I wake up energized, minutes before my alarm is set to ring. I have a big interview with the CEO of a major corporation today. This interview is big; like potential promotion big. No one has ever managed a true interview with the head boss of Brinewick Corp. In truth, I have been burnt out with this job; a job that was what I thought I wanted, but turned out to be more tedious tasks and unsatisfying workloads. But this job, this interview, is a once-in-a-career opportunity that I am finally excited for.I get ready quickly, washing and curling and swiping on makeup. I give myself an assessing once-over at my reflection in the mirror. I went with black dress pants that synch around my waist, and cling to my legs enough to show the definition, but without being indecent for work. A long, bell-sleeved red blouse dips just low enough to show off the very upper swell of my breast, with my push up bra keeping the girls tame under the v-

“Good morning sleepy heads!” Audrey bursts into my room snapping me from a peaceful sleep. I blink, sitting up slowly and rubbing the sleep from my eyes. I look at Audrey, one red eyebrow hitched up high and a smirk on her face.And it suddenly clicks: I remember I am buck naked in bed with Dan.With Dan. Holy shit. I feel the heat rising into my cheeks. I gather the sheet up in a rush to cover my breasts, and Audrey burst out laughing, rousing Dan from his sleep. He sits up leisurely, taking in my rumpled hair, clutched sheet, and red blush. His gaze hover over me, eyes full of mischief before glancing over to our interloping friend, and grinning.“Trying to join us Drey?” He teases her.She retches, cupping her throat with her hands in mock choking. She winks at me then turns and walks from the room, shaking her bouncy red curls. Dan’s green eyes return to me, all joking gone, and a concern

The ride is agonizingly slow as we all sit in silence. My phone buzzes in my lap; the sound shrill in the quiet vehicle. I turn the screen from my thighs to find Audrey’s name blinking with a text. Sparing a side glance toward Dan, I find his eyes dutifully on the road, but I angle the phone away anyway, so he can't see.Audrey: So? What did you decide?Kat: You gave me tequila, I'm not sure I could not if I wanted to. Kat: which I totally do Kat: And he is incredibly sexyKat: Are you sure you're okay with this?Audrey: YES BABE! I want all the details in the morning!Audrey: On second thought, not sure I want to hear about Daniel in bed …. I chuckle, and Dan finally bre

I stumble my way back onto the dance floor where I left Audrey, Dan, and Mark to get a drink and cool off. I can't wrap my mind around what just happened. Who was that man? He looked like he was chiseled out of marble! Like a goddamn statue! I hope he couldn't tell how aroused I was just by standing so close to him. He smelled like musk and pine, like he'd been walking through the forest, and his cool breath smelled like bourbon. He had to have been at least six feet tall with a dark olive skin tone covered in tattoos just visible at the base of his neck. I can't help but wonder what it's of. His cropped brown hair was the color of melted dark chocolate, and looked just the perfect length to weave my finge

I study my reflection in the mirror: casual black suit pants and a white button-up, jacket hanging over my shoulder. It might be a little over the top for a downtown club, but this is for business after all. I slip on a gold watch that stands out in contrast against the black. I spritz on some light cologne and fix my cuffs. Nine o'clock. I should probably head out in a minute. I sigh at this bullshit of a test my father decided to give me, rubbing a hand down my face. I lock up and slip behind the wheel of my car. The club is about a fifteen-minute drive from my house, and I make the whole trip in silence contemplating what tonight might bring. I pull my car up to the curb outside of the new, hot club. Reluctantly, I turn off the ignition and step out, immediately hearing the club before I see it. I gently shut the doo

I pull into the parking lot of my apartment with heavy eyes, tired from staring at a computer screen. My fingers are cramped from writing notes, and there's a crick in my neck that should be absent on a Saturday. But I finished my work in record time and that is what's important. Now it's time to tackle whatever Audrey and Dan have cooking in our apartment right now. I trudge up the stairs to our third-floor apartment, shove my key in the lock, and step into the mayhem. "KATHERINE!" Audrey squeals the second I open the door. She jumps around, still in her pajamas. I glance over at Dan lounging on the couch. "Dan, did you let her finish off the entire bottle of champagne while I was gone?" I tease. "Oh, shush Kat, I am fine," she tells me then points to the st
