Our flight back to Chicago was quiet, Levi didn't say too much on the flight back. We both pretty much slept the entire flight, but when we were awake he ignored me.

The limo was waiting for us when we arrived, I get inside the limo with Levi getting in behind me, he ended up sitting on the other side of the limo, the ride back to my apartment I leaned my head back in the seat looking out the window it was slightly dark out as it was a little after 5am.

When we got to my apartment he helped carry my bag to my apartment, setting it down by the door "Have a good rest of your day." He says exhausted. As I looked into his eyes, I could sense and feel a little bit of hurt. They weren't the same eyes I seen back in Paris.

"You too." I say quietly turning around to unlock my door. When I turned around to grab my bag he was already down the hall. I grabbed my bag and went inside.

The rest of my day I spent unpacking and trying to stay awake to adjust back to the time difference. All I kept thinking about was Levi. I felt terrible for leading him on. He looked so hurt when he left.

The next day at work I was there at 7:45am making his coffee, and when 8am hit he was in his office. I bring in his coffee and set it down. He just looked at me and looked back down. "Thank you." He said softly. "You're welcome."

I walk back out and sat at my desk. He was so cold, normally he has a comment to make as I'm walking out the door, this time he didn't say a word. It was kind of nice. But knew something was bothering him, which bothered me. I kind of enjoyed snapping back at him.

I work on his itinerary for his trip to New York. When I'm done with it, I went to bring it to him, I knocked on the door "Come in." He said nicely. I walk in and he looks back down at his paperwork when he see's that it's me. "I have your itinerary for New York."

"Set it down please." He says sternly.

I place it next to him and start to walk out, but before I open the door I turn around. "Look... about what happened in Paris-" he cuts me off by putting his hand up. "Just go back to work." He said harshly.

I turn around and left in tears. I felt terrible. I sat at my desk looking for some Kleenex, when I looked up Sandy was there handing me a tissue. "Are you up for lunch today?" She asked with a worried look in her eyes.

I nod, "Ok.. but I better go make sure I can leave first." I tell her softly wiping my tears.

I knock on his door, opening it when he said to come in. "I'm just in here to see if it's ok to go to lunch with Sandy." I ask fighting back tears. He looks at me in a pained expression "Go ahead."

"Thank you.."

Sandy and I leave for lunch, just going to the diner across the street. We sat down and they took our order right away. "I'll just have a cup of soup." I tell the waitress.

"So.. how was the trip to Paris? Sandy asked curiously.

"It went great, everything I presented they went through with the deals." I say with a smile.

"I noticed the boss today, seemed awfully quiet. Normally when he gets back from a business trip he's at everyone's throats."

"It was a long short trip and then try to get back to the current time zone. They are 7 hours ahead of us." I say trying to change the subject.

"Can I ask you something?" I ask her.

"Sure."

"Why did Ms. Adams quit?"

"Well, I'm not all exactly sure, she always complained about how hard he was on her, she said he always told her that it seemed like she never could do anything right. She would complain about him all the time, always saying how much she hated him. Why?"

"Just curious..."

"Why were you crying earlier? Was he being his typical jerk self?"

"I don't know, I'm just tired I guess. You know how he is.." She looks at me like she knows I'm hiding something.

"You didn't have sex with him did you?" She asks wide eyed.

I look at her shocked "NO!, oh God no." I say shaking my head.

She laughs "I just wanted to see your reaction, if you did, I was going to say I wouldn't blame you, the man is damn good looking."

"Why, is he known for sleeping with everyone?"

"Not that I'm aware of, I've only seen him with maybe a couple different woman in the 10 years that I've worked for him."

"10 years? He's 30, he's owned the company that long?" I say shocked.

"Yes, from my understanding he started building his empire when he was around 15 or 16."

"Wow, that's crazy."

"It is, but it shows how smart he is, he definitely knows what he's doing..." she says pausing.

"Well we should get back before we're late, just cheer up will ya. He does leave for New York tomorrow, so you'll have a nice quiet break for a few days." She says with a laugh.

Back at work, when Sandy and I were walking in Mr. Matthews was on a rampage. She leans over and whispers "He's back." She said with a smirk before running to her desk.

I sit back down at my desk and take the phone call that was coming in. While I was on the phone writing dates down for his next big meeting I looked up and he was leaning down with his hands on my desk. His eyes were like they were before we went to Paris, looked like he was going to kill me. "In my office when you're off the phone." He said firmly.

My stomach dropped and I started to shake. I must have screwed something up I thought to myself. After I get off the phone I waited a few minutes taking deep breaths to calm down. I nervously go knock on his door, and open the door slowly.

I walk in and he scared the crap out of me. I didn't see him and when the door shut I felt him grab me and turned me around facing him. His eyes went from anger to lust and kissed me hard. I kissed him back for a few seconds and then shoved him off.

"What are you doing? I whisper loudly so nobody could hear me.

"I can't do this anymore."

"Do what?

"I tried ignoring you, backing off from you, then I saw the tears in your eyes.." He says as he cups my face.

"We can't do this, not here." I insist to him quietly.

"Don't you feel anything? Anything at all?" He asks desperately.

I don't say a word I just stare into his desperate eyes, "I need to get back to work." I say to him softly as a tear slowly rolls down my cheek.

"Talk to me." He begs.

"I have to get back before everyone out there starts to think something is going on between us."

"Let them think... I don't really care."

He inches closer to me, and my breathing starts to become heavier the closer he gets to me. I keep backing up and I end up backing into the wall.

He touches my lips with his thumb gently caressing them, he starts making me feel weak in the knees, and I finally give in. I wrap my arms around him kissing him hard as he shoves his tongue in my mouth, I let out a soft moan and grab onto his hair pulling him in closer to me.

He starts kissing my neck "I knew you had to feel something." He whispers as he's placing kisses along my neck. I place my hands on his face bringing his lips to mine, I end up pulling back trying to catch my breath.

"I have to go." I say to him rushing out of his office. I hurry out of his office and head to the bathroom. I lean over the sink looking in the mirror. "What the hell am I doing?" I mumble.

Once 5:00 hit I hurried to get out of there before Levi would say he was going to give me a ride home. I didn't want to deal with him anymore today. I was able to get a cab right away when I went outside.

I walk inside my apartment and I hear my phone making noises. I look at my phone figuring it was probably Levi and it was.

Where are you?

I'm at home.

How did you get home?

A Cab..

I thought I told you that you couldn't leave until I said you could?

Well I had to leave, I'm suppose to meet my sister for dinner.

I could have given you a ride home, I wasn't done talking to you earlier.

I have to go, I'll see you when you get back from New York.

I lied to him and I feel guilty about it, but I just needed to relax and think about what I'm doing. I start relaxing on the couch after putting a movie on and started to doze off. Just as I was dozing off there was a knock at my door. "You've got be fricken kidding me!" I snap.

I get up to answer it swearing at Levi for not leaving me alone tonight and when I opened the door I was shocked that it wasn't him.

"What are you doing here?
