Ethan sat in his office chair dreaming about Brooke's perfection. Those long legs, the way her eyes sparkled, he felt himself drifting away in his fantasy, pity she was his best project manager. He glanced at the screen, another directive from head office. All office staff were now to be credit screened any not having a high credit rating would be let go as a security risk. Hell what security risk did old Jim pose, he worked outside keeping the grounds tidy so what if he slept in the shed at night at least he no longer was on the streets.

At least he didn't have to worry about sensible organised Brooke with those long legs. She came into his office carrying two mugs of coffee. His nose twitched it always did when Brooke was after something. "What are you after?" He asked. "Really Ethan how about its nice to see you?" "Alright its nice to see you now then what are you after?" "Well I was just wondering if you'd heard any more on the Hawthorn contract?" "The details came in this morning, I suspect it will take us three years to fill it and I suppose you'd like to be project manager on it?" "It had crossed my mind." After he'd invested two years of training her on the job she was ready, more than ready really and he felt sure she'd do a good job. "It's yours." She grinned at him, they both knew there wasn't really another choice. "Any gossip?" "Only on high has decreed any office staff who fails a credit check is to be let go as a security risk. God knows how I can get Jim the groundsman through." "He'll be OK, he's not office staff." Ethan relaxed and smiled, Brooke was good at spotting ways through and round red tape.

"You don't think my maxed credit cards will matter do you?" She asked innocently. "How much?" "Around $30,000." Ethan's pupils opened wide with shock. He looked stunned. Brooke stepped over to him and kissed him briefly on the lips before lowering herself on to her knees before him and undoing his flies. "What are you doing?" "Just trying to keep my job." Her lips descended and all this thoughts about what would happen if someone walked into his office were crowded out with other sensations.

Brooke curled up in his lap. "So boss any suggestions?" Ethan swallowed, "You haven't really got $30,000 on your credit cards have you?" "I could show you my balances if you like but this morning they were just over $30,000." Ethan closed his eyes, the Hawthorn project needed her, Ethan needed her. "How could you?" "Nordstrom had some very tempting clothing." Well he had that much in his savings account, somehow it had built up over time and he had thought about investing it but was unsure of whom to invest it with. He supposed it would save him having to think about it. "How much rent do you pay?" "My share is $1,100 a month but my roommate is moving out so I need somewhere new at the end of the month. Oh god they'll do a credit check as well won't they?" "We'll go down and pay off your credit cards this morning then if you move in with me you can pay me back with the rent money at least. Best teach you how to budget as well." "I don't think we can with all the rules about dating in the office, the only way would be to do the whole living together bit." Ethan felt his erection stir once more, and he knew that Brooke could feel it as well. "But if that's what you'd like to do? And certainly part of you is showing interest." "Eleven and a half months?" "You're the boss."

She'd have to see if she could tempt him past the magic 12 months that would make them a common-law couple or maybe not if she could tempt him to the altar beforehand. She'd better sell $20,000 of her stock and put it in a term deposit so she could definitely pay him back in 11 months time. She didn't want him out of pocket after all. She wondered when would be a good time to confess that shed taken two cash advances on her credit cards to exercise her old stock options that were barely 10% of the new stock price in the tax whatever savings account before the tax deadline, whilst she arranged a line of credit at the bank, in eleven months and two weeks time perhaps?
