EMILY

‘You like what you see?’

The words rang in my ears, making my body go stiff like the Statue of Liberty.

I wanted to be in disbelief of who stood behind me. But when his scent hit every part of my nostrils, making it enough evidence that it was definitely the last person I wanted it to be who had his chest against my back, a cold sweat broke out on my neck and forehead.

My throat felt dry and constricted as I swallowed.

  • In bed with my boss   CHAPTER 25

    COLE I stormed through the doors of my bedroom, my fingers desperately fumbling with my tie until I finally yanked it loose. I flung it onto the neatly arranged bed along with my suit jacket before walking into the bathroom. I stopped in front of the mirror and stared at my reflection. What the fuck had happened to me? I looked like like a man who had completely lost control of himself. And I hated it. I knew Emily had been working late tonight. I was the one who had sent her the late work schedule, knowing exactly how long it’d take for her to finish from the office. I could have left it at that. Instead, I’d found myself staring at the security cameras feed like some old creep, even though I was already done for the day. I hadn’t wanted to turn the cameras on. I’d actually sat there for a few seconds arguing with myself before giving in. And there she was. Emily. I watched her walk into the conference room, placing each folder neatly in front of t

  • In bed with my boss   CHAPTER 24

    EMILY The past few days had been hectic with work, but the strangest part was Cole. We had spent several nights working through a launch date for the fake project and a few other projects that had piled up on our desk. Yet, despite the long hours sitting across from each other, I could feel the cold shoulder he had been giving me. He was there, but something about him felt distant. There something else beneath it too, something I couldn’t quite put a name to. And apparently, whatever was wrong with him had somehow changed rubbed off on me. Because lately, I’d caught myself staring at him for longer than I should. It happened in those late hours when the office had grown quiet and the only sound was the occasional click of his keyboard. My eyes would wonder to him without permission, lingering on the way his fingers moved across the keys, the slight crease between his brows when he concentrated, or the way he leaned back in his chair when he was thinking. I didn’t

  • In bed with my boss   CHAPTER 23

    EMILY My eyes widened as recognition slammed into me. Six years. Six whole years had passed, and somehow, I was standing in a restroom with my high school best friend. “Lillian?” Her name softly fell from my lips. She didn’t say a word. Her hands clasped together in front of her chest as she nodded repeatedly, her eyes glossy with tears. I let out a long, disbelieving sigh. “You mean Lillian Anderson from Kingswood academy?” I asked, suprise lacing my voice. She let out a full-bellied laugh. “Yes, Emily, it’s me. And I’m glad you remembered me from my name. For a second there, I felt like I was keeping some big secret from you. “Wait!” My eyes widened. “You knew it was me from the moment you walked in?” “The moment I walked in, the first thing I noticed was your ginger-brown hair. You had it pulled to the side, and I remember thinking there was no way I knew someone with that exact shade of hair.” She laughed softly. “Then I saw the mole on your left shou

  • In bed with my boss   CHAPTER 22

    EMILY What the hell did I just here? Troy Kingswood was in town and in this same building as well? The last article I read about him stated he’d moved out of the country and was now living his best life as a bachelor in London . The memory I’d buried for years began to crawl its way into my mind, reminding me of how cruel he was to me back in high school. The way he’d create every chance and opportunity to call me a fat pig or four eyes anytime he saw me, or when he and some of his friends would break into my locker and pick some of my textbooks. And anytime I threatened to report them to the principal, Troy always had a way of shoving the fact that his family owned the school across my face, making me stay quiet and become an object of their ridicule. I couldn’t shake the image of him and his friends creating a circle around me after lunch breaks while Cole just stood at the side like he normally did, watching and only stopping them when they began to get handsy

    EMILY ‘You like what you see?’ The words rang in my ears, making my body go stiff like the Statue of Liberty. I wanted to be in disbelief of who stood behind me. But when his scent hit every part of my nostrils, making it enough evidence that it was definitely the last person I wanted it to be who had his chest against my back, a cold sweat broke out on my neck and forehead. My throat felt dry and constricted as I swallowed. Everything was happening all at once, and someone needed to help me call an ambulance before I kissed the floor. Just when I thought things couldn’t get worse, the man who was slowly sliding into the woman turned to look at me, his eyes slowly raking from my head to my toes before finally meeting my gaze. He held contact, like his body got even more pleasure from seeing someone watch. It felt like the whole room had gone up to ninety degree. And if Cole were to have told me to face him, even a lie wouldn’t have been able to hide the w

  • In bed with my boss   CHAPTER 20

    EMILY~Saturday~ It’s been two weeks since I ran out of Cole’s office, and in those past days, I made sure to avoid him during work hours. Most especially on board meeting days. I didn’t know if Cole was also avoiding me or just giving me space, because after he sent corrections on the fake project, I started receiving emails from Sloan. It was mid-afternoon, and the sky over New York was beginning to look gloomy. I sat with my kindle in one hand and a cup of hot chocolate in the other. Finally, I had some time to myself after a stressful week of running magazine campaigns for one of the biggest fashion houses in New York. I looked around my almost-furnished space, taking in the few changes I’d managed to make. Thanks to the $10,000 reward the company gave its new workers, I was able to add more things to the apartment, stock up my fridge, and pay a two months’ rent upfront. Ping. My phone vibrated with a message. I quickly picked it up since I’d been expecti

    EMILY “Have a seat,” he said as he clicked the door shut. The sound echoed through the office, making me flinch. I was still standing there when he moved past me like a lion in its territory. His perfectly tailored suit stretched across his broad frame as he settled into his chair. “I

    EMILY ~Flashback to Six Years Ago~ “Hey, four eyes!” Troy, Cole’s best friend, called from behind, and laughter erupted from their group. Even Cole was laughing. “Please, Troy.” I said quietly, keeping my eyes down as I walked faster. “I’ve told you to stop calling me that.” But

    EMILY ~NEW YORK~ ~One month later~ ~Monday~ I looked at myself for what felt like the millionth time in the mirror after ten different hairstyles and seven outfit changes. Finally, I was satisfied. My hair pulled into a tight bun, and my white long-sleeved blouse looked modest enoug

  • In bed with my boss   CHAPTER 2

    EMILY Four of the most handsome men I’ve ever seen sat confidently, their presence exuding money and power. Each of them was draped in expensive Armani and Prada suits, broad shoulders filling the seats like they owned the place. Is this heaven? I thought. If it is, someone please pinch m
