Thank you for sticking with my story all your reviews are appreciated.

Chp. 8 ~Count to 5 Amelia, it will be alright!

Previously

She picked up the Tech & Science magazine that Ross left her. Looking at the table of content she found the page that featured Dr Sheldon Cooper Tech Genius, rolling her eyes, she opened it to page five.

Amy blinked, the hairs in the back of her neck roused. She came face to face with her Mr. Darcy better known has Dr Sheldon Cooper. He smirked back at her with does intense blue eyes that had made her feel like she was the only woman in the world.

"Hell."

Her tormentor and the man that had made her screamed in ecstasy were one and the same.

"No fucking way."

XXXX

She was shocked.

Amy didn't know how long she had been staring at the magazine she had in her hand. How could she had been so stupid to fall for his good guy persona in Vegas? The man was and had been an arrogant, inconsiderate jackass, ever since he started communicating with her. She had never met him out side of heated emails.

Vegas

Amy opened her mouth taking a bit of the chocolate cover strawberry she was being fed.

'Mmmm, that's good.'

Her partner leaning down to lick a patch of chocolate that lingered on her lips.

She felt her insides tingle.

He had woken her up, carrying her bridal style to the bathroom the size of her bedroom. A room that had a tub that looked more like a small pool. Filled with scented bubbles. It reminded her of the one in the Scarface movie.

'Figured you might be a little sore. This should help.' He had told her before placing her in the tub. They were both naked but this didn't seem to bother either one of them.

'I'll be right back, keep the water warm for me.' He told her winking before grabbing a robe. He dimmed the lights until there was a soft amber glow in the room.

His words coming out with a sexual undertone.

She made a makeshift bun on her head to keep her hair from getting wet before sinking into the warm water feeling her body relaxed.

Closing her eyes, she leaned back. She must have dosed off. She opened her eyes to see him getting in the tub placing a tray next to them. He had return with a fruit bowl and some Champaign.

'How did you get them to bring this stuff up this late?' she asked him

He smiled at her before dipping his index finger in the bowl of melted chocolate, his eyes locked with hers.

'Let's just say I have the power of persuasion.' he said mischievously before placing his chocolate cover finger to her lips.

She licked his finger teasingly before wrapping her lips around it sucking it all the way to the knuckle.'

XXXX

"So, tell me about her." Said Missy.

"What is there to say? We had sex that's it." Sheldon said shrugging his shoulders.

She stared at her brother similar blue eyes clashing.

"What?"

"Come on Shelly, spill it!"

"I don't know…I enjoyed her company outside of… you know." He looked away for a second.

Missy raised an eyebrow at him.

"She was the first girl that didn't have an agenda."

Sheldon kissed her slowly, his hand gently rubbing her back.

'So, power of persuasion?' she asked playfully

'That's me.' he said trying to sound modest.

'That I can believe.' She laughed at his poor attempt. As he moved closer to her to taste her lips again.

'Mmm that taste so good, you taste so good.' He told her moving from her mouth to her neck.

"I can't believe we are having this conversation Melissa."

She rolled her eyes at him, slapping the table she ordered "Continue!"

"I felt relaxed, let my guard down you know." He got a faraway look. "I had the feeling that she had felt the same too."

XXXX

'How can a man that makes her so furious could turn around and kiss her so tenderly?' Amy wondered.

She had to get out of there. Amy grabbed her stuff and headed home. Making sure she grabbed the magazine.

She found herself reading the article with a glass of red wine in her living room. Amy grimace a little remembering their dinner and how they had connected over a bottle of red wine in Vegas. After finishing the article, she found herself googling and Wikipediaing everything about him.

The woman she had seen him with was his twin sister and her son. Amy felt relieved that she was his sister and not his wife for some reason.

Even after she got over the shock of thinking he was married she had felt envious of the wife.

"Yeah like you would ever have a chance." She mocked herself "What am I saying? I don't even like him."

'Liar!'

He was a proud uncle.

He had two PHDs, was a young genius graduating from high school at 11, wealthy family – old money but was self-made, he was considered a ruthless business man, he was popular with the ladies but was discreet with his affairs. Well until the women involved let slide about their flings with him.

Amy snorted at that.

"No worries, I won't be talking to any gossip sites about our encounter." She said out loud laying back on her sofa.

She smiled up at him before pushing him onto a chaise lounge chair not far from the tub. She was going to explore her sexuality and learn everything she could about a man's body. She wanted to know what made him feel good, what touch would give him the most pleasure, and what would make him react as she had.

She kissed, nipped and sucked him as he had done her, pleased with herself when he groaned. She touched him everywhere, her fingers light and soft as they passed over his skin. When she finally made her way down to his groin area, his breathing had become distinctly ragged. She stroked and squeezed him, finding herself aroused and in control by the way he grew harder and thicker each time she did. But when she leaned down and timidly took him in her mouth, he nearly came undone.

