In Love with the Boss' Son #Chapter 98 - Good News Galore
DORISThe good news continued to roll in the next day. Mr. Owens' assistant called and said one of the hottest new songwriting teams had two songs available for me and the band to record. We set up a time to listen to them and decided we liked the first one better.Mr. Owens had an amazing recording studio and sound engineer professional lined up for us to use. I asked if Arthur and Mia would be allowed to come, and the record executives, the sound engineer, and the rest of the band hall said of course. Arthur cleared his schedule.It was an amazing week.We recorded the song. Even though it was hard work, it still went well. I was happy with the initial results, and I was sure it would be a hit.For a moment, it was all I could think about.Arthur and I were lying in bed that night. When I looked at his face, I could tell something was still bothering him.“Arthur, what’s on your mind?”“It’s Cathy. Not only don’t I understand why she did what she did, I can’t let her get away with i
In Love with the Boss' Son #Chapter 99 - In A Little Silver Frame
DORISArthur and I exited the elevator of the penthouse and walked across the lobby, arm and arm. We had decided to work from home that morning, and I was happy that we had gotten so much work done.We were almost to the doors of the lobby when Andrea walked in. She was wearing a big cloak that covered her whole body.She opens her cloak to reveal a little baby in a sling strapped to her chest. The boy was swaddled in a light blue blanket. He was adorable.With all that had been going on in our life, I had forgotten that Andrea had probably had her baby by now.“Congratulations," Arthur said stiffly.Andrea beamed.“What are you doing here?“ Arthur asked.“The baby looks so much like you when you were a baby," Andrea said. "It made me nostalgic for when you were a child. All those times before…“ She let the sentence trail off, and I remembered how Arthur’s father died.Arthur must’ve been thinking of the same thing because he grimaced."It was a magical time,“ Andrea said. "And I want
In Love with the Boss' Son #Chapter 100 - Twice As Happily Ever After
DORISI sang, and every song felt effortless.I went to the ladies' room at the break right before the last set, and when I came back out, there were 400 red roses all throughout the performance area. I knew this was Arthur’s doing. How did he get so many vases of roses into the Salton room in such a short time?The entire room smelled like a florist shop and looked like Valentine’s Day had come to the performance.I smiled at Arthur from up on stage and sang every romantic song I could think of.When we finished the last song, it seemed like the applause from the audience was louder than ever. Maybe all the roses put everybody in a good mood.Just as I was about to walk off the stage, Arthur came up and stopped me.“He stood in front of me at the bottom of the stage “This woman is the most amazing woman I have ever seen.”Then he walked up on stage and stood by my side. “Doris, from the first moment I met you, I knew you were special. You captured my heart and became part of my famil
In Love with the Boss' Son #Chapter 1: One night with a stripper
DORISI was excited to get off work early. I planned to make a special dinner for Bob's birthday, and because my meeting cancelled, I had even more time to make something delicious.It was a gray day. The New York City smog and noise were worse than usual.But I whistled a happy tune. I walked down 5th Avenue on a cloud.Bob, my boyfriend of a year, and the most senior real estate agent in the firm where I was an entry-level marketer, said he didn't want to wait to plan a big wedding. He wanted us to elope at the end of the month.Promising me we'd be together in an expensive house with a pool was a little much. It was a lot, considering how hard I worked just to scrape by. Bob said I should pay the whole rent so he could save for a dream house for us.It's hard paying the expensive rent by myself, but Bob is so adamant about buying us a fancy villa, I have to believe him.Bob and his tales of our fantastic future quickly became my whole life. The least I could do was make him his fav
In Love with the Boss' Son #Chapter 2: He's hotter than I thought
My trembling hands fumbled with the card key as I raced to unlock the hotel room door.“Want help?” Arthur said, his voice low and full of innuendo. He leaned over my shoulder. His incredible smell – subtle expensive cologne and underneath that sexy, raw male power – made me speechless. I just shook my head and breathed deeply.I could do this. I wanted this. I needed this.I nervously opened the door to my apartment, heart racing as I led Arthur inside. I couldn't believe I brought him home with me! Yet from the moment I saw him, I felt pulled to him by some invisible cosmic force. Yes, his incredible good looks helped, but it was much more than that.As soon as we got inside, we were all over each other, a frenzy of want. He pressed me up against the door. I had one second to admire his chiseled jawline and barely banked lust in his piercing gray-blue eyes.Then he kissed me with the kind of hunger I’d always dreamed of but never thought I’d have.I could feel the chemistry between
In Love with the Boss' Son #Chapter 3: I'll make her mine
ARTHURI sighed as I listened to my mother's grating voice on the phone."Are you listening?""Of course, I am, Mother."It was impossible not to hear her. She couldn't stop hounding me that I needed to meet her boyfriend, Bob."I can't meet your boyfriend tonight," I said. My seven-year-old precious adopted daughter was my priority. "You know I always spend extra time with Mia on Sundays.""I can't believe you're choosing your not-even biological bastard over my fiance!" my mother screeched.I hung up on her.Monday morning, I boarded my private jet to France for a business negotiation."I know you've got a very tight schedule," my assistant, Nathan, said. He handed me a stack of papers once we got settled. "You'll find this deal has a great return on investment."I nodded, quickly scanning Nathan's good work.“One more thing Nathan, I need you to investigate the woman I was…intimate with last night."“What?!” Nathan stared at me with a look of surprise, but he quickly composed himse
In Love with the Boss' Son #Chapter 4: My lies are about to be exposed
ARTHURI stared down at Doris and time stopped. Then my mind flashed back to first turning onto Madison Avenue. I replayed the last few minutes from when I was in my Rolls Royce.I only planned on driving by where she worked, but as the limo moved on, I saw her. She appeared deep in thought, pushing up her attaché case and purse and beginning to unwrap a large sandwich.Then I saw Doris give food to a homeless man.My heart…expanded somehow.I told my driver to slow down.I looked at the report my assistant, Nathan, gave me and scanned it again.Doris. The name suited her. Hard-working and conservative on the outside, a fireball of lust waiting to be released on the inside.I hadn’t planned on stopping. I wanted more time to think.As I watched her, I couldn't help but be drawn to her infectious energy. There was something about her that captivated me, something that made me want to get to know her better."Slow down even more," I told my driver. When he immediately slowed the car, I
In Love with the Boss' Son #Chapter 5: How could he be so perfect?
