When Vanessa Adler took on the position of being Aaron Huxley's assistant two years ago she didn't realize how forever her life would change when things started to spark between her and her boss, when her daily smiles finally start doing something t...

The next morning goes by in a blur of me getting ready for work and driving there on autopilot
I had another almost breakdown in my office yesterday but Aaron came just before I cried, being on the phone last night with him helped me, More than I ever thought someone's voice and presence could.
I knock on Aaron's door twice just like I do every day and hear "come in"
"Good morning" I smile walking over to Aaron
He gives me some papers he needs me to get done and then pulls me down on his lap to give me a kiss
"It's a good morning now that you're here," he says against my lips
I smile into the kiss, though it's difficult with the end of the week being too close for comfort "we should have a movie night at my place"
"If you want," he says connecting our lips again
"We should watch another Disney movie" I grin as I attempt to stray my mind from upsetting thoughts,
"How about no?" He laughs
I frown "why not?"
"You always cry in them" he nips at my bottom lip
"Well you will be right next to me to dry my tears...problem solved" I shrug
He rolls his beautiful Blue eyes "fine"
"Wonderful," I say kissing his cheek
He looks me over and I feel utterly naked under his stare, has he seen me naked? Yes many times, but this time it's different,
It feels like he's unmasking my lies and my fear of hurting him, how much of a failure I am to have caught myself in a situation where I'm going to hurt someone I love...
And I know I'll hurt him either way,
I die...he gets hurt
I live and break it off...he gets hurt
But I would much rather he hate me and move on than have to grieve me just as he did his sister...
I mean that man didn't smile for over eight years because of his sister's death, and his speaking about that last night reassured me that he can't know I'm dying,
I don't want to imagine what would mentally happen to him if he does
"I'll see you on break?" I say breaking the stare
He scans my face and then places a kiss on my jaw "see you then...unless I find an excuse to bring you to my office before then"
I don't think his touch will ever not make me feel complete, I close my eyes to memorize the feel of his lips on my body, the way he is teeth softly graze my neck, and the way his hand caresses my thigh and draws circles on it with his thumb,