Amy found herself quivering with arousal remembering that night.

'The man was insatiable.'

XXXX

"She wasn't with Mr. Cooper the CEO of a multi-million-dollar company she was with…" he tried to finish but pause.

His sister gave him a smile and finished for him.

"She was with Shelly?" Patting him on the hand before squeezing them encouragingly.

He looked at her and nodded.

Inwardly Melissa seethed in anger. 'Damn you Ramona, for making my brother so distrustful of women.'

"She saw the real you, the one that you try to hide from everyone else outside the family."

'I haven't even told you my name.' he said stopping his exploration of her neck.

He looked down at her with hooded eyes.

'Don't you think it's time for an introduction? I think I want to hear my name come out of these lips.' He told her kissing her again

'Hello, my name is S-' She kissed him cutting him off. Her tongue exploring his lips.

She broke away 'I rather we not.'

He frowned confused at her 'Why not?'.

'Because I like this between us.' Moving a finger back and forth between them. 'I rather not ruin it with introductions. Plus, we agreed on a pleasurable experience for both of us, didn't we?' She smiled mischievously.

Sheldon didn't like it, cursed inwardly at his words coming back to bite him.

He continued to frown at her.

'Please.' She pleaded.

She kissed him running her hands on his chest. Getting brave she moved her hands lower wanting to touched the part of him that had made her a woman in a sexual way. He moaned when she touched him. Her hands timidly wrapped around his girt.

Sheldon closed his eyes falling for her ministration.

'No doubts, no regrets remember?'

Sheldon frowned snapping out of his haze.

"Hold on, I'm not trying to date her or anything but…"

"Oh my god!"

Missy narrowed her eyes at him. "You are just mad because she beat you at your own fuck them and leave them game."

"Melissa!"

"She left you before you could leave her." She told him matter of factly before taking a sip of her ice tea.

Sheldon grimaced not liking what he was hearing "Eh, please! she would be lucky if I made her a kept woman."

"You are such an ass Shelly."

"You're the one that believe in that hippie love stuff around here."

"Oh shelly, I worry about you."

"Don't, I enjoy my bachelor life."

"One day love is going to hit you right in the face and there will be nothing you can do about it."

"Forgive me if I retort with a look of haunting derision" her brother broke out in contemptuous laughter.

XXXX

~Few weeks later~

"Sheldon please I need you as my wing man." Raj "It's not like you are doing anything tonight."

"I'll think about it."

Stewart the architect in charge of building the new SRL facility was giving them a tour before the ribbon cutting ceremony on Monday.

"Everything is as you specified."

Sheldon inspected the each are and was satisfied with the results.

"You have done a great job Stewart."

"Thank you, that means a lot coming from you." The CHWK architect beamed before continuing. "The new tenants have been moving their stuff in already. Some projects have already been started."

Sheldon nodded at a few people passing by.

"Currently the neuroscience wing has been functioning and their experiments have come off with no issues."

"That's great." Said Raj.

"I spoke to Dr Fields and Dr Fowler they have been very happy with the new labs and offices." Stewart told him.

"Hey let's go see if they're in." said Raj eagerly.

Sheldon motioned "Lead the way."

They stopped by the Neuroscience Director's door.

"Dr. Fields?"

"Hello."

"Hello."

Dr Fields was a burly man that looked out of place at the lab even though he was a renowned scientist. His gray hair giving him a grandfatherly look.

"Nice to meet you finally Dr Sheldon, I have heard a lot about you from my second Dr Fowler." He said with amusement. Giving Sheldon a strong handshake.

"Oh, you have? All good I hope." Sheldon said with an arrogant smile.

"Some not so good." Dr Fields said staring intently at Sheldon with a straight faced. Amy had let him see some of the emails Sheldon sent her.

Sheldon raised a questionable eyebrow at him the smile leaving his face. "You neuroscientist have no filter I see."

Dr Fields smiled "If that filter is akin to ass kissing then you are right, we don't."

That answered seemed to shock the three men in the room.

"Speaking of… where is Dr Fowler?" asked Raj trying to cut the tension and the pregnant pause that had follow. "I want to make sure she's settling in fine."

"You just missed her; she went back to the old office to ensure its been cleared out."

"Well I hope Dr Fowler is finally happy with her facilities I had it made to her specifications. Now she won't have to complain about needing money for this and that." Said Sheldon his tone a bit condescending.

Dr Fields let out a rowdy laugh slapping Sheldon hard on the back, feeling satisfied at Sheldon's painful wince.

"Amy doesn't know the meaning of the word complain, she demands."

