2024-10-29 19:42:56"Mr. Lewis it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Miss Gilliam. Please come into my office." I reply.
"Miss Gilliam the pleasure is all mine." Adam Lewis replies. "Ms. Smith, please no calls or visitors, as I'm with a potential client." I tell the receptionist. "Yes Miss Gilliam." Angel replies. I go in and close the door. I walk around and sit in my chair. He's already sitting. I turn my cell phone off. "So how can I help you?" I ask. "Well, I heard your company was under new management and came to check it out. I've been hearing good things and was curious." Adam explains. "I am very pleased to hear that. I know you were a client and then left us. Can I ask why?" I ask. "I really don't know. That was all my managers doing. At that time, I wasn't involved. And let's just say I now take more interest in my money." He replies. "Well, that's a very wise decision. I can tell you I'm here to make this office the best around. The best customer service, the best financial advice, and the best returns to save you as much as possible. If you'd like to discuss hiring us back, I'd be delighted to go over details." I explain. "I'd like that. How about dinner? I'd like to get to know you better." He replies. "Mr. Lewis." I began. "Call me Adam." He interrupts. "Mr. Lewis I'm very flattered but I don't mix business with pleasure. I don't date clients, past or present. But thanks for the offer. Now if you'd like to schedule a meeting and bring in your financial manager Ms. Smith will be happy to set it up." I continue. I stand up and hold my hand out for him to shake. He takes my hand in his but just holds it. My hand tingles at his touch. Ok don't fan girl. Omg! "I'll be seeing you soon, Isabel." He replies. "Good day Mr. Lewis." I reply. After he leaves, I flop down in my seat fanning myself. I think I'm having a hot flash! It should be illegal to be that sexy and hot. ADAM'S POINT OF VIEW Damn she turned me down. I want her even more now! And she's even sexier and hotter up close. She smells like vanilla. Hmm my new favorite fragrance. Any other woman would have thrown herself at me. But not her, no she's different, special. And I have to make her mine! END OF ADAM'S POINT OF VIEW I finished out the week. We're starting to get the past straightened out. I pulled Adam's return to check it myself. There were some missed deductions that would have saved him $1500. While it's probably pennies to him, it's a good excuse to get his business back and see him again. I call his phone. "Mr. Lewis, this is Miss Gilliam from H.J services. I'd really like to meet with you. I found some discrepancies in your last return that our employee didn't do. To show you we'd love to have your business I'd like to file an amendment and it would get you $1500 back. We of course would do this free of charge and give you 25% off your first year of services." "Well Isabel I like the sound of that. Would you be willing to have dinner with me to discuss it? I'm afraid I'm pretty booked up otherwise." He explains. "A business dinner?" I ask. "Sure." He replies. "Ok. Just give me the details and I will meet you there." I explain. "Give me your cell number and I'll text them to you." He replies. "Ok." I reply with my number. "See you at seven." He replies. "Yes sir. Good day." I reply. "Until tonight, Isabel." He replies. Another hot flash. I need to get a desk fan! I arrive at the restaurant at 6:55pm. I wore a one-piece business suit dress. It had double buttons down the front and fell mid-thigh. The waitress shows me to his table. He stands when I approach. He's in a long sleeve polo type shirt and jeans. "Thank you for meeting with me Mr. Lewis." I reply. "Ok first of all you have to call me Adam. That's my first demand. My second demand is we wait until after we've eaten. I like a full stomach to make decisions." He explains. "Umm, ok Mr. Adam." I agree. "Better." He replies. "I love how she says my name." He thinks. "So, tell me about you?" He asks. "Well, I'm from Virginia. I've been in accounting for seven years. My boss sent me here to clean up this location." I explain. "How long you here for?" He asks. "About six months. I think I can have it turned around and running top notch by then. The owner said however long it takes." I explain. "And then what?" He asks. "Probably back to Virginia." I answer. "You have family there? Boyfriend?" He asks. "Yes family, no boyfriend." I reply. "I find that extremely hard to believe." He raises a brow. "Ah recent break up." I reply. "Oh? What happened?" He asks. "Let's just say the secretary and boss is such a cliche! And leave it at that." I reply. "Wow! If I had a woman like you there's no way in hell, I'd bang another chick!" He scoffs. "Um this is not really professional of me to talk about. I've said more than I should have." I explain. The food arrives and we eat. After we eat, he does finally let me talk some business. "I'll talk to my manager and get him to set up a meeting with you. How does that sound?" He asks. "Perfect. Thank you for a lovely evening. The food was amazing." I reply. "I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'd like to see you again?" He asks. "I'm sorry but I told you I don't date the clients." I reply. "I need a few more business dinners to help me make up my mind." He grins. I smile and walk to valet and give them my ticket. Adam walks with me. "Have your manager set up a meeting. Good night, Adam." I reply. I get in my car and drive off. Crap! What am I going to do? I decide to call Mr. Jackson to get his opinion on the situation.Related chapters

