Taylor wrung her hands nervously as she sat in the reception area, waiting her turn to meet the man who could make or break her career. She was 15 minutes early to interview for a job as the personal assistant of Jerome Mills, the most high-powered executive in town, and she didn't want to mess it up.
She wore her hair down, with a grey jacket and pencil skirt that hugged her curves, tight enough to compliment her ass with a bright-colored low cut silk top that looked conservative enough for an interview but showed off her 36D chest.
Taylor liked looking professional and put together, but also wanted to look sexy, especially for Jeromeβshe'd been following his career ever since his photos first began appearing in newspapers and magazines years earlier, and was a great admirer of how he built up his business. She fantasized about learning from him and building a similar business of her own, and it was all she could ever talk about with her friends ... what she didn't tell them, though, is that she also thought he was incredibly hot, too.
As her mind drifted to Jerome's irresistible smile and how sexy he looked in the photos of him hung up around the office posing with various trend setters, the door to his office suddenly opened and the man himself came outside. Stay cool, Taylor, she reminded herself.
Jerome scanned the room until his eyes met hers, and her heart skipped a beatβthis was it. And damn, it was going to be hard. How was she gonna stay professional if he was looking that good?
"You must be Taylor," he said, his eyes meeting hers for a long time. Was it her, or did his eyes move down her body? The way he took his time sizing her up, letting his gaze linger just a little bit longer at the little bit of cleavage exposed under her blouse, made her tingle. Damn, he's even sexier in person, she thought.
"Hiβyes, I'm Taylor. It's so nice to meet you, Mr. Mills," she said.
"Please, call me Jerome," he said with a laugh at her formality. "Don't let the suit fool you, we keep it real casual around here even though we do serious business."
Getting up from her seat, Taylor followed Jerome into his office, which was decorated with dark wood and featured an amazing view of the Manhattan skyline. The office smelled like a faint mix of leather, cigars and his aftershave, and it was turning her on.
"Please take a seat, Taylor," he said. "I apologize, I was tied up in a meeting this morning and am just looking over your resume more closely now."
Taylor nodded and looked on as he scanned the paper with her name at the top. When she saw the job ad for his company a week ago and realized it an opening to be his executive assistant, it had been a dream come true. She didn't have a lot of experience working as an assistant but she knew she just HAD to get the job, and that she would do anything to prove herself.
But now, sitting across from Jerome and seeing his muscular build, his commanding and yet easygoing demeanor and those sexy lips, he was looking so good she couldn't keep her mind on the job. The room felt hotter and hotter as she wondered how it would feel to be touched by the man she'd admired from a distance for so long.
