Tempting The Bad Boy
Claire Lions has three rules: work hard, stay out of drama, and never, ever trust Andy Stephenson.
For as long as she can remember, Andy has been the definition of trouble; loud, cocky, and always getting under her skin. She’s spent years avoiding him, convinced she knows exactly who he is. But when they’re thrown together on a project neither of them can escape, Claire starts to realize the boy she thought she hated might not be the villain she made him out to be.
Sparks fly, tempers flare, and somewhere between insults and accidental confessions, Claire begins to wonder if the real danger isn’t working with Andy, it’s falling for him.
Tempting The Bad Boy is a fiery, irresistible enemies-to-lovers romance about grudges that burn and chemistry that refuses to be ignored.

Chapter: Chapter 145ClaireWith no information on where we were going tonight, it made it harder to know how to dress. Andy had given me enough clues to know that it would be somewhere special, though, so I felt the need to get fancy.I'd bought a long, black, sparkly dress on sale a month earlier and had been waiting for the perfect occasion to wear it. The spaghetti straps crisscrossed at the back, holding the dress in place without me having to worry about constantly pulling the straps up.I loosely curl my dark hair and pin back the front pieces, letting my tenth fall down my back. I spritz myself with the sweet-scented perfume that Andy got me for Christmas and step into my silver heels.Andy had chosen to wear a long-sleeved, white button-up shirt, black dress pants and a navy blue tie. He hates wearing a tie, even though he has to put one on every day for work. He was wearing it for me because he knows how sexy I think he looks when he's dressed up.His eyes go wide when he sees me coming down the

Chapter: Chapter 144Claire7 Years LaterChanging out of my scrubs and back into my own clothing felt like a mammoth effort. I was exhausted and looking forward to just crawling into my bed and sleeping off the horrendous night shift. Brixton Regional Hospital may be smaller than the major hospital in Claremont, but that didn't stop the influx of emergencies we get every day.Normally, I'd get a chance to doze throughout the night, in between one chaotic trauma and the next, but last night was hectic. The older doctors joke that the full moon increases the crazy activity, and after last night, I was beginning to believe that this wasn't a joke at all. Especially when a guy was admitted with a knife lodged in his head.I wouldn't give up my job for anything, though. I loved the excitement of surgery to never trade it for any other job.My entire body ached, from my tired, heavy feet all the way up to my hair follicles. Every step I took felt like I was sinking deeper into quicksand. The exit appeared like

Chapter: Chapter 143Andy"Your Honour, over the past year, I've come to know Andrew quite well. I'll admit, at first, I painted him as just another thug who would sooner or later offend again. I wrote him off, assuming he'd eventually end up in prison ." The detective's assessment of me is an unexpected punch to the gut. I knew he didn't like me when we first met, but I had no idea he thought I was destined to end up behind bars. "Then I got to know him and I soon realised that Andrew was not a book that you could judge just by scanning the cover. He proved himself extremely intellectual, driven and determined to turn his life around."Judge Shepard pauses to jot down notes after the detective has finished speaking, and I'd give anything to be able to read what she wrote."I'm curious about how you came to cross paths with Mr Stephenson? Why was a detective looking to a man who had a record?" The judge's tone is accusing, like she believes that the detective is hiding something, because why else would he

Chapter: Chapter 142AndyDetective Layton's confidence in me winning today helped settle my nerves. He was ready to back me all the way because he believed in me, even when I didn't believe in myself.My parents were watching outside the courthouse, along with Veronica, Sam, Claire, Gabby and Nate. I know Ed would have been here too if he weren't on his honeymoon. My mother had insisted that I wear the suit I bought for Ed's wedding, even though it was a warm day and I was sweating like a waterfall.Claire came running up to me as Detective Leyton and I approached the courthouse steps. Her floral sundress was bright and cheery, which I hoped was a positive omen for the day. She'd been my lucky charm since we got together, helping Ed and me sort out our friendship. I know she couldn't stand beside me in the courtroom, but having her in the same room was all I needed."How are you feeling?" She asks me. We were up most of the night, texting back and forth until the early hours, so she understands where my

Chapter: Chapter 141AndyEvery year, my mother announces on the first day of Spring that it's the season of new beginnings, and this morning was no different. I usually just roll my eyes and mutter under my breath that Spring will be just like every other fucking season, but today I wanted to have faith in her prediction.The last time I stood in front of a magistrate, I was shit scared that I'd be sentenced to prison for my crime. I pleaded guilty and held my breath as the judge handed me a lucky break in the form of a good behaviour bond. I promised not only myself but also my parents that I'd keep my nose out of trouble, that I'd attend the school I openly mocked for years, and I'd never, ever do anything that would land me in Claremont Courthouse again.I was breaking that last promise, tempting fate to have my record dropped. I thought it would be a simple win or lose, either the judge would review my case, taking into account my school attendance and grades, then make the decision to wipe my record

Chapter: Chapter 140ClaireUpon hearing this, a smile spreads across his face, and I can feel him growing harder, and I massage him over his pants."You're more than just a fantasy, you're my everything." He tells me. I unbuckle his belt and slip my hand inside his pants, my fingers gripping around his shaft as I slowly stroke him."Tell me what you fantasised about while you watched me." I purr in his ear as he undoes the button on his pants and lets them fall to the floor. He pushes his briefs down and gives me full access to his glorious dick."I imagined what your tits would be like, but my fantasy was nothing compared to the reality, you're so perfect." He groans, closing his eyes. His hips thrust gradually as I pump him, getting faster. "I had no idea what sex felt like, but I still imagined being inside you, fucking you."My panties are soaked, and I want him so badly. I guide him back towards the bed, a bed I never imagined I'd be fucking him in."Why just dream about it when you can have it," I

My Billionaire Boss’ Dirty Secret
"Call me only as Sir, or I will spank you hard." He continues, moving his lips down to my neck. The heat from his touch is like an inferno that builds inside me.

