The last note lingered in the room long after Serena lifted her fingers from the keys.

For a moment, nobody spoke. The silence wasn't awkward. It felt full. Like the music was still there somehow, floating between them. Serena looked down at her hands. She hadn't played in months. Not properly. Not since life had become a constant cycle of responsibilities and worries. Yet somehow she'd forgotten all of that while sitting at the piano.

The realization made her smile slightly.Then Lia threw herse

  • HER BOSS,HIS DESIRE    Chapter Twelve _A Thought That Wouldn't Leave

    "You like him."Serena nearly dropped the phone.For a moment, she was too shocked to respond.Then she let out a disbelieving laugh."Mira.""I'm serious.""You've lost your mind.""I haven't.""You have."Mira's laughter echoed through the phone.The sound was familiar. Comforting.Because whenever her younger sister sounded this confident, it usually meant she had already decided she was right. And unfortunately, she often was."You should hear yourself whenever you talk about him.""I do not talk about him.""You literally just said his name three times.""That is not talking about him.""It absolutely is."Serena pinched the bridge of her nose. This conversation was going exactly where she did not want it to go. Thankfully, a voice called from somewhere behind Mira."Oh, hold on."Serena heard movement. A door closing. Then Mira returned."Sorry.""What happened?""Nothing important."The answer came too quickly.Serena narrowed her eyes."Mira.""What?""What are you hiding?""No

  • HER BOSS,HIS DESIRE    Chapter Eleven _The Call

    The smile stayed with Serena longer than she wanted to admit.Even after Kael disappeared down the hallway with Lia dragging him toward whatever emergency involved a frog. Even after the laughter faded. Even after the house settled into its usual rhythm again. She still found herself thinking about it.That smile. Small. Gone in seconds.Yet somehow it felt more dangerous than anything else. Because Kael Vale smiled so rarely that when he did, it meant something. At least it felt like it did. Serena was still sitting beside the piano when her phone vibrated. The sound startled her. She glanced at the screen.Mira.Immediately, her expression softened. She answered before the second ring."Hey."There was a pause.Then her sister's voice came through."Took you long enough."Serena smiled."It was one ring.""It felt longer.""You're dramatic.""I learned from the best."That earned a laugh. A real one. The kind that only Mira could pull from her. For a moment, everything felt familiar.

Not since life had become a constant cycle of responsibilities and worries. Yet somehow she'd forgotten all of that while sitting at the piano.The realization made her smile slightly.Then Lia threw herself at her."That was beautiful!"Serena laughed as she wrapped her arms around the little girl."I think that's the fastest you've ever moved.""I liked it.""I can tell.""No, really."Lia pulled back dramatically."I loved it."That earned another laugh from Serena. Across the room, Damon looked unusually quiet. Which was probably the most shocking thing that had happened all day.Serena raised an eyebrow."Are you alright?""No."Damon shook his head."I'm emotional."She rolled her eyes."Th

  • HER BOSS,HIS DESIRE    Chapter Nine_ The Way He Looked At Her

    The living room was unusually loud. Not because of Lia but Because of Damon.Serena had learned very quickly that Damon had a gift for making his presence known without even trying. One moment the house would be quiet.The next, Lia would be laughing so hard she could barely breathe. Which was exactly what was happening now."You cheated," Lia accused."I adapted.""You cheated.""I prefer the word adapted.""That's because you're guilty."Damon pressed a hand against his chest."Lia Vale, I am deeply offended."The little girl dissolved into laughter.Serena shook her head from her spot on the sofa. A smile tugged at her lips despite herself.The board game spread across the coffee table had long been abandoned. Somehow Damon had turned a simple game into a dramatic courtroom trial where he was apparently the victim.Or at least that was his version of events."You are teaching her bad habits," Serena informed him.Damon looked horrified."Me?""Yes, you.""Serena, I am a role model."

  • HER BOSS,HIS DESIRE    Chapter Eight _ The Question He Shouldn't Have Asked

    Kael stood in front of the window long after Serena had left the kitchen.The glass was cool beneath his fingertips.Outside, rain continued to fall over the city, turning the lights below into blurred streaks of gold and white. Normally he liked nights like this.The kind that allowed him to work without interruption.Tonight wasn't one of those nights.His attention kept drifting back to the kitchen. Back to Serena. Back to the look on her face after he'd asked that question.*Is Damon more charming than me?*The memory irritated him immediately. Not because of her reaction. Because he had asked it at all. It had been a stupid question. Unnecessary.And completely unlike him.Kael wasn't a man who spoke before thinking. Years of running a company had trained that out of him. Every word had a purpose. Every decision had a reason.Yet somehow, standing in that kitchen, watching Serena prepare to leave, the question had slipped out before he could stop it.He exhaled slowly. The answer sho

  • HER BOSS,HIS DESIRE    Chapter Seven_A Dangerous Question

    "Is Damon more charming than me?"Serena stopped halfway to the door. For a second, she honestly thought she had imagined the question.Slowly, she turned around. Kael was standing exactly where she'd left him. One hand resting against the kitchen counter. The other wrapped around a glass of water. His expression hadn't changed. Not even slightly.And somehow that made the question worse."What?""I asked if Damon was more charming than me."His voice was calm. Matter-of-fact. Like he was asking about tomorrow's weather. Serena stared at him. Then she laughed. Not because it was funny. Because she genuinely didn't know what else to do."That might be the strangest thing you've ever said to me."Something flickered across his face. Gone before she could identify it."I doubt that.""Oh, trust me."She picked up her phone from the counter."You've said some strange things, Mr. Vale."The corner of his mouth twitched slightly. Serena found herself staring. Because every time Kael showed e

  • HER BOSS,HIS DESIRE    Chapter Two _Rules

    Serena barely slept that night. Not because of the job itself.But because every time she closed her eyes, she kept seeing Mr vale watching her across that office. It was ridiculous.She didn’t even know the man. Yet something about Kael Vale stayed in her head long after she left the mansion.And

  • HER BOSS,HIS DESIRE    Chapter 6_Damon

    The smell of garlic and tomatoes filled the kitchen. Serena stood by the stove stirring a pot of pasta sauce while Lia sat at the island counter swinging her legs and coloring in a sketchbook."Do you think Daddy will be home before dinner?" Lia asked.Serena glanced at the clock."Probably not.""

  • HER BOSS,HIS DESIRE    Chapter Four_Boundaries

    Serena woke up the next morning already regretting the way her heart reacted around Kael Vale.It annoyed her.She was twenty-four years old, not some teenager getting nervous because a handsome man looked at her for too long. Yet ever since the storm, something had changed between them, and preten

    Serena was late.Unfortunately for her , the universe did not seem to care.“Please hold on!” she cried out breathlessly as the elevator doors began to close.A man inside pressed the button without looking at her once.“Thanks,” Serena murmured, stepping in quickly while trying to catch her breat
