"I’m Lorenzo Casello” he said, taking in the crowd. “Welcome to VI Tech. I didn’t get to where I am today by fucking around.” He let the titters and whispers die down before he continued. “Or by fucking up"Lorenzo couldn’t claim to know every single one of his employees. The company was too massive for that. But he could tell the interns by their shock. Their furtive glances around the auditorium. No one expected the CEO of a multibillion dollar company to casually drop a couple of fucks while addressing everyone.The employees who had been here for a while already knew the routine.“I will never bullshit you,” he continued, scanning the audience, watching for flinches at the language. “I expect the same respect from all of you. I don’t care who you are.”His eyes fell — and lingered — on a woman in the crowd. She had to be one of the new cohorts of interns. He would’ve noticed her before otherwise. She was … exquisite. It was the only word that suited those long legs, gleaming in the

“And what are you doing here at VI Tech, Lilith Rumero?” Lorenzo asked with a smile that … did things to her breasts. He was so handsome, not a black hair out of place, his suit clinging to his shoulders, perfectly tailored. Lilith flushed as she unwillingly recalled what she knew to be under that suit: muscles for days. she had seen his spread in Rolling Stone. Fine. she had obsessed over his spread in Rolling Stone, clipping the photo of him on the phone poolside, shirt unbuttoned and parted by the wind and a chest that looked like it was chiseled from marble. It had a place of honor on the wall in her dorm.“I, um.” Come on, Lilith, get it together! “It’s the first day of my internship. Project management.” she mentally slapped herself.“So tell me what you know about my company,” Lorenzo repeated again, his piercing eyes pinning her in place. They were scary blue. Coupled with the translation of his last name, they were part of the reason people called him the “Wolf of the Web.”T
Corky Bastard Chapter Three
Enzo's body responded almost helplessly to the feel of a woman in his arms. That’s how he knew he had gone too long between fucks.He had fantasized for years about how best to exact his revenge on Aron Rumero, and here was his daughter, falling right into his lap to take advantage of.It almost made him want to forgive her father for somehow spawning a woman as beautiful as Lilith.Almost.But even the press of her full breasts against his chest wasn’t enough to make him forget everything Aron had done to him. To his family.That was something he would never forget. Could never forget — even if he wanted to.A tiny sound brought him back to the present. Lilith. She had cleared her throat, reminding him that he still had his arms around her. This close, Enzo could see the color of her eyes. He had thought they had looked dark when he had first seen her from the stage, but now he realized that they were shot through with honey — just a little darker than the color of her curls. They w

“Things have been … interesting,” Lilith said a little faintly, studying his mouth as if she could read Enzo's mind. “Unexpected. I’m grateful, above all, that I even have this opportunity. Especially to be your intern. It’s just …”“What?”“Why me?” She lifted her eyes to meet his. Enzo couldn’t take his eyes off her, least of all when her tongue darted out to wet her lips in what had to be a show of nerves, he could think of a whole list of things he wanted that tongue to do for him.“Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth,” he told her, entranced by each micro movement she made in spite of her best efforts to stand her ground. The way her nostrils flared as she breathed faster, or how her long eyelashes brushed her heated cheeks. How she trembled slightly, even as she clutched her notebook to her chest. “I don’t regularly take interns under my wing. Too busy.”“Again, I’m grateful.” Those golden eyes challenged him. “I’m just curious about what my role will be. What expectations you

My brother,” Enzo muttered to Lilith, “Have you heard that one before?”“Not for a very long time,” she said diplomatically.“Do you have anything you need to retrieve from your previous manager?” he asked her. “Any personal belongings?”“I pretty much have everything,” she said, patting nonexistent pockets on the sides of her skirt, then having the presence of mind to look embarrassed about it. She was so awkward it was almost endearing.Enzo growled aloud at yet another intrusive thought, and Lilith took a step back, eyes widening. Where were these fucking ideas coming from? His focus was legendary. It was how he had created his empire. And somehow, the woman he was going to use like a tool to get the revenge he deserved seemed to be slowly unraveling him.“Then get my secretary to show you where you’ll be sitting — and how to use the espresso machine, for that matter,” he said, effectively dismissing her. “My brother and I will each take a cup. Get yourself whatever you want.”The

“I only know a few words,” she said. “Just the basics. I, um.” Lilith coughed self-consciously. “I was a pretty big fan of this company for a long time. I might’ve learned a few words as a hobby.”“Well, that calls for a demonstration,” Alexei said, always ready to cause trouble. “Let’s hear it, kotyonok.”“Alexei.” Enzo scowled at him, feeling oddly possessive. “I won’t warn you again.”“Is there something wrong with the word ‘kitten?’” Lilith asked, puzzled.“Term of endearment,” Alexei informed her cheerfully, and she looked like she was ready for the floor to open up and swallow her whole. “Don’t be shy. Share what you learned.”She took a deep breath. “Privyet, shlyukha.”Enzo's brother howled with laughter. “Hey, slut!” he translated, holding his stomach with mirth. “That’s what you learned?”“Oh, no,” Lilith moaned softly. “I thought it was a casual greeting.”This woman was full of surprises.**************“Welcome home!” Lora, her roommate, sang as Lilith crashed in the door
Corky Bastard Chapter Seven
“I don’t want him on the wall anymore,” Lilith said, feeling childish and not caring one bit, she has been treated like a child all day, anyway, at best. And at worst, she had been treated like an object.This was nothing like what she had imagined for this internship. It felt stupid, now, how excited she has been for it. How much she idolized Enzo Casello and everything his company stood for.Maybe the saying about avoiding meeting your heroes was true.“But you love this photo,” Lora said. “What changed between this morning and right now?”"This morning i had...." wow, this was embarrassing to admit, especially after the day she had kissed the photo for good luck.“Everything,” Lilith groaned, grabbing two handfuls of her own hair and pulling.Lora slapped her hands away from her head. “You’d better tell me what happened.”The retelling took no more than ten minutes, which seemed ridiculous for the eternity of anguish she had endured today. By the end of it, she half expected Lor

" I know what’ll make you feel better,” Lora declared, flopping onto the edge of Lilith's bed with such force that she bounced upward. “It’s all-night happy hour at Spin. And 50 cent wings.”“Great, so I can be hungover for the second day of my internship?”“So you can decompress from your first day, and care less on your second day,” she corrected me. “Come on. You know it’s an awesome idea.”A couple of beers wouldn’t hurt, Lilith rolled off the bed and Becca cheered.Enzo Knowing that he would have Lilith Rumero as his plaything for the next few months actually made it hard to sleep at night for the first couple of weeks.He felt like a child waiting for Christmas morning.Only this wasn’t Christmas morning. This was a day of reckoning. An opportunity to finally get back at the man who had nearly cost him everything. It was much more than a grudge, as his brother accused him of having. Aron Rumero had actively tried to sabotage his fledgling company. Enzo had looked up to him as a
