Free Forever Love by Melissa Johns Page B

they were dating. He wanted her to get the job on her own merits. She smiled, “He’s a very close friend of mine.”
    George nodded as they approached Sue’s desk. “Sue, Miss. Stone would like to see Alex, is he around?”
    “Of course, go right in, Emily.”
    She smiled and said good bye to George. “I look forward to seeing you on Monday.”
    Emily nodded at Sue as she walked by her and opened his door. He was behind his desk working on his computer as she softly closed the door behind her. He looked up from his desk. “You have no idea how much I wanted to tell you how breathtaking you looked today but I controlled myself.” He stood up and walked towards her. When he reached her, his hands went to her hips and leaned down and kissed her. “You look amazing, so professional.”
    “Thank you, Mr. Smith.”
    Alex smirked. “I do like it when you are so formal, Miss. Stone.”
    “I’m happy to inform you that I’m in your newest employee.”
    Alex smiled and pulled her over to his couch and they sat down. “Congratulations, Emily.”
    “Thank you and thank you for not telling George that we are a couple. I’m happy to know that I got this job on my own. You just got me in the door.”
    Alex nodded. “Yeah, we should talk about that. Sue is the only person who knows that we are a couple. I would like to keep it that way around here because I know how people talk and I don’t want you to feel uncomfortable.”
    Emily nodded. “I totally understand that. That’s fine. Mum’s the word.”
    Alex’s voice turned deep. “But, behind closed doors, you will be mine.”
    Emily blushed as she kissed him deeply.  He pulled her onto his lap as her dress tightened around her thighs. His hands pushed it higher as she moaned softly. His fingers traced over her nylons as they slipped underneath her dress. She broke the kiss. “Alex, we are in your office.”
    “That’s right, my office, no one is ever allowed in without my permission.”
    “But I walked right in.”
    “That’s right. You are the one exception to the rule.”
    Emily smiled and returned to his lips, his grip tightened around her as she sunk tighter around his waist. She could feel his reaction to her and knew she wanted more.
    When he broke the kiss, she looked into his eyes. “Alex?”
    “Yes?”
    “It’s time. Not right now but I want you.”
    Alex groaned as he kissed her again with every ounce of passion that he could muster towards her. “Are you sure?”
    “Yes.”
    Alex smiled and pulled her off the couch, he wrapped his arms around her. “Are we on for dinner for Friday night?”
    “Yes, Emma is looking forward to it.”
    “I would like to your invite your mom and Paul as well.”
    Emily smiled. “That’s so sweet of you, I’m sure they would love to attend.”
    Alex leaned in and kissed her again. “Do you think they would mind taking Emma for the evening?”
    Emily winked at him. “Are you inviting me to stay over at your house?”
    “Yes.”
    She felt her knees get weak as she tried to remain calm. “I’m sure that could be arranged.”
    Alex kissed her one more time before walking towards his door. Emily quickly adjusted her dress and smoothed her hair with her hands.
    “You look beautiful,” Alex whispered.
    She smiled as he opened his door. Everyone who was waiting to meet with him turned and stared at Emily. She looked at Sue and nodded as Alex walked her to the elevator. “Congratulations again on the job, Miss. Stone. We look forward to having you join our family here.”
    “Thank you for the opportunity, Mr. Smith. See you soon.” With that she stepped onto the elevator and the doors closed as Alex winked at her. She smiled when she realized that she had a job, an apartment and a wonderful boyfriend.
    As soon as she stepped outside, she grabbed her phone and called home. “Paul, I got the job!”
    “That’s wonderful, Emily. We are so proud of you!”
    “Thank you. Any chance you can watch Emma for
