Under His Command Things Become Complicated
Jaxon's POV The morning was already unbearable, and the weight of my frustration wasn’t helping. I stood in the hotel lobby, running a hand through my hair as a bellboy carried my bags toward the waiting car. He almost let one fall and I turned to look at him with bloodshot eyes."Will you be careful with that" I snapped. "One of those bags cost more than you're worth, believe me."He apologized immediately then continued making his way to the car.My jaw tightened when the receptionist handed me the final bill for the three rooms we’d used, a reminder of just how chaotic this trip had become. I shoved my credit card into the reader with more force than necessary, my mind replaying last night like a broken record. Riley. Fantasizing about Eric while we were—I couldn’t even finish the thought without wanting to smash something. In all my years of having sex with different people, I’d never encountered such an absurd situation. It was disrespectful and degrading to me."Your

Riley's POV The blinding sunlight creeping through the thin hotel curtains dragged me out of a restless sleep. I groaned, pulling the blanket over my head in a futile attempt to shut out the morning. My head pounded like a drumline, the hangover reminding me of last night’s reckless drinking. As I shifted, I felt warmth beside me. My body stiffened. Slowly, cautiously, I turned my head. Jaxon. Lying naked. In my bed. My heart stopped for a moment as I took in his broad shoulders and perfectly chiseled abs.What the hell was happening ?I couldn't believe he was lying next to me as if he wasn't the same person that I hated just a few hours ago.His face, relaxed in sleep, was almost peaceful compared to the sharp-edged scowls he usually wore. But that serenity didn’t do anything to calm the storm brewing inside me. "I honestly can't believe this" I muttered under my breath, my voice hoarse and dry. I pushed myself up on one elbow, wincing as the blanket slid off my equ

Riley's POVThe room felt like it was closing in around me. My body, warm and strangely light, seemed to hum in time with the erratic beat of my heart. Every thought in my head was scattered, dizzying—like the alcohol still moving in my veins was refusing to let go of me. But despite the fog clouding my mind, there was something incredibly clear in that moment: Jaxon. The way he was so close to me, the heat of his body pressing into mine, his breath a whisper on my skin. I should have pulled away, stopped, but all I could think was, "I don’t want this to end."Jaxon’s lips were on mine again, and this time, the kiss was fiercer, urgent. I didn’t understand why it felt so different, so consuming. My mind was fighting to catch up with the sudden shift, but my body... my body wanted more. I couldn’t deny that. My hands were on him now, pulling him closer, unable to find the distance I once thought was necessary. The world outside of this moment—the office, the building, the cons

Jaxon’s POVI tightened my grip around Riley’s waist as I half-carried, half-dragged him down the dimly lit hotel corridor. His feet barely stood, and his weight shifted unpredictably as he stumbled and swayed. I could feel my temper flaring with every insult that spilled from his mouth. “You don’t have to do this, you know,” he muttered, his words calm but venomous. “You’re not a knight in shining armor, Jaxon. You’re just… just a soulless bastard who probably enjoys this.” My jaw clenched as I resisted the urge to drop him right there and let him take care of himself. “Keep talking, Riley. It’s only convincing me to leave you laying in the hallway for housekeeping to find in the morning.” He let out a humorless laugh. “You’d love that, wouldn’t you? Just one more way to remind me how much you despise me.” Despise him? The idea danced in my mind, though I couldn’t quite bring myself to confirm it. Riley had a habit for pressing every button I had, and right now, it was t

Riley’s POVThe ride back to the hotel was tense, the silence only broken by the sound of the car engine and the occasional click of Jaxon’s phone. I stared out the window, watching the city lights blur past, my thoughts circling continuously.Why would Ryan say Jaxon likes me?It made no sense. Jaxon didn’t “like” anyone—not in the way Ryan had implied, and certainly not me. If anything, Jaxon barely tolerated my existence, and I wasn’t exactly rolling out the red carpet for him either. I shook my head, trying to shove the absurd notion aside. The reality was much simpler: Jaxon was a colossal asshole, and that was all there was to it. When we reached the hotel lobby, Jaxon’s sharp voice cut through my thoughts. “Natalie, make sure the papers for Ryan to sign are on his desk first thing tomorrow morning. I don’t want any delays.” “Yes, Mr. Steele,” Natalie replied obediently, typing something on her phone. “I’ll contact Ryan’s assistant tonight and ensure everything is set.

