Blair glanced at the clock on her wall and was a little surprised to see that it was 5:45 pm. She hadn’t even realized. She had been busy catching up on all the meeting notes for Roman’s files and sending off any actioning emails from the meetings. Blair sat back in her chair and stretched out her back with her arms raised in the air. Before relaxing again. She needed to call her sisters and with the door connecting her and Roman’s office closed, now seemed the best time.

Picking up her phone, she dialed Sutton’s number.

“Hi hon,” Came Sutton’s soft voice in her ear.

“Hey, how is my niece or nephew doing today?” Was the first question out of her mouth. Sutton’s pregnancy hadn’t been easy. She had had morning sickness nonstop for the first four months. Whoever had called it morning sickness had lied. Sutton had thrown up at anytime and often. She and Keira both believed part of it had been the stress of her ex leaving her pregnant and alone. God, she hoped so, because there was a chan

    Roman knew it was getting late and they should call it a day, but he sat at his desk after Blair had just delivered him a coffee and the typed up meeting notes had been sent to his computer already. It was the one thing that had stopped him from making a move on her sooner. Well, two really. He hadn’t wanted to lose her as a secretary. She had been the best one he had ever had. Also, there had been the problem of her fiance. Roman leaned down and pulled out the file he had hidden in his bottom drawer. The investigation he had run into Dan’s department had given him more information that he had planned. It had all started last month when a discrepancy had appeared in the accounts of the sales department. When he had started the investigation, it hadn’t been to catch out Dan but to find out if they had a thief who was embezzling money. That little mystery was still a work in progress. They had set up a trap, so the next time money was taken, they would discover the thief. While conduc

    Blair bit her lip. She was feeling anxious about going home with Roman and concerned about the logistics of getting to his place without anyone from the company finding out. It was late, so there wouldn’t be many people around, but the possibility of being seen was still a major risk. She had researched public transport options online and discovered that there was no direct bus service in that direction. Keeping her relationship with Roman a secret was important to her, and she definitely didn’t want anyone knowing that she was staying at his place. In hindsight, she realized she should have discussed the plan with him before now.The office phone buzzed on her desk. Lifting it, Blair put it to her ear. “Blair, I was about to leave for the day, but Jessica Kingston is here to see Roman.” Kara let her know straight away.That shocked her. In the two years she had worked here, she had only met Jessica once. “Hold one second, Kara.” Blair said before putting her on hold and ringing thr

    Roman look first at Blair to see that she had a frosty look in her eyes. Just what had been going on here. Maybe he shouldn’t have left Jessica in her company for so long. But he wanted to talk to his lawyer first before speaking to Jessica. Better to have all the facts in front of him beforehand. But Ashley, his lawyer, had been as surprised as him by the visit. But she had warned him to not promise anything until speaking to her first. “Jessica? Please.” Roman used a hand gesture to invite her into his office. Not missing the smirk, Jessica gave Blair as she moved away from her desk. She brushed against his body as she walked by him to enter his office. It took everything in him not to move away. He would not show her any emotion, but she left him cold, when once she had been able to set his body aflame. Roman mouthed to Blair. “Wait for me.” Realizing too late they hadn’t spoken about traveling home together and now wasn’t the right time. She gave him a small nod. Satisfied, Roma

    Blair watched Roman’s door, wondering what was going on inside between them. She heard Roman’s laugh and then nothing for a long time. Suddenly, the door was swung open to reveal a clearly upset Jessica. She didn’t say anything, just stomped across the room towards the exit.“Goodnight Mrs. Kingston.” Blair thought it polite to say to the woman.She was shocked by Roman’s next words. “The only Mrs. Kingston is my mother. If Jessica insists on keeping my name, it’s Ms. Kingston if she really is to up herself to be called by her first name.”This only seemed to ignite Jessica’s temper, and she gave a small squeal and left the offices. Roman was on his mobile within seconds. “Peters, make sure one of your team sees Jessica leaves the building with zero fuss, please.” Roman put his phone back in his pocket. “Well now, that’s dealt with. Shall we go home?” Blair had so many questions but kept them to herself. She didn’t have the right to question him about his ex wife. Not now, maybe not

