Tally leaned back in her chair and stretched her arms into the air over her head, letting out a moan at the pull on her muscles. Before lowering her hands to rub her tired eyes. She had just finished the last letter Ryan had left for her to type up. He hadn’t needed it until tomorrow, and he had told her to go home at five. But she had still stayed back to make up for her very long lunch. Standing, she looked at Ryan, who was still working at his desk. It was late, looking at the clock on her computer. It was after 6:30pm. Tally shut down her system and collected her things. Getting up, she went to Ryan’s open door.

“I’m going home now. See you in the morning.” She said to him.

Ryan turned his head to regard her before he looked out his windows where it was still light. When he checked his watch. Seeing the time, he frowned. “I thought I told you to go home already.”

Tally shrugged. “It’s not dark and at least my in-tray is clear for tomorrow.”

Ryan sighed, throwing his pen down on the

    Tally let out a tired yawn as she stepped off the lift on their floor, her mind still clouded with the events of last night. The first person she saw was Holly. She had promised Holly that they would go shopping today, but it had completely slipped her mind amidst the sleepless night she had endured.Every little noise had jolted her awake, fearing that Blake might return. Though she knew he didn’t have keys to her townhouse, the possibility of him finding another way in, like through a broken window he could break, haunted her thoughts. Tally couldn’t determine if Blake would be that foolish, and uncertainty plagued her mind.She had two options: either move to a new place or invest in a security system. Both choices would come with a financial burden, not to mention the need to consult with her landlord before making any modifications to her current residence. Tally sighed, feeling overwhelmed by the weight of the decisions she needed to make.“Mornin’ Tally,” Holly greeted her cheer

    Tally rushed back after lunch with Holly. Stashing her shopping under her desk as she opened Ryan’s door and headed into his office. Looking around, she couldn’t see him. He must have been delayed by Marty. The gym was on the floor below them with the apartment.Ryan’s lunch was supposed to be delivered and placed in the fridge. She just needed to take it out and put it on his desk, so it would be ready for him when he returned. Tally removed the lunch from the fridge and placed it on his desk, along with cutlery. Then Tally went back to his kitchen nook and switched on his personal espresso machine, making sure to check the water level. Everything was prepared for Ryan to press a simple button upon his return.Tally was heading back out of the room when she walked into a granite wall. She lost her balance and would have fallen over had Ryan’s arm not gone around her waist, anchoring her to his front. She could feel the warmth of his hand through her thin blouse. It was only then she r

    Tally opened her eyes to light streaming in from the large window over the bed she was currently lying in. Her head hurt… She blinked, taking in her surroundings. This wasn’t her bedroom. It took her a moment to realize she was in the office apartment. Having been here to drop files off to Ryan when he had stayed or even to business associates of Ryan’s if they needed anything.Tally struggled to remember the events of the previous day. Her head throbbed, making it difficult to think clearly. She tried to recall how she ended up in the office apartment, but her memory was hazy.As she lay there, she became aware of the arm draped over her and the hand resting on her breast. Panic surged through her as she realized she had slept with someone, someone she couldn’t even remember. This was completely out of character for her. Blake had been her only sexual partner, and they had been in a committed relationship. “Please god, don’t let this be Blake.”Feeling the warm naked body behind her s

    Tally headed straight to the bar, requesting another cocktail. She wasn’t typically a heavy drinker, but tonight she was ready to let loose and have some fun. Driving home was not an option for her as she had taken the bus to the party and planned to take a cab home.As she stood at the bar, Tally was pleasantly surprised to see Ethan, a colleague from the marketing department, standing beside her. “Hey Tally, you’re looking amazing,” Ethan complimented her. Tally flashed him a smile, genuinely appreciating the kind words. “Thanks, Ethan! You’re not too bad yourself,” she playfully nudged him.Others may think she was flirting with Ethan. However, what most people didn’t know about Ethan was that he was gay. Tally had known this since their college days, even though they were enrolled in different courses. Despite that, they had managed to forge a friendship and now found themselves working for the same company, under Ryan’s leadership.Suddenly, a wave of guilt washed over Tally as sh

    Tally glanced around the ballroom, feeling the weight of countless eyes upon them. Ryan hadn’t brought a date, and she had recently ended things with Blake.Tally couldn’t help but worry. “Well, I should probably let you socialize, Ryan,” she said, preparing to leave.However, Ryan gently placed his hand on her waist, keeping her by his side. “Why do you care about what others think?” he asked, noticing the same judgmental looks she did. “We’re just standing here talking. We’re not doing anything scandalous. If people have nothing better to do than gossip, let them.”Tally gave him a meaningful glance. “Ryan, as the CEO of Hawkins Corp, everything you do is under scrutiny. But even if you were to run through here naked, you would still be the CEO. Unfortunately, I don’t have the luxury of behaving freely like you do.”Ryan raised an eyebrow, his grip on Tally’s waist tightening slightly. “You think I have the luxury of behaving freely?” he asked, his voice laced with a hint of frustrat