"Mr. Jackson I'm sorry to bother you but I have a situation I need your advice." I explain. "Shoot." He replies. "Well, it seems Mr. Adam Lewis wants me to go out with him to convince him to hire us back. I know the policy about dating clients. But he's being very persistent." I explain. "Yes, dear that's normally the case. But my Cali clients are a different story. They expect to be wined and dined. Just do whatever you're comfortable with. You're single right?" He asks. "Yes sir." I reply. "I don't have to tell you what a huge client he would be? But I don't want to force you into anything. I trust you to handle it with what you are comfortable with. Good night." He replies. "Goodnight, sir." I reply. Man, I'm in so much trouble. The attraction is more than I've ever felt. Maybe because he's famous? I do want him badly. My cell rings. "Hello baby. Have a nice dinner?" Jesse asks. "How do you, wait I had you blocked!" I demand. "How are you calling me?" "Remember our last l

"Good because you've drove me crazy since I first laid eyes on you." He replies. "Really?" I ask. "Yeah, coffee shop? Black limo?" He asks. I laugh. "That was you?" "Guilty!" He grins. "I'm 5 years older than you." I reply. "Damn that's even hotter!" He smirks. "Get serious!" I demand. "Oh, I'm dead serious. I don’t like immature girls. I want a sophisticated woman!" He explains. "Sweet talker." I reply. "All true! Is it working?" He asks. "Maybe." I reply and his arousal jerks. "Easy boy." "Can't help it, he wants what he wants! And he wants you." He replies. "I hope I don't regret this." I pause. "Your place or mine?" "Mine, security reasons you know." He explains. "Ok." I agree. "Give me your valet ticket." He replies. "Ok." I reply. He tells his security detail he's driving my car and for them to follow us to his house. We go to the valet and wait for my car. "Sweet ride." Adam whistles. "Company perk." I explain. "Wow your boss must love you." He replies. "
Matters of the Heart Collection Chapter 9 The Morning After
I was leaning against the low bar. Adam picks me up and sits me on it. He opens my robe, and starts kissing me while standing between my legs. He grinds into me. Only barrier is his thin boxers. I reach in them to find he's hard again. Oh yes, I'm ready too. I pull him out of his boxers and guide him into me. He pulls my butt over the edge so he can thrust into me while holding my hips. I lay backwards on the bar giving him better access. "Wow that's so freaking hot. I'm in deep. Feels so good!! Are you ready?" He asks. "Yes Adam, yes I'm ready!" I agree. A few more thrusts and we both climax together. I've never had this much sex. It's amazing! "Hell yeah!!!!" He groans loudly. "Geez we're like a couple of horny teenagers." I giggle. "I think I'm addicted to you. The more I have you the more I want you. Are you a witch? Have you put a spell on me?" He laughs. "Someone has been watching too much tv!" I laugh. "Possibly, let's eat. I really do need my strength to keep up with