Riley’s POVRyan and I walked side by side, leaving the louder parts of the gala behind. The atmosphere felt lighter away from the crowd, though the distant hum of conversation and occasional bursts of laughter reminded me we weren’t entirely alone. We turned a corner into a more secluded area of the hall, where the lighting was dimmer, and the energy of the party seemed to fade into the background. Just as I began to relax, my attention was caught by a couple standing near a column, locked in a passionate kiss, completely oblivious to the world around them. Ryan noticed them too, and we both froze for a moment before a shared glance broke the silence. “Well,” Ryan said, chuckling softly. “They sure know how to make the most of an event.” I laughed, trying to stifle the sound but failing miserably. “I guess keeping it simple isn’t their strong suit.” Ryan grinned, and the tension that had been lingering since our initial conversation melted away. “If anything, they’re a

Jaxon’s POVI returned to the main hall of the gala, my thoughts clouded with frustration. The sound of conversation and the soft tinkling of glasses did little to distract me from the lingering heat of my argument with Riley. I couldn't get the image of his face from my head when he stood up to me.His defiance was like a knife stabbed in my chest, one I couldn’t seem to pull out no matter how hard I tried. Normally, I would have found such a behavior as hot and sexy, but now, it just irritated me and I had to fight this feeling of punching him.The memory of his sharp words and unwavering glare lingered, fueling the fire of my anger. He had a way of getting under my skin like no one else ever had, and it was infuriating. I wanted to fire him. God, how I wanted to fire him. To rid myself of his insubordination, his smug confidence, and the constant headache he brought into my life. But I couldn’t. Riley had managed to make himself indispensable. His connections, his intellig

Riley’s POVThe tension in the restroom was thick enough to cut with a knife, and I could feel Jaxon’s eyes burning into me. His gaze was intense—sharp, cold, and entirely unrelenting. I wasn’t about to let him know how much it rattled me, though. After all the nonsense he had put me through, I was beginning to understand why I was starting not to care about him and whatever he does.The truth is, he's just an arrogant bastard who purposely pushes everyone away because he's afraid of being rejected.I wasn't going to let him spoil my evening, especially now that I had singlehandedly managed to secure the partnership of Grey Dynamics and also I'm having a great time talking to Ryan.I chose to let Jaxon's sour attitude roll off my back and not care whatsoever to anything that he might say or do.I straightened my shoulders, trying to appear unfazed as I headed for the urinals. The last thing I wanted was for him to think I was intimidated, even if my pulse was hammering in my ears

Jaxon’s POVThe sight before me was utterly surreal. Riley stood there, laughing—laughing—with Ryan Grey. Ryan, the enigmatic, untouchable CEO of Grey Dynamics, whose time was more valuable than gold, seemed entirely charmed by Riley’s easy demeanor. I stood rooted in place, my mind spinning. The man I had dismissed as an inconvenience, who I had sent home thinking he’d overstepped his bounds, was now casually sharing jokes with the very person he’d come to LA to pitch to. The situation was absurd, yet undeniably real. “Sir?” I turned to see Natalie approaching, her gaze flicking between Ryan and Riley. Her confusion mirrored my own. “Ryan,” I said stiffly, forcing a smile as I gestured toward her. “This is Natalie, my assistant. She’s been instrumental in preparing the pitch we wanted to present tonight.” Ryan turned his attention to Natalie, his trademark charm in full effect. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Natalie. If you’re half as competent as Riley here, then I’d sa

My Annoying Boss
Riley POV“How can one man be so annoying?” I asked, leaning against the breakroom counter, arms crossed tightly over my chest. My best friend, Chloe, nodded sympathetically, though her eyes were glued to the scene unfolding outside the large office window. Jaxon Steele, our boss and resident tyrant, was doing what he did best—tearing someone down.“You’d think with all that money, he could at least afford some decency,” Chloe muttered, pushing a strand of her blonde hair behind her ear as she watched in disbelief. I shook my head. "Decency and Jaxon don’t belong in the same sentence. He’s all arrogance and cruelty" I said with disdain obvious in my voice.We both stared as Jaxon’s deep, commanding voice echoed across the office floor. The poor guy he was ripping into—Eric from accounting—stood there shaking, his face turning redder by the second. Jaxon was relentless, his tall, muscular frame towering over Eric like a lion about to devour its prey.I hated him. Every fiber of my
