Bringing up her father was as good as throwing cold water in my face. my libido was put on hold as i took the file. i looked through the exceptionally detailed folder and then added the man to the fire pile. We continued to go through the files one by one and mostly agreed on who deserved a chance to stay but every once in a while we came to an impasse.

She would argue for some person to stay but she’d lose. Once I set my mind on something, it was difficult to change it.

She pulled forward another file and made her case for the man to stay employed. I looked through and decided to let him go. I tossed the file into the termination pile and she snatched it back out. “I really think you need to interview Henry. He’s a good man and does exceptional work. You don’t even know him, so you can give him the courtesy of at least speaking with him, before you end his employment,” she demanded.

    He was actually glad she was back on guard. It was too easy to forget who she was when she was being charming.They rode silently back to the office and the elevator was filled with tension as the numbers slowly crawled up to the top floor. He heard her actually let out a sigh of relief when the doors opened. She jumped out like the hounds of hell were after her. He enjoyed the sway of her hips as he followed her along the hallway to his office.The room was unusually warm and his mouth started watering when she slipped her jacket off, revealing a silky tank style blouse. It dipped in the front, to show a small amount of cleavage, increasing his desire to see more. It hugged her generous curves and showed her small waist off to perfection. Without the suit jacket on, he could see the curve of her hips, which the skirt enhanced. She’d grown curvier with age and now had a woman’s body, instead of the slim figure of a teenager.His mouth went dry, as he fought not to grab ahold of her an

    Finn's POV:I started stalking towards her. She seemed to realize her predicament, because she began to retreat fast. Her temper evaporated, as her eyes rounded. i must have looked a little more frightening than i thought but my cool had left and my anger was boiling over.She was the one who left me because i was poor. She was the one who thought she was still miss high and mighty. She kept trying to rub in my face i'd been replaced by her boyfriend. I couldn’t even think, he was so mad.I backed her up until her legs hit the table. She stood pressed up against the hard surface. There was no escape. Her breath quickened, making her breasts rise and fall faster against my chest. Her cheeks were flushed, her lips were swollen from her nervously chewing on them.Her eyes were still rounded in fear. If it had only been fear, I may have been able to pull out of my anger but I also saw some excitement in their depths. She still wanted me but she was fighting herself, as much as she was f

    Finn quickly took a step back, because smiling had been the wrong thing to do. She was furious. “Sorry about that Lilith but you can’t blame the whole thing on me, you didn’t say anything to stop me,” he said to her, with his normally cocky voice back in play.He was feeling anything but calm but there was no way he’d show that. If he thought one time was going to be enough to wash her from his system, he’d been very wrong. It would take being with her for a while before he was able to finally let her go. Just the thought of entering her tight heat again was raising his blood pressure, among other things.Lilith glared at him and then gathered up her clothing. She looked down at her torn panties with horror and then walked into his private bathroom and shut the door with a resounding click. She didn’t slam it in a fit of rage as so many women would’ve done. The click seemed to make much more of a statement. She didn’t reappear for a while. Finn was grateful for the time to gather hims

    Finn's POV:"No problem. How’s the corporate take-over world treating you?” Jael asked, as he handed me the glass.“I finally got my company,” I said with a genuine smile. I didn’t have to explain what that company was. jael had grown up with him. He’d been there when Lilith left me and he’d been there by my side as i plotted my revenge.Jael was from the same area i was and had been just as determined to get out. It had always been me, Jael and our other cousin Philip. Our fathers were all brothers so they shared the same last name. Philip parents had died in a horrible auto accident when he was ten years old and he’d moved in with Jael, next door to me. The three of us had been inseparable.We had all left at twenty years old and made successes of their lives. Though we stayed in touch, as much as our work would allow and sometimes I really hated the distance that divided us.“That’s beyond great Finn, how did it all happen?” Jael asked with genuine interest.“David was a very poor

    I felt myself relaxing. I managed to push his stress away and enjoy the conversation with my cousin. The day was turning out to be one of the best i'd had in too long to remember.I was sitting back, digesting my food and sipping on his beer, when my cousin interrupted my semi-comatose state.“Have you seen Lilith yet?” Jael asked. I started chocking on the sip of beer i’d just taken. Jael pounded my back, while I struggled to get his breath back. “I guess that’s a yes,” jael surmised.“She works for the corporation,” I finally managed to get out.“Whoa, how’s that working out? Have you fired her yet?” he asked. Jael knew I wanted revenge from the girl who’d broken my heart.“No, I haven’t fired her yet. I want her to regret her decision of throwing me out, before I toss her on her butt,” he said. The thought of tossing her out was less and less appealing to him. Jael raised his brows, as he studied me.“I see,” jael said, as he pasted a smile on his face.“What do you see?” I dem

