I just wanted to thank all my readers. So thank you for your reads, votes and comments. This has helped my story become number 96 in the romance category. Because of you guys continued support and love for my first story it has inspired me to write another story. It's in the beginning stages and I will start to upload when "My New Boss" is completed.

——————————————————————————————

I have been out of the hospital for two and a half weeks. My wounds were healing nicely but my doctor still hasn't cleared me to go back to work. I mean it's not like I will be doing any heavy lifting, but whatever. I've been staying with my parents and I must admit for the first few days it felt good being home, but now I'm restles and I just want to go.

"Vince I was thinking about coming in to work today for a few hours. Just being home is driving me crazy."

"No you won't you haven't been cleared to come back. "

"I know but I can't take it, I love my parents dearly but they won't let me do anything, I feel like I'm being held hostage."

His deep laugh caused an involuntary shiver to run up my spine. "It's not funny, what if I were to hold you hostage?"

"I think I'll enjoy that."

"I bet you would. I haven't see you in two days."

"It sounds like you miss me."

"Um maybe a little."

"Just a little, I dont know if I will be able to make it then."

"Okay I miss you a lot, but then it could just be the pills talking." I said laughing.

"I have a meeting across town this morning so I'll be over in the afternoon."

After hanging up with Vincent I finished getting dressed. I was going into work anyway and since he wasn't going to be there what he didn't know wouldn't hurt me. When I arrived at work I went directly to my office and and checked my emails and voice mails which took me the better part of an hour.

I was walking into Vincent's office when my cellphone rang, seeing that it was Tasha I answered it.

"Hey Z, where are you?"

"At work. Don't give me a lecture I was just tired of being cooped up. Momma and daddy are at the restaurant so I came to work."

"Well I don't blame you just take it easy and I'll see you later."

"I will." I walked into Vincent's office looking for a specific report. I was looking through a file and humming when I heard the door open.

"What are you doing here?"

"Who me?"

"Do you see anyone else here?"

"You see what had happened was.."

"Save it." He sat on his desk and and pulled me between his legs. "You know you are not supposed to be here right?" He asked and then kissed my nose.

"Yeah I know and technically neither are you. What happened to your hand?" I asked grabbing his right hand to look at his bruised knuckles.

"I hit a wall. So why are you here then? He asked before kissing my jaw.

"What is this ask a question, give a kiss. Not that I mind."

"Are you going to answer my question?" He asked before he started kissing my neck. His warm breath and wet tounge on my neck caused my insides to clench.

"W-What was the question again?"

"Why are you here?" He asked running his fingers up my back.

"I can't remember... Oh yeah I hated been cooped up. I needed to get out of the house. I just wanted t-"

When he kissed me it felt like everything stopped for a moment. It was filled with so much passion. I leaned forward trying to get as close as possible. Our tounges fought for dominance. When I sighed he took control and kissed me like his life depended on it and I sank my fingers into his hair.

"Zara is that you?" I heard from behind me.

"Who else would it be Sharon?" I knew it was her before turning around.

"Oh, you never know. I haven't seen you in a while, I thought maybe you quit or something."

"I bet you would like that, but if you must know I was attacked a few weeks ago." She gasped and shock spread across her face.

"Oh, well I'm glad to see you are okay. I have to go."

"Wow, Sharon showing concern for me. I'm shocked."

"You should get going too bella."

"Why?, so we won't have the cliché boss employee scence on your desk."

"There is nothing cliche about what I would do to you love." He said before biting my bottom lip.

"You should go home and rest and follow doctors orders."

"I know my own body better than anyone, I'm alright."

"I've gotten to know this body pretty well myself. You still should rest."

"But-"

"No buts sweets." He said kissing my forehead.

"Okay I'll listen to you this time but don't get use to it."

"I wouldn't dream of it."

I didn't feel like going to my parents house and I definitely was not going home so I went to Vincent's place instead. When I got there I changed into one of his shirts and sat in the living room to watch tv. I must have been tired because I knocked out quick on the couch.

"Zara, sweetheart wake up."

When I woke up I saw Vincent standing over me. "What's wrong?" I asked sitting up.

"Nothing, you left your phone at work. Seargent Jamison called. He wants you to come down to look at a lineup. Then afterwards we can go to dinner." He said smiling when he heard my stomach growling.

"What time is it?"

"Half past six."

"I slept all day. No wonder I'm hungry."

When we arrived at the police station we were met by seargent Jamison.

"Ms. Collins how are you? If you will just follow me we can get started." We walked down the hall to where another officer was waiting.

"Okay Ms. Collins this is a two-way mirror meaning you can see them but they can't see you. It's going to be two groups. If you recognize anyone just tell us the number. Okay?"

"Okay."

"Okay Bobby send in the first group." He spoke into the microphone. "Take your time Ms. Collins."

I recognized one of them right off. This one was Charlie. "Can you tell number four to come forward."

"Number four step forward."

"Damn." I whispered. I know I fought back but I didn't do this. Somebody beat the heck out of him.

"That's him. He's one of them.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm positive."

"Okay Bobby you can send in the next group."

"After I was done with the identification process seargent Jamison informed me of the next step and told me I could go.

"Vince can I ask you something?"

"Anything bella."

"So that wall you hit, um did it you know have a face?" He just grunted took my hand and we walk the rest of the way to the car in silence.

"We have to call this off Michael. What would have happened if she died. I don't want to be apart of this anymore. I didn't sign up for this."

"You are in it just as far as I am. Don't forget what I can do to you Sharon. I can make it look like an accident and nobody would even give a crap about your pitiful life." He said and hung up the phone.

"I'm just about done with her anyway. She's served her purpose." He said looking in the mirror.