"She kind of reminds me of you in a way; She likes to be first and she hates sharing."

XXXX

Mrs. Fowler watched her daughter pace back and forth in her kitchen. She reached over to the discarded magazine on the kitchen island.

"I can't believe I was so stupid…"

Her daughter had been going on about unknowingly sleeping with her boss in Vegas for the last 15 minutes since she got there. Inwardly she was happy that her daughter had finally discovered her sexuality.

"Better late than never." she whispered to herself rolling her eyes at her daughter.

She flipped the pages until she found the man her daughter was complaining about.

"Mmmh, he's good looking and rich too!"

"MOM!"

"Oh, stop acting like women don't sometimes sleep with their bosses. I remember in my younger days before I met your dad. I might have fell in bed with a supervisor or two."

"Nothing to be ashamed about Amy."

"By the looks of this one, you were eager to drop them drawers like you young people like to say."

"I'm going to pretend that I didn't hear you say that."

"You're supposed to be on my side."

"But I am honey."

"He's so callous to me, he makes my job harder that it needs to be. His bedside manners are atrocious."

Her mom eyes widen.

Amy rolled her eyes at her mothers' expression. "Not those bedside manners, can you please get your mind out of the gutter. And act like a mom should in situations like this!"

"What do you want me to do Amy? Rant and rave at you for sleeping with your boss? To disown you for having a one-night stand?"

"That I encouraged by the way…that's why I put that dress in your suitcase." Her mom told her doing a little dance to emphasize her statement.

"I can't believe your happy about this." Amy pouted like a three-year-old.

"Stop being such a prude."

Amy turned hunching her shoulder and letting out a frustrated breath stumping to the kitchen table and sitting down with a huff.

"So, he doesn't know that he slept with you. So, what's going to happen when you guys cross paths? You did say you are moving not far from the headquarters."

"I don't know." Amy said covering her face with her hands and placing her head on the table.

"I mean you guys just had great sex, is not like you are in a relationship."

An incoherent sound came from her daughters covered face.

"From what you described about him, he's a lady's man."

"And an asshole don't forget that!" Amy said from her covered face.

"I'm sure you are not the first employee he has slept with and won't be the last." She threw that dig at her daughter just to see her reaction.

Amy sat up looking at her mom intently, if looks could kill, she would be dead in her kitchen floor.

Mrs. Fowler smiled slowly realizing something "Oh, so that what got your panties all in a bunch."

XXXX

'What's wrong with Amy?" Asked Mr. Fowler watching his daughter leave after giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"You know your daughter; She's no longer a virgin and she's having a fit over it."

Mr. Fowler raised a bushy eyebrow at his wife.

"The lucky boy is her boss and she hates him." Mrs. Fowler told him rolling her eyes.

"So, there is a future with kids calling me Poppa?" Mr. Fowler asked a bit excited, rubbing his palms together.

"That and a rich son-in-law."

Mr. Fowler blinked several times before nodding amazed at his wife. "Uh, interesting."

XXXX

"Dr Fields will be retiring in six months and a new director will need to be selected. Dr Fields has already someone in mind to replace him, she has filled-in in the pass for him and has done a great job. That's what I wanted to talk to you about, since I have been overseeing SRL."

"Who?" asked Sheldon.

"Uhm…I believe is Dr Fowle—"

"No." said Sheldon not letting Raj finish.

"Why not? She's brilliant and it's her research that's brings in investors." Protested Raj.

"We will appoint someone else once I vet them."

"But Sheldon why do that when we can appoint someone that has been basically running the department.?"

"I don't want her running it that's why!" Sheldon told him getting irritated.

"Well it's not up to you Sheldon. The board of directors will have a vote."

Sheldon gave Raj a smug looked. "SRL is my company not CHWKs and I won't need a vote."

"What's your problem with Dr Fowler?" Raj asked him. "You have taken issue with everything she does."

"For one she is egotistical and doesn't know her place." He said.

"Doesn't know her place…Are you listening to yourself? You sound like sexist asshole." Raj admonished him.

"This has nothing to do with her gender Raj, I…just… don't… like… her." He emphasized each word.

"Why? As far as I know you have never even met her in person."

"I'm not going to sit here and explai—"

"Sheldon you need to have a good reason, you not liking her is not a good reason, and the board is going to have a vote I don't care if it's your company. And let's not even talk about Dr Fowler suing your pants off if she finds out about your reason for keeping her from the position."

"And how are you going to make that happen Raj?"

Raj gave him an evil smile "What would happen if the FCC…say gets an anonymous letter detailing how you had another company that you secretly own help undermined and influence the sale and bankruptcy of one of our competitor's company."

"That's blackmail!"

Raj nodded.

