Ruined By My Bosses Mounting Pressure
Rune I’d reveled in the free afternoon with the kids, having accomplished a lot in the absence of having to take care of my normal responsibilities, as well as eliminating any driving time to and from the office that I would’ve typically been out of commission for. Micah spent the rest of the morning working remotely from the living room, and it was nice to collaborate with him on a few ideas of how to improve the work life experience for the editors. I was happy that he clearly intended to follow through with his plans to bring Griffin Fashion into the twenty-first century, and I loved the fact that he valued my opinion enough to ask for my input. Therefore, I was able to get more than average done today, and the prospect of having interns to help out in the future aided me in reducing the stress levels I felt overall. Shane had spent the majority of the day replacing the shoddy parts on my car and performing all the general upkeep that I’d neglected over the last few months. As

Shane Holy shit. It felt like I’d been waiting ages for the chance to get my lips on Rune’s again, even if it had only been since last night in reality. I wanted her desperately, and my rock-hard cock could attest to that, something she soon found out for herself when she flew into my arms out of nowhere. Did I complain? Hell no. Without a moment of hesitation, I crushed my mouth against hers, savoring the delectable vanilla flavor that was purely Rune. Wasting no time, I pressed her up against the wall, letting my hands explore the curves of her body seemingly of their own accord. I couldn’t resist grinding my dick against her as she wrapped her legs around my waist, and I lost myself in the moment, taking everything that she was giving me and demanding more still. My hunger for Rune was on the verge of taking over completely, but somehow, I managed to maintain a shred of sanity, giving me the foresight that I needed to carry my girl down the hall and into the master bedroom w

Micah It’d taken every ounce of the restraint that I’d honed over the years to force myself to step foot outside that room with Rune lying naked and needy between the thin fabric of the sheets. I’d seen the way she’d fidgeted with both Shane and my gazes trained on her in her barely clothed state, in spite of how sated my closest friend had likely left her beforehand, but there was fear in her mien as well. Just the same, I’d known we would have to tread carefully moving forward, and that was one of the main reasons I’d made myself leave the room when I did. Well, that, and the repeated din of knocking coming from the direction of the front door. Reaching the door in the middle of the racket, I didn’t waste time in opening it, giving the man on the outside a glare that would scare most other men in the span of a heartbeat, but he didn’t seem concerned as I snapped out, “There’s a child here trying to sleep. We would appreciate you keeping it down.” Guffawing disdainfully, the guy

Micah “Mom?” Isla’s sweet voice haltingly inquired, continuing with the same breath, saying, “Micah?” as she shattered the silence that’d fallen once I’d switched off the ignition. Roman tacked on, asking, “Why are the officers back? I thought Damien was gone.” He put on a great front, but he wasn’t able to conceal the dread I heard in his tone, all the same. I glanced over at Rune in the passenger seat, attempting to gauge how she wanted to handle the situation, but it looked like she needed a minute to gather her thoughts with this new bit of information throwing a wrench in our afternoon plans. While I didn’t know why the police were here, I was certain that nothing and no one would harm Rune and these children while Shane or I was still breathing. Jasmine was sitting in the back with the other kids, and I reached out to take Rune’s hand, softly running my thumb over the top of it as I heard Jas, trying to brush off the seriousness of what was happening. It was plain that all

Micah I filled Shane in on the new developments surrounding Rune’s ex and the game plan to handle any danger he posed accordingly while Rune spent some much-needed time with her kids and Jasmine, though it wasn’t tough to see that she adored Jas as if she were her own too. Rune’s amazing heart was one of the things that continued to draw me in, among many other things, and I was only that much more pissed at that asshat Damien for putting the kids and her through all this needless stress. It was obvious she didn’t get enough time to simply enjoy the little moments in life, but I was well aware that Shane and I were here now to ensure she didn’t have to go through the trials and tribulations of life alone any longer, whether she was ready to accept the inevitability of us all ending up together yet or not. Nothing would make me give up Rune now, and one look at Shane, cooking up a storm at the stove, informed me that he felt the same. Shane had been known to use his culinary creati

Rune The initial part of my morning went smoothly, as all of them had been going this week thus far with the guys around to lend a hand, but it didn’t detract from the dread I felt at what I had to do today. I’d spent a few minutes gathering extra evidence to support the police report Micah let me know he’d been able to procure, single-minded in my need to prove how demented Damien had always been, but neither Shane nor Micah foresaw an issue with the order being granted. Shane excusing himself yesterday when the police officer was at the house had been confusing, but I’d figured out hurriedly that Micah was more versed within the legal world, though he’d later assured me he would be more than happy to help me if I preferred for him to be the one to accompany me to the courthouse. It was difficult to not second guess everything after the years I’d spent tiptoeing around Damien and his fragile ego, especially with two men involved, but neither one had given me a reason to doubt thei

