Blair comes home to find her fiancé in bed with her cousin Laura. She is determined not to let it destroy her. She is a strong capable woman. What she hadn’t planned on was drinking too much then sleeping with her boss. Roman shows her things she had never experienced before. Didn't even know she would enjoy. The next morning in the cold light of day and sober, Blair wants to pull away and call it a one-night stand. Roman has other ideas. He just doesn't want her for one night he wants her period.
View MoreBlair stirred, her body heavy with sleep, warmth cocooning her from all sides. She stretched slightly, only to pause when she felt eyes on her. Slowly, she blinked her way awake, turning her head to find Roman watching her from his place beside her.“You’re staring,” she murmured, her voice husky from sleep.Roman’s lips curved slightly. “You’re beautiful when you sleep.”Blair felt a flush creep up her neck as she buried her face into the pillow. “That’s unfair. I probably look a mess.” Thinking her long hair would be all over the place.“You look like mine,” he said simply, reaching out to brush his fingers over her cheek.She exhaled softly, leaning into his touch. “I am yours. Sir…”His eyes darkened at her words, and for a moment, she thought he might roll over and claim her all over again. He leaned in, brushing his lips against hers in a slow, lazy kiss that sent warmth spiraling through her.Then he groaned, pressing his forehead against hers. “Fuck. I have a meeting at nine.
The fear of nearly losing her had wrapped around him like a vice, choking him. But now, with the danger momentarily at bay, something darker, deeper clawed its way to the surface, a need so raw it made his fingers flex involuntarily at his sides.Blair looked up at him, her eyes wide, searching his face. “Roman… Sir-”He was on her before she could finish, his mouth crushing hers, swallowing whatever words she had been about to say. His kiss was not gentle. It was desperate, punishing, a silent claim that bordered on possession. She gasped against his lips, her fingers clenching in his shirt as he backed her against the wall.“Tell me you’re okay,” he demanded, his breath hot against her skin as he trailed his lips down her jaw, nipping at the delicate flesh of her throat. “Tell me you can take this.”Blair’s pulse hammered, but it wasn’t fear. It was anticipation. The raw hunger in his voice, the way his hands gripped her hips like he was barely restraining himself, sent liquid heat
Roman helped Blair up, his powerful arms steadying her as she wobbled slightly. The adrenaline was wearing off, leaving her legs weak and her hands trembling. Without hesitation, he scooped her up, ignoring her protests, and carried her to his car. Ethan opened the door, ensuring a smooth transition as Roman settled her inside. Roman shut her door. She watched as he thanked Ethan before moving around the car.She sat in silence as Roman drove, her mind replaying the near accident. If it had even been an accident? It played over and over again in her mind. What if she had stepped off the curb? Would Ethan have been there in time? Would she be laying in the hospital or the morgue? The thought was frightening.Her pulse was still erratic, her body unable to shake the lingering fear. Roman’s grip on the steering wheel was tight, his jaw clenched, his entire body radiating controlled fury. Blair could see he was thinking of what had happened, or nearly happened. She was lucky, except for s
Roman found Blair at her desk, her fingers moving rapidly over her keyboard, eyes focused on the screen. She barely looked up as he leaned against the edge of her desk, watching her. She was so beautiful and so graceful.“Are you ready to leave?” His voice was calm, but there was an underlying authority that always accompanied his words. He wanted to take her home. He wondered if she realized he had taken her that last time without protection. Just the thought of it made his sex jump, and he wanted to do it again. The thought of her round with his child was a huge turn-on.Blair glanced up briefly before looking back at her screen. “I need a few more minutes. You don’t have to wait. I’ll meet you at the bus stop.”Roman’s jaw tightened. This argument again. “Blair, we’ve been over this. I don’t like you walking to the bus stop when you can just come with me.”She sighed, sitting back in her chair. “Roman, I’m not ready for people to know yet. I just got out of a relationship with Dan,
Roman sat at his desk. It was getting late, but he stared at his phone, knowing he needed to make a few more calls before he could take Blair home and make love to her. The first call was the one he worried about the most.He had made plenty of difficult calls in his life, high-stakes business negotiations, shutting down enemies before they even became a threat, but this? This felt different. It wasn’t about business; it was about Blair.With a deep breath, he scrolled through Blair’s employment file to find the number he needed. Once he had located it; he dialed Sutton.She answered on the second ring, “Sutton speaking…” He could hear the wariness in her tone. She wouldn’t recognize the number.“Sutton, it’s Roman Kingston,” he said smoothly“Roman?” She sounded surprised by his call. “What is it?”He smirked at her directness. “I need a moment of your time.”“You sound serious,” she said. “That’s rarely a good thing,”Roman leaned back, his voice steady. “I’m calling because I want
