Today marks the rest of my life. After struggling to deal with my old boss, I don’t ever have to go back and can start at a thriving company. Hopefully, my new boss isn’t a total asshat. Fingers crossed.
I put on a navy mid-length dress and black heels after curling my hair and applying my reasonable amount of makeup. Why am I so nervous? It takes me too long to get ready and I miss my mark to see Adler for our morning coffee run-in, so I shoot him a text.
Me: Start a new job today and took too long getting ready. At least you don’t have to worry about paying for my coffee =)
The three dots appear and a picture comes through of his cup sitting on a desk, which I presume to be his office.
Me: Nice desk you got there
I grab my purse and keys and lock the door behind me.
Adler: All I can think about is all the things I want to do to you on it.
Oh, come on! I can’t be sexually frustrated walking into the new job. He can’t do this.
Me: Okay, calm down. Let me know when you want to get together again. I don’t think everyone wants to see my naked ass on your desk.
The elevator opens on the main floor and there he is.
“What are you doing here? I give him a hug. “Thought you were already at work?”
“Being the boss has its perks. Your cup of coffee, my lady.”
Oh my god! Is he perfect or what? Just show me your flaws now!
“You didn’t have to do that.”
He places a passionate kiss on my lips. “But I wanted to especially after last night. Would you like to get together again tonight?”
Wow, he is breaking all the dating rules. No waiting to text me until days after our first date. I like this man. “I’m not sure how long I’ll be in the office today, but sure.”
He puts his hand on the small of my back and leads me out to a car waiting. “Get in. I’ll take you wherever you need to go.”
When I tell the driver the address, Adler’s eyes focus on mine. “Wait, you said you just started a new job?”
“Yeah.”
The car moves and he scratches his chin. “You wouldn’t be working for Ravenwood now, would you?”
My eyes go wide. “Yeah, you work in the same building. Remember the elevator?”
He shakes his head. “No, sweetheart. I own Ravenwood.”
Of course, I’m fucking my boss. That’s the only logical explanation for why this has all been too good to be true. “You’ve got to be fucking kidding me, Adler.”
What am I supposed to do now? I don’t want to stop seeing him and just because he owns the company, so what? He’s not my direct supervisor, so it shouldn’t matter what we do in the privacy of our own lives.
“Should I call them and let them know I can’t take the job?” I pull out my phone, begging for him to tell me no because if it comes down to it, the job has to come first. Especially after everything I have been through to get it.
“Don’t you dare. Just behave yourself in the office and we will be square.”
How am I supposed to behave myself having this man around the office with me after everything he does to me in our private time? It’s impossible.
Especially going back to thinking about all the things he wants to do with me on his desk...this is not going to be easy.
