I wondered whether it was a mistake taking her to the local bar. I’d had such a fucking long day and the woman knew her shit. That had made me even more curious about her. There wasn’t a thing that I asked her to do or was about to ask her to do that she hadn’t already thought about. It made me realize that she was way above the girls that had been working for me up until then. Don’t get me wrong, once I told them what to do, they were always happy to run with it. But there was no thinking outside the box. Not like Olivia did, and she had only been working for me for one day. I felt like a teenager with a big crush on someone’s mom. Even though we were around the same age, or maybe she was slightly younger than me, I couldn’t help but be happy that she didn’t whine and bitch about working so many hours on her first day. She’d had an early start, but that didn’t stop her from working at the same rhythm that she’d been doing from the moment that she came into the office.“Tell me somet
I didn’t know what had happened at the bar, but I couldn’t stop touching my lips. It was such a powerful kiss; I’d half-expected him to lift me up and fuck me in the bar. I started giggling like a schoolgirl as I grabbed my purse and headed out of the bar. What was he thinking? What was I thinking?He was getting married to Scarlett and he was kissing me in public. I shook my head at the idea of it. It was only a kiss… Damn, this guy just knew what he wanted, and he didn’t mind taking it. I’d been too stunned to step away or protest, but as the kiss went on, I knew I needed to tell him to stop, but I didn’t get the chance as he ran out of the door. I wasn’t the kind of woman that he could mistake for one of the girls in the office. Yet I had a feeling that he wasn’t thinking of me that way at all. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have left me at the bar wanting more. I wondered if that was the reason he didn’t even offer to take me home. Then again, it was a good thing, because I would have
Alec wanted us to catch up the following morning, but I wasn’t really in the mood, especially after such a rough night. I thought that having a cold shower would take the edge of the desperate need to be in between Olivia’s legs, but it didn’t. If anything, it made it even harder to get her off my mind because I knew why I was freezing in the shower. couldn’t get her off my mind and I’d only met her yesterday. This wasn’t a fucking temptation issue; this was deeper one which was making me feel even worse. She wasn’t the type that you wanted to bang and then feel as if you’ve made your conquest and could move on. This was deeper than that. I’d even thought up a number of reasons why I thought this was deeper than making another conquest. Number one: Olivia wasn’t the type that you just fucked and forgot about.Number two: I wanted to know her mind, find out how much she knew and challenge her intelligence.Number three: I wanted to see her body, in the light. Not fuck her from behin
This was a fucking joke. I was following Alec’s instructions exactly and staying away from Olivia. I couldn’t have her in my office, not alone. He gave me some tips before leaving me alone with her and heading back to his office. I was a mess, acting like some lovesick teenager that was unclear what to do and how to follow the rules. That wasn’t entirely wrong. So, I did some crazy shit. I told Olivia to stay at her desk and I would dictate to her. I wanted to get up and get her to come in and bend over the fucking desk, because as I was talking, I realized that it wasn’t Scarlett’s face that I was seeing but hers. She deserved more than that, some dirty thoughts, and I had to keep my head in business mode, or I would have to get rid of her. There was no two ways around it. Just a few days and if the deal comes through, she can work from home!That was Alec’s last text to me, and I pondered on it as I thought about her spending time away from me and I knew that it was the best opti
I didn’t understand what was happening, but I knew that I wanted it badly in that moment. I was completely out of control when it came to Ross. He had triggered something in me that I’d thought was completely dead. I tried to reach for him, but he had both my hands locked in his. Then he let go of one and gently squeezed my breast. I gasped into his mouth which only made him chuckle softly. Then that hand moved to my ass in a slow glide that held my attention until he moved to the curve of my hips. Was he going to go down further again? I needed him to, I thought as our eyes locked, mouths together but not actually touching.Then he kissed me, and I forgot to think. He didn’t kiss me the same way that he did the bar. If anything, this was just a promise of what he could do to me. He was exploring my body and his fingers felt as if they were everywhere at once and my body burned in reaction to his touch. I don’t know how long we were standing there. I was conflicted. I hadn’t been t
Thank goodness my bathroom was in my office; I quickly went in there to dispose of the condom which I couldn’t believe was nearly full to the brim. It was as if all that sexual tension from the night before came out as I fucked her on my desk. We went in there one at a time to freshen up and now we were ready to leave my office. Pretending that we were colleagues and that nothing had happened earlier. We’d failed and it was evident as my employees who were once still, started moving again as soon as we came out of my private office. It was a good job none of them were actors, they weren’t good at pretending let alone acting as if they heard nothing. Everyone near my fucking office could hear us, because as soon as we both came out of there, someone whispered loudly, I couldn’t tell who, “Anyone coming?” And we could hear fits of laughter. We laughed at ourselves as we exchanged glances trying to hide our embarrassment and failing miserably. Everything I promised myself I wouldn’t
