Roman found Blair at her desk, her fingers moving rapidly over her keyboard, eyes focused on the screen. She barely looked up as he leaned against the edge of her desk, watching her. She was so beautiful and so graceful.

“Are you ready to leave?” His voice was calm, but there was an underlying authority that always accompanied his words. He wanted to take her home. He wondered if she realized he had taken her that last time without protection. Just the thought of it made his sex jump, and he wanted to do it again. The thought of her round with his child was a huge turn-on.

Blair glanced up briefly before looking back at her screen. “I need a few more minutes. You don’t have to wait. I’ll meet you at the bus stop.”

Roman’s jaw tightened. This argument again. “Blair, we’ve been over this. I don’t like you walking to the bus stop when you can just come with me.”

She sighed, sitting back in her chair. “Roman, I’m not ready for people to know yet. I just got out of a relationship with Dan,

  • In Bed With Her Shithead Boss   Chapter One Hundred-Twenty-One

    Sunlight spilled in through the curtains as Sutton opened her eyes. It was so bright she knew it had to be late in the morning… the kind of brightness that pressed behind her eyelids and made the world feel slow and still.Her body ached in places she hadn’t felt in months, the kind of delicious soreness that came from being truly claimed. She stirred beneath the blanket. Her body still ached, and one arm rested over her forehead, the other dragging the sheet up higher as she blinked a few times.And then she felt him. Her arm brushed his side. She turned her head toward him.Luca was watching her.He was sat against the headboard, one leg bent beneath the blanket, the other stretched long beside her. He was naked from the waist up likely entirely naked, knowing Luca. Luca never wore anything to bed.He lifted his hand and traced slow, absent-minded patterns along the curve of her hip beneath the sheets.“Have you been awake for a while?” she murmured, voice scratchy with sleep.He di

  • In Bed With Her Shithead Boss   Chapter One Hundred-Twenty

    It was 4:53 a.m. by the time they stepped through the front door of his place, and Sutton was so quiet beside him that Luca kept glancing over, unsure if she was asleep with her eyes open. She wasn’t. Just worn out, shattered, was the best way to describe her.He could tell by the way she leaned her head against the window, lips parted slightly, breathing slow but not quite even. She hadn’t said much since they’d left the office, but she didn’t need to. Everything that needed to be said had happened in the last few hours at the office, and once the adrenaline had burned out of their systems. They both felt exhausted. She hadn’t even protested when he said he would take her home with him.By the time he carried her up the stairs, she was deadweight in his arms.She barely stirred.Luca took her straight into his bedroom, not the guest room. He couldn’t bear the thought of putting her somewhere separate, not after the night they’d just experienced, and he wasn’t talking about just the b

  • In Bed With Her Shithead Boss   Chapter One Hundred-Nineteen

    Nicole had never considered herself a villain.She wasn’t reckless. She wasn’t stupid. Everything she did, she did with purpose. With strategy. With the long game in mind and right now? The long game was Luca.He wasn’t in love with her, fine. He didn’t have to be. Men like Luca De Santis didn’t marry for love, anyway. They married for legacy. For business. For alignment. And Nicole had aligned herself with his world for almost six years. She knew his schedule, his temper, his instincts, his needs and wants. She’d bled for his empire while women floated in and out of his life like moths. He had no staying power, that’s why in the end he would marry, not for love.But then Luca had bought Cyber10 out of the blue, hunting for some pregnant mistress in the USA. How… pedestrian and common. But from what she could gauge, he hadn’t found her. Nicole was sure that if the woman had been here and couldn’t get money from Luca, she would’ve aborted the baby.Then there was Sutton. She was beauti

    The alarm pierced the quiet like a slap.Sutton jolted, blinking hard as the sound cut through the thick fog in her head. The noise wasn’t deafening, but it was sharp and urgent. It snapped her back to the here and now with brutal clarity.Saved by the bell.She looked over Luca’s shoulder toward her workstation, the red light flashing on the security panel.“Shit,” she muttered.Luca stood quickly, already alert, already all business again. But when he turned to look at her, there was something softer lingering in his eyes. Something that she had never seen in him before.“You okay?” he asked.Sutton nodded, even though her body ached and her thighs still felt shaky. “Yeah. Just... give me a second.”She pulled her dress down as best she could and stood slowly, ignoring the dull ache that followed. Her underwear was gone. Didn’t matter. Her limbs were jelly, her head still going over everything that had passed between them. She moved toward her desk and silenced the alarm.The screen

    They stayed like that for a while. Her fingers moving through his hair. His forehead still resting against her thigh. His breath was hot on her skin. It sent a shiver down her spine. There was no way she shouldn’t be turned on. She had never come so much in her life in one encounter.Neither of them moved.She should’ve said something. Anything. But she was exhausted. It fogged her brain a little.But she didn’t know where to start. She didn’t know if she even wanted to break the silence yet. It wasn’t awkward. It was... necessary.But then he exhaled. A low, ragged breath, like he’d been holding it for a few moments.“I’m sorry,” he whispered again, barely above a whisper.Her hand stilled.She looked down at him. Taking in his disheveled state.His eyes were closed. His body still braced against her like the apology was heavy enough to knock him over. Seeing him at her feet like this was humbling.“Why?” she asked. “Why are you sorry?” Her voice was just as quiet as his. She needed

    He pulled her closer. It wasn’t forceful. It was more of a desperate need. He had to touch her. He needed that connection.One arm around her waist, the other cupping the back of her head, and then his mouth was on hers.Hot and fierce. He used his tongue demanding entry to her mouth.Sutton didn’t resist. She sank into him like a rag doll. Her hands clutched at his shirt, yanking him closer, needing him closer. She didn’t care that this could be a mistake… She needed him, wanted him.He tasted like heat and hunger. He was the reason for her scars. Right now, that didn’t matter.His breath caught when her nails scraped up his chest. She could feel him unraveling already. The same way she was. They had been apart for so long. Too long for their bodies.She gasped as his mouth broke from hers, sliding to her jaw, then down to her neck. He sucked just under her ear, rough enough to sting, just right enough to make her thighs squeeze together.“I can’t—” Luca’s voice cracked. “I can’t wait
