Chapter 419

• I stretch out in my chair and arch my back; my desk is littered with papers, files, my laptop, and an overwhelming amount of random crap. The past few days have been hard, not made any easier by my oversexed boss-lover and his attempts at dragging me into his storeroom at every opportunity. He’s succeeded more times than I want to admit, making that couch almost like a bed away from home.
• He has finally settled into some work routine and left me alone today. I can see him through the open door with his head down as he types, focus intent, his old Carrero frown in place, showing he means business. I watch him for a few seconds with that familiar swell of love inside of me. I can’t stop it; every time I look at him, I have to pinch myself that this is real, that I’m really here. He senses my eyes on him and glances up, throwing me a knee-weakening smile, his boyish ‘I’m way too hot to be legal’ smile. I beam back and turn away, not wanting to give him too much encouragement. It doesn’t take much to send that libido of his spinning my way lately, and I’ve only just managed to get absorbed in my work.
• I hear his phone ring, and he sounds agitated when he answers; I know it’s her again. He’s refusing to sit down with the lawyers until they can reach some middle ground on where I fit in with this whole thing. Ever since our return, they have argued non-stop.