His hand tightened painfully on my arm as he walked me out. I just pray Adam picked up and can hear what's going on. "Jesee why are you doing this? I told you we were over." I say. He doesn't reply just keeps walking us through the mall to an exit. Thankfully it's the same exit I came in so I know Adam will be nearby. I just hope he's paying attention and listening. I don't want him hurt, so hopefully he'll just call the cops. Once we're outside he walks faster. We're just about three feet from his car when I hear Adam yell out. "Isabel!" Adam yells. I turn to look at him. I mouth "call police". And I hope he doesn't try anything. I have no doubt Jesee will shoot him. Then I mouth "please don't". I hope he understands. I don't know if he understands, or is just trying to save me himself. He and his security start running towards me. Jesee shoves me in the passenger seat then turns to face them, they are still about fifty feet away. Jesee takes out his gun. The security grab Ad

I go slow as I really don't know if I can go through with it. I unbutton his pants and slide his zipper down. I just keep telling myself it's just to stall, to allow Adam to get the cops here. I just need more time. He uses the gun to caress my cheek. I have to close my eyes so he can't see the revulsion in my eyes. It must work as he hums thinking I'm doing it in pleasure. I push his pants down, taking more time. But he's impatient and shoves my hand inside his briefs. I finally take him in my hand. I can feel the vomit about to come up my throat. Finally, there's a pounding on the door. "You didn’t listen. I told you I would not let another man have you. I’ll kill him first. Get rid of whoever it is, or they die then you do. I'm not playing." He demands. "Ok." I agree. He’s right. I did this. I created this problem. I can’t let him hurt Adam. “I’ll talk to him and explain I need to talk with you. He’s probably just confused because of what happened at the mall. I’ll get him to
Matters of the Heart Collection Chapter 12 Confession
"We dated for a year. Three days before I came here, I walked in on him screwing his secretary in his office. I ended it. He followed me here and showed up at a club I went to with my coworkers. I had a couple drinks and I wasn't drunk at all, but I wanted answers." I reply. "Why he cheated, did I not please him. I was feeling so insecure about myself. He had admitted he liked it hard and rough but he thought I wasn't the type of woman who would like that part of him. So, he used others for that kind of sex." I explain. "He's obviously messed up." Adam replies. "Please, I need to finish. He'd been screwing her for six months! And been with three other women. l wanted revenge so badly did something stupid." I continue. "I brought him back and showed him what he was missing. Then I ended it again and threw him out. Security escorted him out of the building. I pushed him over the edge." I paused. "It was my stupid revenge that caused him to do this. He told me that now he knew how g

"Oh oh." I gasp. "Cute. Why don't you just stay here? You've got what 4 months left?" He asks. "Adam we just met. I don't think I should be moving in with you. I mean it's complicated to say the least. I'm afraid this won't end well." I explain. "Look I can provide you with the security you need. We are both into each other. And what if your Ex gets out on bail?" He asks. I bite my lip thinking. What will I do if he gets out on bail? I know he'll come for me. But I'm afraid of falling hard for Adam and having my heart broken.But my heart is better than my life. And this will probably be short lived. Maybe I should just enjoy it while it lasts right? "Ok. You're right I have to think about him getting out on bail." I agree. "This is the right thing to do. Trust me, I'll keep you safe." He promises. I call Mr. Jackson and let him know everything. Well not the sleeping with Adam. But I told him I was staying at Adam's house for the security. He didn't question it.It's been two w
Matters of the Heart Collection Chapter 14 The Question
Security shows us to the manager’s office. We go in and sit down. Adam explains what happened. "I want to apologize Miss Gilliam for what happened. "I'm glad you had videos to prove your case. But you're putting me in a hard place. You know whose daughter she is. I can't afford trouble with her father. I'm not throwing you out nor black listing you. And I can't throw her out either." He explains. "Are you kidding me?!" Adam demands. "Adam don't. Just take me home." I reply. "Don't worry we won't be back." He warns. We leave the club. So much for celebrating. We get to his house and go to his bedroom. "Is the universe trying to tell us something? First Jesee, then Rachel. I mean seriously?!" I reply. "Fuck the universe and to hell with Jesee and Rachel. I want you. And only you. Isabel, I want you to think about something. I want you to consider moving here permanently. To California and here with me." He replies. "I don't know what to say." I gasp.

