Sandra’s POV

I knock on the study door softly. “Can I come in?”

My father’s voice drifts out, warm but tired. “It is your house, Sandra. Why do you need permission.”

I step inside. He is behind his table, documents spread out all over like he is attempting to rebuild his domain one file at a time. “Still working?”

“Trying to make myself useful.”

“Retirement is not treating you well, huh?”

He chuckles. “It is evident, not doing anything is not as relaxed as folks make it appear.”

I step nearer and place my hands on the side of the table. “You know you do not have to work. I have got the company covered.”

“That is precisely what bothers me.”

I lift a brow. “Whoa, thanks for the faith.”

He smiles faintly. “It is not that I doubt you, sweetheart. It is that I know how heavy that chair feels.”

I breathe, grabbing the chair across him. “Yep, it is not as attractive as it seems. The board is polite to my face but waiting for me to mess up. Investors still side eye me when I walk in.”

  • Straight Until Him   Between Us  

    Alessandro’s POV “Look at the city. Still awake, like it is proud of you.” I said to Micah as I stood on the rooftop. He is sitting sipping juice.“Proud of us, you mean. You were up there too, Ale.” Micah utters. “Barely. I just stood there looking pretty while you set the room on fire.” “Pretty? That is all I get?” “Fine. Devastatingly handsome. Better?” “Much better. Come here.” Micah pats the space beside him.“Already walking. See? These legs work when you call.” “Sit. You are still in your tie. Let me fix that.” “Fix or strangle?” I tease him.“Depends on how honest you get tonight.” “Cruel. I like it. Loosen away.” He looses my tie.“There. Breathe.” “God, that is better. You smell like champagne and victory.” “And you smell like my cologne. Thief.” “Borrowed. I will return it in kisses.” “Start the payment plan.” Micah points to his lips.I kiss him.“Mmm. Like that?” I ask him.“Again. Slower.” He whispers“You are greedy.” “I know but… only for you

  • Straight Until Him   The Soft Launch

    Micah’s POV“You are shaking.”“I am not shaking.”“Then what is that tremor in your hand?”“Excitement. Or caffeine. Hard to tell.”“Right. You have had, what, four cups already?”“Five. I am presenting a dream to the world, Alessandro. I deserve an espresso army behind me.”“You deserve sleep, not espresso.”“I will sleep when Novaré becomes a billion dollar empire.”“Then I will start buying you energy drinks by the crate.”“Romantic.”“Always.”“Okay,” I breathe out, straightening my blazer. “Does this look… CEO enough?”“More than enough. You look like someone who owns the room before stepping into it.”“Stop flattering me.”“Can’t help it. You glow when you are about to change the world.”“God, do not make me emotional before my speech.”“You will be fine. Remember, this is not the end of something; it is the start.”“Yeah.” I smile faintly. “The start.”“Mr. Romano!” flashes explode the moment Alessandro’s father walks in.I whisper, “He really came?”“Of course,” Alessandro sa

  • Straight Until Him   Crossroads

    Alessandro’s POV“You are not thinking about it, are you?”Micah leaned against the counter, arms crossed, watching me read the letter from Romano Corp’s board for the tenth time.“Thinking?” I looked up. “No. Laughing at the irony, maybe.”“The irony that they want you back after you walked out?”“The irony that they want me to lead a merger I would have destroyed a year ago.”“You? Destroy a merger? You would have called it strategic annihilation.”“Do not make me sound like a villain.”“You were one,” he teased. “Now you are just… domesticated.”I pointed at him with the letter. “Careful, Duvall. I can still destroy things.”“Just not me.”I folded the letter neatly and set it on the counter. “Never you.”“So, what are you going to tell them?” he asked.“I already did,” I said.He blinked. “Wait. You already answered?”“Yes.”“And you did not think to tell your co-founder slash boyfriend slash emotional support human?”“I wanted to make sure I was not influenced.”“By me?”“By anyo

  • Straight Until Him   Concrete Dreams

    Alessandro’s POV“Okay,” Micah says, clapping his hands, “this is not how I pictured our first official day.”I look around the office; half unpacked boxes, coffee stains on desks, and a new intern running around with two laptops and no clue which one belongs to him. “Oh, it is exactly how I pictured it. Pure chaos.”“Chaos with potential,” he corrects, moving a stack of folders from one chair to another.“Yeah, sure. That is what every madman says before the explosion.”He shoots me a look. “You are not helping at all.”“I am observing. With style.” I say with a grin.“Alessandro, your version of ‘style’ involves criticizing everything that breathes.” He simply states.“Not true. I like you.” I look at him, my heart swooning.He looks right back at me like he wants to smack me. “That is very debatable.”“Wow, no faith in your business partner? Harsh.” I put a palm on my chest feigning hurt.He glares at me. “Business partner?” he repeats. “I thought we were co-founders.”“We are. But

    Micah’s POVI am presently at Duvall Enterprise to visit Sandra. The employees bow when I walk by, guess habits do die hard.I enter the elevator, get out and walk into Sandra’s office which was my former office and I was stupefied.“You redecorated the whole office.” I utter as I took a seat.“I did. You hate it?” She looks up from whatever it is she was doing before I stepped in.“No. It looks… alive.” I answer her.“I wanted something brighter. The old color scheme was too stiff.” She eyes me.But she did not stop talking. “That is because you designed it like a war room.”“And you are turning it into a garden.” I retorted.“Oh yeah. At least it is a peaceful garden. You are welcome.”“I am welcome for what? Well …You have gotten good at this.”“You sound surprised.”“Not actually surprised. Just proud.”“Proud? Of me? Wow, the world must be nearing its end.”“Do not ruin it. I am serious.”“So am I. I did not think we would ever stand in this office and talk without trying to stab
