    Nikki
    I knocked my hand against the double wooden doors of the boss’ office and stood there anxiously waiting to see the man behind the desk.  A deep husky voice called from inside for me to come in and I placed my hand on the cold steel handle.  I slowly pushed down, pulled my shoulders back and opened the door, ready to fake my way through my first day at my new job.  
     
    Sitting in front of me was my new boss; my step-brother Sam.  He looked up at me with a somewhat shocked look that curled into a smile that I haven’t seen before.
    “Well, look at you, Nikki!  You definitely have grown up in the last six years haven’t you?  Come, come take a seat.”  
    He pointed to the seats on the other side of his desk and I smiled back at him as I tried to walk over confidently.  
    It’s been six years since I have seen Sam.  I moved to London with my mum once Dad decided he couldn’t put up with my behaviour anymore.  I was fourteen at the time and had really stepped up to the challenge of ‘rebellious teen years’.  Sam was twenty-two.  He was barely home but when he was, me and my girlfriends were always drooling over him.  He had changed a lot since then but still totally drool-worthy.  
    “How are you settling in back at your dad’s Nikki?”
    “It has only been a few days but I think we are going to be okay.  I have done a lot of growing up since I left so I think he will be able to put up with me now.”  I joked.
    “Yes, I can tell.”  He nodded with a cheeky grin. “Now, let us get down to business.  As you know, we are both doing your dad a favour here but you are a smart girl Nikki and I think you will fit into many roles here.  But to begin with, I think it would be wise to set you up as my personal assistant so I can get you well acquainted with how things work around here.  How does that sound?”
    “It sounds great Sam.  Just tell me what to do and I’ll do it.”
     
    I sat down at the corner desk just outside the doors to Sam’s office.  Folders were stacked up on both sides of the desk and Sam had asked me to read through them so I could get a good idea of their procedures and policies.  I took a deep breath and picked up the blue folder to the right of me.  It was bulging with papers.  It was clear that Sam had not had a personal assistant for a while as they didn’t even seem to be in order.  Today was going to be a long one.
     
    The phone rang an hour into my reading and I waited three rings before I answered to ready myself for Sam’s voice.  I picked up the phone and said hello, trying my classier phone voice, but there was no answer.  Oh, I remember, Sam said I needed to press a button.  Oh no, what button did he say?  I searched over the buttons on the telephone pad, my finger hovering above them for what seemed like way too long.  And evidently it was.  I heard laughing behind me and I turned around with the phone still pressed to my ear.  Sam was leaning against his door watching me in amusement.
    “Having some trouble, Nikki?”
    Embarrassed, I admitted I was.  “…Yes, actually.  Sorry to make you come out here.”
    “Don’t be silly Nikki, it is my pleasure to help you whenever you need.”
    He walked over to me with one hand in his pocket and stood behind me.  He slowly leant over me and I could smell his aftershave and I felt a rush of heat between my legs.  His arm brushed against mine, his face was so close that I could almost feel his clean shaven beard prickling my face.
    “See here, Nikki?  This button allows you to answer my call.”  
    He looked at me and I nodded mesmerized at his blue eyes looking at me.
    “You need to pick up the receiver first,” he continued, “and then press the button…”
    He continued to explain and I tried to listen intently to his words, trying with great difficulty not to reach my hand out and touch his pink, soft lips
