No Rest Needed

"So, does this mean that I can expect you back at work on Monday?" Derek asked, and Emily had never been tempted like that in her life. She wanted so badly to just nod her head to tell him yes.

'Yes Derek I will come back to Haven Group and be your PA again,'But instead of nodding Emily found herself shaking her head.

The way something in his eyes dimmed and seemed to go out at her shaking her head made Emily want to take it back. It made her want to nod and tell him that she did not mean to say no, but she could not bring herself to do that. This was not just about him, and making him happy. It was about her as well.

And as much as she needed sleep, she also needed other things like food and being certain that she would be taken care of. So before she could agree to sleep with him and see if it worked.
