*Note: I have requests to hurry and finish the story. I enjoy the build-up of writing these. If I wanted to write a short one, I wouldn't be able to encompass all the details I like to include so much. As I said at the beginning of Chapter One, if you don't have the time to invest in this, go to another story. Most chapters will come whenever they get approved.

Garrett's recollections often distracted him from his work. He sat at his desk, motionless, in a daze that wouldn't break until...
"Knock, knock," a silky-smooth voice came from beyond the door and, in, popped the head of Natalie, his receptionist. He watched her walk across the front of his desk.
"Mr. Conner, here are the fax returns you asked me to get for you."
"Thank you, Natalie. Just lay them there on the desk."
If Garrett wasn't a married man, Natalie would certainly be at his full attention, even though she was only a few years older then his daughter. He knew when he hired her it would be difficult to keep his mind from straying. He didn't hire her based on her looks, though that was a very nice by-product. She had plenty of motivation and he could tell she would be a very successful business woman when she graduated college.
Rebecca had told him not to hire her--that she was nothing but trouble. Garrett assumed she felt threatened, as she always did when he came into contact with beautiful members of the opposite sex. His wife had never realized how gorgeous she truly was, or at least she put up a grand front. She didn't talk to him for a month after he hired Natalie, and even after that, for years, she accused him of flirting with her when she had no proof. She constantly accused him of fooling around when he came home even the slightest bit late.
But she had reason to be jealous. Natalie was break-taking. She had dark brown, almost black, short hair, cropped neatly to frame her small, round face. Little points of it would dance about her face as she moved. She was almost intimidatingly tall, coming close to the height of Garrett. He figured she must be at least five-foot-ten. He loved her hair cut short, though he preferred long hair. Something about it was cute, yet sexy and completely different. Plus, he could see her incredibly gorgeous neck. She always seemed to stay tan. He thought maybe it was her complexion or she kept herself up well. He liked her dark brown eyes. They seemed to shine in even the dimmest lighting and had the look of a cat; aggressive and sly. They were almost always donned with square-framed, black-rimmed eyeglasses. Her jaw line was very distinct, with gorgeous lips that always stayed perfectly saturated with the newest shade of lipstick. Today was a darker red which made them pop with her complexion and hair color.
Garrett always noticed her delicate fingers since he was always looking at what she was laying on his desk. Thin, soft fingers, Garrett never saw them without perfect polish on her nails.
"Anything else, Mr. Conner?" Garrett found himself looking at her nails. He quickly followed her nails up to her face and smiled.
"I think that will do it for a while, Natalie. Thank you."
"Well, actually, Mr. Conner, there is one thing here I want you to see." Natalie pointed her finger down to the thin stack of faxes.
Garrett always seemed to take every little statement as sexual innuendos, it seemed. "Yeah, I'm sure there is something you want to show me," he thought.
"This quote doesn't seem to match up to the quote we received yesterday."
"Where is that quote," Garrett questioned. He slowly peered up, noticing Natalie completely bent over the front of his desk, still pointing to the quote after he had pull it in closer to see. He quickly caught a brief glimpse of her cleavage, pressed together by her arms, leaning over with her elbows on his desk. They looked miraculous, as they always did. She always wore very professional attire, but seemed to forget a few buttons on the tops or they simply plunged deep between her fabulous, young breasts. She knew she had a fabulous rack. Today she wore a thin, cow-necked sweater, which drooped considerably low on her chest. The folds of the sweater neck swayed back and forth as she adjusted her weight from one elbow to the other. Garrett could make out the front of her bra. Black lace. Garrett felt it coming on; that school boy desire burning hotter in his slacks. Quickly, he peered into her eyes acting as serious as he could.
"It's on my desk. I'll go get it"
Garrett watched her walk out of his door. Her office adjoined his, so that her desk faced directly into his office if his door wasn't shut. He had set the furniture up himself years before Natalie came on board. Her computer screen usually hid her face, unless she was telling him something on-the-fly or she just repositioned herself another way. Garrett felt like such a pervert sometimes. He could catch a peek of her panties every now and then, from under her glass desk. Many times he found himself in one of his trances, gazing at her incredibly long legs, always a sexy sheen running down them. He hated it when she wore pants.
