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

Chapter: 41Charlie suggested that I ask Mum to meet me at the cafe across from our office building. It would be neutral ground and also not draw attention from my co-workers.Stepping inside the cafe, I felt like the walls were closing in on me. I didn't want to fight with my mother but I also didn't want her to push me around to get her own way. I’d kept my relationship with Charlie a secret from my parents out of fear they'd try to destroy this for me. My mother, especially, had always been weird about my wanting to date or even talk to boys. I wasn't allowed to go to parties as a teenager if boys were going to be there. If I had a crush on a boy I would keep it to myself, knowing it could never become anything more than a crush. My parents’ reaction when they met Charlie just proved I was right in keeping him secret from them. Now the truth was out and I don't know if they will ever accept my relationship. Mum was sitting alone at a booth down the back, her head buried in the menu so she d

Chapter: 40When I got to my office I started working on the artwork for our upcoming promotion. Our next campaign would begin in autumn, which meant changing the seasonal fruits we offer for Summer and creating a new menu. This was going to be my first menu update since joining More and one of the most challenging tasks I’d had. Until now I had only done the social media posts and videos, this was far more in-depth. My mobile started ringing, distracting me from my task and when I looked down and saw it was my mother calling I groaned. I'd hadn't switched my phone back on until this morning and this was the reason why. I was still so angry with her and Dad over the way they'd treated Charlie on Saturday. I knew she wouldn't be calling to apologise for their behaviour because neither of them would ever consider their behaviour rude. This would be a call to try to guilt me into feeling bad about not staying for lunch. It was a conversation I just wasn't in the mood to have, especially with the

Chapter: 39CharlieRichard’s BMW was parked in my spot when I arrived at More. His way of asserting whatever authority he believed he had over me. I resisted the strong urge to run my key along his door, knowing that I'd be getting my revenge on him soon enough. He was like a disease slowly infecting my company. I hadn't noticed at first because I thought he was doing me a favour, but now I know he was trying to edge me out and make all of this his own. Kicking him out will be my greatest victory over him but I know that he won't go without a fight. Coming through the office entry I spot him walking toward the elevators, where Nortica is standing. The parking spot may have pissed me off but I won't allow him to creep all over my girl. I sprint toward them and wedge myself in front of Richard, pretending I'm dashing for the elevator. “Morning, Richard,” I greet my father, keeping my tone polite to disguise the fact that I want to tear his head off. “You’re late,” he replies, still trying to

Chapter: 38The fight from last night had stayed on my mind, well after it was over. Charlie had apologised for lying, and I told him I accepted his apology, but I couldn't shake the feeling that I’d lost trust in him. While Charlie slept soundly next to me, I tossed and turned, unable to shut my mind off. Was this the only lie he's told me? If I hadn't caught him out would he have confessed? These questions plagued me, every time I shut my eyes and tried to fall asleep. At dawn, I gave up trying to sleep and decided to take my mind off my problems by cooking us breakfast. I carefully snuck out of the bedroom, not wanting to wake Charlie, got dressed and wandered down to the street, where I had spotted a convenience store. As I gathered up ingredients to make pancakes from scratch, I soon realised how expensive convenience really was. The prices were three times more than I'd pay at the supermarket but I had no choice, this store was all there was near us. Our kitchen in the suite was huge a

Chapter: 37Charlie“What happened?” I ask Nortica when she returns to the terrace in a huff. She had been gone for so long that I was beginning to wonder if she had bailed on me. I was just about to go searching for her. “Dimity happened,” she says matter-of-factly, oozing anger as she works herself up. “She saw me go into the bathroom, then waited near the basins for me to come out so she could fill me in on who you really are.”Fuck! I thought I had this contained and under control. I didn't anticipate Dimity ambushing Nortica in the bathroom, the one place she knew that she could get to Nortica without me. “What did she tell you?” I ask, trying to sound like I don't care when, in reality, I'm shitting bricks. “Nothing I didn't already know,” my Goddess answers coldly. “You lied to me.”“We’re not doing this here,” I announce to her. I know this fight is about to kick off but I'm not giving Dimity or her arsehole co-worker the satisfaction of seeing they won. I had paid the bill while she

Chapter: 36Charlie obviously knew Dimity, our first waitress, but didn't want to talk about it with me. Was she someone he had on contract? A one-night stand? An old friend or was it just like he said, she knew his name because he dined here? The questions plagued me throughout the night, haunting my every thought but after the day we’d endured with my parents, I didn't want to start a fight and ruin the evening. If Dimity was someone from his past then, after we leave the restaurant, that's where she’d stay, in the past. I didn't need to know what happened between them, because it would only make me jealous. Charlie had to spend every working day with his past relationship shoved in his face so I could manage to get through dinner. I was grateful when we got a different waiter, even if he was a rude jerk. Whatever that guy's problem is, he shouldn't be working in the service industry. “That was delicious,” I announced to Charlie after taking my last bite of chicken.“Shall we order some d
