I Was Hired To Seduce My Boss
Marcus is in the back seat, his face pale, his hands clasped in his lap.
The cabin is hidden in a valley, surrounded by pines and silence. The lights are on, warm and golden, spilling through the windows like a promise.
"Stay close," I say to Liam. "Do not go inside until I tell you."
"Zoe—"
"I mean it."
He nods, his jaw tight.
I approach the front door. It is unlocked.
I push it open and step inside.
The interior of the cabin is warm, lit by a fire crackling in the hearth. A woman is sitting in an armchair, her back to me. Her hair is silver, pulled back in a loose bun. She does not turn when I enter.
