I was already shutting my laptop when they blocked the door.Not one person. Two. Claire from legal and Ryan from the projects team, both standing there like they'd planned exactly where to put their feet. Like they'd been waiting for five o'clock on purpose."Nora." Claire’s voice was flat. "We need a minute."I looked between them. "I was literally just leaving —""It won't take long."What was going on?By the time they walked me back to the main floor, half the office was still there. End of day stragglers. People who should have been packing up their bags, but weren't. They were watching. Some pretending not to, which was worse.Sienna was already standing at the front.She had printed documents in her hand. She always printed things when she wanted them to feel official, real and hard to argue with."We've been made aware," she started, loud enough for the whole room, "that confidential details from the Meridian project were leaked to a competitor. The Meridian pitch. The one we'

Helped her set it up

I swung the door open.I don't even remember turning the key. One second I was in the hallway and the next I was inside. The light from the bedroom was spilling out into the dark living room and I was just…..standing there.Processing.Because what I was seeing didn't make sense yet. My brain was still loading. Still trying to find a different explanation for what was right in front of me.The bedroom door was open.And Daniel wasn't alone.Sienna was on all fours on the bed, her back arched deeply, dark hair falling loose down her spine and swaying with every forceful thrust. Daniel was behind her, gripping her hips tightly as he drove into her from behind, his cock sliding in and out of her wet pussy with wet, rhythmic slaps. Her full breasts swung heavily beneath her, nipples hard, and she was moaning loudly, pushing back against him to meet each deep stroke. The scent of sex, sweat, her arousal, and his musk, hung thick in the air. Daniel's face was tense with pleasure, one hand t

Will you sleep with me tonight?

I don't remember deciding to go to a bar.I just ended up in one.That's the only way I can explain it. One minute I was standing outside Daniel's building already heartbroken and the next, I was on a barstool somewhere loud and dim, with a glass of something that burned in front of me and no clear memory of how I got there.I drank it.Ordered another.My head was a complete disaster. Thoughts kept crashing into each other and breaking apart before I could finish them. Daniel and Sienna. Sienna and Daniel. Long before you, Nora. The Meridian files. The way he reached for his phone while he was talking to me like I wasn't even worth the full attention it took to end a relationship.You got what you deserved.I pressed my fingers against my eyes.God, why was my life a mess all of a sudden?How did my stepfather even know about Daniel? That was the part I kept snagging on.Victor Vance, sitting somewhere in his big house with his money and his people, quietly pulling strings around my

Spread your legs

The stranger didn’t say yes. He didn’t say no either.He just looked at me for two long seconds, then jerked his head toward the back of the bar. “VIP lounge. Now.”My legs felt loose from the drinks, but I followed him. The world tilted a little as we moved through the crowd. His hand landed on the small of my back. Not gentle, just firm enough to steer me. We passed a bouncer who nodded at him like they knew each other. A black curtain, then stairs, then another door.The second the door to the VIP lounge clicked shut behind us, the noise from the bar dropped to a dull thump. Dim red lights. One big leather couch. A low table. No one else.I didn’t even wait.The second we were inside, I turned and crashed into him. My hands grabbed his shirt. My body pressed hard against his. I started grinding on his thigh like I had no shame left, hips rolling messy and desperate.“Fuck…” I breathed against his chest.He let out a low chuckle, dark and mean. “Look at you. Already humping my leg l

No one is touching her

The ceiling was unfamiliar.That was the first thing.I lay there for a full second just staring at it, waiting for my brain to catch up with the rest of me. White ceiling. Dark curtains. Sheets that were too soft to be mine.Then everything came back at once.I sat up so fast the room tilted.The other side of the bed was empty. Cool to the touch when I pressed my hand against it, which meant he'd been gone for a while. His side barely looked slept in. The whole room barely looked like anyone lived in it, clean, sparse, the kind of space that didn't give anything away.I pressed my fingers against my eyes and just breathed for a second.Okay.Okay.I looked down. I was wrapped in a bedsheet, my dress from last night folded on the chair by the window. On top of it, a plain white shirt and a skirt.I stared at them.He'd left clothes out for me.Something about that small thing made my throat tighten in a way I didn't have the time or the energy to deal with. I pushed it down, got up,