    Her phone started ringing as soon as she left the building. Pulling it out of her bag, she saw Roman’s name on the screen. She answered straight away.“Hey. I’m ok.” She continued to walk towards the bus stop she had arranged for Roman to pick her up from.“Stay where you are. I’m coming to get you,” Roman said in a demanding tone.“No, you are not. You will meet me at the bus stop like we arranged.” She would not back down.“Blair…” She could hear he was upset by her stubbornness. “He followed you out of the building.”“Knowing you, Roman, you have Peters following him right now to make sure he isn’t following me. So I’m safe. If it makes you feel better, you can stay on the line with me while I walk.”When he didn’t deny her charge about Peters following Dan, she knew she was right. “Fine, but I don’t like it,” came his frustrated voice over the phone.Blair changed the subject of the conversation as she continued to walk, her heels clicking on the sidewalk. “I have to go home on S

    Roman arrived at the three-car garage and pressed the remote button to open the door. He slid his car into an available spot. Besides the vehicles he kept at the office garage in his private section, Roman stored two other cars here. She didn’t understand why some men felt the need to own so many cars. When she had done very well without one. Depending on how long she stayed here, that would have to change. She had a license but hadn’t needed to use it while living in the city. Roman’s estate was on the outskirts of the city. She had been here before when Roman had hosted a party here for his business partners. Dan had attended with her that weekend. It had been a horrible weekend for her. Dan had been upset about the time she had to spend in Roman’s company. She had been expected to stand beside Roman when people had arrived. She didn’t understand it now any more than she had then. Roman turned off the car. Unclipping his seatbelt, then hers. “Lets go inside. I had the housekeeper

    Roman took Blair’s hand before leading her to the master bedroom.“Maybe I should unpack before going to bed.” She had never been to this side of the house before. The times she had been here, there had been no need to enter the master bedroom.Roman shook his head answering “Jenny had one of the day staff do that for you already. Everything has been pressed and hung up before we got home.” Pulling her into the room and up against the wall where he pinned her in place with his body. His grip was firm. The movement made her heart race.Her eyes darting around the dimly lit room. It was large like the rest of the house, and the only light was burning on the bedside table. The bed was a super king, which was understandable when Roman was over six feet tall. Blair was glad to see he didn’t have satin sheets on the bed. She didn’t know how she felt about satin sheets.Roman released her wrist, lifting his hands to undo her hair, letting the mass fall over her shoulders. “I love your hair.

    Saturday afternoon Blair was sitting in the lounge room reading when the doorbell rang. She looked around for Roman. He had taken a call and walked away so he could leave her in peace while she was involved in her book. She spied him through the glass doors leading outside. He was still on the phone. Shrugging, she could answer the door. Putting her book aside, Blair got up and cross to the door. Looking through the side glass panel, to see a gorgeous man standing there. He was tall, taller than Roman, with thick midnight black hair and dark eyes. This must be Roman’s friend from university. Blair turned the lock and opened the door. “Hi.”The man gave her a once over. She didn’t feel he was checking her out in a sexual way. If she had felt that way, she would have put him in his place. Blair wasn’t sure if Roman had said anything about her to him. “I see Roman still has impeccable taste. I don’t mean to be rude, but Roman told me he couldn’t be late tonight because he had plans. No

