Because I thought someone like Bash would never want someone like me.

And boy, has he proven me wrong.

Never in all my life has anyone shown up for me like Bash does.

For once, I don’t look in the mirror and question my worth.

My monster lover continues to show me that I’m someone of value and treasures me above all else.

When Bash meets my gaze, his is full of heat and promise.

I want to respond with a passionate stare of my own, but too many people are around.

Instead, I shoot him a small smile since I know how much he covets them.

Before Bash, all my happiness was reserved for Jake—he was the only thing that brought me true contentment.

But all that’s changed.

Smiling’s become easier, as natural as breathing, even here at work.

Bash’s expression falters as he looks at me before he speaks to everyone.

“Erm, great work today, team. Sounds like we’re all going to have a phenomenal week.”

My colleagues all get up and filter out, but I purposefully gather my things slowly.

“Wyn, a moment, please.”

No one stops when Bash voices his request, and I’m surprised they don’t hear the husky intonation.

Or maybe it’s just my imagination adding what isn’t there from my memories of the other night.

“Sure thing, Mr. Ettin.”

My boss’s pink gaze flares at my proper address, but it would be strange for me to call him anything else.

When it’s just the two of us, Bash comes over to take my hand.

“Mr. Ettin, is it?”

“You know I can’t call you anything else—everyone would suspect something is up.”

“Mmm, you’re right.”

“I know,” I tease.

“But I’m still going to spank you.”

“Hey!”

Bash chuckles. “Come on. I have a surprise for you.”

“A surprise?”

“Follow me.”

He takes my hand, dragging me out of the conference room.
