Blair comes home to find her fiancé in bed with her cousin Laura. She is determined not to let it destroy her. She is a strong capable woman. What she hadn’t planned on was drinking too much then sleeping with her boss. Roman shows her things she had never experienced before. Didn't even know she would enjoy. The next morning in the cold light of day and sober, Blair wants to pull away and call it a one-night stand. Roman has other ideas. He just doesn't want her for one night he wants her period.
View MoreRoman rested back against his chair, taking a sip of his scotch. Their meal had been excellent. They had turned down dessert. They had both requested a vintage scotch on ice. He looked at his friend. There was something definitely going on with him. Lines were etched into his forehead and around his mouth, and he had lost weight. “Luca, what’s going on with you? You seem distracted and you look tired.” Luca rubbed his hand across his face. “I’m not in the US just for business. I’m here hunting for a woman.”Roman leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table. “Why? I thought you were marrying the Bruno heiress.”“That’s not happening now. I… I was involved with a woman before my father made me promise to marry Elena Bruno. I didn’t want to. She is just a child, only turning eighteen last month.”“Why did you promise to marry her then?” Roman set his drink down on the table. No one made Luca do something he didn’t want to do.Luca looked down into his own glass, staring at the amber
Saturday afternoon Blair was sitting in the lounge room reading when the doorbell rang. She looked around for Roman. He had taken a call and walked away so he could leave her in peace while she was involved in her book. She spied him through the glass doors leading outside. He was still on the phone. Shrugging, she could answer the door. Putting her book aside, Blair got up and cross to the door. Looking through the side glass panel, to see a gorgeous man standing there. He was tall, taller than Roman, with thick midnight black hair and dark eyes. This must be Roman’s friend from university. Blair turned the lock and opened the door. “Hi.”The man gave her a once over. She didn’t feel he was checking her out in a sexual way. If she had felt that way, she would have put him in his place. Blair wasn’t sure if Roman had said anything about her to him. “I see Roman still has impeccable taste. I don’t mean to be rude, but Roman told me he couldn’t be late tonight because he had plans. No
Roman took Blair’s hand before leading her to the master bedroom.“Maybe I should unpack before going to bed.” She had never been to this side of the house before. The times she had been here, there had been no need to enter the master bedroom.Roman shook his head answering “Jenny had one of the day staff do that for you already. Everything has been pressed and hung up before we got home.” Pulling her into the room and up against the wall where he pinned her in place with his body. His grip was firm. The movement made her heart race.Her eyes darting around the dimly lit room. It was large like the rest of the house, and the only light was burning on the bedside table. The bed was a super king, which was understandable when Roman was over six feet tall. Blair was glad to see he didn’t have satin sheets on the bed. She didn’t know how she felt about satin sheets.Roman released her wrist, lifting his hands to undo her hair, letting the mass fall over her shoulders. “I love your hair.
Roman arrived at the three-car garage and pressed the remote button to open the door. He slid his car into an available spot. Besides the vehicles he kept at the office garage in his private section, Roman stored two other cars here. She didn’t understand why some men felt the need to own so many cars. When she had done very well without one. Depending on how long she stayed here, that would have to change. She had a license but hadn’t needed to use it while living in the city. Roman’s estate was on the outskirts of the city. She had been here before when Roman had hosted a party here for his business partners. Dan had attended with her that weekend. It had been a horrible weekend for her. Dan had been upset about the time she had to spend in Roman’s company. She had been expected to stand beside Roman when people had arrived. She didn’t understand it now any more than she had then. Roman turned off the car. Unclipping his seatbelt, then hers. “Lets go inside. I had the housekeeper
Her phone started ringing as soon as she left the building. Pulling it out of her bag, she saw Roman’s name on the screen. She answered straight away.“Hey. I’m ok.” She continued to walk towards the bus stop she had arranged for Roman to pick her up from.“Stay where you are. I’m coming to get you,” Roman said in a demanding tone.“No, you are not. You will meet me at the bus stop like we arranged.” She would not back down.“Blair…” She could hear he was upset by her stubbornness. “He followed you out of the building.”“Knowing you, Roman, you have Peters following him right now to make sure he isn’t following me. So I’m safe. If it makes you feel better, you can stay on the line with me while I walk.”When he didn’t deny her charge about Peters following Dan, she knew she was right. “Fine, but I don’t like it,” came his frustrated voice over the phone.Blair changed the subject of the conversation as she continued to walk, her heels clicking on the sidewalk. “I have to go home on S