As the company’s marketing manager, she should keep her distance. But his authority extends far beyond the boardroom, and every order, every glance, every quiet moment behind closed doors reminds her how easily she gave him her control.
Because beneath the tailored suits and culinary fame is a man who thrives on dominance and a dirty secret that could destroy his empire if exposed.
She should walk away.
Instead, she’s tempted to submit again.
And this time, the cost of giving in could be far more than her heart.

Chapter: 63CharlieI can be friends with her; it's got to be better than nothing. I'm a great friend, the best. There's just one problem, I've never actually been just friends with a woman before. Every girl I've ever been friends with I've ended up sleeping with. It's not intentional, it just sort of happens and then becomes super awkward afterwards, killing the friendship. Alright, I'm a bad friend, a really, really bad friend. But I'm friends with Kat. We have an amazing friendship where she calls me on my shit and we share inside jokes. That friendship only exists though because she’s married to my best friend, Rowan. I’m fucked. I agreed to being friends with Nortica but I know I'll always want more. I want what we were before and I'm scared that I'm going to overstep and fucked this up and lose her again.I just need to put some distance between us, not stand so close to her and avoid the break room when I know she’ll be in there. Well, that was what my brain told me to do. Do I liste

Chapter: 62Look I didn't expect Charlie to be so forthcoming with what led him to sleep with Francesca. I thought he'd just brush me off to avoid telling the truth, just like he did when we were together. When I realised he was genuinely being honest I couldn't help but wonder if this was just a power play, to try and win me back. I had to make it clear that we’re done, that his honesty, now, doesn't change our outcome.“I didn’t tell you the truth about Fran because I was hoping to gain from it,” he says, his face looking pained as he concentrates on the road. “I have nothing left to lose now.”I'd been strengthening my heart for weeks, making it an unbreakable, strong muscle but damn it that near cracked through. “You have your clubs and More,” I remind him and he throws a look at me like I'm crazy. “You think I give a shit about my businesses? Over you?” he asks, the tension between us building. “You only came home because your company was at risk,” I point out to him and he shakes his he

Chapter: 61CharlieSo she is rejecting special treatment? Well, this will make it harder to get back into her good graces and win her over. I love a challenge though, it's what drew me to her in the first place and I believe that nothing easy is worth going after. Being in the same room as her is like being an alcoholic, returning from rehab and going to a bar. She is the one thing I crave and I want her so badly that it makes my dick twitch just gazing at her beauty but I can't have her. I'm tormented, just being this close to her, breathing in her intoxicating scent, wanting to unravel her braid and run my fingers through her golden, blonde hair. I haven't had sex in two months, my longest period of abstinence and seeing her again, looking every bit the Goddess I remember, has me pent up and frustrated. What makes it worse is that her anger towards me just turns me on more. Whenever she yells at me my brain reminds me of that night we had that huge fight because of Dimity, how phenomenal th

Chapter: 60Once security has escorted Richard out and Jennifer has finalised the termination paperwork, it's just Charlie, Josh and me left in the boardroom. There's this awkward silence that lingers between the three of us. Josh keeps looking at me, then at Charlie as if willing one of us to speak but neither of us does. I have so much that I want to say to him, two months' worth of built-up anger, frustration and endless questions that plagued me but I'm not going first. “Well, I should get into the monthly reports,” Josh says, I know he's just making up an excuse to leave but I won't call him on it. “We can catch up later, maybe have lunch together?” Charlie suggests to Josh and me that we curse him in my head. Josh is my lunch buddy, how dare Charlie come back here and steal him away from me? “Sounds good, I'll send you a text,” he replies as he gets up. He puts his hand on my shoulder, a simple act of support to show me that he's still my friend too. My body tenses up the moment Josh

Chapter: 59I wrote my resignation letter while I ate my breakfast. I know I could file a sexual harassment claim against Richard but it would be his word against mine and I really don't want to drag this out. I decided that I’ll just take sick leave for my two-week notice period, allowing me time to search for another job. This is the part that I'm dreading, I haven't worked at More long and, without a reference from a previous employer, my chances of finding another marketing position are slim. I guess there's always The Fruit Barn to fall back on. Dad would hire me again but that would mean I'd have to explain to my parents why I quit, which would also lead to me having to confess that I broke up with Charlie. I know I'd have to tell them about the break-up eventually but for now I just didn't want to give them the satisfaction of knowing they were right about Charlie. I was hoping I would be able to put off telling them the truth until at least Christmas. Maybe my unemployment status will

Chapter: 58Charlie“Alright, talk,” I demand of Dr Fuckface once we have our drinks and are seated in a corner of the hotel bar. He takes a swig of his craft beer, leaving me to wonder if he's purposely dragging this out. What if he tells me she has moved on? She's gorgeous and would have a line-up of men who would love to ask her out. I swish the whisky around in my glass as I wait for him to get on with whatever he needs to tell me. My patients wearing thin.The bar is almost empty, apart from a group of girls who are seated in the middle. Their loud laughter as they browse the cocktail menu, reminds me of Nortica and her friends. “She knows you didn't cheat on her,” Benji says, cutting through the memory I was having of the night I suggested Nortica try a Sex on the Beach cocktail. “She knows because I provided her proof,” I huff, feeling like I'm on trial for a crime I never committed. “She wouldn't have believed me otherwise.”I'm still hurt that Nortica thought I would cheat on her t
