Chapter One

"Holy sal" Claire looked up in time to see the object of her co-worker and best friend’s admiration walk past their table in the cafeteria Jason Danvers did truly have a butt to admire At well over 6 feet tall with dark-brown hair that tended to curl up at the end, coged and tanned athletic build, Jason Danvers was very hard to ignore His presence always seemed to dominate a room His every movement impatient, Jason never see their head to get a better look

"Suzy, keep it down before Mr S Buns hears you"

"Oh Paleeeeze Claire, don’t tellin your mouth as we speak"

"Suz, you’re tooto do with you?"

"Well I don’t knohat Jeff has in hts of handcuffs and whipped cream myself"

Claire had met Suzy on her first day at Danvers International, and it hadn’t taken long to form a bond with the outspoken, flashy and hopelessly sex-obsessed nyrow up to be, gorgeous and confident With long dark-red hair, a tall sli the fashion envelope at the office Suzy handled special events for Danvers International, and as she often told anyone who listened, she was daiven up trying to stress the importance of professional dress attire to her and now suffered in silence when Suzy showed up for work in various forms of leather and lace or neon colored t-shirts with catchy slogans Claire suspected she was so beautiful that no one actually cared what she wore, as long as they could admire her every day

Claire considered today to be a subdued day for Suzy with only a blue jean n on it Of course, the fact the skirt was barely legal and the bright pink hi-top tennis shoes were eye popping still ed to make her stand out in the cafeteria Claire often wondered how she’d bonded so quickly with Suzy Suzy had a colorful and sexy fashion style to say the least; Claire preferred adresses in neutral tones were her usual work attire Where Suzy favored the ‘I’ve just had hot sex’ hair look, Claire’s was long, auburn and tended to curl when loose, so she kept it pulled back from her face in a discrete ponytail, for thesalons even though Claire often lectured her on the dangers of that particular pastime Wherever they went, ht as well be a picture on the wall or a potted plant for all the attention they paid to her Suzy always begged Claire to let her do a ht

"I don’t kno you work so closely with hi him," continued Suzy

"I value my job and I just don’t think of hiht now"

"You’re way too uptight, live a little Claire; you ht actually enjoy it"

Thankfully, Suzy seemed to run out of steam in a relatively short amount of time on her ‘live a little’ pep talk and packed up her tray "Want to catch a movie later or check out the new bar on the corner?" asked Suzy

"I’ve got to run over to mom’s to pay her bills for theto have a wild h to appreciate it," Suzy said with a dra I wouldn’t do with hot buns"

No matter what the differences between them, Suzy was a breath of fresh air in her otherwise dull daytiht to herself that if Suzy had any idea what she was doing last night she would probably die of a heart attack on the spot Hopefully, that would be over before anyone ever knew the lengths she was forced to go through to pay her athered up her own tray and headed to the front to drop it off

"How’re you doing todaythe cafeteria for 30 years, hired back in the day Marshall Danvers, Jason’s father, started Danvers George always had a smile for everyone and in truth, a soft spot for Claire

"I’"

"When are you going to let me take you away from all this Claire?"

"Nohat in the world would Sara say, George?" Sara was George’s lady friend, as he called her, and the tere just a perfect match

"Sara would understand if I had to trade up, we got an understanding"

"George you wouldn’t even kno to get up in thewithout Sara, you better hold onto her with both hands, she’s a keeper"

"That’s true but a guy can dreae, you have a good day"

"You too love, see you tomorrow"