Blair watched Roman’s door, wondering what was going on inside between them. She heard Roman’s laugh and then nothing for a long time. Suddenly, the door was swung open to reveal a clearly upset Jessica. She didn’t say anything, just stomped across the room towards the exit.“Goodnight Mrs. Kingston.” Blair thought it polite to say to the woman.She was shocked by Roman’s next words. “The only Mrs. Kingston is my mother. If Jessica insists on keeping my name, it’s Ms. Kingston if she really is to up herself to be called by her first name.”This only seemed to ignite Jessica’s temper, and she gave a small squeal and left the offices. Roman was on his mobile within seconds. “Peters, make sure one of your team sees Jessica leaves the building with zero fuss, please.” Roman put his phone back in his pocket. “Well now, that’s dealt with. Shall we go home?” Blair had so many questions but kept them to herself. She didn’t have the right to question him about his ex wife. Not now, maybe not
Roman look first at Blair to see that she had a frosty look in her eyes. Just what had been going on here. Maybe he shouldn’t have left Jessica in her company for so long. But he wanted to talk to his lawyer first before speaking to Jessica. Better to have all the facts in front of him beforehand. But Ashley, his lawyer, had been as surprised as him by the visit. But she had warned him to not promise anything until speaking to her first. “Jessica? Please.” Roman used a hand gesture to invite her into his office. Not missing the smirk, Jessica gave Blair as she moved away from her desk. She brushed against his body as she walked by him to enter his office. It took everything in him not to move away. He would not show her any emotion, but she left him cold, when once she had been able to set his body aflame. Roman mouthed to Blair. “Wait for me.” Realizing too late they hadn’t spoken about traveling home together and now wasn’t the right time. She gave him a small nod. Satisfied, Roma
Blair bit her lip. She was feeling anxious about going home with Roman and concerned about the logistics of getting to his place without anyone from the company finding out. It was late, so there wouldn’t be many people around, but the possibility of being seen was still a major risk. She had researched public transport options online and discovered that there was no direct bus service in that direction. Keeping her relationship with Roman a secret was important to her, and she definitely didn’t want anyone knowing that she was staying at his place. In hindsight, she realized she should have discussed the plan with him before now.The office phone buzzed on her desk. Lifting it, Blair put it to her ear. “Blair, I was about to leave for the day, but Jessica Kingston is here to see Roman.” Kara let her know straight away.That shocked her. In the two years she had worked here, she had only met Jessica once. “Hold one second, Kara.” Blair said before putting her on hold and ringing thr
Roman knew it was getting late and they should call it a day, but he sat at his desk after Blair had just delivered him a coffee and the typed up meeting notes had been sent to his computer already. It was the one thing that had stopped him from making a move on her sooner. Well, two really. He hadn’t wanted to lose her as a secretary. She had been the best one he had ever had. Also, there had been the problem of her fiance. Roman leaned down and pulled out the file he had hidden in his bottom drawer. The investigation he had run into Dan’s department had given him more information that he had planned. It had all started last month when a discrepancy had appeared in the accounts of the sales department. When he had started the investigation, it hadn’t been to catch out Dan but to find out if they had a thief who was embezzling money. That little mystery was still a work in progress. They had set up a trap, so the next time money was taken, they would discover the thief. While conduc
Blair was so thankful to be home. She couldn’t comprehend the kind of demon that had possessed her boss during their recent business trip. They had arrived home one day earlier than planned, but she was glad to be away from him. She was surprised that he hadn’t wanted her to return to the office with him. Instead, giving her the rest of the afternoon off.He was being a real shithead. When he had dropped her off at her front door, she had really felt like flipping him the bird. But stilled her hand at the last moment in case he looked back in the rear-view mirror. He did seem to have eyes in the back of his head most of the time. Being gorgeous hadn’t improved his disposition. If anything, it made him more of an ass.She didn’t know what was going on. Roman seemed more irritable and on her part, he had been rubbing her the wrong way. Of the two years she had worked for him, these last two months were the worst. If he didn’t pay her so well… maybe she would tell him where to go. Blair ...
