Chapter 1/30
Full Summary: Joy Velasquez's life was the ordinary normal life of an office secretary until her sexy boss Carl Knight seduced her. Who knew having a bit of fun late at night in the office could turn into something so wonderful and great, but also terrifying? Carl and Joy soon find themselves immersed in a fight to save humanity. Carl's slightly un-hinged ex-wife, Miranda, opens a dark ancient portal to gain unstoppable power and unleashes an unspeakable evil onto the world while the royalty of vampires threatened by the hundreds years old prophecy come after them from another side. Torn between two worlds and two fights, they ride a rollercoaster of love, life, death and destruction, all the while, trying to figure out how to stay together. A tale of love, lust, and the fight for humanity.

"Markus, you wanted to talk to me?" asked Miranda as she walked into a dark office.
"Yes, I did. Have a seat, Miranda," replied Markus, his dark skin blending into the darkened office like a chameleon.
After Miranda sat down Markus continued, "I have all the pieces in place. All we need now is the ritual assembly. The council has given us a month to do this before the Queen will step in herself."
"I can do this Markus. Hopefully Carl still has some feelings or lust left for me. It will be much easier that way," Miranda replied.
"Good. When this succeeds we will be in a position to do what we want. I'm gathering my people now. Self fulling prophecies always come true," said Markus smiling darkly.

After grabbing some dinner, Carl sat back in his large padded office chair and sighed in frustration. This was the seventh day in the last two weeks that he'd spent pulling yet another late night.
Carl's thoughts immediately turned to his employee Joy. She was the only one of his employees that had been putting any overtime in. He needed to reward her somehow. He struggled through the mountains of work he had to do while being distracted with thoughts of how best to repay Joy's recent hard work.
He got up and shut down his workstation. He glanced at the clock on his desk and saw that it was past eight. There was still so much to do. He walked past Joy's office, which was not that far from his. Her office not long closed and he decided he must do something to repay her soon; he quickly started coming up with a plan.
The next day Carl had his plan in place with a silk lined boxed in his hands as he entered his office for another long day in the office. Waiting until everybody else had left the building he continued working, unable to concentrate though.

After taking a short break from the endless piles of invoices and customer order forms, Joy trudged wearily back up to her office. Sitting down in her chair again, she sighed at the still rather mountainous pile of paper that Carl had handed her at the start of the day. 'These audits are going to kill me,' thought Joy she hadn't had much of a night to herself in over two weeks.
Joy rubbed her eyes and sighed tiredly as the details on the lists of car parts and machinery ran together. She looked up at the clock that said seven-thirty; she was tired and had an ache in her lions that she had to take care of. Neglecting it for the past two weeks was making her tense and irritable.
"Joy? Could you come here for a moment?" called out Carl her boss. Joy just groaned in frustration, knowing that she was still far behind in her work that she agreed to do, she just wanted to go home.

Carl sat in his chair stressing over how Joy will take his advances. Being as tense and irritated as he was, he hoped he wasn't going to blow it. Carl was taken from his thoughts as Joy knocked on his door.
"Come in, Joy," called Carl.
Joy entered Carl's office, tense with what he was going to ask her to do. She hardly ever saw Carl, and was momentarily stunned by his worn, tired look. That with his loosened tie made him look very appealing to Joy, the ache that wanted to be attended to not caring who it was with. 'He looks just as worn as me,' thought Joy as her eyes raked over his broad muscular form.
Her eyes rested on the black silky box resting on a stack of paper beside his computer. 'I wonder what's in there?' thought Joy.
She was brought out of her thoughts as Carl said, "I wanted to thank you for all the work you've been putting in Joy. So I got you something special. I also I want to discuss with you a possible pay rise," Carl picked up the black box and handed it to her.
Joy grinned widely accepting the box and said "Thank you Mr. Knight,"
"Carl please, Joy," said Carl.
Joy's eyes widened as she opened the silky package and pulled out the sexiest lingerie she had ever seen. For a moment Carl was worried that Joy was going to reject it and say that she was involved with someone.
