Getting Lucky A Free Man
KADENHangovers sucked. If someone could invent a genuine cure for the things, I would invest every penny I had into that business. It would be totally worth it, especially if that someone could have just appeared in my bedroom this morning with a vial of the miracle cure. Rolling over in my bed, I groaned as a stab of pain shot through my head. Shit. It felt like someone had stuck a knife into my temple and twisted.There was a thudding sound coming from somewhere, though I couldn’t tell if it was inside my head or an actual sound. My mouth tasted like a large animal had emptied its bowels into it, and without moving much, I could tell my body was shaky.The thudding sound grew louder. More insistent. Slowly, I realized it was someone knocking on my door. I risked cracking my eyes open, only to flinch at the brightness of my room.My blackout curtains were open, allowing the sun to shine mercilessly into my bedroom. The evil rays were creeping up my bed already, telling me it was we
Getting Lucky One For You
KadenSauntering over, I gripped the glass and chugged the juice in one go before answering her. “Because working for you is out of the question. It’s nothing personal against you. It’s the principle of the thing.”She planted her hand on her left hip, tilting her head and frowning before heaping bacon onto a plate and cracking two eggs into a pan. “You don’t have to work for me, then. You can come back and just show me how to do the job.”I hungrily eyed the eggs and added a couple of pieces of toast to the bacon-filled plate, buttering them as I watched the egg whites starting to bubble. “No offense, but why would I do that?”“To help me out,” she said. She gave the eggs a few prods with a spatula before dishing them up. “I’ve thought about it, and there’s no way I can do this without you showing me the ropes. I spoke to some people late yesterday afternoon, and the company will keep paying you while you complete the handover properly.”She handed me my plate and stared, waiting for
Getting Lucky Commanding Me
EMBER“Fuck, Ember.” Kaden released a staggered breath, his voice harsh and needy. “Stop.”The way his hips were rocking told me it was the last thing he wanted. I could already feel him getting even harder, thicker in my mouth. He was close, and yet he was telling me to stop.I ignored him, too desperate to taste his release as my own need rolled and knotted deep inside me. Between my thighs, I was slick and pulsing for him.His grip tightened in my hair, and he let out another animalistic, primal growl that made my insides clench before yanking my head off him. “Get on top of me, now.”The low command made my clit throb harder than his head must have been when I arrived. The skin on my scalp stung from the rough way he tugged me off him, but I didn’t mind. It wasn’t painful exactly, just enough to let me know how desperate and impatient he was feeling.A tingle ran down my spine. I loved knowing I could affect him this way, turn his cocky, controlled swagger into a trembling, growli
Getting Lucky Close to the Edge
EmberAs soon as I was bared to him, he released a heavy breath, his eyes burning as he sat back on the couch. He looked like a sculpted god sitting there, his long, thick cock curving almost elegantly toward his naval and not quite covering the smattering of hair between the two body parts.His blond hair was mussed from sleep and from my hands running through it, and his blue eyes were alight with need and desire. “I like seeing the way you’ve been touching yourself today. Touch yourself for me. I want you to make yourself moan.”“I thought we weren’t listening to each other today.” I tried sounding nonchalant, but I couldn’t quite get there. My heart rate spiked, and my breathing became labored. I liked the idea of watching him as I put on a show for him.“I listened when you told me not to put my hands on you right now, didn’t I?” His eyes raked over my body, filled with so much need that the urge to banter with him disappeared completely.His tone was so low and so commanding tha
Getting Lucky For Her
KADENMy fingers tightened around the black leather steering wheel I was holding. When I agreed to come in today while Ember was naked beside me, Monday seemed so far off. All I wanted was to give her everything she wanted in that moment.It didn’t seem like a big deal to me then. I wouldn’t be going back to Marx Inc. for my dad or even for myself, but for her. Because she needed me to help. I was finding that whenever Ember needed me, I wanted to be there. Whatever she needed me for, I wanted to do.That was especially true when it came to her needs in the bedroom, the kitchen, the office, or the living room, but despite what I told myself, I knew my need to satisfy her didn’t end with sex. So, I’d done something I wouldn’t have imagined myself doing in a million years. I agreed to come back to Marx Inc. to train her to take over my job.Sitting in the rapidly filling parking lot in a spot that used to be mine but already didn’t have my name on the wall anymore, I was starting to que
Getting Lucky The Rabbit Hole
KadenEmber paused as we entered the office, her eyes drinking in the space like she’d never seen it before. “Where’s all your stuff?”“I had it moved out over the weekend.” All that remained were the flat screens against my walls, the filing cabinet making up two entire walls, and the coffee machine I loved, but wanted her to have. “You like?”She nodded, stepping forward tentatively. “This is so weird. I bet this was how Alice felt when she fell down the rabbit hole.”“Except this is no tea party,” I informed her lightly, but there were shadows at the edge of my tone I knew she caught.Turning to look at me over her shoulders she walked over to the mammoth desk someone had installed after mine had been removed. It was made of glass and steel, and I couldn’t help lamenting over the fact that it meant we probably weren’t going to be fucking on her desk anytime soon on one of the long nights we were sure to spend in here together.My eyes darted down toward the floor, the window sill,
