Savannah nodded as she took a seat across from Kaci’s cluttered desk.
“Here’s a temporary badge until you get yours,” she said flinging a badge at her.
Savannah quickly put the piece of plastic around her neck.
“I’ll also make sure that Jackie from HR talks to you this week so we can set up all your pay information, but right now I need you to get lunch for everyone.”
Savannah blinked for a second and then nodded, knowing full well that she was basically Kaci’s bitch now.
“There’s a deli around the corner that usually provides lunch for Rachel Ray’s crew across the street. Just tell them you’re with the new talk show and use this,” she flipped through her wallet and pulled out an AMEX card.
“Right.” Savannah said, carefully placing the card in her purse. “And, what show is this, exactly?” she asked, feeling foolish.
Kaci smacked herself on the forehead. “Oh my god! I nearly forgot! Of course, you’re wondering because we couldn’t disclose anything during the interview.” She jumped out of her chair and motioned Savannah to follow her down the hall. They walked into a big well-lit lobby and Kaci proudly pointed to the huge poster that took up much of the opposite wall.
Savannah nearly fainted. Grinning sexily back at her from the larger-than-life poster was none other than Dr. Elijah Preston. "The Ask Dr. Preston Show".
“Fuck,” she breathed.
Forty minutes later Savannah was hauling a cart of food back to the studio. Kaci directed her to a large cafeteria space and Savannah began setting up the fruit, veggies, chips, sandwiches and drinks. Her mind was still reeling over the discovery that she was now working for Elijah.
She had angrily swallowed tears on her trip to the deli, wondering if Elijah had pulled strings to get her hired. She tried to tell herself that he had no idea she had interviewed on Friday, but then again, a man as powerful as Elijah was probably privy to all types of information.
People began filing in just as Savannah had placed the final stack of napkins. Some people smiled hello to her, while most of the employees seemed to stare right through her.
Another young woman with short inky black hair and wide-set eyes came up to her and stuck her hand out.
“Hi! I’m Kiki! Are you the new PA? I’m a PA too!”
“I’m Savannah. Nice to meet you,” she said gratefully shaking Kiki’s hand.
“I’ve only been here for two weeks, but we definitely needed more help. I think this show is going to be huge! Dr. Preston is so damn sexy! I can’t wait to actually meet him!” she said excitedly.
Savannah nodded as she shoved a sandwich half in her mouth to try to distract herself.
She couldn’t necessarily share with Kiki that she had wanted to fuck Dr. Preston so badly over the weekend that her muscles physically ached from her yearning.
The lunch break passed quickly and Elijah never appeared. The room cleared out and Savannah found herself alone, clearing up the table.
“I’d know that body anywhere,” a deep voice spoke and Savannah wheeled around, instantly knowing whom she would see.
“Dr. Preston!” she gasped, as her heart began to pound wildly in her chest. She could feel the blood in her veins begin to move quickly as her entire body suddenly felt alive and on edge.
What the hell did he do to her?
“Elijah,” he drawled as he moved towards her like a mountain cat. He was dressed in black pants with an expensive looking navy blue shirt and grey tie. He oozed power and wealth as he watched Savannah closely.
Savannah backed up against the table, feeling cornered as Elijah approached her. She felt her chest heave up and down from her heavy breathing and she tried to get control of herself.
“Did you do this?” she asked angrily, trying to focus on her anger over possibly being handed a job without earning it.
Elijah smiled and shook his head. “You did this all by yourself,” he whispered. “I only saw your name on the employee list this morning.” He was now standing less than two feet from Savannah and she could see how white his teeth were and how perfectly his lips moved when he spoke.
Savannah tried to decide if she believed him or not.
“Trust me. I have better things to do than worry about what PAs are hired. But now that you’re here, I have to say that I am more than pleased.” His words somehow seemed dark and promising and a delicious thrill ran over Savannah at the prospect of their meaning.
“I have work to do,” she said, turning her back to Elijah as she began to gather the leftovers.
“You work for me now.” His voice was seductive and carnal and Savannah felt herself moisten at his tone.
“That’s not how it was explained to me,” she retorted and suddenly the lights went out and Elijah was beside her.
“How did you-”
“Doesn’t matter,” he breathed as his mouth moved slowly along the outside of her ear.
Savannah shuddered from the erotic sensation and she felt her defenses weaken.
“I always get what I want, and right now what I want is you, Savannah.”
“You can’t have me,” she said breathlessly.
“I can’t?” he asked, his power over her evident as he hoisted her onto the table and swept the leftovers off with his arm.
“Oh,” Savannah gasped as he brought his mouth to her neck, his lips hot against her skin.
He kissed up her exposed throat and then brought his mouth hungrily down upon her lips.
Savannah kissed back with equal fierceness, her need for Elijah completely overwhelming her.
Elijah pushed her back on the table and expertly undid her pants and slid them down her thighs until they fell into a heap on the floor. Savannah moaned as his fingers grazed across her silk panties, his touch electrifying. She spread her legs shamelessly, welcoming Elijah between them and he nestled himself between her open thighs as he continued to kiss her.
Savannah was panting heavily as she felt Elijah’s fingers brush across her upper thighs before moving back to the top of her panties. He toyed with her underwear, pulling at the top and letting it snap back gently against her skin. Savannah knew that men like Elijah were trouble. She had seen enough wealthy and self-assured men growing up and she knew those traits coupled with power were a deadly combination. Yet, Savannah couldn’t pull away from Elijah and she
found herself desperate to have him.
Pushing her shirt up with one hand, Elijah brought his mouth down to Savannah’s taught stomach, kissing gently down to her navel as his other hand caressed her clitoris through her underwear.
“Stop,” Savannah moaned, “It’s my first day.”
“I’m the boss, remember. This is exactly what I need my production assistant to do,” he murmured, nuzzling his head between her legs. Savannah gasped as she felt Elijah blow warm air against her aching sex and she writhed on the table under him. Smiling seductively, he used his teeth to pull her panties down and then pulled them off entirely with his hand. Savannah’s head rolled back with ecstasy and she knew that she was in way over her head. Elijah was worldly and experienced beyond any man she had ever been with. In fact, she wouldn’t even call her past lovers men, they were boys compared to Elijah.
“Shh,” Elijah whispered and Savannah realized that she had been moaning loudly, her voice breathy and unrecognizable.
“This was all I could think about all weekend long,” he breathed, “Tasting you.” And with that he lowered his mouth to her desperate sex and she arched her back so far that she thought she would snap in half. Nothing she had ever felt in her life came close to the pleasure that she now felt with Elijah’s head between her legs. Her eyes rolled back into her head as she bucked on the table and she could hardly wrap her head around the delight of Elijah’s tongue.
