asked.
'She said I can move in tomorrow. Can you believe it?" Sal answered in amazement.
"No, that was quick. I might have some more good news for you too. Adam is looking for guides and he wondered if you wanted to be one."
"You're kidding. Yes definitely, tell him yes," she replied enthusiastically.
"Okay, pop in here on your way back from the beach and you can talk to him about it," she suggested.
"Okay, see you later." She hung up.

"Well Sal's on board," Fay shouted across the office to Adam.
"Great," he called back

She dialed Susie's number.
"Hello."
"Hi Susie, it's Fay here."
"Hi, how's things?"
"Good thanks and you?" Fay enquired.
"Not bad, busy as usual."
"Listen, I was wondering if you knew of anybody who was looking for guiding work, Adam needs some guides and we thought that you might be able to put us in contact with someone," she asked hopefully.
Susie thought for a while. "Hmm... most of the people I know already have work...oh actually I may know of someone. Jen's new boyfriend has not long moved out here and he may not have found work yet, Nick I think his name is," she added.
Fay grinned and looked towards Adam. "Do you have a contact number for him?"
"No but I'll be seeing Jen within the hour so I'll get her to ask him to stop by your office, if that's okay."
"Great, thanks Susie. I'd better go now but we'll catch up soon right?"
"Yes, see you soon," she agreed.

When Fay looked up Adam had moved from his desk and was nowhere to be seen.
"Where's Adam gone?" Fay asked Ann.
"He's in the back room I think," she said, looking towards the room in question.

Fay got out of her chair and headed for the back room, which acted mostly as a storage place. Adam was bending over searching through some boxes on the floor and he stood up and turned when she entered.
"We may have another guide," she said, moving into the room and leaning backwards against one of the shelves.
"Great," he smiled.
"I was right about Jen knowing someone for the job." She watched his smile fade at the mention of Jen's name. "Actually Susie said that it was her new boyfriend, Nick his name is. He will call in later if he is interested."
He gave her a casual nod.
"You don't mind then?" she asked tentatively.
"Why should I mind?" His eyes searched hers.
She turned behind her and fiddled with some brochures on the shelf. "Well I just thought, considering your involvement with Jen..."
He interrupted and walked up to her, moving her hand from the brochures and turning her to face him. "We weren't involved."
She looked unsure. "Well, you had some kind of involvement from what I've heard."
He put his hands on the shelf behind her and moved closer. "That was entirely your fault," he accused.
She frowned. "How do you make that one out?"
He put his hands on her waist and his eyes moved over her body.
"I like this dress," he digressed.
"You were saying?" she reminded him, looking suspiciously at his hands.
"You left me all hot and bothered after you seduced me by the pool table that night." He moved his hands slowly up her back.
"I didn't seduce you," she said glancing nervously at the open door.
He put his head next to hers and whispered in her ear, "Yes you did, with your eyes and your sexy little blushes."
She felt her body react to his closeness then and backed away. "We should get back, and Ann's in there," she reminded him.
He reached towards the door with his foot and nudged it closed. Her heart jolted at his action and the realization that he wanted to be alone with her.

Oh god, don't Fay. Resist him, resist!

He slid his hands on to her behind and pulled her hard against him. She gasped in shock at his boldness and looked at him with her mouth agape.
"Are you shocked at how much I want you Fay?" he whispered.
She wasn't expecting him to be so brazen, particularly there, and it caught her unawares.
"Adam we can't do anything in here, Ann is in the other room," she exclaimed, trying to control the situation.
"I don't care, it doesn't make me want you any less," he said, raising a hand and running it along the opening at the front of her dress.
Her eyes widened and she watched, waiting to see how far he would go. His fingers paused at the first button but then he twisted it out of its hole.

What on earth was he going to do in there?

He gave her a devilish look and went for the next button, undoing that one too. She looked startled and followed his eyes down to the lacy pink and black bra that was now exposed.

Okay, that was enough.