Getting Lucky Time to Go
EMBER“You’re really starting to get the hang of this.” Kaden grinned at me on Wednesday night. The sun was long gone, and so were most of our co-workers. Well, my co-workers and Kaden’s former co-workers. The thought was still almost impossible for me to wrap my head around. I’m the CFO of Marx Inc. A fortune 250 company. In New York City. It still stunned me when I thought about it. At the ripe old age of twenty-three, I held one of the most coveted positions in the finance industry in the city.Pinching myself daily, I kept wondering when the dream was going to end and I was going to wake up on my own in my loft. Most things that had happened to me since arriving here from Cambridge felt like they had been too good to be true.Our loft was chic and stunning. I still couldn’t believe we were able to afford it. My best friend was working with me, my brother had agreed to make more time for me, and the guy who was my first crush was sharing my bed. Or rather, I was sharing his. He ha
Getting Lucky Getting to Know Him
EmberI did as he asked, and he talked me through what felt like our ninetieth client for the day. Logically, I knew it hadn’t been quite so many, but it sure felt like it. I scribbled notes in a spiral notebook while Kaden talked, my hand flying across the pages to keep up.The food arrived when we were about halfway through looking over an agreement Kaden had been busy drafting for Mrs. Newton. He got up to get it, but I beat him to my wallet and paid the delivery guy.Kaden sighed, narrowing his eyes before he shrugged. “Fine, but the next dinner is on me.”“You’re eating dinner here because of me. It’s the least I can do.” I didn’t want him feeling like he had to pay to be here to train me. “Consider it a business expense.”He scoffed but nodded approvingly. “You really are learning fast.”“It’s because I have an excellent trainer.” The compliment was out of my mouth before I could stop it.Kaden’s brow arched, his head tilted, and his lips kicked up into a grin. “Excellent, huh?”

Getting Lucky Gender Reveal
KadenAs an adult, I’d always been too busy to spend too much time on hypotheticals like if I wanted to settle down and have a family someday. I used protection religiously to avoid conceiving a child with a woman I didn’t really know in my younger days, and after that, I kind of gave up on ever finding a woman I could imagine myself spending the rest of my life and having kids with.Until Ember.Everything I used to want, worry about, think, or believe changed the day she walked back into my life. She still teased me some about my previous life of being a jerk as a kid or a player, but I could hardly remember what that was like either. Just like with my apartment, those were vague memories I didn’t care to recall.All my life, I’d heard people say you couldn’t change. I was living proof those people were wrong. To be fair, I’d started making changes before I even met Ember, but the guy I used to be wouldn’t have taken the whole day off work to go to the doctor and then to stock up on
Getting Lucky Ultrasound
KADEN“Everything is looking good so far,” Doctor Kruger told us, holding the ultrasound wand still on Ember’s growing stomach. She was really starting to show now and thought she looked more and more like a whale every day. I couldn’t disagree with her more. “The baby is growing well, and everything looks the way it should at around twenty-four weeks.”Doctor Kruger was the gynecologist Ember chose. She came highly recommended by the girls at the office. She looked a little bit like Gollum from Lord of the Rings, with hair so thin you could see most of her scalp, but there was a whole wall of awards in her office speaking to her ability.Ember smiled up at her, squeezing my hand tightly. Her eyes were glued to the screen beside her though, as were mine. It was hard to believe the black and white smudges we saw was an actual baby growing in Ember, but now and then, we could make out a hand or a foot or something that drove the point home.The doctor moved the wand higher, squeezing ou
Getting Lucky A Dozen
Ember“Have you felt it move yet?” Kaden asked, dragging his chair around to my side of the table so he would be next to me instead of across from me. “And should we be eating Mexican? Isn’t it too spicy?”“I ordered it mild,” I reminded him. “But I don’t think eating Mexican is a problem. Sushi is probably a no-no for me until the baby comes, though.”He nodded, and I could practically see him adding the information to some kind of mental checklist. “So, you didn’t tell me if you’d felt it move yet.”“Not yet,” I said honestly. “I would have told you immediately if I had.”That much was true. Despite my misgivings about his reaction, I wouldn’t have kept him from anything involving his child. Something as major as feeling it move for the first time especially.“When do you think you’ll feel it?” he asked, cocking his head and shifting back on his chair to make space for him to get his phone out of his pocket.I lifted my shoulders, shaking my head. “No idea, but it will probably be s
Getting Lucky Four Months
