He was trying to get her speaking again as she had gone silent. Though he didn’t mind the silence in the room, he found it odd that she didn’t. She did seem completely focused on whatever she was doing.
“Tomorrow.” She replied without looking up. “I will be here in the morning, so I can wait for the packages.”
“We will both here in the morning.” He said with a chuckle. “Though I work mostly at night, I do keep normal hours for the most part. That is probably the point of the old man and this couch. At least he knows I will have a comfortable place to sleep.”
“Well, I mean, you do go home.” She said again, not looking up at him. He began to wonder what she was doing over there and what she was looking at.
“Not really.” He stated as

“Where is this errand you have to run?” Paige asked as they headed onto the highway leading out of the city.“Somewhere nearby.” He replied as he continued to drive without explaining anything.“You are not telling me on purpose, aren’t you?” She asked with a laugh.“I am afraid of your reaction when I do tell you, so I will let it sit for a bit.” He replied without saying anything more.“My reaction?” She questioned. She was now even more curious as to what he was going on about when it came to this errand he had to run that seemed to pop up out of the blue. He had nothing on his schedule that she knew of. She checked it before they left.“You will understand when you see it.” He said and then was almost chewing on his lip to keep himself from saying anything else. She looked at him and then shook her head, knowing he was going to keep his mouth shut until

On the car ride back to the city, they both were quiet. They were both thinking of everything they needed to do to prepare for the house. Milo was thinking of the bank transfer and the major things, whereas Paige was thinking of the things that would make it a home. It was still a concept to her; it had not sunk in that this man just bought a house because they both needed to move. She looked over to him and saw the look on his face. He was happy on the surface. He was thrilled as they hammered out all the details of the quick sale with the realtor. Everything seemed to be going to his plan. She didn’t know what that plan was, though, and that made her think.“Milo?” she broke the silence with her question.“What, sweetheart?” he responded without looking over to her. He somehow knew what she was going to ask without even putting too much thought into it.“You said earlier that you don’t ever

“I am almost afraid of your multi-tasking.” She said as they got back to the office and went into the inner one that was his. “But at least if the things you ordered for the office show up early, you will be there to take delivery of them.”“Yes, we will.” He said with his grin changing to a more lazy one, and he seemed more relaxed. Today had been a whirlwind of activity. He wasn’t mostly the type to create it in his own life. He found it in others and then identified which drama would do badly for the company and got rid of it. Often quickly and silently. He also knew she could get into a lot more trouble for having an affair with him here at the office, but something in him didn’t care about that. He was normally the one who would find out regardless. If this all worked out the way he could see it being, then she wouldn’t be working here much longer. He wouldn’t cross over that line now

“I don’t want more things.” She said as she looked up to his face. She didn’t want him to buy her anything more. She wanted him to know that.“Do you know how to sew?” he asked with a chuckle.“Yes, why?” she asked.“Because if you don’t remove your clothing in five seconds, the shirt will have no buttons left on it.” He growled as he looked at her, still standing there, not moving. She reached up to the top button that was still buttoned, and undid it, then she moved one down, another, and another until her shirt hung open. He looked at her fine soft skin and then pushed the offending garment to the floor. He looked at her standing there in her perfect glory without a shirt on, but he still saw too much fabric, and she was teasing him now. He liked it more than he wanted too.Her skirt was unbuttoned, and then the zipper moved down slowly until it fell off her h

Paige woke up with a start in the middle of the night. She was in a place she didn’t know and was slightly frightened until she heard the soft breathing of the man in the back of her, which she had also awoken when she nearly jumped out of the strange bed. “Something wrong, sweetheart?” he asked his voice laced with sleep and was deeper than she remembered it to be. She felt bad for waking him up as well as giving herself a mini-heart attack.“I didn’t know where I was for a second.” She said as she settled down for a moment and let her heart stop racing. It would just take a few minutes to get it calmed down to the point she could relax again.“You are right where you are supposed to be.” He said as he pulled her flush against him. Wrapping an arm over her and holding her close to him. His warmth was infusing her as she tried to get a handle on her racing heart still. It was comforting to have

Milo kept to his word and woke her at sunrise, knowing that she would have to take another shower for the day. He was glad he had moved a few of his suits into the closet already, and he helped her in the shower quickly as they knew soon the building would be coming to life again. As they both dressed, he hung a few of her new suits in the closet next to his with a smile as she went to get coffee for the both of them. Things that seemed like it would in the home they would share made everything seem even more dreamlike than it already was for the both of them. Nothing besides a few stolen small kisses here or there would tell a story that they were anything but boss and assistant.In the office, they spoke to each other as they normally would be. It was simple for both of them. The business hours were for the job they both had. Milo had already started to think about how to get what he needed to be done during the waking hours of the day instead of

“Have you decided where to place most of these?” she asked.“Is it too late to say at our new house?” Milo asked with a laugh. “Sweetheart, I think there are a few too many things in here.”“No, there isn’t. I have seen offices much more than just packed with plants. It is the placement of them that will make the office look good.” Paige said as he looked at her.“Please, then by all means. I will lift the trees, and you can tell me where to put them.” He said as he rolled up his sleeves. “Remember, we don’t have real tasks to do for the rest of the week.”“So, are you asking me to take my time?” she asked.“You have permission to be less efficient then you normally are,” he said with a grin. “I am sure that it is going to take a while for you to get everything right.”“Don’t start.” She said

