“Human beings who hang that close to you, go on tabloids.”
“You’re pretty enough to be on the front page.” How does he keep saying these things, and why do they make me smile?
“That’s not the point.”
“Then what is?”
“You’re my boss.”
“Temporary boss,” he corrected, “And?”
“What do you mean by ‘and’?”
“As in what’s the point in stating the obvious.”
“You’re impossible.”
“I’m reckless.” Trust me, I could see that.
As we continued to talk by the lake, the conversation flowed effortlessly, filled with moments of playful banter and undeniable chemistry.
Dillon leaned in, his eyes curious as he asked, “So, how are you enjoying your time at the internship?”
I smiled, genuinely pleased with the experience. “It’s been incredible, actually. I like it there and, well, it has its perks, too.”
He chuckled, a hint of mischief in his eyes. “Perks? Care to elaborate on those?”
My heart raced as I felt the tension build. “Oh, you know, in house coffee machine, how amazing it’ll look on my resume…”
Dillon’s gaze intensified, and he softly said, “that’s all?”
I shrugged. “Maybe I find my boss interesting.”
“Obviously, who wouldn’t?”
“Cocky?”
“No,” he said coolly, “confident.”
In that moment, the world seemed to disappear. Our eyes locked, and it was as if there was an unspoken understanding between us.
And then it happened, a kiss so gentle and electric that time seemed to stand still. Our lips met in a sweet, stolen moment that left us both breathless.
As we pulled away, I just realized what happened. I kissed my boss.
Wait no, he kissed me. Holy shit, we kissed.
And what did I do after? I ran away and drove straight home.
CHAPTER 11

I got home, my heart still racing from the evening’s events. I probably shouldn’t have ran away but what else was I supposed to do? Of everything to expect that night, I didn’t expect that I’d kiss him. And what’s even more disturbing, I liked it. I’d do it again. My attraction to him was becoming a problem.
I kicked off my heels and flopped down on my bed, trying to process what had happened at the party. That had been a moment of madness, but not regret. And now, I was freaking out.
I knew I needed someone to talk to, so I grabbed my phone and dialed Abigail’s number. She answered almost immediately.
