<h4>She's all I've dreamed of for years but she's my employee...and around her I turn into a stuttering teenage boy.</h4><p><br></p><p>We've been dancing around each other for years. It's not a dance I'm proud of. The day we met I fell out of my chair. Now we're stuck in this repeating pattern: she corners me I freeze then I bolt. I'm 33 years old and I should be able to handle a woman better than this.</p><p>But she's not just any woman. She's tough smart and her curves make my legs numb.</p><p><br></p><p>Oh yeah <strong>she's also my employee.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>But when I finally work up the nerve to talk to her I stick my foot in my mouth. Then that night when her world is touched by violence I firmly lodge my foot all the way into my throat.</p><p><br></p><p>Now I'll do anything to fix what I've broken. I'm working to contain the aftermath of that night and I have a plan to woo her (yes I said woo). And my plan was working. Slowly steadily she was coming to me.</p><p><br></p><p>Then my brothers decided to 'help' us along and <strong>now we're stranded</strong> at a tiny motel in the middle of nowhere in a snowstorm.</p><p>And there's <strong>only one bed</strong>.</p><p><br></p><p>When we get out of here I'm going to murder my brothers. Then I'm going to make damn sure the threats against her are handled. Because even though I'm a computer geek I am more than capable of being the man she needs.</p><p><br></p><p>I just hope I don't run out of time before I can show her.</p>
