Wednesday, October 18th, 7 AM.

Grayson stood in his office, staring out at the still-dark Manhattan skyline. It was barely 7:00 AM, but he'd been there for hours already, his mind racing since last night's revelation.

Honey Johnson was Red. His CFO. The woman he'd been dominating at The Velvet Room was the same person who challenged him in boardrooms, who managed his company's finances with complete ability.

The same woman who'd been hiding her true identity from him since the day they met.

He pressed his forehead against the cool glass, trying to organize his thoughts. When he'd left Nate last night, his friend had advised caution.

"Don't confront her directly," Nate had warned. "Think about how to approach this. She's been running from you for a reason. With Morgan being pregnant, if the baby is yours, you have a lot of baggage and so does Honey."

Grayson had barely slept, replaying every interaction with Honey through new eyes. How at work she would go toe-to-toe with him, but in T

    Grayson watched as Honey pulled back slightly, her eyes scanning his face as if searching for the sincerity beneath his words. The awkwardness of that moment felt like they were standing on the edge of something monumental."Move in with you?" Her voice carried uncertainty and curiosity."Yes." His hands were warm on her skin, grounding her. "Why not?"Her laugh was a string of notes, tentative and skeptical. "Grayson, that's a huge step. We've barely peeled back the layers of this... whatever this is.""I know." He traced a line down her arm. "But it feels right, doesn't it? Like we're meant to collide."Honey's gaze searched Grayson's face, looking for any sign of doubt or hesitation. Finding none, she felt a curious lightness spread through her chest despite the weight of his proposition."Meant to collide," she repeated softly. "That's one way of putting it. More like a crash course in complications."Grayson's lips quirked. "I've never been afraid of complicated.""Clearly." She

    Grayson's hands slid higher on Honey's thighs, his thumbs tracing patterns that made her breath hitch, and she could see the heat building in his eyes."I need you to understand something," he said, his voice dropping to that commanding tone that made her core clench. "When I say you're mine, I mean it. Not as property. You need to understand you are my equal. My partner.""Partner implies we're on the same level." Honey's voice came out breathier than she intended. "But you like control.""In the bedroom, yes." His hands gripped her thighs more firmly, the heat of his palms burning as he pulled her forward, bringing her to the very edge of the stool until their bodies aligned perfectly. She could feel the hard length of him pressing against her core through their clothes, the friction making her gasp. He shifted his hips deliberately, letting her feel exactly what she did to him, how much he wanted her. The slow grind of his hard cock against her sent sparks of pleasure racing throug

    Honey rose from the couch, following Grayson into his kitchen. The space was modern with all stainless steel and dark granite, but warm light made it feel inviting. He was already unpacking containers, the rich aromas filling the air, making her realize just how hungry she was."Plates are in that cabinet," he said, nodding toward the upper cupboard beside the sink.She reached up, stretching to grasp the dinner plates. As she did, her blouse rode up slightly, and she felt Grayson's gaze on the exposed strip of skin at her waist. She wasn’t sure how she knew he was watching. But his gaze was like a physical touch."You're staring," she said without turning around."Can't help it." His voice held that familiar heat. "Seeing you in my kitchen, in my home... it feels right."Honey set the plates on the counter, turning to face him. "Does it? Because yesterday I was just your CFO. Last week I was a complete stranger to you. Outside of Joy Smith your employee.""No." Grayson shook his head

    Honey stared at their joined hands, Grayson's larger ones enveloping hers with warmth that seeped into her bones. His question hung between them, weighted with possibility and peril. She felt if she said yes it would be more than what they had already shared.Stay the night."I can't," she whispered, though her body screamed the opposite. "Amanda's waiting outside.""Then call her." Grayson's thumbs traced circles on her palms. "Tell her you're staying with me as a friend for the night. They don't need details.""A friend." Bitter laughter escaped her. "Is that what we are?""We're whatever you want us to be." His eyes searched hers. "But I'm not letting you leave tonight without an answer. Are you willing to fight for this?"Honey pulled her hands free, standing because she needed space to think. She moved to his window, looking out at the Manhattan skyline glittering against the darkening sky."You're asking me to risk everything," she said. "My professional reputation that I've spe

    Wednesday, October 18th, 6:35 PMHoney stepped out of the Taylor Industries building into the crisp evening Amanda fell into step beside her, professional vigilance as she scanned the area looking for any trouble. Namely Riley."Busy Day." Amanda commented still looking around.Honey had decided not to go home first before heading to Grayson's place so had stayed late to finish a few protects. She had already informed Amanda for her plans."You could say that." Honey slid into the backseat minus her panties still, she grateful for the tinted windows that shielded her from curious eyes not like many would be around now.Another reason to leave late. To many at the office had witnessed Morgan's dramatic entrance and subsequent accusations. By tomorrow, the gossip mill would be in overdrive.The drive to Grayson's brownstone took twenty minutes through Manhattan traffic. Honey used the time to center herself, to prepare for the conversation that would determine whether they moved forward

    Grayson laughter filled the room, shocking Honey that he was taking her outburst so well. She wasn't sure how he would feel about Morgan really knowing about them instead of her guesses. But Morgan was already creating drama without her saying anything. Honey could not just stand there and take it. She was no doormat.Morgan's mouth fell open in shock, the veneer of wounded vulnerability cracking to reveal pure fury beneath. "How dare you—""How dare I?" Honey's voice was sharp, controlled. "You burst into a private office making accusations when you're the one who destroyed your relationship. Don't play victim when you wrote the script yourself."Grayson moved back to Honey's side, his hand settling at the small of her back, a subtle show of unity that Morgan tracked with narrowed eyes."This is who you've chosen?" Morgan's laugh was brittle. "Some fucking ugly bitch—"Honey wasn't ugly she knew she wasn't ugly… But women like Morgan needed to make other women feel… well less to make