Could I be? Or is it the stress? I wash my face and brush my teeth again. The police escort is here to take me to the hospital. I get to the hospital and Grant is signing his release papers to leave. “We need to stop at the pharmacy. I need to get some gauze to change the dressing on my hand." Grant replied.“Umm, yeah I need to stop and get something as well.” I said. “Oh? What?” Grant said. “Well.. I ah.. Gosh this is so not the time, and so hard to say.” I stuttered. “Darling what’s wrong?” Grant asked. “Well I thought it was nerves, but I’m not sure..” I replied.“Not sure about what?” Grant asked. “I’ve been getting nauseous. And I’ve thrown up a few times.” I explained. “Something you ate?” Grant asked. “No, I don't think so.” I denied. “Stomach bug?” Grant asked. “No.” I replied.. “I don’t understand?” Grant was confused. “I think I might be pregnant.” I blurted. “Say something please?” I begged. “I’m just caught by surprise.

The ambulance and police finally get there after what seemed like forever. They take Grant to the hospital but I have to stay behind to talk to the police and the detective. “Yes, that's definitely brake fluid. I’m going to go look under his truck at his brake lines. I’ll also have a professional look it over. I’ll be in touch.” Detective said. “Okay, thanks! I need to get to the hospital.” I said. I go to the condo and get my stuff and call an uber for the hospital. I get there and have to wait in the waiting room until they get him in a room. “Are you family of Grant’s?” Dr.Greene asked. “Yes. We live together.” I replied. “I can’t discuss his condition without you being family or his consent. But he is in a room now and you can see him.” Dr.Greene said. “Thank you, that’s perfectly fine. I understand your policy.” I responded. I went into his room, sick to my stomach. He’s here because of me. Because of my deranged ex. His head is bandaged and his face is pa

KENZIE'S POINT OF VIEW He’s so angry and I’ve not heard him use the f word. Grant’s not the kind that curses, one of the things I love about him. He doesn’t smoke either and drinking is strictly a glass at special dinners. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I should have been here to make sure you had an escort home.” Grant said. “I didn’t want you to be worried while you were driving. And we can’t let his bullshit control our life. You have work and I have work. I took an uber and I will from now on, on the days you’re gone.” I said. “Okay, but I want you straight home and not to go anywhere. You’re safe here and at work.” Grant said. “I know and I will. I promise.” I agreed. Good, let’s eat before it gets cold.” Grant replied. After we ate, we watched a movie. And half way through it we couldn’t keep our hands off each other. The rest of the movie was forgotten. “You make me insane everytime I see you. I want to take you to bed and strip your clothes off you. And make lov

KENZIE’S POINT OF VIEW We lay there for several minutes waiting for our breathing to calm down. And I realize this is real love. I’ve never felt this much, it’s more than sex. it’s mind, body, and heart. Wow 36 years old before I find real true love! He leans down and his lips meet mine. No hurry, taking his time enjoying the pure bliss and aftermath of our love making. He lays down beside me and when his body leaves mine I feel so empty. He pulls me into his arms and kisses me again. We’re laying on our sides facing each other. His legs tangled in mine, his arms wrapped around me. END OF KENZIE’s Point of view “Wow, that was amazing. It was the best I’ve ever experienced.” Grant said. “Me too.” Kenzie agreed. “Give me a few minutes and I want a repeat.” Grant smiled. “Ah Grant?” Kenzie said. “Hmm?” Grant said. “We didn’t use protection.” Kenzie said. “You’re not on the pill?” Grant asked. “No. I can’t take the pill. I have a condition that makes me highly suscep

“Yes?” Grant said. “Umm he can’t get up here right?” Kenzie asked. “No he can’t. Even after he gets out of jail don’t worry about him coming back here.” Grant replied. “Okay, would you..” Kenzie started to say. “Would I do what??” Grant asked. “Uh, nothing, never mind. See you in the morning.” Kenzie said. “What is it Kenzie?” Grant asked. “I just, um, I don’t want to be alone.” Kenzie responded. “Would you like for me to sleep with you tonight?” Grant asked. “Would you mind? I mean just sleep, that’s all.” Kenzie blushed. “Go to bed, I’ll be there in a few minutes.” Grant said. Grant made sure the door was locked. Then he went to his room to change clothes. He put on gray joggers and no shirt. “Oh my, I didn’t think this through. I don’t think I’m getting any sleep tonight.” Kenzie thought. “Ah, where’s your shirt?” Kenzie asked. “You’re lucky I have joggers on. I normally sleep in my boxers.” Grant responded. He climbed in bed behind her. Her heart was b