Everyone was drinking excessively and taking advantage of my generosity. Alec had to leave early, but I found that as soon as he left, I didn't have much to say to anyone else. The whole point of taking the department out, wasn’t so that they could talk about work. If I wanted to do that, then I would have put a bottle of wine in the kitchen and offered for everyone to have a glass. If anything, it just proved to me that I wasn’t the only boring one in the office. All they talked about were people in the office who had left in the past or clients.Boring!Then again, someone did start talking about Scarlett and that was when I knew that it was my cue to leave. I wasn’t interested as I ditched them at the bar and walked up to Olivia, whispering, “Let’s get the fuck out of here.”She didn’t need asking twice as she slid off the bar stool and took my hand. I was done pretending. I wanted her; not just once, but for the rest of the night. I didn’t care if others noticed and saw us. Most o
Since leaving the bar on Friday, I hadn’t let her out of my sight. She insisted on going back to her place the following day and we ended up back in my bed. She wanted to get some clothes from home, but she didn’t need clothes all weekend. As soon as she put her dress back on, then I would take it right back off again. We’d showered, eaten, bathed, talked, and fucked. I was exhausted and I still couldn’t get enough of her company.Last night I dropped her off at home and she was giving me a little tour and then once I saw her bed and smelled her scent on her pillows, I had to have her once again.I woke her up. “Olivia. Olivia.”She was in a daze. Damn, the woman could sleep. “You’re not going to believe this.”“What is it Ross?”“The deal’s gone through.”“You mean?”“Yes, we fucking did it.”She laughed as she pushed her hair out of her eyes. I gently moved it aside and kissed her. “Shhh, Mom and Aunt Veronica will hear you. Besides, you need to get home, so you can be ready for
I have around one week to go until our baby is due and I’m back home with Mom and Aunt Veronica, because they didn’t want to live in the penthouse with us. Mom still has a thing about being at home. I get that, she doesn’t want to give it up, it’s the last place that she was with Dad and she still holds memories of them being together. She’s not the only one, if I’m honest. I do miss him all the time. Ross bought and built the crib in my old bedroom. He complained at first about us not being at home, but then he found himself spending more time here than in the penthouse.“We have a nanny on hand to help with things,” he complained once, but it was falling on deaf ears. I wasn’t about to have a baby and hand him over. No, I wanted to be there for every special moment. Besides, I’d put my career on hold for so long, that I didn’t feel like returning to it, even if I could. I couldn’t believe how much things had changed in such a short space of time. Well, not exactly a short space of
Olivia and I had been seeing each other for a couple of months. Yet, I still couldn’t fucking believe that I was going along with what we were doing that night. I was simultaneously trying to keep a straight face and put a smile on it. But it was so fucking hard, especially with Olivia smiling at me every minute. “Ross, if you don’t want to go in, then we can just go home.”I patted her hand, thinking about us having sex anywhere and everywhere and now we were going to talk about it with a bunch of strangers. I should have fucking backed out. That’s what Alec used to do with his wife. Speak off the devil. “Shit, can’t believe you came,” he laughed as he patted me on the back. “Olivia, you’re a good woman.” She winked back at him. I wished there was less of this secret language between the two of them and more talking. Erika took Olivia’s hand and they entered the building. The one that I really didn’t want to go into. “Why should I suffer alone?” Alec said as he opened the door f
Erika and I hit it off after that night in the restaurant. So much so, that we’d agreed to meet up for coffee the following week. I could see that Alec and Erika were very much in love, even if they did have five kids. I admired them for that. I didn’t have any friends. I explained to them that once Mom got sick they all disappeared. They didn’t want to be friends with someone who talked about nothing but their mom’s dementia all day long and didn’t want to go out, not even for coffee. It meant I had to leave her alone, and I was afraid to do that. As for inviting friends over, that wasn’t an option. I was afraid that Mom would turn on them and be afraid that there were people in her house ready to kill her. It’d happened a couple of times and I decided that it was selfish of me to want friends to come and visit. So, I stopped and slowly but surely, they stopped keeping in contact.There was one thing that Ross wasn’t getting and that was another pretty young secretary. He’d given me
Over the last couple of weeks, spending time with Aunt Veronica on a Friday night and Olivia nearly every night had made everything that was complicated in my life, plain sailing. I didn’t feel frustrated when I wasn’t with Olivia. Instead, I’d taken up trying to figure out what to do when the takeover took place. I would be working thirty hours per week, something that I hadn’t done since college. Even then I didn’t think that I studied that much. I seemed to have a natural gift for figures. I suppose it runs in the family. Dad used to work with hedge funders and so do a couple of my uncles. We all work in finance, and the women in my family seemed to love the law. A perfect combination. It was Thursday night and we were due to meet both Alec and his wife, Erika, to go out for dinner. We were going on a double-date, something that I’d done so infrequently that I could count on one hand how many times I’d actually done it. The last couple of times that I did do it, it was because E
