Sutton had barely taken three steps into the development room when someone let out a long, theatrical whistle.

Then there was clapping. Not sarcastic slow clapping, but actual clapping. A solid round of applause. Everyone was watching her.

Sutton paused in the doorway, blinking at the strange yet enthusiastic reception. “Did I win an award I don’t know about? Is someone behind me holding a pizza box? What’s going on?”

“Way to go, Warner!” Kevin called out, grinning. The same Kevin who’d grilled her on isolation protocols just days ago. “Head of cybersecurity!” Tyler added, giving her an approving nod. “It’s about damn time this place recognized actual talent.”

Great. Extra great. Sutton blinked, taken aback by the unexpected show of support. She’d anticipated jealousy, resentment, or at the very least, suspicion about how she’d landed the promotion. “Thanks,” she managed, attempting to smile through her bewilderment. “But I, uh... haven’t officially accepted yet.”

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

    They both stood, Luca with a non-pregnant grace, Sutton with an awkward step. She felt his hand at her elbow, steadying her, and though she didn’t need the help, she didn’t shake him off. It was a little like turning to put the horse in the barn after it had bolted.The nurse walked them into a waiting room. “I will run a few checks before the doctor comes to see you.”The routine was normal: weight check, which she didn’t look at. She wasn’t vain, but she still didn’t want to know, only that she was in the healthy range. Her blood pressure was slightly elevated, but no alarm bells.Then the nurse peppered her with questions. “Any swelling in your feet or ankles?” as she made notes on her tablet.Sutton glanced down at her feet, stuffed into the only pair of flats that still fit comfortably. “Some in the evenings,” she admitted. “Not too bad.”Liar, her ankles silently accused. By five o’clock every day, they puffed out like bread dough, her skin stretched tight.“Any headaches, dizzi

    Sutton woke to the soft buzz of her phone against her nightstand. “Oof,” she mumbled, pressing her palm against the spot where the baby had kicked. “Take it easy in there, would you? Mama’s ribs aren’t punching bags.”She squinted at her phone screen through bleary eyes. 6:30 AM. A text from Luca.Luca: Good morning. About the appointment this afternoon, we can go together from the office.She groaned, flopping her head back against the pillow. The doctor’s appointment. Today she’d officially hit the seven-month mark, and her body hadn’t let her forget it. Her back ached constantly. Her ankles disappeared by mid-afternoon. And sleep? That was becoming a distant memory, thanks to a baby who thought nighttime was the perfect opportunity for gymnastics practice.Sutton typed a quick reply with clumsy morning fingers before attempting to haul herself out of bed. What used to be a simple sit-up motion had transformed into an ungraceful roll-to-the-edge-and-slide maneuver that made her feel

    They moved to the living room once they had their drinks. Sutton eased herself onto the couch, feeling the day’s exhaustion deep in her bones.Luca sat beside her, not too close, but near enough that she could feel the warmth radiating from him. He was like a furnace. One thing she had enjoyed during winter in bed with him. “You look tired,” he murmured. “Do you want me to take you home?”Before she could answer, Keira appeared in front of them, arms crossed. “So,” she said bluntly. “What exactly do you want from my sister? Because if it’s just the baby you can get lost, she needs more than that, and she deserves it too.”“Keira!” Sutton hissed, mortified. She should have known it was the calm before the storm.Luca, to his credit, didn’t flinch or back away from the fight. Standing up to Keira was the best way to handle her. “I intend to be there for her first. For our child. In whatever capacity she’ll allow me.”“And if she tells you to get lost?”“Then I’ll respect her wishes,” he

    Keira drove as she did everything else, with supreme confidence. Sutton thought it might be because she was the youngest. She had been very young when their parents had died.While Keira told her about what had happened at the party she attended with her boss last night…“So then this diplomat’s wife shows up,” Keira was saying, barely slowing for a yellow light that she could have stopped for, “wearing the exact same designer dress as the ambassador’s mistress… who wasn’t supposed to be there in the first place and I swear to God, Sutton, you could’ve cut the tension with a knife. It wasn’t that the wife didn’t know something was going on. But golden rule never have them in the room at the same time. I would say after that little stunt the mistress is on the way out. The wife’s family is the one with the money.”Sutton gripped the door handle as Keira took a corner too fast. “Fascinating. Could you please focus on the road before you kill us both? I’d like my baby to actually make it

    They didn’t speak during the elevator ride to Luca’s office. The sexual tension between them—and the tension from the confrontation with Nicole was still hummed through her body. Sutton watched the floor numbers light up one by one, her mind racing through everything that had just happened. The revelation, Nicole’s face as she realized she’d been caught, the stunned expressions of the executives around the table.When the doors opened on the executive floor, Luca placed his hand gently on the small of her back, guiding her toward his office. The gesture felt both protective and intimate, making her skin warm beneath the fabric of her dress.His assistant looked up as they approached.“Hold all my calls, Kate,” Luca instructed. “We’re not to be disturbed.”“Yes, sir,” the young woman replied, looking between them curiously.Inside his office, Luca closed the door and leaned against it for a moment, breathing out slowly. He looked tired, the weight of betrayal evident by the look on his
