We stood out on the almost-deserted street I looked in both directions, but the towing people had apparently worked their evil ic

“Oh no, your car!” I cried out, scanning past the rush of traffic to the empty curbs

“Quit worrying about it I have a question to ask you”

“But – ”

“Lily Focus,” he said, and touched his fingers to my chin so that I had to look at him

I suppose I should have been worried about Stanley seeing Connor esture, but the warmth of his touch – and the o all limp inside I stared into his crystal blue eyes

“Did you ht of your life?” he asked

Oh God

Lie, Lily – he’s just looking to inflate his ego – LIE, dammit –

“Yes,” I whispered

He leaned forward and kissed me

I flinched for a split second – Stanley’s going to see! I’ht, Screw it This is probably the last tiuy

I want to savor every last second

So I kissed him back

It was soft, sweet… and ro only the two of us

He pulled away first As I gradually openedoff toup to the curb beside us

“Come with me,” Connor said

“What?” I asked, still dreamy from the kiss

“You said this was the best night of your life So let’s keep it going Maybe even make it the best weekend of your life Come with me”

Two different emotions wrestled inside me: panic… and elation

“I… I can’t… what are you talking about?!” I asked, confused My head was spinning

He took both ainst mine

“Coently this time

“But – the reports – ”

“Are crap A fake test Klaus didn’t pass anyway Forget them Come with me”

This is crazy! I wanted to protest, but I was slowly drowning in his sparkling blue eyes

“The office – I left everything on – ”

“Who cares? Leave it and come with me”

I couldn’t

I was already going to be fired for unbeco conduct, or whatever you call it when you have wild sex on the boardroom floor

If I didn’t get those reports to Klaus, I nation on his desk

I had to finish those reports
