Colt stood in the center of his bedroom, the thick white towel still knotted at his hips. He didn't move. He just stared at the spot where Lauren had stood moments before, his heart hammering against his ribs like a drum.

Walking out of the bathroom and seeing Lauren standing there, small and lost in his massive room, had felt unreal. It had done something to him. He couldn't shake the memory of her gaze dragging down his chest, the way her breath had hitched, or the soft, unconscious bite she gave her lower lip when she was flustered.

His body responded before his brain could protest. He felt a twitch below his waist. "Fuck," he hissed, scrubbing his face with a hand.

He spun around and marched into his walk-in closet, moving with frantic speed, as if speed could shake the feeling off. He snatched a deep red polo shirt, tugging it over his head, and pulled on a pair of cargo shorts. He didn’t bother overthinking it; his mind was already crowded.

Was she lost again?

  • Falling For My Boss   Chapter 73: One Drink Too Late

    Colt sprinted out of the Baker Global building. He arrived at the car park just in time to see the taillights of Madison’s red sports car speeding around the corner. She was driving like a lunatic, weaving through cars without a care for anyone else.“Shit!” he hissed, scrambling into his own car and jamming the key into the ignition. The engine roared to life, and he peeled out of the parking lot, his tires chirping against the asphalt, his jaw clenched as he kept his eyes fixed on her taillights. “Why does she always do this?” he snapped, hitting the steering wheel with his palm. He didn't want to be chasing a woman who had just threatened to end her life.But then he saw Grant’s face in his mind. The man had looked pale, aged by a decade in a single second. Grant had been like a father to him after his own was gone. He couldn't let the man’s only daughter drive onto a bridge because of a mess he helped create.“Pick up, Madison! Pick up!” Colt roared, pressing the speakerphone but

  • Falling For My Boss   Chapter 72: No One Walks Away Clean

    “Madison!” Grant’s voice boomed. He slammed his palms onto the mahogany desk and shoved his chair back so hard the wheels screeched against the floor. “What the hell are you doing here? This is a private meeting!”Madison didn’t flinch. She walked farther into the office as if she owned it, her heels clicking sharply against the floor. She moved around the desk and stopped beside her father, close enough to touch him.“Daddy,” she said, her voice dropping into a sweet purr. She looked up at him with wide, fake-innocent eyes. “I came to make sure you weren't letting this... this traitor talk you into another mistake.”Grant looked down at her, his jaw working so hard a vein throbbed in his temple. “How did you even know he was here, Madison? I told my staff no interruptions.”Madison let out a sharp, mocking laugh and rolled her eyes. “Please. Do you really think I’d let my future husband sneak into your office without me knowing?”Grant’s face hardened. “Are you spying on me in my own

  • Falling For My Boss   Chapter 71: The Cost of Honesty

    Colt slid into his car and slammed the door. He couldn't start the engine. He just sat there, his hands white-knuckled as he gripped the steering wheel.Logan’s building loomed in front of him. That meeting was supposed to be his salvation. Instead, he’d walked right into a trap set by the man Lauren had once loved.He leaned his head back against the headrest and closed his eyes. His chest felt hollow, like someone had reached inside and ripped out his heart, leaving nothing but a cold, aching hole.If he had known.If he had known the CEO was her ex-fiancé, he never would have walked in with a smile on his face. He felt like a fool, a desperate, blind one.He exhaled roughly and rubbed his face. His phone lay silent on the passenger seat, heavy with options he did not want to touch. But there was one last thing he had been avoiding doing.Colt picked up the phone. His thumb hovered as he scrolled through his contact list, his heartbeat thudding in his ears. Grant Baker’s name stare

  • Falling For My Boss   Chapter 70: The Price of Love

    Colt felt the air leave his lungs as if he had been kicked in the stomach. The office was dead silent, the only sounds the faint hum of the air conditioner and the thudding of his own heart.“Leave Lauren?” Colt finally whispered, the words tasting like poison on his tongue. He let out a sharp, jagged laugh that held no joy. He shook his head, staring at Logan as if Logan had suddenly grown a second head. “You can’t be serious. You’re standing here, in your expensive suit, in your fancy office, trying to buy a woman, a human being?”“I am very serious,” Logan said, standing behind his desk, his eyes fixed on Colt’s face. “Don't twist my words. I’m not buying her, Colt. I’m rescuing her from you.”Colt’s blood turned to fire. He slammed his palms onto the desk, the sound echoing through the room. He leaned in until their faces were inches apart. “Do you realize what you’re asking? She is pregnant with my child."“I am very aware,” Logan replied calmly. “The whole world knows, Colt. Eve

  • Falling For My Boss   Chapter 69: The Price of Letting Go

    “What the hell are you talking about?” Colt asked, his voice sharp, confusion cutting through him.The man didn’t flinch. He stood his ground, his jaw shifting as he ground his teeth together. His eyes weren't just cold anymore; they burned with raw hatred. “I’m talking about Lauren,” he hissed. “The woman you stole from me."Colt’s eyebrows pulled together. He felt a sickening crawl of suspicion move up his spine, settling at the base of his skull. He took a slow step forward, his expensive leather shoes clicking on the polished floor. “I don’t understand,” he said, the words coming out slow and dangerous. “How do you know her?"Logan’s chest rose as he drew in a deep, shaky breath. He adjusted the lapel of his suit jacket, a movement far too calm for the fire in his eyes. “I’m Logan,” he said. "Lauren’s fiancé.”The words hit like a punch.Colt shut his eyes tight. He dragged his hands down his face, his palms rough against his skin, trying to ground himself before he did something

  • Falling For My Boss   Chapter 68: The Door That Slams Shut

    Colt was already dressed and ready to leave the house, his fingers trembling from a mix of caffeine and raw nerves. He stood before the full-length mirror, but he didn't see a billionaire. He saw a man holding a crumbling empire together with his bare hands.His phone buzzed on the dresser, vibrating against the wood. He snatched it up and checked the screen. It was Alex.He answered immediately.“Hey!” Alex’s voice came through bright and easy. “Just calling to check in. Today’s the big day, right? The Quantum merger meeting with the CEO?”Colt closed his eyes and let out a long, ragged breath. He leaned his forehead against the cool glass of the mirror. “Yeah, Alex. If this doesn't go through, the board is going to have my head on a stake. The headlines about Lauren have already wiped five percent off our stock.”“You’ll be fine,” Alex said, his tone turning serious. “I’ve heard the new CEO is a reasonable guy. He likes winners, and you’re the biggest one I know. Call me when you’ve
