Aurélie Tess Blackwood.

I tried to explain.

“Mr. Reynor, you have to believe when I say...”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go on. Feed me another bullshit excuse to defend your incompetence.” His voice was sharp, dismissive, like I wasn’t even worth listening to.

My chest tightened painfully.

“Okay.” I breathed out, trying desperately to calm myself, to keep my voice steady. “Whatever she told you isn’t true.”

“I didn’t bail out. I...”

“Well, that’s funny,” he cut me off, his voice rising. “Because from wh

  • Before He Was My Boss.   Chapter 33

    Donovan Reynor.I walked back into my office, not a care in the world.But the truth? The truth was that I was thinking of new ways to torture Aurélie. Because it seemed like the only effective way to get her out of my goddamn head.I knew damn well who’d sorted those minutes out.I knew it was her.Because I knew how she worked. And I hated to admit it, but I actually paid attention to her writing style and tone.Anyone with half a brain could tell that it was her. The thoroughness. The detail. The way every loophole was outlined with precision, every error highlighted with clarity.Something none of my past secretaries could give me.Not even close.I knew the redhead always had a personal vendetta against whoever became my secretary. Always had. It was pathetic, really. Some twisted jealousy that made her sabotage anyone who sat at that desk outside my office.And I knew that the only person who would break a bone, the only person who’d go that far to get that ridiculous amount of

I...”“Well, that’s funny,” he cut me off, his voice rising. “Because from what I heard, you didn’t do a thing all day. She sorted out the files. She outlined the details. She got the job done! And you?” He gestured sharply toward the door. “What were you doing? Where were you when I walked in?”Each word hit me like a physical blow.“Mr. Reynor, it really didn’t happen like...”“I don’t care how it happened, Secretary!” He slammed his hand on the desk, and I flinched.“You disappointed me. Again. At least one way or another, the job was done.”I stood there, frozen, hea

  • Before He Was My Boss.   Chapter 31

    Aurélie Tess Blackwood “Miss Aurélie Blackwood?”A female voice called out—sharp, immediate, surprisingly rude.I looked up from my desk, already exhausted even though the day had barely even started.“That’s me,” I said, my voice flat.The next thing I knew, she was piling huge boxes onto my desk.One box. Then another. Then another. Then a fourth. And then a fifth. A finally a sixth.Each one landed with a heavy thud that made my coffee cup rattle.Great.“Hate to say this, Miss Blackwood, but I’ll have to work with you today,” she said, her tone dripping with disdain. “And it’s not a pleasure working with the most incompetent, privileged secretary in this company.”I blinked.“I’m sorry, a privileged what now?” I snapped, stunned by the sudden audacity.“You heard me.”Unbelievable.I let out a shaky laugh, trying desperately to calm myself before I said something I’d regret. “I’m sorry, do I... do you know me from somewhere? Did I offend you? Do I know you?”Because what did she

  • Before He Was My Boss.   Chapter 30

    Aurélie Tess Blackwood.I strained my eyes to open, squinting against the soft morning light filtering through unfamiliar windows.Everything around me was beige and clean. Too clean. Too polished.Where am I?I blinked a few times, trying to clear the fog from my brain, and slowly, painfully, my mind started to piece things together.The dream.Oh God, the dream!I groaned into my pillow, pressing my face deep into the fabric as embarrassment crashed over me in waves so intense I thought I might actually die from it.The dream had been so vivid. So real.I could still feel the phantom weight of his body on mine. I could still hear his voice, rough, commanding, devastating.“This what you want?””You’re mine now.”And the things I’d said. The things I’d begged for. “Please, Donovan... please... I need your cock inside me...”“Oh my God,” I whispered into the pillow. “I can’t. I can’t.”I wanted to block it out immediately, to pretend it had never happened, to bury the memory so deep it

  • Before He Was My Boss.   Chapter 29

    Donovan Reynor.Blood gushed in my ears, loud, daring, drowning out every rational thought I had left.I was ready to rip her apart.She’d been asking for it all night anyway.The teasing, the touches, the way she looked at me with those eyes that promised everything if I dared make a move.So the moment she pulled me down onto that bed with her, I thought, “This is it.”This was the moment I stopped fighting, stopped pretending, stopped denying what we both wanted.I was ready to protest with the very last shred of professionalism I had left, but she quickly placed a finger on my mouth.“Shhh, you talk too much.”And just like that, she fell asleep.It happened out of nowhere.One second she was looking at me with those half-lidded, alcohol-glazed eyes, her lips parted, her breathing shallow.The next, she was out cold. Completely and utterly asleep.I stared down at her in disbelief.Are you fucking kidding me?I was infuriated. At her. Because how could she start something she coul

  • Before He Was My Boss.   Chapter 28

    Aurélie Tess Blackwood.My tipsy ass was sure as hell going to land me in trouble.But I wasn’t exactly drunk. Not completely, anyway.I had some of my wits about me. I knew what I was doing. I knew exactly what I wanted.And what I wanted was to be as close to Mr. Reynor as humanly possible.So I took the opportunity the minute it presented itself. I cut Mr. Reynor off right in the middle of rejecting the arrangement for our rooms to be close together.“It’s fine,” I’d said quickly, my voice firmer than it should have been given how much alcohol was pulsing through my veins.And then it was time to leave.I’d been terrified, yes. Terrified of overstepping. Terrified of crossing a line I couldn’t uncross.But my body had a different agenda entirely.Because being that close to him meant something different. Something primal. Something totally out of my control.I felt that tingling feel of arousal, surging through my body, mostly because of the alcohol, yes, but also because of him.A

    I honestly didn't know it was morning.I stirred from sleep, confused, disoriented, trying to comprehend where I was. Nothing made sense. The light was too harsh, flooding through floor-to-ceiling windows that shouldn't have been there, but was. The air smelled wrong, sterile, formal, laced with th

    Aurélie Tess Blackwood.I didn’t need anyone to point it out for me to know.The client. Mr. Ross.He sat in a reserved corner of the restaurant, and there was absolutely nothing cheap about the place. It was exquisite in the kind of way that made you suddenly aware of every flaw in your outfit. Ja

    Aurélie Tess Blackwood.I could have yelled at him. Said my piece.But what good would it do?His mind was already made up, and there was nothing I could do about it. No argument I could make and no defense I could offer. He’d decided I was a distraction, and that was that.I hated it. I hated ever

    Donovan Reynor.I sat at my desk, staring at the contract in front of me without reading a single word.My mind was stuck on yesterday. Replaying it on a loop I couldn’t shut off.The restaurant. The jazz. The low lighting.And her sitting across from Ross, smiling. Laughing. That bright, unrestrai
