earth.”
    “I am.”
    As they sat in silence Scarlett inhaled his scent of sandalwood and spice, a smell that made her feel at ease and at peace. Christian was everything she could ever want in a man and if she was looking she would be praying to the Lord that he would feel the same, but sitting in the elevator with a man who made her feel safe and secure just made her ache for companionship in a way she hadn’t in years. And soon curiosity got the best of her as she craved more from him. She wanted to know his likes and dislikes she wanted to know his soul. As her inner self fought with her heart struggling to fine the words to say to this man who was so caring and so sexy he reached for her left hand and latched his hand to hers.
    “Are you ok?”
    “Yes.” She said sleepily realizing for the first time since they had been stuck that she was sleepy.
    “What is running through that pretty head of yours?”
    She sighed as his fingers caressed her hand sending jolts to places she wished would stop throbbing. She sighed clearing her throat.
    “So what kind of women are you interested in?”
    “What do you mean?”
    “I mean if your mom keeps getting it wrong explain to me why. What is your type?”
    You he thought with a smile. She was a type he never knew he had, but sitting in the elevator with her and listening to her story made him want to hold her and caress her.
    Smelling her scent and feeling sparks of passion shoot through him every time he touched her or she moved. He had to readjust himself so she wouldn’t see the effect she was having on his manhood. “I think you are the first person to ever ask me that.”
    “So you have no idea?”
    “I’m thinking give me a minute.”
    She smiled as he breathed trying to figure out what he wanted in a woman and then realizing that he was sitting next to the woman of his dreams.
    “Well I guess I am looking for a friend.”
    “A friend?” she asked smiling.
    “Yeah someone I can talk to about anything and everything. Someone who sees I am so much more than this company and the money I have. I just want someone to want me for who I am sound weird huh?”
    “No it sounds like you know what you want you just haven’t found it yet.”
    He smiled to himself realizing that he had found it. “What about you?”
    “What about me?”
    “What are you looking for in a man?”
    Scarlett snorted. “Oh no, I am not looking for anything because I have too much to worry about.”
    “But if you didn't have anything to worry about what would you want?”
    “I guess the same thing as you.”
    “You guess?”
    She looked up to him then leaned back against him. “Yeah I want a friend, someone who I can tell my secrets too and know they won’t judge me. My past is so complicated that I am almost afraid to try again.”
    “Why?”
    She looked at her watch.
    “Wow I can’t believe it’s been an hour and a half and we are still stuck here.”
    “Is it that bad being here with me?”
    She sighed. “No, talking to you is really calming and I almost forgot we were stuck.”
    “That’s good. I see you tend to change the subject when you don't want to answer.” She sat up and straightened out her suit jacket as Christian stared at her.
    “What’s wrong?”
    “Nothing I just realized I spent an hour imposing on you.”
    “It wasn’t bothering me I kind of enjoyed it. You make me feel needed.”
    “Really and you like feeling that way?” He grinned opening his arms to her.
    “I like feeling that way with you.”
    She leaned back into his arms and took a breath.
    “I still don’t know what I am going to do. I really needed the money you know?”
    “Let’s not think about this now. For now how about you just relax who knows how long we are going to be in here.”
    She bit her bottom lip sitting next to him was testing every boundary she had. His hard lean body called to her in ways no man ever had. She wanted his soft hands to caress her and kiss her and she shook