It must be Bob or Grant. Bob has been bragging so much about how well the office is running now. She went to the front desk. There’s a beautiful flower bouquet. “I’m McKenzie Berkley.” Kenzie said. Front desk said. “ This is for you. They are so beautiful.” “Yes, they are. Thank you!” Kenzie said. “Miss me?” Leo said. He’s right behind her and the fear is stuck in her throat. Slowly she turned to him holding her breath.“What are you doing here?” Kenzie asked. “I came to collect my wife.” Leo said. "I don’t know if my face is pale from fear or red from embarrassment as the front desk clerk knows I’m living with Grant." Kenzie thought.“Ex-wife, and I’m not going anywhere with you. I left you and filed for divorce.” Kenzie said. “And I refused the divorce and you are coming home where you belong.” Leo grabbed her wrist. “No I am not! I am home. I live here now!” Kenzie said. “How can you afford this?” Leo asked. “That’s none of your business.” Her face turned red. He squeez

“We don’t need privacy. I broke up with you almost a year ago. Why do you keep showing up where you’re not wanted?!” Grant shouted. “But baby you know our parents want us to marry, have kids, be with our own kind.” Amber responded. “Holden, you were supposed to keep my alien status a secret!” Kenzie crossed her arms. He bursts out laughing and she gives me the death glare. “You think you’re funny don’t you?” Amber asked. “Ah, Holden, you should read this text from Mary.” Kenzie said. “Yeah, I know I am. I’d rather be funny than a desperate woman.” Kenzie said. “Look Amber, for the last time I don’t love you. I am not marrying you. As a matter of fact I’m in love and seeing someone else. So don’t come back here.” Grant replied. “You don’t mean this old hag do you?! Please tell me you’re joking?!!” Amber said. “Shut your mouth! Leave now before I call security! And don’t come back!” Grant yelled. I open the door and held it open. She storms out. “I see, I’m not the only one w

“I want to say yes, but I feel it’s a bad idea.” Kenzie saId. “You saw how big my condo is, It’s paid for. All I pay are utilities. Stuff I pay whether you’re there or not.” Grant explained. “Let me pay half?” Kenzie said. “If it will get you to say yes, okay.” Grant said. “Are you going to tell Leo?” Grant asked. “No, I’ll leave a note when I leave.” Kenzie responded. Kenzie didn't tell him about the one time she packed to leave and Leo threatened to kill her. Telling her he’d rather her be dead than with someone else. Or the many times he said if he caught her with another man he’d kill them both. It’s all talk, she thinks. She's moving 6 hours away and not telling him where. She goes on lunch break to the courthouse and picked up the paperwork she needs to fill out for the divorce. She'll file it the Friday she leaves. Mary and Pat are going to help her pack at the last minute. All she really has are her clothes. Grant is bringing his truck after Leo leaves for work. Her

“I can draft a letter for you and list my info, and say It’s a training trip. And maybe you could stay a couple days?” Grant said. “I don’t think I can afford that.” She responded. “You could ride down with me on Sunday and then I can drive you back when you’re ready. I’ve got vacation days I can take. And I have a 3 bedroom condo. So you don't need a hotel.” Grant explained. “I don't know if that’s a good idea.” She said. “I promise to be a complete gentleman. No funny business.” Grant said. “Okay.” Kenzie said. So I tell Pat and she’s more excited than me. She’s going to help my cover story in case Leo calls my work. When the letter came in the mail Leo threw one hell of a fit. Said he forbade me to go. We fought every day, I almost backed out. But Sunday came and I had my luggage and met Grant at my office so I could leave my car. “How bad was it today?” Grant asked. “Just more ranting and cursing.” She said. “I found several very affordable apartments in goo
