CARRIE

The moment the conference room doors shut behind the clients, a warm rush of relief and accomplishment washed through me. Emmet slapped my shoulder playfully, Kwame grinned, and Anders… Anders just watched me with that soft pride in his eyes that always caught me off guard.

“Well done, Carrie,” Emmet said as he and Kwame headed back toward their offices. “That pitch was flawless.”

Emmett pulled me into a brief hug. "You knocked it out of the park."

Kwame smirked. “I'm not surprised. You're a monster when it comes to pitches."

I laughed.

“Perfect,” Anders added, still lingering after the two men had left.

I exhaled, letting the adrenaline settle. “Thank you. I’m glad it went well.”

Anders tilted his head slightly when it remained just the two of us, studying me. “Walk with me?”

I nodded, curious about the glimmer in his eyes.

He didn't go in the direction of the offices, instead he led me towards the stairs. We took the stairs up to the rooftop garden; a small space the co-foun

    SHANEBy the time I walked into the conference room that afternoon it was late, much later than I had preferred to have this meeting. But I had been in meetings back to back since I arrived at work at 9 am. I took my seat at the head of the table. Our new CFO, Lowell, sat to my right, already flipping through the printouts that had been placed before each of us. On my left was Neil, one of the executive directors; young, arrogant, but brilliant in analytics.Rainbow Digitals waited on the other side of the table, three of them in a neat row. And Shelby, the same Shelby sat in the middle.She gave me a small, professional nod as I took my seat. No smile. No lingering expression. Just business. Somehow, that made the whole thing even more distracting.“Good evening, everyone,” she said as soon as I indicated the meeting could begin. Her voice was smooth, steady, perfectly controlled. “Thank you for having us. My name is Shelby Hart, senior project director for Rainbow Digitals. With m

    CARRIE I lay sprawled across his broad chest. The scent of sex and sweat hung heavy in the air, a testament to everything that just happened.“Come here.”The words, a low growl that vibrated from his chest where our bodies joined were the only warning before his lips found mine. The kiss wasn't gentle. It was possessive, and a domination. I could practically feel his heart hammering against his. He broke the kiss, his forehead resting against mine. His breath was warm on my slick lips. “I love you, Carrie Dalton,” he murmured, the words so soft they were almost lost in the humid space between us. “I will never let you go, my love.”The declaration, coming in the raw aftermath, unraveled something deep inside me. Before I could form a coherent thought, his hands were on my hips, firm and guiding. He turned me, my back now meeting the soft sheets where his own had been. The world tilted, the ceiling coming into focus, but all I could see was him hovering above me, his eyes dark with

    ANDERSI lifted her off the table, her body pliant and warm against my chest. She nestled her face into my neck, her breath a soft flutter against my skin. Mine. The word beat in time with my heart as I carried her through the dim hallway toward her bedroom. Months of wanting, of fantasizing, of how it was going to be had finally climaxed this night. Now I wanted her on the bed, to sink into the softness with her and lose myself in her again. She was nothing like I ever had before.I pushed the door open with my shoulder and crossed to the king-sized bed, lowering her gently onto the cool duvet. Her dark hair fanned out, her eyes heavy-lidded and sated. Beautiful. Utterly wrecked and beautiful. I moved to crawl over her, to claim that mouth again, to pick up where we’d left off.But she moved first.A flash of determination in her eyes. Her hands came up, palms flat against my chest, and she pushed. It wasn’t a gentle suggestion. It was a firm, deliberate no.I was so surprised I let

    CARRIE It went on and on, until I was a limp, boneless thing, trembling on the hard wood. He finally gentled, placing soft, kissing licks against my oversensitive flesh, soothing the aftershocks. He pulled back, his chin glistening. He looked up at me, his face a mask of my pleasure and absolute satisfaction.I could only stare, breathless, wrecked in the most beautiful way. Ghosh! I had forgotten how it used to be but now…now Anders had reawakened all that was dead in my body. He rose to his feet, his gaze never leaving mine. He brought his fingers, wet from me, to his mouth and sucked them clean, his eyes holding a dark, possessive fire.“So sweet,” he murmured, his voice hoarse. He leaned over me, bracing his hands on the table by my head. “You taste like heaven: just like I had imagined a thousand times.”He kissed me, deep and slow, letting me taste myself on his tongue. It was the most intimate thing I’d ever experienced in a very long time.“Now,” he said, his voice a low rum

    CARRIE Anders drove up my driveway and eased the car to a stop. The soft glow from the porch light spilled across the hood, and when he turned to look at me, his smile warmed me more than the heated seats ever could.“Here we are, my queen,” he murmured.My heart fluttered, he just started using that endearment and I loved it so much. It always felt gentle, warm, filled with an affection he never rushed or demanded.Tonight was our fourth date. Dinner first; light conversation, teasing smiles, shared bites of dessert then a movie that left both of us laughing like teenagers. It felt good. Natural. Easy. Something I had once believed was no longer possible for me.“I had a great time,” he said softly, studying my face as though trying to read something deeper behind my smile.I held his gaze. “I enjoyed it too.”Those words were true but not enough. Not for what I felt brewing inside me. So I pulled in a breath, steadying myself, and added, “Do you… want to come in for a nightcap?”Hi

    CARRIE Saturday midday unfolded gently, the kind of day that felt unforced and warm in ways that had nothing to do with the weather.We were at the grocery store together—Anders pushing the cart, me walking beside him with my phone in hand, checking off items, and Nancy a few steps ahead with Leo strapped securely to her front. The carrier looked slightly oversized on her slim frame, but she wore it like a badge of honor. Leo seemed completely content there, babbling and tugging at the strap of her sweater as though it belonged to him.“He’s clearly decided you’re his favorite person,” I said, smiling when Leo squealed as Nancy leaned down to whisper something into his ear.Nancy laughed. “I accept this responsibility.”We moved through the aisles slowly, no rush, no agenda beyond the simple act of being together. Anders picked out produce while I inspected labels and compared brands. Nancy stopped often, pointing out things Leo might like someday—tiny yogurt cups, jars of baby food,