    How could she be so stupid? Yes, she had fantasized about him. But she needed her job. How could she go on working for him after this?Tally’s mind raced as she tried to process the situation. She had never intended for things to escalate like this with Ryan.She wasn’t just stupid; she was careless, and now it seemed like everything was about to fall apart. Tally desperately searched for a way to salvage the situation. She still couldn’t remember what they had done. When she realized who she was sharing a bed with, her mind had just shut down.She couldn’t even hope that they had just shared a bed and nothing had happened. They were both naked and the smell of sex lingered in the air. Tally silently groaned, putting her face into the pillow. The worst thing about figuring out who was in the bed with her had sent her body into overdrive and she could feel her body pulse with the need for him. She had never been this excited to have Blake in bed with her.Should she just leave? Tally di

    Ryan couldn’t help but admire Tally’s peaceful slumber, her naked body still uncovered by the sheets. The evidence of their passionate encounter still lingered in the air. The rosy hue on her flawless breasts reminding him of how she tasted. He knew she must be exhausted, considering he had taken her four times already. It was no surprise she would be tired and sore.Once she woke, Ryan planned to help soothe her overused muscles by getting her into a relaxing bath. The way she had reacted to him the night before and that morning made him believe that her previous lover, Blake, had been lacking in the bedroom department. Perhaps he was one of those men who sought something different from their wives, using it as an excuse to cheat. It was unexpected to discover that someone as prim and proper as Tally could be a wildcat in bed. But as the saying goes, it’s always the quiet ones.Chuckling to himself, Ryan admitted Tally was far from silent, especially when she was angry, which seemed t

    “Wife.” What the hell did he mean by that? The Ryan she knew didn’t do ‘commitment’. She couldn’t have agreed to be his wife last night, surely. Tally didn’t want to let him know she didn’t remember last night.Until she remembered, she would keep that little titbit to herself. She wished she hadn’t drunk so much last night so it wasn’t a blur.After figuring out it was him in bed with her, she had been thrown one curve ball or another. First the amazing sex which had put her back to sleep and then the comment about being his wife. She needed to get away from him so she could think and then hopefully remember.Scrambling out of the bed so he didn’t come back and find her there. Tally found a robe in the wardrobe, throwing it around herself as she moved to join him in the bathroom.He had his hand in the bath water, checking the temperature. “Perfect.”He moved to stand in front of her, reaching down to untie her robe. Tally put her hands over his. “I can do it.”He smiled down at her a

    Tally looked up from the textbook she was reading when Ryan came through the front door.“Hello lover.” Tally knew the time was just after 1pm. She had only just eaten lunch, so it was early for Ryan to be home.Ryan stopped, raised an eyebrow in her direction. “Lover?”“Well, yes, are you hoping to get lucky before my husband gets home? You could be in luck.” Tally grinned at him, looking down at her bare wrist as if she was checking the time. “He doesn’t normally get home for hours.” This reminded her of teasing him at the office after they had had made love in an underground parking lot on the way to work.Ryan smirked, his eyes filled with a mischievous glint. “Well, if luck is on my side, then who am I to resist?” he replied, inching closer to Tally. Their playful banter had always added an exciting element to their relationship.As Tally playfully tapped her chin, pretending to consider the proposition. “Hmm, I’m not sure I should. My husband is so good in bed and well… out of it

    Tally nodded, her heart swelling with love for this man who loved her just how she was. Never wanting to change her. He had fallen in love with her twice. She couldn’t imagine her life without him and the baby they were eagerly expecting. “I’m so grateful that everything is OK,” she said.Ryan’s eyes locked with hers, his gaze filled with an intensity that made her breath catch. “I love you, Tally. I can’t imagine a world where we’re not together. We have so much to look forward to, and I promise to protect you and our baby with everything I have,” he vowed, his voice filled with emotion.Tears streamed down Tally’s cheeks as she reached for Ryan’s hand, squeezing it tightly. “I love you too. I really didn’t know what I had until you lost your memory. It was like my world had ended.” She whispered.Ryan climbed onto the bed beside Tally, careful to not jostle her at all. Ryan laid down, pulling her back in his arms as they both settled into a warm embrace. The rhythmic beeping of the h

    Tally, Ethan, and Holly left the building at noon to go grab some lunch later that day. Ryan was having a workout with Marty during lunch.When she told him she was leaving, Tally promised to bring something back for him. Tally was finding it hard to work with her husband, often wanting to strip his clothes off at work and beg him to take her. But they had made a deal. The workplace was not the ideal location.“Damn hormones.” Tally said under her breath.“What.” Holly asked.Tally shook her head. “I’ll tell you after we order.”They looked over the menu before placing their orders. Once the server left. Tally said to her friends. “My hormones are all over the place with this pregnancy. Sometimes I want to shout at Ryan and call him an asshole for no reason or a want to rip his clothes off at the office.” Tally felt safe telling her friends how she was feeling. They had never gossiped behind her back.Holly grinned while Ethan laughed, saying. “Oh, honey, I can see the attraction. If h

