David Brandon. CEO of Brandon Enterprises. Never have I ever laid eyes on a more gorgeous man. It was as if he was created by the gods themselves. His eyes were icy, sensuous and cold like diamonds while his body was firm, lean and built. He has slightly tanned skin and dark tousled hair. His jaw is square and strong, his cheekbones chiseled. His nose is perfectly symmetrical and his lips were the kind that end in a smirk at the corners. He had broad shoulders and a hard stature; he dressed very well too. In fact, he looks very delicious... But then again, I ruined his car. I called him a "jackass". Plus, I dumped soda on him. All in a span of an hour. Oh, did I mention that he was my boss? Funny, I never knew either.
