Normally he preferred tall women, thinking that they fit him better. But this woman, he’d definitely make an exception for. As he waited for her slender fingers to take his, he suspected he was going to make a lot of exceptions for this woman.
“Yes, I’m Gaia Fisher,” she finally said, her cold fingers securely wrapped in his warm, strong hands. Immediately, she was stunned by the electric shock of his hand touching hers, holding her fingers captive.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you,” he said, moving closer.
Gaia tried to pull away, but somehow, she found herself closer. Closer than she’d thought possible. She could smell him, could breathe in the spicy, masculine scent of this man and it sent her senses spiraling out of control. She was almost dizzy with the lust that hit her like a tsunami. Staring up into those green eyes, she knew that she was lost. And what was worse, she didn’t want to be found. Gaia knew that she would be perfectly happy to remain lost in this man’s arms, in that green gaze, for the rest of her life.
“I love your work,” he said.
Had the man’s voice deepened? She looked at his lips, wondering what it would be like to be kissed by this man. “My work?” she asked, not sure what he was talking about. Work was the farthest thing from her mind right at the moment.
His lips smiled ever so slightly and her amber eyes lifted higher, trying to understand. “Your drawings of the waterfront factory. I think it’s an ingenious idea to turn that building into condominiums.”
Drawings. What was he talking about? Gaia searched her brain, which wasn’t functioning, and tried to understand what was going on. Drawings. Factory. The plan!
“Right!” she replied, jerking backwards.
Unfortunately, her reality check meant she was backing up too quickly. In her pretty, new shoes, the ones she’d bought to give herself a boost of confidence for this meeting, she stumbled over her own two feet. Suddenly, the world was spinning backwards precariously. Her portfolio fell to the ground, her purse tumbled onto the polished conference room table beside her and, if there had been time, she would have groaned but her mind simply couldn’t function that quickly.
Knowing that she was going to fall painfully at any moment, she reached out and grabbed hold of the only solid thing within reach. At the same time, steel arms grabbed her around her waist, hauling her up against a hard chest. The “oof!” she emitted was inadvertent. Well, the whole debacle was inadvertent.
As was her gaze when she realized she hadn’t fallen into a heap on the floor at this man’s feet. Instead, she was pulled up against his chest. Shockingly, she felt her breasts swell with need, with surprise and…desire licked at her body in a way that was so intensely hot, she wasn’t sure how to deal with it.
“I’m sorry,” she whispered, looking up at him and feeling small. She never felt small! She wore the highest heels she could find so that men would take her seriously. So why was she still shorter than this man? Why was he towering over her in a way that made all of her femininity come to life?
His eyes skimmed over her features and a small smile formed on those sexy lips she’d just been contemplating. “I’m not,” he replied.

(By the way, I also write a line of erotica romances under the name Gabriella Rossi. They are a bit more sexual in nature, but still have the delicious alpha males and the strong women – just with an erotic slant. You can find more about them here: http://www.elizabethlennox.com/TheAlexaCollection)
