Behind Closed Doors

Chapter 53

Sasha bit her lip. "I'm not sure this is such a good idea Brian. I mean, your divorce has only been final for less than 48 hours!"

"It is only dinner Sasha." He replied. He had known she would be hesitant. That was why he had decided to add the business talk to the dinner rather than wait until Monday to discuss it with her. He knew it would relax her and put her more at ease. "I have a business venture to talk to you about."

"Brian!" Sasha laughed. "This room is not set up for a 'business dinner'! This is one of the most romantic settings I have seen in a long time!"

"So what?" He asked squeezing her hand. "I wanted to thank you for everything you've done for me lately." He shrugged. "So its a little romantic. I'm a free man now. Heck, I've been a free man for years now if you get right down to it!" He looked at her. She looked frightened. "If you are uncomfortable, I'll turn on the lights."

Sasha hesitated before speaking. She wasn't exactly uncomfortable in the setting. She wasn't exactly comfortable either. She wouldn't deny she had feelings for Brian and she knew he had feelings for her as well but he was still a newly divorced man with 3 kids and more importantly, her boss. She sighed. "Its OK. You don't need to turn on the lights."

"Are you sure?"

Sasha nodded. "I'm sure. Do you need any help finishing dinner?"

"Nope. Thank you though." Brian led her over to the table and pulled out a chair for her. "Be right back." He said as he headed into the kitchen after seating her.

Sasha looked around the room. 'Call it what you want Brian.' She thought. 'I call this a seduction dinner and that is something I cannot let happen.'
