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

  • 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

    “Nicole,” Sutton said, steady, staring him down like she was daring him to deny it.Luca blinked. “Nicole?”“She was the only one with high enough access. She’s the only one who’s been gunning for me since the very second she walked into the building. And let’s not pretend she didn’t know what she was doing when she turned off my software protecting the Kingstons’ server.”He stepped back like the accusation had physically hit him.“You think Nicole… Jesus, Sutton, she’s been with me for years.”“Exactly. She knows your systems. She thinks you won’t suspect her. And she knew that my program would protect Kingston. She wanted it gone. She blamed me as soon as I walked in… This has her written all over it.”“She’s my second,” he said, quieter this time. “Nicole has handled entire acquisitions. She’s been loyal.”“To you,” Sutton shot back. “Not to me. Not to Cyber10. She hates me, Luca. She looks at me like I’m gum stuck to her fucking shoes. I don’t know what the problem is with me… bu

    The Cyber10 office was in an uproar when they arrived. Jake met them at the elevator on the development floor, his usually calm demeanor replaced by barely controlled panic.“It’s worse than I thought,” he said, falling into step beside them. “The virus bypassed all our security protocols. It’s like it knew exactly where the vulnerabilities were.”“Because it did,” Sutton said grimly, moving as quickly as her pregnant body would allow. “I have a feeling the first attack was reconnaissance. This is the real assault.”Luca’s hand remained at the small of her back, steadying and protective as they hurried to her station. “What data has been compromised?”“Everything,” Jake replied. “Kingston’s client databases, project files, even our backup systems. It’s spreading faster than we can track it.”The development room was crowded with bleary-eyed staff called in from their homes. Elliott sat hunched over his keyboard, face pale with exhaustion. Nicole stood nearby, arms crossed tightly, wat