Rune “Well, look what the cat dragged in. I wasn’t sure you even worked here anymore, Rune.” Elisabeth’s nasally voice made my spine stiffen and my fingers clench, causing the paper I was holding to crinkle loudly in the resounding silence following the other woman’s outburst. Dropping the documents altogether, I spun on my heel, fleetingly taken aback as I saw that Elisabeth wasn’t alone. Amy, the other editor who’d up until recently been sharing this office space with me, was standing next to her, wearing a matching scowl on her face. I guess I wasn’t surprised she’d chosen to back the woman whose red-hot temper matched her hair color, but I wasn’t prepared to deal with this foolishness today. “Hello, Elisabeth, Amy. I don’t have time for this right now. Could you just get to the point?” I asked mildly, my mind already focusing on my next task after I left the office. Amy piped up, showing her true colors after all the months I’d worked amicably with her as she sneered, “It mus

Shane Rune was visibly shaken when her and Isla had come strolling through the door, Micah not far behind them. I looked towards him, my eyebrows raised as I wordlessly questioned how everything had went at the courthouse prior this morning, and I was still feeling grateful that he’d been up for the task, one trip to file a restraining order being plenty for me. Micah’s thumbs up informed me the protective order had been approved, but there was still plainly something bothering our girl. Micah’s mystified expression didn’t give me any additional clues to go on, and, consequently, we both spent the majority of the afternoon trying to get her to open up to no avail. Dying to get out of the house, I volunteered to drive Rune to pick up Roman from school while Micah remained home with Isla, and it was impossible to miss how she couldn’t keep her eyes focused on a single thing, aside from her son, during the entire round trip. A part of me had been concerned that she would kick Micah

Ruined By My Bosses Guilty Conscience
Shane “So, are you guys going to tell me the whole story now?” I asked once Isla and Roman were tucked into bed, having already ensured the house was secure earlier in the evening with my shadow’s help. Roman seemed to have taken a real shine to me, and I was determined to be the best role model I could be for him, knowing I’d done a shit job of emanating that with my sister. I ran through the things I’d taken note of as I’d observed the kids’ and adults’ behavior since Rune and Micah had returned home as I waited for someone to start the discussion, recalling a few worrisome thoughts I’d put a pin in until later. Rune had given her son a brief rundown of why his sister was injured, but it was obvious at the time that her explanation had been missing quite a bit. Isla evidently had a broken leg and had a few nasty bruises and scrapes that I could see, but I didn’t believe for one second that her injuries had come from her falling down the stairs unless something had caused her to
Ruined By My Bosses Everything Happens for a Reason
Shane Micah’s message wasn’t surprising in the slightest, and it only served to fuel the ire spreading rampant through my system. I’d never been a fan of Rune’s friend Kira, having seen what her idea of ‘watching’ little ones was from the beginning, but I’d been able to push my reserve to the side when my girl had explained how close she was with the other female and all she’d done for her. It helped that Kira had seemed to be doing better with the task the last time we’d interacted together, but I could see that my intuition had been right from the get-go. In any case, I was positive that Rune’s emotions had to be running the gamut, and I was glad that Micah was the one she’d asked to join her in the back with Isla, knowing he would be able to soothe both girls’ frayed emotions far better than I could for the time being. My go-to in stressful situations was humor, but I highly doubted that Rune and Isla would find anything funny at the moment. I’d noted a few curious looks and e
Ruined By My Bosses Bad Faith
Rune The change in Kira’s features was damn near palpable after Isla revealed the truth, a truth that my former friend had evidently been hiding for a very long time. I wasn’t naïve enough to believe whatever relationship she’d had with him was new based on her reaction, but I was determined to learn everything I could about her involvement with my children’s father now that I was in the know. Derek hanging around could jeopardize what I was trying to accomplish with Roman and Isla, and there was no way in hell I was going to let that deadbeat delay my kids having a permanent stable home any longer. After years of back and forth with him stalling through the legal system, less than two weeks were remaining before he finally lost his rights altogether. He’d been nothing but a thorn in my side since Belinda had passed away, naming me as the children’s guardian, but I knew he didn’t give a shit about what happened to either child. I was well aware that he only wanted the government
Ruined By My Bosses The Truth Will Always Prevail
Rune Shane’s words trickled through my brain, slowly registering through the fog that had set in due to all the mental uproar I’d already been experiencing so early on in the day, but the only thought running through my mind once I comprehended what he was telling us was, “What the fuck?” I saw red, and I was intent on flying out of the vehicle with only one thought seared into my head -Kiki was going to face my wrath. I barely noticed the ache the seatbelt strap caused as it dug into the flesh on my upper chest where my tank top had left it exposed, but it did briefly prevent me from advancing forward, only causing my anger to simmer in the forefront of my mind at the delay. Somehow, I managed to unbuckle the latch in my rattled state as I simultaneously flung the car door open, and then I was storming across the relatively short distance separating Kiki’s and my houses. Some small part of me recognized that I was behaving irrationally, but it didn’t take much for my ire to drown
Ruined By My Bosses When It Rains, It Pours
Rune Yawning, I rubbed my hands over my face before concentrating on pouring myself another cup of coffee, feeling a slight thrill at not having had to make it myself like usual. I could already see how easy it would be to get used to having someone else around to help out, or two someone’s in my case, but there was still that voice in the back of my head that worried things were going too smoothly. Some part of me kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, having experienced near constant turmoil in my life it seemed, and nothing I told myself could make that anxiety disappear. Subtly, I glanced over to where Micah was sitting, his laptop opened at the table as he steadily worked to clear the backlog of emails that had been piling up ever since he’d been devoting more and more time to my children and I. The apprehension only continued to coil low in my belly as I realized the full extent that I was affecting my males’ lives to. It was to the point that I almost overfilled my cup w

