บททั้งหมดของ Kiss It Better: บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

Thankfully, the subway shakes, and no one can tell I’m quivering as I ride it back home to Brooklyn. I’m still buzzing after everything that happened today – still stuck in that zone where I’m processing emotions but not fully able to mentally process what actually happened.As bad luck would have it, Mr. Cruz’s call to London went long and then he had to personally go to a production meeting after lunch while I was re-organizing the old filing system on Carlos’ orders, so I left the office without being able to reunite with my new boss again.But then again, maybe that’s actually a good thing. Maybe I needed a chance to clear my head and get my mind right, because the last time we were together and he told me to get down on my knees in front of him, and that I was a good little girl, I was almost one hundred percent sure I was going to pass out before we got into whatever it was he had planned for me next.It all honestly feels like a dream now as I think back to my day. When I first

I open the door to find Sofia standing on my steps in a long beige trench coat, clutching her purse to her chest, doing her best not to look terrified.“What are you?” I ask. “Some kind of detective?”“No.” She frowns adorably. “It’s my Desperate Housewives look. At least that’s what I was going for.”“Ah.” I nod. “So that must mean there’s something quite sexy underneath there.”“Well…I guess that will be up to you to decide.”Damn, she’s cute. Cute and sexy. I can tell she tried hard to follow my commands, but this is a girl who doesn’t have a dresser full of Victoria’s Secret lingerie because she’s never needed it. And I love that. That means she’s untouched, innocent, hasn’t been used up or run through yet. I’m getting stiff just at the thought of doing things to her that will take that soft, apprehensive look on her face and transform it into a twisted expression of absolute pleasure.“Well, don’t just stand out there on the steps,” I tell her. “Come inside.”She nods shyly. “Yes

I feel like there’s a miniature sun inside of me as I walk into the office wearing a brand-new outfit from Saks, replaying last night’s events in my mind. It must be the 55th time I’ve gone over them, and each time I do, I still get goose bumps.I was hoping Dominik would let me spend the night at his place, but after a few minutes of cuddling and pillow talk, he let me know politely that he had to get some sleep for work and that the car would take me home. Not wanting to be one of those girls who thinks that just because a guy had sex with her he’s suddenly in love with her, especially with my new boss. I also didn’t want to go and put a damper on my night by overthinking things either, so I took the ride back home and fell asleep a very happy girl.I’m buzzing with excitement for my second day of work. I don’t know what to expect, or how my working relationship with Dominik will be now after what happened last night, but I absolutely cannot wait to see him. But as the elevator door

I glance down at my watch. The car should be here by now.I’m anxious. I’m actually anxious waiting for her, and I never get anxious. I wasn’t anxious for tonight’s dinner with the starlet who’s tearing up the charts with her new hit single, I wasn’t anxious when we went to the board of Dash to buy their company, and I wasn’t anxious seven years ago when the company was at risk of going under. But I’m anxious now.Why? Because I want Sofia here right now, and the car should have been here three minutes ago. So where the hell are they?No one at work knows about us, so it’s silly to think that there could have been a kidnapping. If the car had broken down, I would have gotten an immediate update from the driver. And the GPS tracker on my phone shows the dot right on top of mine, so they should be here.I go to the window again and glance outside just as the car pulls up out front. Instantly, I feel my whole body relax. I take a breath and watch as the door opens and she steps out. My b

Trying not to be giddy and grinning like a little girl at work is the hardest part of my day today, especially since I’m new and don’t know everybody like that yet.Last night was incredible, and sleeping over at Dominik’s was pure magic. We took a car to the office together, but I got out a block down the street and came in a few minutes after just so no one would suspect anything. Even though Dominik is CEO and can make or break his own rules about office romance, we decided to still keep things on the downlow for now, just so it doesn’t seem like the boss’ new girl got her position by putting herself in every...position.His replacement phone in one hand and a stack of files from Carlos in the other, I stride up to Dominik’s office door and knock in a very girly way, a way that will let him know without question that it’s me.“Yes?” Dominik replies with a tone that lets me know he knows. Warmth fills my chest as I open the office door and step inside.“Hello, Mr. Cruz,” I say in my
