Getting Lucky I Need You
KADENI woke up thanking god it was Friday. I looked forward to a weekend spent far away from the office and planned on calling Ryan to ask if he wanted to play golf with me on Saturday.But all that had gone to shit.Sitting at my desk, I was listening to Boyd Morrison, one of my biggest and oldest clients, tearing me a new one. “I’ve been with this company for a long time, Marx. If my business is being taken for granted, I’ll be happy to take it elsewhere.”“You’re not being taken for granted, Boyd,” I assured him calmly. I knew who I had to be in front of whichever client I was in front of. Morrison was a big fish in a big pond, but he wanted to feel like everyone was at his beck and call at any time. “It sounds like you’re frustrated with the company. What can I do to prove to you that we value you as much as we always have?”“Put me back on top, Kaden,” he demanded. “Your lackeys have fucked up my portfolio, and I need a solid game plan for how you intend to fix it.”His portfoli
Getting Lucky Daydreaming
EMBERKaden got an office set up for me in the time it took me to get lunch and rush back to the office. I didn’t know if I was going to get to keep it after Monday morning, and it was little more than a glorified storage closet at the end of the hall, but it was my glorified storage closet.Recruits never got offices. In fact, there weren’t even many on our floor. Some of the trainers had offices, and I was pretty sure what now qualified as my office was the couple of squares left over after the other offices had been installed.But that didn’t matter to me. When I agreed to help him for the weekend, I didn’t expect anything in return. I was willing to do it to prove to him and to everyone else that I was committed to this job. I wanted everyone to know I wasn’t afraid of hard work, and also, I wanted a little extra credit in the bag just in case I screwed up somewhere along the line.I was Marx Inc. material, and I wanted everyone to know it. The job meant a lot to me, and while I w
Getting Lucky Getting To Him
Ember“You mean the time my parents made you take me with you, only so you could ditch me by the pool to go make out with those awful cheerleaders?” I remembered that day, all right. It definitely wasn’t a fond memory for me.It was the day I’d gotten my first taste of heartbreak, seeing him holding hands with a girl who always made fun of me for my weight. It was also the day I realized I was never going to look like that girl and that I needed something else.Cue my wicked sense of humor and bold spirit. Hmm, maybe it is a fond memory after all. Those were two of my favorite things about myself now.Kaden chuckled, his hands going up to brush through his hair. “Oh man. We did, didn’t we?”“Yeah, you did,” I replied, trying to stop drool from spilling out of my mouth for how he was making it water. His hair was even messier now. Sexier. Damn it. Damn him. “Tell me, little Jordan. How did you end up in New York from being abandoned at that waterpark? I don’t know much about your his
Getting Lucky All Done
KADEN The sun was setting outside, closing out the weekend on Sunday night. It was like the universe announcing that the weekend was over. Cue the Sunday blues and put away your dancing shoes because it would be back to work soon.Not that it made a single bit of difference to me this weekend. Ember and I had both been here from sunrise to sunset on Saturday and Sunday. Frankly, I was looking forward to Monday for once in my life. At least I would be able to come in at a decent hour again.No one normal started work before seven in the morning, except Ember. When she told me on Friday she would see me at six on Saturday morning, I was close to telling her she was crazy and I would see her at seven.I liked working out before coming to the office and grabbing breakfast somewhere. But seeing as how I was the one who had impressed the importance of getting this done over the weekend to her, I couldn’t very well tell her to start later.So, six in the morning it was. Though I didn’t know
Getting Lucky Kissing Her
A laugh was ripped right out of my stomach. She had this effect on me when very few people could really make me laugh. “I’m tempted to say yes. Probably. He’s the blond guy, right? Or no. Boy band? Something about a direction?”She rolled her eyes. Hard. Harder than those teenage girls she was talking about. Melodic laughter flowed out of her. “Are you trying to betray your age by telling me you think Justin Bieber is part of One Direction?”I frowned. “Isn’t he?”“They don’t even exist anymore,” she informed me, still laughing.“I’ll take that as a no,” I said, honing back in on her comment about my age. “You seem to have a lot of preconceived notions about my age. Stamina. Pop culture. I’m only four years older than you. I can assure you there’s nothing lacking about my stamina, and as for music, I’ve never been a fan of pop.”Green eyes twinkling, she smiled sweetly. “I’m sure there’s nothing for you to get so touchy about when talking about your stamina.”This time, I groaned out
Getting Lucky Playing Games
EMBERKaden Marx is kissing me. My inner thirteen-year-old swooned and, typically for me, tripped over a trash can and went crashing to the floor.Of course, twenty-three-year-old me, the one actually being accosted by those full lips, was just as close to swooning. My legs barely held me up, and my knees threatened to buckle.Because oh. My. God. Kaden fucking Marx was actually kissing me, and I was pretty sure he was sober and doing it of his own free will. Imagine that?While I was swooning deep down inside, I was holding my own on the outside. My tongue twisted and danced with his, moving so perfectly it was like it was choreographed and we‘d done it a hundred times before.The thought that what we were doing was wrong rushed out of my mind almost as soon as it entered it. Kaden‘s finger brushed the tip of my hardened nipple and drove all my worries away.Ryan, who? Work, what? It didn‘t matter. Kaden’s lips were on mine, his strong arms around me, his hips rolling his erection ag
Getting Lucky On His Knees
EmberAny other man might have only been in that position when he proposed, but what Kaden did was so much better. He gripped my thighs and spread them, grinning up at me before he hooked his thumbs into my panties and rolled them off.The scent of my arousal was in the air, and again, I should have been embarrassed. The wave of self-consciousness should have returned, but it didn’t. All because of Kaden.He groaned at the sight of my glistening pussy, bare except for a thin strip of hair on my mound.“You...” He trailed off. “You’re… just… fuck.”In the back of my mind, it occurred to me that I could give him such shit about stuttering in this moment, but the fact that he was doing it because of how much he was affected by me set my veins on fire. My entire being wanted him with a need I didn’t know I could feel.Leaning forward, he licked through my slit. I gasped and moaned, feeling sparks of pleasure traveling from my core to every extremity I had.Encouraged by the sound, Kaden d
Getting Lucky Sneak Attack
KADENA lot of people thought I hadn’t worked hard to get to where I was. It’s your daddy’s business, they said. Of course he’s gonna give you a good spot.If I had a dollar for every time I heard those words, I’d have been even richer than I already was.What those people didn’t know was my dad. If they’d ever met him, they’d know that my being his son meant I had to bust my ass twice as hard to get the job I had.Dad supported a lot of different charity causes, but I wasn’t one of them. I worked twice as hard and got half of the credit, if I got any at all.To be fair, I didn’t need his credit or approval. My track record spoke for itself. When I played, I played hard, but when I worked, I worked harder. Sunday night with Ember was the first time I mixed those two things.Kissing her was purely about me surrendering to mind-numbing lust. The kind of lust that made you forget your own name, or in my case, made me forget my best friend’s name.Ryan finding out about what happened didn

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