I am so sorry I haven't been uploading. I swear I'm working on it. My life is just hectic at the moment. I lost my babysitter for standing up for my son, and I'm struggling to find another one I trust and can afford. I'm doing my best. Things are just rough for me for the time being. I've outlined the rest of this novel, but I've been too stressed to sit down and focus on what I want to write. I have to write at least 100 words to post this update, so this is me writing nonsense to meet the quota.
Ruined By My Bosses Weathering the Tempest
Micah “What messages? What’s going on guys?” Rune’s bell-like voice rung out less than a minute later, slicing through the palpable pressure in the large open area that made up the kitchen and living room. Startled, I turned from where I’d been slouched in a chair at the table, jumping to my feet as my eyes connected with Rune’s sleepy, silver-gray orbs. I was surprised Shane hadn’t noticed her arrival with his view of the hall, but I wasn’t upset that she had overheard us either, guessing I had just missed her when I’d rotated in my seat to look in the direction of where she had been dozing prior. “Good morning, sweetheart. How did you sleep?” I asked, wrapping my arms around her as I did so, and I relaxed some as she willingly accepted my gesture. Shane didn’t need me to lead by example, already moving towards our girl the instant he’d realized we weren’t alone any longer. It appeared that I needed to get my reflexes checked if this morning was anything to go by. That was twice
Ruined By My Bosses Trouble Knocking
Micah The day had gone off without a hitch to my relief, and I was well sated with Rune resting in my arms where she belonged, Shane’s big body scrunched up on her other side. It was a tight fit for us all in her queen size bed, the mattress not having been intended for one average height woman and two men over six feet tall, but it only meant I got to hold her closer to me all night. Even so, I felt confident that Shane planned to order her a bigger bed at some point, the other male preferring to have room to stretch out as he slept, but he was wisely waiting for a less hectic moment to spring the change on Rune. We would have to have a deeper discussion about living together more permanently after she was out of danger, which I wasn’t convinced she would be until that bastard was behind bars permanently, or dead, but I was content to follow her to the ends of the earth, regardless. Thus far, she’d been resistant to any attempt on our part to aid her in any way, especially when t
Ruined By My Bosses Long Awaited Union
Rune Shane’s lips slammed over mine in a bruising kiss, keeping my pulse rising as I felt someone’s hand glide sensuously down my side and over the curve of my hip. The positioning of it told me it was likely Micah, but I didn’t give a damn who the appendage belonged to when two calloused digits met my sopping wet center, making me whimper with the feeling of them thrusting into my heat without warning. Gasping for air, I tried to catch my breath as Shane’s attention also moved to more erogenous areas on my body, but they gave me no measure, two mouths and four hands being capable of a hell of a lot as it turned out. Heretofore, my one-on-one experiences with the men had scarcely prepared me for the intensity of the moment, and I knew I would swiftly become addicted to the feeling of ecstasy that was coursing through my body, of being at the center of their attention. Someone plucked at the taut buds my nipples had become, but I kept my eyes sealed shut, not caring which male was
