“Yes.”

The word hung between us, cold and final.

“Why?” I demanded.

He leaned back in his chair, his expression unreadable. “Because I said so.”

“That’s not an answer.”

“It’s the only one you’re getting.”

My hands curled into fists at my sides. I wanted to scream at him. I wanted to demand a real explanation. But something in his eyes told me I wouldn’t get one.

“Fine.” The word came out sharp, brittle. “If that’s how you want to play this.”

I turned and walked out, resisting the urge to slam the door behind me.

———

Day One.

I made it work.

I shoved my bag under the tiny desk and sat in the chair that barely fit between the wall and the door. The window…if you could call it that…let in a sliver of grey light that did nothing to make the space feel less suffocating.

My laptop took up most of the desk. I had nowhere to put my notebook. And nowhere to spread out documents. But I made it work.

Sarah from PR came by around ten to drop off my first assignment…it was a press releas

  • Craving My Mother's Hot Fiancé   Chapter 46

    ~Melissa~I practically floated through the front door, my body still humming with residual pleasure and anticipation.Tonight. He’d said tonight.Every inch of you.Heat pooled low in my belly at the memory of his text. After everything that had happened today…the accusation, the humiliation, the devastating orgasm in front of everyone…I should have been exhausted. Traumatized, even. But I liked it. Gavin was bringing out a side of me I didn’t even know existed.Instead, all I could think about was what Gavin would do to me when we were finally alone.I kicked off my heels and headed toward the stairs, already mentally planning what to wear. Something that would drive him crazy. Something he could rip off me.I paused when I saw my mom on the bottom step, her shoulders slumped, her perfectly styled hair falling loose around her face. She looked small. Fragile. Nothing like the confident woman who’d left for work this morning.It was like someone had poured ice water over my head.All

  • Craving My Mother's Hot Fiancé   Chapter 45

    Cassandra’s POVThe holding cell smelled like stale sweat and desperation.I sat on the metal bench, my designer dress wrinkled, my carefully styled hair falling loose around my face. My hands wouldn’t stop shaking.This wasn’t supposed to happen.This wasn’t how it was supposed to go.The plan was perfect. Frame the little bitch, get her fired, maybe even thrown in jail. Gavin would realize she was just another gold-digger trying to use him. He’d see that I was the only one who truly understood him. The only one worthy of standing by his side.But somehow…somehow…he’d known.The footage. That goddamn footage.How had I not known about the camera in my office? I’d checked. Multiple times. Swept for bugs, disabled the obvious security feeds.But he’d gotten me anyway.Because of course he had. Because Gavin Cross didn’t lose. Ever.I pressed my palms against my eyes, trying to stop the tears that had been threatening to fall since they’d shoved me into the police car.My career was ove

    ~Melissa~ Cassandra’s face had gone from pale to crimson. She stood abruptly, her chair scraping loudly. “This is…this is fabricated! Someone edited this footage…”“Sit down, Cassandra.” Gavin’s voice was ice.She didn’t sit. “I’m being framed! This is clearly manipulated…”“The metadata confirms the footage is unaltered.” Gavin gestured to the screen. “It was the original file. Original timestamp. Taken from your office security camera that you somehow forgot existed.”The vibration surged higher.My vision blurred. My legs trembled.Oh God. Oh God no.“That’s not…I never…” Cassandra’s voice pitched higher, desperate now. “You have to believe me, this isn’t…”“The man in the footage is Gerald Pierce,” Gavin continued calmly. “Former employee. Fired six months ago for embezzlement. He’s currently under investigation by the FBI.” He looked directly at Cassandra. “Did you really think we wouldn’t find the connection?”The toy pulsed in waves now. Strong. Overwhelming.I couldn’t hold b

    ~Melissa~The sting of the slap radiated across my cheek, hot and humiliating. Tears streamed down my face as the room erupted into chaos around me.“That’s completely inappropriate…”“Someone call HR…”“She deserved it, stealing from the company…”I couldn’t breathe. My vision blurred as shame and confusion crashed over me in waves.Then I heard the scrape of a chair against the floor.Gavin stood.The room fell silent instantly, as if someone had pressed mute on the entire world.He walked toward me with measured steps, his expression still unreadable. Cold. Detached.Cassandra’s lips curved into the faintest smile, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction.Gavin reached into his pocket.And then…Pleasure. Sharp, sudden, and overwhelming pleasure crashed through me without warning. The toy roared to life at full intensity, vibrating so powerfully I gasped and grabbed the edge of the table to keep my body from collapsing.My thighs clenched. My whole body tensed.No. No, not now. Not her

  • Craving My Mother's Hot Fiancé   Chapter 42

    ~Melissa~I couldn’t catch my breath.My body still hummed with aftershocks as I stood in Gavin’s private bathroom, gripping the marble counter for support. The toy had stopped vibrating…finally…but my nerves were shot from anticipation. From not knowing when he’d turn it back on.I cleaned myself up quickly, fixed my ponytail, reapplied my lipstick. My reflection looked almost normal. Almost.The walk to the conference room felt surreal. Each step was steady, controlled, but underneath I was acutely aware of what was inside me. Of what Gavin could do with a single press of a button hidden in his pocket.The conference room was already half full when I arrived. Marcus sat near the head of the table, reviewing something on his tablet. Sarah from PR was chatting with a few department heads. And Cassandra, I’d heard some people call her…sat perfectly poised in her navy dress, her expression serene.I took a seat and opened my notebook, determined to appear professional.Then Gavin walked

  • Craving My Mother's Hot Fiancé   Chapter 41

    Gavin’s POVI stared at the quarterly reports on my screen, the numbers blurring together into meaningless data.My mind was elsewhere. On Melissa.My mouth curved upward before I could stop it.“Sir?”I looked up. Marcus stood in the doorway, holding a stack of contracts, staring at me with an expression somewhere between confusion and concern.“Yes?”“Are you… smiling?”I straightened in my chair, wiping the expression from my face. “I’m not.”“You totally were.” Marcus stepped inside, setting the contracts on my desk. “I’ve worked for you for five years. I’ve seen you smile maybe three times. And never at financial reports.”“Your point?”“My point is…” He studied me carefully. “Are you okay? Should I be worried?”“I’m fine.”“Because the last time you smiled like that, you’d just destroyed someone comoany.And before that, it was when you fired that board member who tried to undermine you. So forgive me for being concerned when you’re sitting here grinning at spreadsheets.”“I wasn
