Sitting at her desk, Brianna skimmed through Hector’s file, searching for the brief. There was a knock on her door and she glanced up in time to see Matt enter.

After Dominic proposed yesterday, he took her out to dinner to celebrate. She never had a chance to call Matt to cancel. “I’m so sorry,” she said.

He stood across from her, the desk between them. “Where were you last night?” he asked in a low voice, barely audible. “You never showed up, didn’t answer your cell. I was worried.” He put his hands on the desk, leaning forward, only inches away from her.

Brianna set the file down. “What’s wrong?” she asked.

“I want to know where you were.”

Brianna slid her hands onto her lap so Matt wouldn’t see the engagement ring. “I’m sorry I didn’t make it. Something unexpected came up.”

“I need to talk to you,” Matt said. “It’s important. Can you to come over tonight?”

“Do you need to tell me something? Or do you need to talk as in: I come over and somehow we end up naked and you do things to me that leave me craving more?” Matt finally smiled. Brianna knew she had to break off her relationship with Matt now that she was engaged, but he was so sexy, leaning on her desk with that wicked smile.

“I really need to talk to you, and it is serious. However, afterwards, I’ll make dinner, and then we can take a bubble bath.” He leaned in closer.

“You have my full attention,” Brianna said as she imagined Matt’s body covered with bubbles.

Whispering in her ear, Matt continued, “And then, well, we can move to my bedroom.”

“I don’t know . . . the bedroom’s so normal. I expect so much more from you.”

There was a knock. Both turned, assuming it was Steve who caught them talking too close to one another for co-workers. However, instead of Steve standing in the doorway, it was Dominic. Brianna froze. Dominic’s eyes locked with hers. There was an intensity to them she’d never seen before. He reminded her of Salazar.

“I hope I’m not interrupting anything,” Dominic said, articulating each word.

It seemed like time was in slow motion. Brianna never intended for Matt and Dominic to meet. She didn’t want Matt to know about her relationship with Dominic. What would he think of her? Glancing at Matt, his eyebrows were drawn together, clearly confused.

Dominic walked into the office and looked at Brianna expectantly. He crossed his arms, waiting.

“Hi Dominic,” Brianna said. She was sure her face was bright red. It felt over a hundred degrees in her office. “I’ll be right with you.” Turning her attention back to Matt she said, “We’ll have to continue this conversation later. Leave the file with me so I can review it in greater detail.” She closed the folder in front of her, hoping Matt would catch on and leave.

Matt stood erect and turned to face Dominic, giving no indication he was going anywhere. “I’m Matt Fueller. I work with Brianna.”

Brianna hurried to stand between them.