    “Beautiful,” he whispered, his voice filled with ore. Before he leaned in with his tongue, flicking out to taste her. Tally’s entire body jerked in response, her nails digging into the mattress as she struggled to stay still.Ryan’s tongue explored her folds, mapping out every sensitive spot with meticulous care. He teased her clit with gentle flicks, earning a choked cry from Tally. Her hips writhed beneath him, her breathing growing ragged as he continued his relentless assault.“Ryan,” she panted, her voice strained with desperation. “Please, I need...” Tally felt all her nerve ending zero in on every little movement Ryan made.Ryan lifted his head, a predatory smile curling his lips. “You need what, Tally?” he asked, his voice dripping with wickedness.“I need you,” she admitted, her cheeks flushing with excitement. “I need to feel you, Ryan. Please.” Ryan stripped the teddy from her body quickly.Ryan’s eyes darkened with desire, his cock twitching as he positioned himself at her

  • Accidentally In His Bed   Chapter Sixty-Nine

    Three weeks later Tally and Ryan, with their entourage, burst into the boardroom of Benson Developments, their presence commanding immediate attention. The room fell silent as every eye turned to them. Tally’s face was a blank mask. She was wearing a scarlet red skirt suit, which contrasts with the cold, sterile room. Ryan stood beside her, his tailored suit exuding authority, his jaw set in determination.Barry Benson, the current CEO, looked up from his seat at the head of the table, his face paling at the sight of them. John, who sat to her father’s right side, narrowed his eyes, clearly sensing the impending storm.“Barry,” Ryan begins, his voice cutting through the silence like a knife, “you’re fired.”Barry’s mouth opens and closes, but no sound comes out. His hands grip the edge of the table, knuckles turning white as he struggles to process the words. Beside him, John leaps to his feet, his face twisted in outrage.“You can’t do this!” John shouts, pointing an accusing finger a

    During that week, they had invited a select few to come to their home on the weekend. Ryan’s parents, Paul and Brenda, were among those included in the guest list. They were overjoyed to see Tally and showered her with hugs and kisses upon their arrival. They were relieved that Ryan had regained his memories.Brenda also shared with Tally that Ashley’s parents were not handling their daughter’s actions well. It was apparent to everyone that they found it distasteful. As a result, Ashley was no longer welcome in their circle. Holly and Ethan were the next to arrive, closely followed by April.When Tally invited April, she gave her the heads-up that Noah had also been invited. Tally assured April that she would understand if she didn’t want to come because her husband would be there, but she secretly hoped that she would. April had devoted the last five years of her life to take care of her ailing father, leaving little time for herself.Noah was the last to arrive, and Tally wasn’t sure

    “I heard enough,” Ryan replied with a smirk. “But Tally, your money isn’t important to me. I love you for who you are, not for your wealth. Give it to charity or save it for our children. I have enough for the both of us.” He eyed her for a moment before adding. “I know you have your reasons for wanting to buy your father’s company. Just promise me that you won’t let it consume you. Revenge can be a dangerous game.” Tally sighed and walked over to her husband, wrapping her arms around him, leaning back to look at his face. “I promise, Ryan. This is not about revenge for me. Well, maybe a little, but mostly it’s about protecting the people who work there, and making sure my father can’t continue to hurt anyone else. Money is just a means to an end. The money has sat there all this time. I only live on my wages paid by you, and now my inheritance is going to do some good.” Ryan nodded, understanding the determination in her eyes. As his arms circled her waist. “One thing I don’t unders

    Ryan and Tally sat side by side at the breakfast table. Ryan sipped his coffee, which she was still missing. “You have coffee envy.” He grinned at her. “Oh, shut up.” Tally said in a huffy tone, as she drank her decaf tea. Ryan placed his free hand over her belly. “It’s for a good cause. You are growing our baby.” His phone beeped to let him know he had a message. Taking his hand from her stomach, he picked up his phone. “It’s from Noah. He sent me the link for the media release about Ashley and Blake.” He let her know. As they read the explosive media story that had broken overnight. The article was damning, detailing Ashley’s lies and deceit, and Blake’s infidelity in intricate detail. Ryan’s eyes scanned the text rapidly. Tally, on the other hand, took her time, letting the words sink in, feeling a strange mix of vindication and sorrow for those who would inevitably be hurt by the truth. Ryan handed her the phone so she could read it at her own pace. When he saw the look on her

    Ryan took a few more minutes, his mind racing as the memories fully settled in. The realization of Tally’s pregnancy hit him like a brick wall, filling him with a mixture of joy and protective instinct. He finally moved the car back into traffic, gripping the steering wheel tightly as he navigated through the evening rush hour. Ryan relived the car accident that had caused him to lose his memory of his wife. Remembering that she was pregnant helped him understand why he might have erased her from his memory. Of course, this was just his own speculation, since he wasn’t a psychologist. Nonetheless, knowing that she was pregnant and unable to prevent the accident, he blamed himself for the collision. So, his subconscious mind had effectively removed the problem. Ryan thought that perhaps the recent near miss with another car, and his instinct to protect her by putting his arm across her body to save her, had triggered his memories to resurface. Now that he had his memories back, Ryan
