Before He Was My Boss. Chapter 113
Donovan Reynor.I pulled up to her house, and the moment I saw her step through the door, something caught hard in my chest, sharp enough that a tear almost slipped free before I could stop it.She had no right to be that stunning.But there she was anyway, walking toward the car in a deep emerald dress that caught the streetlight in ways that made my mouth go dry.When she closed the distance between us, I took her hand and pressed an open-mouthed kiss against her knuckles. “You’re stunning in that dress.”“Thank you.” Her cheeks flushed a soft pink. “You look really breath-taking yourself. Maybe just a little something for the final touch.”She leaned in, pressing her lips against my left cheek, leaving behind the faint mark of her lip gloss and the warm impression of her mouth.I wore it with pride. Shamelessly. Like I’d achieved something rare and worth flaunting.“Thank you,” I managed, trying to contain the ridiculous amount of excitement building in my chest.*****Aurélie Tess

They were moving forward with the next project, as decided by the board. It should have been something different, a plan that had been sitting pending for over six months, something the executive team had flagged as urgent more than once. But somehow, in the way boardrooms sometimes defied all logic, they'd voted instead on a project that had been abandoned years ago, shelved and forgotten in some archive nobody bothered opening anymore.There wasn't time to prepare for it. The meeting had been called almost impromptu, and I had no idea what the project actually entailed, its history, its original scope, or why it had been scrapped in the first place. But I knew instinctively, from the way the room shifted the moment it came up, that it had to be something significant.So I sat there and took notes the way I always did. Key points. Dates. Names that mattered. Anything I'd need to memorize later, just in case someone asked me to recall it on the spot.Half an hour later, it was decided

I got to work the next morning still riding the residual warmth of everything that had happened last night with Addie and Julia. It was fun but the body sores came after from all the shouting, dancing and drinking.I’d barely settled into my chair, barely gotten my laptop open, when the intercom buzzed sharply.“Miss Blackwood, my office. Now.”I raised an eyebrow at the tone, professional and clipped, the same voice he’d used with me back when we were nothing more than boss and secretary. Old habits, apparently, died hard, even now.I grabbed my notepad out of instinct, still not fully awake, and made my way to his office.The moment I stepped through the door, he was already on me, enveloping me in a hug so tight it nearly knocked the breath out of my lungs, one hand reaching back to lock the door behind us in the same fluid motion.“I missed you,” he murmured against my hair. “I couldn’t sleep. I kept reaching for you and you weren’t there.”“You’re dramatic.”“Maybe.” He pulled b

We were already seated in the conference room, waiting, when the door swung open.A bald-headed man walked in first, properly dressed in a sharp suit, with sharper eyes. Behind him trailed a younger assistant clutching a leather portfolio, and behind them both were two bodyguards, guns visible in their holsters beneath their jackets.“Mr. Reynor.” The man extended his hand.“Mr. Jack.” Donovan rose, taking the handshake firmly, matching the pressure without flinching.The meeting opened with a barrage of questions — the history of the asset, how Donovan had come into possession of it, why he’d pursued it so relentlessly at auction. Donovan answered every single one without hesitation, composed and unshaken. He explained that he’d had his eye on Grey Estate for years, not because of any single defining feature, but because of its age. Old meant provenance. Old meant scarcity. And scarcity, in his world, meant value beyond measure. Everyone wanted a piece of that legacy. So had he. And

Aurélie Tess Blackwood POVIt was 1:24 PM. Thirty-six minutes until Donovan's meeting with the Head of the DOI for the purchase of Grey Estate.Today was the day his months of effort finally paid off. After weeks of manoeuvring, after outbidding Rand, after everything he'd sacrificed to secure it — the deal would finally close.I was prepping ahead of time, because this was supposedly the biggest contract Reynor Corporations would close all year. I had to be prepared. I made sure everything he needed was intact — every slide reviewed twice, every talking point highlighted, the presentation formatted exactly the way he preferred it, clean, minimal, with no unnecessary clutter.About ten minutes later, I'd finished. I stretched, reaching into my bag for my charger, and when I straightened back up to face my laptop, a figure was standing directly in front of my desk.I froze. My soul nearly left my body on the spot."Aurélie, hi.""Jesus, Julia. You scared the shit out of me.""I'm so so

The kiss was not frantic. It was deliberate, heavy with everything we had spent months refusing to name. Her mouth moved against mine like she was reclaiming what she had always known belonged to her, and I answered with the same quiet desperation. Every press of her lips carried a known weight. Passion lived in the way her tongue met mine—not demanding, but inviting, as if she were asking me to reach for her in this new territory where running was no longer an option. Intimacy threaded through the softness of it, the way she lingered, the way her breath hitched when I finally stopped holding back and poured every unspoken apology into the kiss. It felt less like touching and more like finally arriving somewhere I had been afraid to claim.When she broke away, it was only to trail her mouth to the sensitive skin just below my ear. She kissed the lobe first, soft, then took it between her teeth and bit gently. A full-body shiver ripped through me. I had never known that particular spot