EMBERFor four weeks, I had been waiting to find the right time to talk to Kaden about this. There just never seemed to be enough time. Though we were practically living together and had adjoining offices now, we were also busy and running around for work.My heart hammered against my ribcage so hard it was almost painful as I leaned forward, forcing myself to look into Kaden’s eyes. I had no idea how he was going to take this news. We had so much on our plates as it was, and we’d never even come close to talking about anything like this.Every word I knew suddenly disappeared from my brain as I looked into his gorgeous eyes, questions darkening them while he waited for me to tell him what I’d been waiting for the right time to talk to him about.Grasping for words, any words at this point, I ended up just blurting it out. “I’m four months pregnant.”Kaden paled, his eyes going huge. His jaw loosened, and his throat worked. Oh crap.This was exactly the reaction I’d been afraid of. Me
Getting Lucky Home
KadenA faint line appeared between Carol’s eyebrows before she schooled her expression, shaking my free hand again. “We’ll be in touch soon, I assume? If you could email the paperwork to my assistant, the same one who set up this meeting, I’ll have the lawyers look it over and send it right back.”“It will be in your inbox before the end of the day tomorrow,” Ember promised. If I knew her, she was already planning on firing off a text to Scotty as soon as we were out of Carol’s sight.Ember and I were sharing Scotty as our main assistant now. We each had a second assistant working under Scotty, but he was our go-to guy and the one who organized our respective second assistants. It was a system that was working really well for us.Once we were settled in my car, I glanced at her before putting my hand on her headrest and backing out of the parking space. “Did you ask Scotty to send her the documents yet?”She smiled, holding up her phone to show me the text she was typing. “Just about
Getting Lucky How Far Along?
KADEN“If you consider we only started putting this together for you last week, I think you’ll appreciate the growth you would already have seen if we’d started making these moves only a few days ago.” I was speaking to our new potential client, an older woman with her dyed black hair pulled back in a severe bun.She was the CEO of a hotel group that was starting to pop up everywhere. The company was only a few years old, but they were expanding at an impressive rate, and Ember and I both really wanted to sign her.“We can do great things together, Carol,” Ember added, clicking a button on the remote in her hand to move onto the next slide we had prepared for her. “Both our companies have shown exponential growth over the last six months, and together, I think we can keep that trajectory going.”I could feel Ember’s excitement coming off her in waves from where she was sitting next to me at a mahogany conference table at one of Carol’s group’s hotels. The group had two new boutique ho
Getting Lucky Together Again
EMBERWhen Kaden’s lips crashed into mine, it was with such passion and fervor that a fresh wave of tears welled up behind my eyes. Different tears this time, happy tears. I couldn’t believe he was here, that he was in my arms and kissing me the way he was.An hour ago, I was convinced our relationship was toast. When I didn’t hear from Ryan, I thought the worst. I thought Kaden was so mad at me, he’d convinced Ryan he was right, and I was wrong. I thought Ryan wasn’t going to speak to me ever again either.I thought so many things, all of which were apparently wrong. It was hard to have faith in people when you felt as guilty and as badly as I did, though. In my defense, those weren’t feelings I had much experience with, and now that I’d felt them in their fullest glory, I had no intention of ever finding myself in a position like that ever again.From now on, I was going back to honesty. I still regretted the way I handled things with Mr. Marx, but I’d also learned from it. With Kad
Getting Lucky Big Brother Talk
KadenShit. I even made her promise to stop avoiding me. I shoved her even deeper into the impossible corner she was already in. I made her look me in the eyes and sleep in my bed, even when she couldn’t do it, and now I was pissed at her for doing exactly that?I groaned out loud, bringing my forehead to my desk.As if Ryan could tell what I was thinking, he said, “She loves you, Kaden. She loves you more than anything in the world. You’re everything to her. Trust me when I tell you she never meant to hurt you. She was stuck in purgatory about this for weeks.”Lifting my head only enough to catch a glimpse of his eyes, I frowned. “Is this a big brother talk? Because I don’t think I can stomach one of those right now.”I really couldn’t bear to hear him tell me how much she loved me after the way I acted. Sure, I was shocked, and she shouldn’t have done what she did, but I honestly didn’t know what else I could have expected her to do under the circumstances.Even if she did, would sh
Getting Lucky You Don't Listen
KADENMy head was spinning. I felt nauseous, my stomach twisting and turning as I tried to focus on the screen in front of me. I was trying to get everything with Ember out of my head and get some work done, but it was proving to be harder than I thought it would be.Despite everything, I still didn’t want to let my dad down. Sure, he told my girl he was dying and not me, but—“Fuck,” I muttered, dragging my hands through my hair. Again. I shuddered to think what I looked like by now. At least no one was bothering me.Scotty was keeping his distance, and most people would probably be leaving soon. They were giving me the day to get settled in, which was a fucking blessing since I had no idea how I would be able to handle meetings or making any big decisions today.I’d been so damn optimistic just this morning, determined to make this work no matter what. I was so damn sure I had this under control, that I was going to walk in as CEO and things would just fall in place.I was prepared
