The rain hammered against the windows of Danny's office, casting a calm atmosphere to the tense conversation between Claire and Danny. They sat across from each other, the air heavy with worry and unspoken words. Especially from Claire. She had something to do with Danny and until the thing is done, she would not stop talking.

Claire paced nervously, her mind racing with thoughts of Elena, her best friend who had been missing for days now. Danny, seated behind his desk, wore a frown as he scanned through the latest updates on the search efforts.

Claire fidgeting as she moved her weight to her other leg. "I just can't believe she's gone missing like this. What if she’s in danger? Oh my gosh” Claire clasped a hand over her mouth.

Danny looked up from his work. He sort of felt guilty for working but then he had to. He hasn’t worked since Elena had been declared missing. "We're doing everything we can, Claire. We'll find her. Elena is strong."

Claire peeked up at him. She was looking for

    Claire’s POV“It’s Netflix and chill,” Danny said to me, as he went to get the remote. I smiled like an idiot. Few minutes ago, I thought I was going to leave his house but when he grabbed me and slammed his lips on me, I knew I had landed the jackpot.It was already dark, a clear sign he would not let me go and knowing how tempting I found Danny, I wondered what the night held for both of us.I had already started imagining what making love to him would feel like. I imagined it in vivid, perfect detail, but not enough of it to put into words. The details were there, though, and that made them better. My body was humming at the thought alone, my blood thrumming with anticipation and desire. It felt almost impossible to think about anything else, so I just ignored that part of myself when I wasn’t thinking about sex. “Come here, baby.” Danny said as soon as he sat.My heart skipped a beat as I obeyed the command, but even through the jacket, I could still feel the heat coming off of h

    Claire’s POV The next thing that happened, I had not envisaged it. Immediately Danny slipped off the bed, and in a couple of swift strides I found myself pinned to the mattress, the sheets falling away. Danny straddled me, one leg bent, one foot on either side of my hips. The heat emanating from his face set my teeth on edge and brought a flush to my cheeks. Danny leaned down and kissed me again, but his lips were rough as his hands groped and cupped my breasts. His erection rubbed up and down between us and drove me insane. I tried to pull him closer, but he stopped and pulled away, grinning wickedly.“This is where I get all of my magic,” he murmured. His smile faded and he looked serious now, staring into my eyes.“I have had you once and I still want to do it again” he said. I tried to speak because I didn’t quite understand what he was talking about but then he smirked.“I knew it was you from the beginning. With the wig. At that masked party. “He said and just like that I was