    It really didn’t help that Jacob liked his hair cut a certain way now, which was almost the mirror image of Finn's hair-cut. Lilith shook off her thoughts and ruffled her son’s hair.They stepped outside and Jacob’s coach approached them. “How are you doing, Lilith?” he asked.“I’m good. And how are you?”“I’m doing great. Jacob forgot to grab one of these fliers. We have a tournament on Saturday starting at two,” he said, as he handed her a piece of paper.“That sounds like fun. Is there anything I can bring?”“I always know I can count on you,” he said with a laugh. “Would it be too much to ask you to bring a main course for lunch? I have some people bringing drinks and fruit but no one signed up for a main course. You can do sandwiches if you want but I know you like to get all fancy,” he said, with a flirty smile.She was well known for her creative dishes and that’s most likely why no one else had signed up for the spot.“You know me well,” she said with a laugh. “Of course, I wi

    Lilith's POV:I seriously would live off the coffees and nothing else, if i could get away with it. I had done that a couple different days and by the end, I was shaking all over but my house had gotten incredibly clean.“We have a couple more interviews to do today, with the last of the previous employee’s. I want you to go through the applications that have come in over the week and weed through them. Find the best candidates and schedule them for next week to come in for interviews. We need to get those positions filled as soon as possible,” Finn said, as he finally looked up.Unfortunately for me, when he looked up, i was busy staring at his body in inappropriate places. His brows rose and i couldn’t stop the deep flush that stained my cheeks. I turned away from him, praying he’d just pretend it hadn’t happened.I needed to get out of his office, because every time i looked at the table, I pictured myself sitting there with him between my thighs. I nodded my head and then prete

    Jacob was playing soccer with some other kids, leaving them alone together for the first time that day. Her whole body tensed at his words. She liked her home. She knew it was small but she’d been paying for it all on her own and she didn’t want to give it up.“I don’t want to sell my place,” she said, while crossing her arms and glaring at him.“You don’t have to sell it. You can rent it out if you want or just let it sit empty. I can hire a cleaning crew to come in once a week to make sure it doesn’t get moldy or damaged,” he offered.“Do I get a choice?” she snapped at him. She knew the place was too small and she knew they would be more comfortable with extra space but her world was being uprooted and she felt like she had no control over anything.“I’m not your enemy Lilith; I’m trying to do the right thing for my son. How does me wanting to watch him grow make me the enemy?” he asked her with exasperation.When he worded it like that she felt like the bad guy. It wasn’t fair he

    “You didn’t leave,” Jacob exclaimed, as he jumped from the bed and threw his arms around his father. Finn picked him up and sat down on her bed. Lilith scrambled up into a sitting position and pulled her legs up to her chest, hugging them tightly. Finn looked over at her with an expression that seemed to say, I told you there was no other answer. She knew he was right.“Where were you then?” Jacob asked, as he looked from his father to his mother.“I was sleeping in the other room, bud,” Finn said as if that would satisfy him.“But mom and dad’s sleep together. Maryanne says when her mom and dad stopped sleeping in the same bed they stopped being married and then her dad found a new person that Maryanne has to call mom even though she doesn’t like her. She says she has to have two houses and doesn’t get to be with her mom and dad together anymore,” he said in the longest speech she’d ever heard him give. Then his tears started to fall again as he thought about it.“Your mom and I aren

    Finn silently stood there in the room. She couldn’t look up at him, as she was fearful of the look in his eyes. His silence seemed to be the answer to her question. She knew he was going to fight her for Jacob. She had nine years of being his mother and had done the best possible job she could but he had the money for the best attorneys and if he took her to court he’d probably win.It didn’t help her case that Jacob was so needy of a father, he’d bonded with him instantly. The courts always interviewed the kids. They’d ask him if he wanted to be with his father or his mother and in her child’s innocence, he’d tell them he wanted to be with both his parents.They’d look at what each parent could provide and he’d win hands down. She’d fight him the entire way but she’d just be fighting the inevitable. She felt defeated and devastated.“I won’t take you to court Lilith but not because I give a damn what it would do to you. You don’t deserve my consideration. I won’t do it, because I won

    Lilith was the one who’d grown up the richest kid in town, while he’d been poor and worked for every dollar he made. Now the tables were turned and not only was he a billionaire but she was the one barely getting by. She didn’t mind that so much but with his new status, also came that arrogance and distance she didn’t like.They slowly climbed from his car and walked into the house. Jacob could barely keep his eyes open but he was fighting his exhaustion. She knew her son was afraid to go to sleep and then wake up to find his father gone.To take the man away from her son now would be cruel, since he had a taste of being with his father. She wished she could go back to the morning and have been able to resist his charms long enough to get him out of the house so she could think. She didn’t want her son to be hurt.“It’s time for bed baby, you can take your shower in the morning,” she said to her son, as she led him towards his room.“But I’m not tired, Mom,” he said, before a huge yaw

