Evan Carter - First Person

The lockdown lasted for three hours.

Three long hours stuck in Adrian Wolfe’s office, with emergency procedures sealing off the executive floor and security teams scouring the building for the source of the system failure.

Three hours of flickering emergency lighting, heavy silence, and the knowledge that I was stuck in a confined space with a man whose very presence made my body react in ways I didn’t want to explain.

  • MY CORPORATE LOVER   Chapter 9: Crossing The Line

    Evan Carter – First Person He pulled me in, the door closing behind me. Then he let go. The suite was enormous with floor-to-ceiling windows with a view of the glittering metropolis below me, and a faint scent of cedar and expensive cologne that was unmistakably his. Adrian stood a few feet away from me, his sleeves rolled up to his forearms, his top button undone, his eyes regarding me as if I were a puzzle and a flame he wasn’t sure he should touch. Neither of us said anything for a long time. And then I laughed. Small. Breathless. Hysterical. “Of all the hotel suites in New York…” “Fate has terrible timing.”He stepped forward. “You can still leave, Evan. I won't ask questions.”My heart was thumping in my ears.There was no way in hell, he dragged me in here and was now testing me. I looked up to meet his eyes. “And if I don’t want to leave?”His eyes drifted to m

    Evan Carter - First PersonThe lockdown lasted for three hours.Three long hours stuck in Adrian Wolfe’s office, with emergency procedures sealing off the executive floor and security teams scouring the building for the source of the system failure.Three hours of flickering emergency lighting, heavy silence, and the knowledge that I was stuck in a confined space with a man whose very presence made my body react in ways I didn’t want to explain.Adrian and I didn’t talk much.Adrian was typing away on his computer, and I was standing by the window, trying to pretend I was studying the financial data while avoiding memories of exactly when our sleeves had touched.And exactly how he looked when he did it.And exactly how I felt something that shouldn’t have been there.The emergency lighting flickered again, and then the room was bathed in normal light.The door clicked open.Finally.I

  • MY CORPORATE LOVER   Chapter 7: Dying in Happiness

    Adrian — First person POV Don't look. Eyes on top. You can do it. I can't do it! Screw it! My mind roamed with words, endlessly as I fought to get my control back. I had always had the best composure whenever I was attracted to anyone. But this man was driving me nuts. His scent, everything was appealing and good lord…why did he have to be in front of me? The universe was clearly mocking me for keeping him employed longer than I should have. Raise your damn head, Adrian. Leave his body alone. I refocused my eyes on the computer screen. On the numbers on my screen. The charts. Financial data. Anything to get my mind back to normal. Behind me Evan stood and adjusted his tie. Then he wiped his hands on his pants, and leaned against the desk to read something again.He was practically unaware of what was happening to me. My eyes followed him. Every small movement caught my attention. Every shift of fabric. Every breath.My body responded before my senses could catch up.I stood u

  • MY CORPORATE LOVER   Chapter 6: Control

    Adrian Wolfe – First PersonThe buyout attempt wasn’t any concern of mine. Not yet.People tried to buy Wolfe Capital every year. Most of them fail before they ever learn what they’re up against.The room emptied out gradually as the news was disseminated. Executives were arguing about their defensive strategies, lawyers were arguing about emergency filings, and financial analysts were rushing to track the purchases of Wolfe Capital stocks.I waited five minutes. And then I got up from my seat. “That’s enough for today.”Several people looked up at me. One of the board members spoke quickly. “We still need to act immediately.”I was tired and didn't need any more drama. “We will tomorrow.”“But the buyers?”I answered firmly. “They will still exist tomorrow.”The room was silent once more.I looked at Evan. He had been studying the market data while everyone else was arguing. He was so intent on the data that it was almost distracting him from everything else around him.“You’re do

  • MY CORPORATE LOVER   Public Execution

    Adrian Wolfe- First Person The business coup attempt lasted eleven minutes.I observed the emergency board meeting from my position at the head of the table.Executives whispered among themselves. Legal team members passed out printed motions to the board members.Someone had prepared the motions beforehand.That meant the attack on me had been planned well before today.How interesting.I placed my hands on the table and perused the document on the table.Motion to remove Adrian Wolfe as CEO of Wolfe Capital.One of the board members cleared his throat.“Adrian, considering the current crisis surrounding the Harrington lawsuit and the accusations leveled against you and your analyst, the board feels new leadership might be necessary.”I leaned back into my chair. “And by ‘the board’ you mean you.”He bristled. “Several members are of the same opinion.”“Name them.”He was quiet. As expected. He was a coward. Across the table, Evan sat near the legal team while reviewing a stack of

  • MY CORPORATE LOVER   Too Close

    Evan Carter - First Person The media storm broke loose within twenty minutes. Phones on the entire executive floor were vibrating non-stop as messages flooded every screen within the building. Assistants rushed through the halls with printed messages, security guards talked frantically on their radios, and someone from the finance department yelled about the stock market plummeting. I stood inside Adrian Wolfe’s office and observed the mayhem through the glass walls. Apparently, becoming the center of a billionaire’s lawsuit had side effects. Adrian was calm. He was behind his desk studying documents and occasionally typing short replies on his phone. The situation didn’t seem to faze him at all, which was impressive given that half the financial media industry had declared me the villain of the week. "You're staring," he said without looking up. "I'm observing." "You've been standing there for ten minutes." "I'm making sure not to make things worse." His mouth curled u