Later that day, Roman sat in his office, fingers tapping against his desk in a steady rhythm. The weight of everything he’d just uncovered sat heavy in his chest, but he wasn’t done yet. Not by a long shot.If Blair’s parents had been set up…if their deaths were more than just a tragic accident, then the people responsible had no idea what kind of war they had just stepped into.A knock at the door broke through his thoughts. “Come in.”Peters walked in, holding a file thick enough to signal bad news. “Blair just went to the restroom. She mentioned you didn’t have anyone in here with you.”Roman gave a nod, granting him permission to proceed.“I wanted to let you know. We’ve gathered more information since this morning.”Roman straightened. “Talk to me.”Peters shut the door behind him and placed the file on Roman’s desk before pulling out a chair. “We went back through Warner Industries’ financials with the team you arranged today. We also combed through the estate filings and legal
“Blair,” Peters said in greeting before turning to Roman’s office. “Is he ready for me?”She nodded, pressing the intercom. “Roman, Peters is here.”“Send him in,” Roman’s voice came through.Blair waved him through, watching as he disappeared into Roman’s office. Something was going on. Peters had been in Roman’s office a lot lately. Curiosity itched at her, but she pushed it aside and turned back to her work. She was not going to think about this coming weekend.Roman leaned back in his chair, eyes sharp as he regarded his head of security. “Is there any update on the missing money?”Peters shook his head. “There hasn’t been another transaction, but when that happens, we have everything in place to catch whoever it is.”Roman’s jaw tightened. “I hate that someone is stealing from me.”“I’ll keep digging. It could be some time before they try again,” his head of security assured him. “We will look for any other financial discrepancies in the sales department’s invoices. I have one of
Blair sighed, staring at her phone as if it had personally wronged her. This weekend was going to be hell, and she knew Sutton and Keira wouldn’t take the news well.She blew out a breath before pulling up her sister Sutton’s contact and pressing call. It rang twice before Sutton picked up.“Blair?” she answered, her voice immediately suspicious. “Are you okay?”Blair rolled her eyes. “Nice to talk to you, too.”“Uh-huh. Sorry, but it’s unlike you to call during a workday unless it’s important. What’s wrong?”“Can you talk?” Blair pinched the bridge of her nose.“Yes, just give me a moment. I’ll head to the ladies’ bathroom.” Blair heard Sutton explain to the person she was on reception with, that she needed to take a call and wouldn’t be long. Not long after, Sutton said, “Okay, what’s up?”“Just hold on. I’m adding Keira,” Blair let Sutton know.She switched to a conference call and dialed their youngest sister. It took longer for Keira to pick up, and when she did, she sounded dist
Roman leaned against the cool marble sink, watching Blair through the mirror as she fixed her hair. Her fingers moved quickly, twisting strands back into the sleek style she’d worn before he had thoroughly undone her. He smirked to himself, proud of the disheveled state he had left her in. The way she had clung to him, the way she had moaned, sir. He could still hear it echoing in his head.“You’re staring,” Blair muttered, adjusting the last few pins and smoothing down a stray curl.“Am I?” he asked, arching a brow. “I thought I was merely appreciating my secretary’s dedication to maintaining a professional appearance.”Blair shot him a glare through the mirror. “Well, you sure do like messy me up.” Then she flashed Roman would bet she was remembering just how he liked to mess her up.Roman grinned, stepping closer and resting his hands on her hips. “Semantics. Either way, you look stunning—though I personally prefer the thoroughly ruined version of you. I love your hair down and wil
Blair was so thankful to be home. She couldn’t comprehend the kind of demon that had possessed her boss during their recent business trip. They had arrived home one day earlier than planned, but she was glad to be away from him. She was surprised that he hadn’t wanted her to return to the office with him. Instead, giving her the rest of the afternoon off.He was being a real shithead. When he had dropped her off at her front door, she had really felt like flipping him the bird. But stilled her hand at the last moment in case he looked back in the rear-view mirror. He did seem to have eyes in the back of his head most of the time. Being gorgeous hadn’t improved his disposition. If anything, it made him more of an ass.She didn’t know what was going on. Roman seemed more irritable and on her part, he had been rubbing her the wrong way. Of the two years she had worked for him, these last two months were the worst. If he didn’t pay her so well… maybe she would tell him where to go. Blair ...