"You wouldn't dare." Sheldon told him through clench teeth standing up from his chair, "You would go to jail along with me and let's not talk about how this empire would grumble to the ground for what? some woman you don't even know?"

Sheldon fists dug deeply into the heavy mahogany desk but he felt nothing. He could not believe that one of his friends would do this to him over a woman. Sheldon was livid

"Do you know her? Are you fucking her? Is this what this is about?" Sheldon gave him a nasty look "Raj never knew you would easily be led by your dick and with the help of all people."

Raj kept his cool closing his eyes and taking a deep breath before saying.

"Whatever Sheldon, I'm not involve in anyway outside of a professional relationship with Dr. Fowler."

"You don't get it?" Raj continue "With our resources she's going to make us millions Sheldon! SLR could be a Billion-dollar company with her research in less than 5 years."

Sheldon sat back down his anger starting to subside. He could not deny that Doctor Fowler was brilliant she was one of the reasons why he brought MBI. Their email exchanges tended to be a little explosive, but unlike everyone else in this corporation she never gave in. She gave as good as she got. She was not intimidated by him and he secretly admired that about her but that also made him want to make her bend to his will. Sheldon was the type of man that always got what he wanted he was used to destroying those who got in his way. He looked at Raj narrowing his eyes before smirking at him. He will let Raj think he has giving in.

"I will consider her for the position but it will be open to all that qualify to apply for it."

"And the board of directors? This position will have to get voted on after all." Asked Raj.

"All finalist will have to brief a proposal to the board before we vote." Sheldon finished smiling the board will follow his lead when it comes to voting.

"Raj we both know you would have never followed through with that FCC threat."

"Well, we will never know, now will we?" he said leaving Sheldon's office.

XXXX

"Mom what are you doing here?" Amy asked letting her mom into her apartment.

"Tomorrow is your big day and I will be damn if you go to work looking like a Puritan fresh off the Mayflower."

Amy followed her mom into her bedroom, falling face down on her bed in defeat, while her mom rifle through her closet.

"Really Amy how are you going to get a decent man dressing the way you do. Ah! Here we are, why are all the good clothes all the way in the back of your closet Amelia?"

"Let's see we want him to see that butt of yours so…this black pencil skirt with the split on the side will do nicely. Let's add this tie neck striped blouse to the skirt."

"Amy, I hope you shave your legs tonight, no tights and no orthopedic shoes tomorrow."

"And for god sakes if you have to wear a cardigan please wear a black one."

"Make sure you wear grandmas' pearls tomorrow. Nothing says power like a set of pearl earrings and necklace."

"and lastly put a little curl in your hair."

Amy felt the bed dip with her moms' weight. She felt several kisses placed on the head.

"I'm so proud of you and so is your dad!" Amy moved her head to the side bring her hair away from her face to look at her mom.

"You told him?"

"Of course, I don't hide anything from your dad." Her mom told her running her fingers through Amy's hair.

"So, chin up Fowler, show that boss of yours that he can't intimidated you, ok?"

Amy nodded.

XXXX

Amy looked out the large glass window at the man cutting the ribbon to commemorate the opening of her new work home.

He was dress immaculate, his jelled hair slicked back gave him a sexy villainous look. The arrogant smile plastered on his face made her feel all crazy inside.

She decided to stay inside and watch the ceremony. There was going to be a meet and greet reception in the large conference room. She took small breaths, why was she nervous? She had the advantage after all she knew who he was. Will he act like they have never met before?

'Chin up Fowler.' Amy smiled at her father's favorite saying to her.

She was glad that her mom had come by last night. She lightly touched the pearl necklace for comfort. She pursed her lips thinking about his emails. This gave her strength she wasn't going to fall over him like a fan girl. She was Dr Amy Farrah Fowler damnit!

XXXX

Sheldon stood next to Leonard meeting and greeting his new employees. Dr Fields boisterous laughter making him jump.

Dr Fields slap him in the back "Dr Cooper! So nice to see you again."

Sheldon winced giving him a half smile. "Dr. Fields."

"Leonard this is Dr Fields the head of Neuroscience Department."

Sheldon looked around the room for an instance letting them introduce themselves to each other.

"Amy!" said Dr Fields happily "Come…come let me introduce you to Dr. Hofstadter and this one here Dr Cooper!"

Sheldon turn to look at her and blinked not believing what he was seeing. Unconsciously, his eyes soften and the toothiest smiled crossed his lips.

She turned and looked at him. Her Jade color eyes expressionless.

There was an air of familiarity between them that made Leonard and Dr Fields looked between Amy and Sheldon confused.

"Have you two met before?" asked Leonard.

"Yes." "No!" Both Amy and Sheldon said at the same time.

Making things more baffling to the two bystanders.