Before she could stop him however, he suddenly bent and began planting kisses over the area he had exposed, peeling back her dress at one side and moving his lips onto her bra. She gasped out loud and he reveled in her reaction to him, finding the most sensitive part of her breast and sucking on it over the material. She put her hand on his shoulder and grasped it tightly; fighting the sensations he was arousing in her. He moaned and reached for her other breast with his hand, gently squeezing and teasing it.
"Oh lord Adam, you've got to stop!" she said breathlessly.
"I want to rip this bra off you!" he growled, running his tongue over her skin at its edge.
"Adam, don't say things like that." She looked to the ceiling, panting for breath and burning inside and out.
"Why, because it arouses you? Because it's exactly what you want me to do?"
"No," she had to think of another reason, "because, because we're at work and Ann is just through there," she said, finally finding the willpower to push him back.

He moved away with a groan and leant over one of the shelves next to her to regain his composure. She readjusted her dress with awkward movements, chastising herself for her lack of self-control. He frowned at the look on her face and went to exit the room, pausing on the way to stroke her cheek and whisper, "I don't want to be with Jen."

Chapter 32

The morning seemed to pass slowly for Fay; she kept making small typing errors and was forced to go back over her work again and again to check its accuracy. Typing up the information on the trips reminded her of the time Adam and she had spent together, but it also made her realize how quickly their relationship, if you could call it that, had progressed. In one way she was very flattered by all the attention he was paying her and she felt excited every time she knew that she would see him again. However, the more practical side of her was wary. She was a realist, able to make choices about her life based on logical decisions; although recently her mind had been overtaken with distracting thoughts brought on by secret, steamy glances and emotionally charged encounters.

She was so lost in thought that she didn't even realize that someone had walked into the office until they stood in the middle of the room and shook Adam's hand.
"Hi, I'm Nick. Jen said that you were looking for workers." He sat back against a table and loosely folded his arms in front of him.

Bloody hell, how had Jen managed to trap such a good looking guy?


He had a casual, relaxed look about him with blonde, ruffled hair and the kind of blue eyes that could persuade you of almost anything. He spoke with Adam and they seemed to fall into conversation easily as Adam drew Nick's attention to his computer screen and Nick appeared to sort out some kind of dilemma that Adam was having.

Fay turned her attention back to her work with determination to get it finished at some point that day. She only managed to type up another couple of paragraphs however before Sal burst into the office and demanded her attention.
"I'm so jazzed up about my new apartment," she enthused, sitting on top of Fay's desk and glancing at her work. "Plus now we will be working in the same place, how excellent is that Fay?" She clapped her hands with excitement.
"Calm down Sal, besides most of the time you will be at the airport so I won't see you that much. Even less now that you'll be moving out," she added.
Sal pouted and jumped off the desk, running around it and throwing her arms around Fay dramatically. "I'd forgotten. And I love you so much; you're my best friend in the whole wild world," she said, kissing her face. Fay looked astounded and glanced up to see Adam and Nick watching them with amused expressions.
"Yes, I love you too Sal but perhaps we shouldn't show it quite so much here in the office!" she frowned, untangling herself from Sal's arms.
Nick laughed. "Oh I don't know, carry on you two," he said cheekily.
"I'm with him on this one," Adam added with a grin.
Sal giggled, "You see, it's only Adam and..."
"Nick," he provided for her.
"...yes and Nick, they don't mind."
Fay shook her head in disbelief at Sal and nudged her away. Sal shrugged and turned her attention to Adam.

"So, when do I start work then Adam?" she called across the office.
"Officially, probably in a couple of weeks but you could collect some one off guests who are arriving tomorrow for me if you'd like," he offered.
"Okay," she agreed and then turned to Fay, "going to be busy tomorrow then what with moving out and going to the airport. Oh well, no rest for the wicked eh," she winked. "Who's he anyway," she whispered looking in Nick's direction.
"Looks like he is going to be working along side you, he's Jen's new boyfriend...I know," Fay said, noticing the surprised look on Sal's face.

At that point Nick glanced in their direction and Sal smiled, moving towards Adam's desk.
"Do I get to wear a sexy uniform then Adam?" she asked with a grin.
"Not tomorrow Sal but I'll get one organized for you to wear when you officially begin." He had
