Doris clapped her hands. "That's great! Let's tell Dan." She pushed a button on the intercom.

Dan sat at his desk with a pounding heart and an unfocused stare. Could she be the one? Kay was exactly what he had imagined, years ago. And now that he'd found her, nothing else seemed to matter.

When Kay left his office earlier, he had dialed into his morning phone conference. Twenty minutes in, Dan realized that he wasn't paying attention and had no idea what was being said. He told them that he needed to attend to other matters and hung up. That left him free to think about Kay and hope with all his might that she would agree to be his partner in the game.

To play a game like this, Dan needed someone who was quick witted, flexible, and most of all, unafraid. Kay's transcript and letters of recommendation were excellent, but they said nothing about agility or self-confidence. Imagine his surprise when Kay demonstrated every skill he wanted, and more. She was also friendly, sensible, and honorable. But the arrow that pierced his heart and left him so helpless was definitely her sense of humor. Nobody ever got his "company of infinite possibilities" joke, but Kay spotted it without missing a beat.

Then there was the small matter of her looks. Kay had a stunning figure that couldn't even be hidden in a business suit. Trim and tall, busty and leggy. And what about those hips? Kay was a real woman, not some skinny hipless wonder. Her hourglass figure was going to keep Dan distracted the most.

Don't forget those lips. Okay, maybe her cute bowtie lips would keep him the most distracted. After he grabbed her slender waist and ran his hands all over her curvaceous hips and backside, he was definitely going to kiss those gorgeous lips, nibble on them a bit, and then devour her whole.

But he wasn't really going to do any of those things, because it was a one-way road to trouble. And then he wouldn't see her hips or her lips, and she certainly wouldn't play the game with him. He would simply have to be content to watch.

The intercom buzzed him out of his reverie, and Doris's voice rasped through. "Can Kay and I come in?"

Dan practically jumped in his chair but took his time in replying. "Yes, I'm free now." Like he hadn't been free for the past half hour.

They came in and Dan got up from his chair, delicately ushering them to the chairs across from his desk. He also sat in one of the visitor's chairs and turned to face Kay. "So, what do you think?"