“You think this is a good idea?” Paige asked after Justin left the office. She was looking around at the office and was beginning to think that maybe he was right, and she went a little overboard with the plants. She had to shake her head at herself and went back to helping him place things around the office. The plants did make the size of the room look smaller, though. As she placed a plant down, he would move one of the larger items like a tree or fern to the side where the windows were. In the process, he had made a small private sitting area with the trees around the small couch and two chairs. It was beginning to take shape that could be used.“If it is a bad idea, it is one I should make. I know more about them then they know about me. I think I should try to form something with them. I mean, they are my half-siblings though they know why I am here, existing. The sins of the mother and father shouldn’t be placed onto the child rega

The Assistant Epilogue
A year had filled the castle house with many different things as Milo drove up to it from his long day at the office. His brothers with Maryanne’s help had pushed for him to take his rightful place in the company as a VP by their side. He had enjoyed getting to know them and their families over the past year. His father had also begun to acknowledge him for what and who he was as well along with Missy. However, coming home to Paige was the best part of every day.She had stopped working a few months before. She had been having some issues with getting around easily. Missy had been the one who finally said enough was enough and basically made her leave her position at the company. She had a new job now that was much more important than being his assistant. He smiled as he walked in the door to find her asleep on the couch near the front of the house with the small bundle on her chest. He walked over and lifted the small thing off of her as she woke up and l

Milo and Paige drove up the street to the house that stood there in the trees. She looked at it and knew this was hers. It was the most surreal feeling in the world to her knowing everything that happened in the past two days. She began to laugh. There was no stopping the laughter either.“What?” Milo asked as he looked at her as she got out of the car and looked at everything around her. This place was going to be their place together. A part of who they were, and it would allow them to grow together as well.“This.” She said as she looked at him. “All of this happened to me because I had no clothes to wear to work yesterday.”“Well, not really.” He said, chuckling. He had often thought the moment she walked into his office, everything in his life would change. He had a plan right from the start. Simple steps that would allow him to reach this goal with her. Everything went to hell as soon as the but

“Excuse me?” Paige asked as she looked at the older woman who was smiling at her. Paige was sure that she had heard the older woman wrong. Everything in her told her that she did. There was no way this woman just said that to her, not to Milo.“I had to charge you something, but a private sale is much easier to handle,” Missy said as she put the dollar in her pocket. “You see, the house is mine to do with as I please. I wanted a family to move in. I offered the house first to my children, but they all have the ones they wanted. I had no idea Milo was looking for one, or I would have found a way to offer it to him as well. I decided though to sell it to you, my dear. A long-standing tradition in my family is to make sure the women have something to hold on too not the men. My mother gave me the house when I got married though she still lived in it for some time. She wanted to make sure that I had something that I could

The pair drove in silence, and soon they were passing the house they were buying in the dim light of day. It was glowing there in the trees like a beacon that they would call home by the end of the week. He smiled as she sighed and pressed her face to the glass to look at it more as they drove past it. It was going to be their home.“Family dinner will be easy to get to.” He said with a chuckle.“For you.” She said with a laugh. “My family won’t be coming to dinner or us going over there too often.”“And why is that?” he asked.“Well, my family is slightly disconnected. The main part is I don’t want them thinking because I am with you, that means they can start asking you for things.” Paige said with a sigh.“And that means?” he asked.“Though I love my siblings very much, they have the worst ability to manage things and often find themsel

“I really don’t know how I should feel about this,” Milo said out of the blue as he looked at his computer later in the day. Paige was in the room, but she wasn’t working with him at the moment. She was keeping herself busy but also keeping an eye on him. He had quite the day already.“You should be happy but yet still a little leery of everything.” She said as she looked out the window. Her response was simple and straightforward. It was how she handled everything, including all of this, with him.“And you know this how?” he asked with a chuckle.“It is how I feel with everything that has happened to us.” She said as she turned around as she looked into his face as she spoke.“You don’t think that you should be happy?” he asked as he stood up and walked over to her. He looked down into her blue eyes and got lost for a moment in them. He was wondering

Paige walked out and looked between the two men standing there. Milo was looking at his father, and she knew he had so many questions to ask. She went to her area and took a seat as she let them talk. As the two left the hallway to go into the office, they left the door open. They knew that she would stop anyone from coming in, and they could discuss whatever with the knowledge she would keep their secrets. She was after all a part of this.“I have one question,” Milo asked the old man as he sat down on the couch, and Milo went to one of the chairs near it. Milo didn’t really know how to handle this conversation. It wasn’t something he was ever going to ask in the first place. Now everything was hinged on the answer his father would give.“And that is?” the old man asked as he raised his eyebrow.“Did you want me to know them?” Milo asked.“Know who?” the old man

When they walked into the office, Milo looked like he had gone through the wringer. Paige stopped when she walked in, and he closed the door. She didn’t see him turn the lock on the door, either. She just looked at his face. He was still completely shocked at what had just happened.Milo only wanted one thing at the moment, and that was her next to him. He pulled her closer and found the comfort of her tiny arms around him. He didn’t have to try to hold everything in though he still was in shock. He tipped her head up so he could see her eyes, and then he found her mouth with his own. There was a hunger there that neither of them could deny. The tension in him was surging through him. She could feel it as if it was a living being growing in him. She let him pull her along to the couch and then hiked her skirt up so she could straddle him. “I know you said, not here.” He whispered on his lips. “I just need
