Anna’s POV“Yes,” the girl with the wild blonde whispered, her head thrown back, and her back ached. I moved on my bed, my thighs pressed tight, face flushed, and a sudden warmth in the pit of my stomach. When the girl moaned again, the sound travelling through every core in my body, I left the phone by my side and closed my eyes, allowing the feeling to wash through me.I didn’t need to check the phone to know what was going on. I could tell from the sounds, from his groans. I knew her fingers had dug into his back. I knew that anytime soon, she was going to reach her peak.My breathing got shallow, and I reached for the boards of my bed, biting hard on my bottom lip.“Fuck it,” I whispered, reaching slowly for the band of my shorts. A hand splayed on my flat belly, I lowered it, my eyes closed, my body anticipating.But the wild blonde stopped moaning suddenly, and my room was filled with the shrill sound of my phone ringing.“Fuck!” I sighed again, taking a deep breath. My legs qui

Anna’s POVFixing errors in a report that I hadn’t seen before was one thing, but staying in the office all day just because our new CEO had refused to show up was another. It was almost 9 pm. Four hours after the company’s official closing hour, yet the second Archer son had decided to be a jackass.“Are you sure he’s still coming today?” I questioned, turning to Alex, who had taken to playing mobile games. It was great that he could find something to distract himself with. I couldn’t.“I don’t know, Anna,” he replied. “Grace has instructed us to wait, and as long as you are not willing to walk into her office and ask her that question, then we have no choice but to wait.”“Urghhh!” I groaned, slouching into my seat. I had planned on going home earlier today. The apartment was a mess because I’d been working here late into the night. I needed to put it in order, not to mention the fact that I still had to stop by Luke’s to get my things.“So disrespectful.”“What?”“The new CEO.” I s

Anna’s POV“You can speak, you know?” His voice pierced through the silence that had been our only accompaniment for the past five minutes.“The last time I tried that, I ended up playing a game that I think is going to backfire on me.”He regarded me for a second before pulling his gaze back to the road. “You seem certain that you won’t enjoy the game,” he murmured. “You should remember, Anna, that sometimes certainty doesn’t always mean the truth.”“Like in the report?” It was hard to hide the sarcasm in my tone. “Yeah, right. I figured.”“That is no way to talk to your boss, Miss Lane.”“I forgot we were back to being CEO and intern.” I shot back. But I regretted it a second later. I needed to watch my words around Carson. By doing almost nothing, he managed to make me feel the most intense emotions.Predominantly anger.We pulled up in front of my apartment complex, and Carson got out of the car before I did. “Is this where you leave?”“Yes, Sir,” I replied, biting down my need to

I got to the office so early that the elevators still smelled like cleaning solution.That alone should have been my first warning that the universe was up to something.The lobby was quiet, almost eerily so, and for once, I didn’t have to fight for space at the bus stop or squeeze between bodies half-asleep and half-angry. I’d left my apartment before the sun had fully risen, my mind replaying last night on a loop I couldn’t shut off no matter how hard I tried.Carson.Luke.The report.The promise I shouldn’t have made.By the time I reached my desk, my nerves were already frayed, but at least one thing worked in my favor—I was early. Painfully early. Grace couldn’t yell at me for being late today, and that small victory was something I intended to cling to.I dropped my bag on my chair, switched on my computer, and exhaled slowly.Okay. New day. Clean slate.I pulled up the corrected report immediately, scanning through it once more even though I already knew every number by heart

I stood there longer than I should have, staring at the closed door of Carson’s office as if it might open again and offer some kind of explanation.It didn’t.The silence pressed in on me, thick and uncomfortable, and I suddenly became acutely aware of how out of place I felt standing alone in his house. My pulse was still racing, my thoughts scattered and sharp at the edges.What the hell did I just get myself into?I exhaled slowly and forced my body to move. Before leaving the room, I smoothed my skirt, tugged my blazer back into place, and pushed my hair behind my ears, trying to look like someone who hadn’t just walked into a situation she very much hadn’t been meant to see.My reflection stared back at me from a darkened window—eyes too alert, cheeks faintly flushed.Get a grip, Anna.I walked back through the quiet halls, my steps echoing softly. The house felt different now, less impressive and more unsettling, like I’d wandered into a space I hadn’t been invited into at all.