    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

    Roman’s grip tightened on Blair’s hips as he set her down stepping away from her to lock the door before picking her up in his arms again, she clutched at his shoulders as he took measured steps across the room, pressing her back against the cool glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows. The city stretched out behind her, glittering with sunlight, but all she could focus on was the way his body caged hers in, his presence overpowering. The knowledge that it was reflective glass, so anyone looking up or in couldn’t see them only made the moment more intense. Because they could do anything.His fingers trailed up her thighs, slow and deliberate, igniting every nerve along the way. He wasn’t gentle, Roman’s need was to extreme, but she loved that about him. He didn’t pretend. He took what he wanted, and tonight, she was the only thing he wanted.“Take off your dress,” he ordered, his voice dark, edged with impatience. He stepped away to watch her follow his order.Blair’s breath hitched, bu

    Blair stared at Roman, her heart pounding so hard she was sure he could hear it. Marry him? The words echoed in her head, loud and disorienting. It was insane. Reckless. Completely out of control.And yet, a small, undeniable part of her wanted to say yes.She had just ended her engagement with Dan last week. It felt like whiplash to go from that to standing here, listening to Roman ask her to marry him. But it was different with Roman. Everything about him, the way he touched her, looked at her, challenged her, made her feel something she had never had before.Something intense. Something dangerous.It wasn’t love. Not yet. She wasn’t willing to say that word, not when she’d thought she had loved Dan and look where that had gotten her. But this… what she felt for Roman was more than lust, more than attraction. It was raw, consuming, and completely outside her control.She swallowed hard, trying to focus. “This is crazy.”Roman’s lips curled slightly, but there was no humor in his exp

    Roman stepped out of his office, his mind still spinning from the encounter with Jessica. He clenched his jaw as he spotted Blair and Kara talking over Blair’s desk. Blair’s arms were crossed, her expression unreadable, but there was an edge to the way she stood. He could see she was tense.. Kara, on the other hand, looked apologetic, shifting awkwardly on her feet.The moment Kara noticed him, she straightened, opening her mouth, but Roman shook his head. “Don’t,” he said firmly.“I’m really sorry—”“It’s not your fault,” he cut her off. “Jessica is manipulative and has no boundaries. You don’t have to apologize for her.”Kara looked relieved, nodding quickly. Blair, however, kept her gaze steady on him, like she was trying to figure out what was going on in his head. Roman didn’t give her the chance.“Blair. My office. Now.”He didn’t wait for a response, just turned and walked back inside, knowing she would follow. And she did. A moment later, she was shutting the door behind her,

    Roman didn’t expect Blair to barge into his office. Well, that wasn’t entirely true.The second he left her and Kara, he knew she’d be pissed. Knew by the way her eyes had flared. After Kara looked at them too long meant she’d put the pieces together. He should have been more careful. He should have walked in like he always did, like she wasn’t the only thing occupying his mind, like he hadn’t spent the last few nights tangled up with her, tasting her.But he couldn’t, not now. He wanted to shout it from the rooftops, but she wanted to hide the fact they were together. It wasn’t sex to him. Roman wanted more than an affair. He had been planning this too long for this to be anything but serious. He just needed to convince Blair of that. So, no, he wasn’t surprised when she shoved the door shut behind her, arms crossed, eyes sharp and full of fire. He wasn’t surprised when she cut straight to the point. “You gave us away.”Roman leaned back in his chair, exhaling through his nose, scho

    Blair stored her handbag and placed her phone on her desk before pushing open Roman’s office door, shutting it behind her with more force than necessary.She barely gave him a second to react before stepping forward, arms crossed, her gaze sharp. “You gave us away.”Roman didn’t look up right away. He just leaned back in his chair, exhaling through his nose like he’d expected this. Maybe he had.His voice was calm, unreadable. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”Blair narrowed her eyes, stepping closer. “Kara noticed. She saw it, Roman. The tension.” She’d admit it was partly her fault. “The way you acted. You walked in, handed over the mail, and didn’t even say good morning to me. No hello, nothing. And she knew. It was that obvious.”Roman sighed, rubbing his jaw, finally looking at her. “I wasn’t thinking about it like that. I’m not used to hiding my relationships.”“Exactly,” Blair shot back. “You weren’t thinking. And now she knows about us. She won’t say anything, but it’s