DORISThe ladies continued their conversation with Arthur. It seemed innocent, but their questions were getting more pointed.Brittney babbled. Is she flirting? Arthur was polite but aloof; his subtly cutting words made him even more attractive.Anna spoke up, asking him specific AmeriCapital questions.My heart raced.I tried to change the subject, but Anna wasn’t having it.Anna definitely once said her boyfriend worked at AmeriCapital Investments.The colleagues looked like they could see my guilty conscience.These women should be my friends! Instead, they winked and continued to stare aggressively at Arthur.Worse, they wouldn't stop asking questions, including if Arthur knew Peter, Anna's fiancé, an AmeriCapital executive.I didn’t know what to do. I’m doomed.AmeriCapital.God, of all the companies I could choose, why did I pick that one? I berated myself.I hoped to avoid disaster. Hopefully Anna's boyfriend wouldn't know.Anna asked a pointed investment question.Shit.I cou

In Love with the Boss' Son #Chapter 97 - Subterfuge at an Italian Restaurant
DORISThe liquor store next to the Italian restaurant had a narrow fake hallway between the two stores. Interestingly enough, there were peek holes in the wall that allowed us to see from the liquor store into the restaurant.This worked out well for us because Nathan, Arthur, and I all got to peek out and look at Nina while she had dinner with Dr. John and Jeff.Nina looked absolutely gorgeous, and Dr. John and Jeff were entranced.We could see Dr. John and Jeff's faces completely and see Nina face in profile. We could hear them clearly thanks to the wire that Nina had stuffed down her bra.She had plied Dr. John and Jeff with liquor and flirtatious comments throughout dinner, staying clear from any serious topics.I perked up when she got to the good stuff."I can get a job with Arthur's pharmaceutical company as they rebuild," Nina said, "and I bet I could find out any secrets and new formulas they have." She let that offer hang in the air. The implications were like a tempting fru
In Love with the Boss' Son #Chapter 96 - Revenge Is A Dish Best Served Flambe
ARTHURMonday morning, I got up while Doris was still sleeping. Despite a wonderful weekend with Doris and Mia, I hadn’t slept well.It had been a month since the fire, and I hadn’t made any progress in finding out who did it.I had my driver take me out to the pharmaceutical company. I stood in front of the charred remains of the original office building, lab, and factory.I had chosen to rebuild on another part of the property, leaving the destroyed buildings as they were as a show of what could happen when I let my defenses down.The sight of the blackened buildings filled me with grief and also a vile rage. The anger was almost too violent to control. My stomach felt like a volcano had taken up residence there and was churning, ready to explode.I had worked so hard on this pharmaceutical business. It wasn’t just the money that I lost having to rebuild that angered me. It was all the people who would have to wait longer before they could get treatment.It was the fact that formula
In Love with the Boss' Son #Chapter 95 - Partners
DORISArthur got me and an assistant for Heritage Properties, who had just gotten her real estate license. She was efficient and eager, and she took over all the real estate deals I thought would close soon.Arthur recommended an entertainment lawyer, and she went over my music contract and said it was very good, so I signed it.

DORISArthur hauled me against him. He lifted me, and I wrapped my legs around his waist and plastered myself against him."I need you in our bed," Arthur growled. "Right now."He carried me. I was too busy enjoying the feel of his body against mine— a sensation I wasn't sure I'd ever feel again— to pay attention to the elevator ride.I was too busy kissing Arthur’s neck to focus on him unlocking the penthouse, carrying me over the threshold, and kicking the door shut with his foot.Arthur kissed me like I'd been gone for months, not just a day.Arthur spun us, and my back slammed up against the drywall in the entry hall with a force that made me wonder if we left a dent.Arthur pinned me against the wall with his hips. He pulled up my shirt and stared like he couldn't believe I was here with him.His growl made my blood simmer and my breath catch. For the rest of my life, I'd never forget that animalistic sound of want and approval.My nipples hardened. Need roared through me like a
In Love with the Boss' Son #Chapter 93 – Where Is She?
ARTHUREven though I could sense that Doris wasn’t in the apartment, I immediately began to search, going from room to room.I saw two of her suitcases in the smaller bedroom, and I immediately relaxed.I whirled around and
In Love with the Boss' Son #Chapter 92 – Near Miss or Not?
DORISI slept better than I thought I would. I didn’t know what my next step should be. Should I quit Heritage Properties and look for another real estate job?I was jolted out of my reverie when my phone rang. It was a number I didn’t recognize. My first thought was that perhaps it was Arthur trying to trick me, calling from a different number.