Let's go

I turned around slowly and forgot how to breathe.It was him.The man from last night stood near the entrance of the lobby in a dark suit that probably cost more than three months of my salary. His dark eyes fixed on me like he recognized me too.For one horrible second, I genuinely thought I might faint.No. No way.My stomach dropped so hard it hurt.The bar. The hotel room. His hands on my waist. The white shirt I'd just worn out of his apartment less than an hour ago. And it was still on me.And now he was standing here. At Voss & Greene. In front of everyone.Christ, what the hell did you get yourself into last night??The entire lobby shifted."Good morning, sir.""Sir.""Mr. Draven."People straightened immediately around me. Receptionists, staff, even the security guards. Mr. Shawn moved first. "Welcome, sir."Sir.My fingers slowly loosened around the papers in my hand.The new CEO.Oh God. He was the new CEO.He looked exactly the same as he had last night. Calm and controll

Ms. Vance Stays

Nobody spoke as Mr. Shawn shut the door behind us. Two security staff were already inside, both looking nervous the second the CEO walked in behind me. One of them stood immediately. "Sir.""I need footage from the Meridian floor." His voice stayed calm. "Throughout the day."The guard nodded quickly and moved to the computer. I stayed near the back of the room with my arms folded tightly across my chest, trying not to look at him. Trying not to remember waking up in his bed this morning.Sienna stood near the door beside Mr. Shawn, composed again. Calm again. Like the panic from downstairs had never happened. But I saw the tension in her jaw. I saw it.The footage loaded slowly onto the screen. 10:00AM. The office floor appeared. Rows of desks, employees moving around, me at my desk. My stomach twisted watching myself on screen like that. Head down. Focused. I watched myself gather files and walk toward the conference room with two coworkers. Then my desk sat empty. One minute pass

What should I say?

The room stayed quiet after he left.Nobody moved immediately. It felt like the air itself had changed after he walked out. Like everyone was still trying to breathe normally again.I stood there staring at the closed door."Ms. Vance."The way he'd said it replayed in my head instantly. Calm. Controlled. Like last night had never happened. Like I hadn't woken up in his bed wearing his clothes.My chest tightened.Mr. Shawn suddenly cleared his throat beside me."Nora."I looked at him.For the first time since yesterday, he actually looked uncomfortable. Not irritated or dismissive. He looked ashamed.He rubbed a hand over his jaw. "I..." He glanced briefly toward the others still standing in the room. "Can we speak outside?"I almost laughed.Now he wanted privacy.Still, I followed him out into the hallway because honestly, I didn't want to stay in that room another second.The second the door shut behind us, he exhaled heavily."Nora, I owe you an apology."I folded my arms.He lo

Still wearing my clothes

My hands were cold by the time I reached the top floor.Which was ridiculous.Because I wasn't scared of him.I was nervous.There was a difference.At least that was what I kept telling myself while standing outside the CEO's office trying to breathe normally.The assistant at the front desk looked up politely. "Ms. Vance?""Uh... he asked to see me."She nodded immediately. "You can go in."That somehow made my chest tighten even more.I walked toward the office door slowly.Too slowly.Then stopped in front of it.For one second, I genuinely considered turning around and leaving the building entirely.Because what exactly was I supposed to say to him?Thanks for defending me after I accidentally slept with you before realizing you were my boss?I closed my eyes briefly. Stop overthinking.Then knocked."Come in."That voice again. Low and calm.I pushed the door open.And immediately regretted it.The office was huge.Floor-to-ceiling windows stretched across the back wall, showing

New position

I stared at him.My brain genuinely could not keep up with this conversation anymore.The office suddenly felt too warm.Too small.Too him."You're still wearing my clothes."The words stayed hanging between us.And the worst part?He wasn't even teasing me.He sounded calm. Completely calm while my heart was trying to break through my ribs.I pulled my blazer tighter again even though it did absolutely nothing."I didn't exactly have another option this morning.""Hm."That was all he said. Just that low sound in his throat while his eyes stayed on me.I swallowed hard."I should go.""You already said that."I frowned. "And I mean it this time."I tried moving again. His arm stayed where it was beside me on the desk. Not touching me. Still trapping me.I looked up at him carefully. "Are you going to let me leave?""You suddenly want to forget things?"The question caught me off guard."What?"He scoffed softly. Actually scoffed. Like I'd said something ridiculous."You're joking."
