foolish.... Nothing as tempting as this had ever overcome me. Dipping the dirty dishes into the sink and scraping off the leftovers, i gripped the edge of the sink tightly, forcing my heart to slow down. Mr Anderson is my boss, he is married. He is a white man. And yet he had the power to stop my heart, as much as he can make it race. "Tara...," that deep smooth voice rang in my ears as he walked into the kitchen. "Yes, Mr Anderson?", i reluctantly turned around, making sure to keep my eyes on the ground, as i was supposed to. "How may i be of help, sir?", i asked, keeping my voice low. "I just need a glass of water, is all...I'll get it myself-", he said as he started approaching the cabinet. "Oh, no, no", i rushed to stop him as i knew that it would get me into trouble, if Mrs Anderson saw him serving himself. Clearing my throat and smoothing my hands out over my apron, "I can do that for you, sir", i told him. Stepping over to the cabinet, i took out a glass and set it on the counter, before moving to fetch the water pitcher. I let out a small breath of air, mixed with gut wrenching fear and shock when i felt two large hands settle on my hips, stopping me. "... Mr Anderson, sir..", I began to say quietly, but i quickly shut my mouth when i felt the hands encircle my waist and pull me against his body. Oh my good Lord.....

He remained quiet as he observed my face. I noticed he was staring at my lips which I was busily biting in apprehension and then he moved his hand towards my lips gently tugging my lips away from my teeth. "I can bite better," he whispered. The statement was so random but it made me smile a little because it was so out of nowhere. The smile quickly disappeared when he started to lean into me. He stopped when our lips were almost touching, our breaths mixing together, but he didn't kiss me. My breathing was so rapid and my heart was thrashing in my chest. The bigger part of me wanted him to kiss me, *What a birthday it would be to just know what a kiss felt like*, but I also didn't want him to because... The bathroom door suddenly opened and someone walked in, "Noah," the voice was sultry. I snapped out of my momentary stupidity when I saw the girl in a towel. I didn't even realize it but I pushed him away and took a step back. I barely glimpsed at the frown on his face before turning to leave. He grabbed my arm and turned me away from the door, "Who said you could leave?" his voice was hard. "I- I want-" The remaining words went back down my throat as I noticed how mad he looked. "Get dressed and leave," he said to the girl, his gaze still pinned on me. "But I-" she started. "Leave, now!" he yelled. She didn't waste any time gathering her belongings and scampering out of the bedroom, leaving me to face his wrath. ******* Highest Rankings #1 Syndicate #3 Forced #4 Bwwm