    Finn's POV:Chuck’s eyes widened at her touch and he moved a bit closer. He was a good looking guy. He was about the same height and weight as me, though not quite as muscled. I know a lot of the moms would had crushes on him and had been flirting with him, in hopes of a date but he had seemed fixated on Lilith for a while.“What are you doing later tonight?” he asked and she could see the wheels turning in his head. He was asking her out again, encouraged by her flirting. Damn, she really hadn’t thought about that. Before she could answer him, not knowing what she was going to say, I appeared and cut the conversation short.“Sorry Chuck we are going to be in the city tonight,” I said, as I wrapped an arm around her, letting Chuck and every other man in the room know she wasn’t available. Lilith didn’t get what I was doing, as we weren’t a couple and I had seen her watched me knowingly practically drooling in the other woman’s lap, not two seconds ago.Lilith's POV:“Oh, I was ju

    Lilith's POV:“Oh, Mom,” Jacob groaned. “Go faster,” he egged Finn on. Finn gave him a huge smile in the rearview mirror and then jumped on the freeway gunning the engine. We shot past cars like they were standing still. Jacob was full of laughter, as his hair blew back in the wind and they flew down the freeway.I would never admit it to either of the guys but I was getting a thrill out of the ride myself, after my initial fear fell away. He was a skilled driver and whipped around the lanes of traffic smoothly, making it seem like they were flying. We reached out exit and had to slow down. “We have to do this again,” Jacob shouted from the back seat. I silently agreed.“We’ll go on a long ride after the wrestling meet and then go have dinner,” Finn promised him. I didn’t appreciate how he was just assuming we didn’t already have plans. I would’ve said something but didn’t want to fight in front of my son.We pulled up to the school and Jacob grabbed ahold of Finns's hand. “Come o

    “You didn’t have to blurt that out to him. What if you’re not his father?” she said and then took a step back at the fury in his eyes.“Don’t even try and play games with me, Lilith. It’s more than obvious he’s mine and you have already robbed nine years of his life from me. You won’t take anything else, do I make myself clear?” he growled at her, as he backed her into the corner.She went from offensive to defensive in a matter of seconds. “I didn’t say he wasn’t yours, I just said you should have asked me first, instead of blurting it out like that,” she said, a bit shakily.“So you could come up with some more lies? I don’t think so, Lilith. Get yourself together. I’m going to spend the day with my son and I don’t want him to know I want to hurt his mother,” he snapped at her, before turning to leave.Finn walked out of the bedroom and had to fight the tears from stinging his eyes, as he saw his son sitting by the front door. His son was so afraid he’d leave him again, he was guard

    Finn's POV:I didn’t know which emotion to embrace first. I realized my son had asked me who I was and I also realized Lilith was sitting there like a deer caught in an oncoming car’s headlights.“I’m your dad,” I said. I heard Lilith's intake of breath and didn’t even bother to look over at her. I was too afraid I may give in to my urge to strangle her.i knew I wouldn’t really do that but I was pretty infuriated with her right then.“Really?” Jacob asked me skeptically. His face contorted into such a mirror image of my own I wanted to shout for joy. I was meeting my son. I wanted to jump from the bed and pull him into my arms but I was still completely naked underneath the protection of the bedding. I knew the only reason Lilith was still in the bed was for the same reason.“I really am,” I said, having to fight the emotions trying to break free.“If you’re my dad, then what did you say to my mom every night before you had to leave?” the boy asked and i knew i was being teste

    Lilith's POV:“I…I…d…don’t know why that keeps happening,” I sputtered to him, as my cheeks filled with color.“Because we have undeniable chemistry,” he said, with his trademark, cocky smile. He was feeling pretty good at that moment. it looks to me like he hadn’t planned on starting his day out ravishing me but he could think of far worse things he could’ve been doing.“I don’t sleep with strangers,” I blurted out.“We’re not strangers Jasmine, so don’t try that crap on me. You were a virgin the first time I took you and from the feel of your body, you haven’t taken too many more lovers,” he said, with far too much confidence. He was laying there in all his naked glory and my eyes strayed to his still half aroused body part. I quickly snapped my gaze back to his face and then my eyes narrowed as his grin became full-fledged.I reached out and slapped him hard once again before he had time to react. His smile was wiped away and he pounced on me before I could scramble away. The s
