"I can see it in your eyes, Janet," he whispered, taking a step closer to me, trapping me between him and the desk behind me. "You want me, just as much as I do."
I moved my eyes away from his lips and looked him in the eyes, "You're my boss, sir. It's not right." I said, clenching my fists at my sides, trying to resist the pull between us, but his presence was magnetic, too close.
"It's not right?" He slid his hand down my curves and stopped on my waist, the heat of his touch igniting a trail of fire beneath my skin, and my heart began to race faster than I could control. "Or is it that you're afraid of what happens when you stop pretending you don't want this?"
"You don't know what you're doing... it's too-"
"Thrilling? I guess so."
