Gently, he pushed me backwards, and my back pressed against the door. It closed shut behind me, the stark sound rattling through me in the ensuing silence.

I licked my lips, and his gaze glanced down to follow the tip of my tongue.

I drew my lip in between my teeth, and a feral look crossed his face.

His lips sought out mine again, and just as before, I responded. His tongue tangled with mine, owning me, claiming me, possessing me with that single kiss. His hold on me was assertive, yet there was a tenderness beneath that firm grip, a hint of something deeper, more profound than mere physical desire.

The world around us seemed to fade away as we lost ourselves in the passion. His lips moved with precision, calculated yet filled with a raw intensity.

When that kiss finally broke, my heart was hammering in my chest. I allowed myself to look up into his eyes, and the dark intent I saw within them made a jolt of anxious arousal shoot straight down to my clit.

I hated that my panties were soaking wet.

I hated that my nipples were hard as rocks.

I hated that I was so turned on right now.

His eyes, darkened with a mixture of desire and something deeper, held mine with a predatory focus. The set of his jaw, the slight flare of his nostrils, and the way his chest rose and fell more rapidly than before, all spoke of a raw, almost savagely animalistic desire. He stood there, his posture both commanding and slightly tense, as if he were wrestling with the urge to pull me back into his embrace.

After a moment that seemed to stretch on indefinitely, Hunter’s expression shifted subtly, a hint of restraint appearing in his eyes. With deliberate care, he took my left hand in his right, his touch firm yet gentle. Then, guiding my hand, he placed it on the doorknob.

“We can forget this ever happened and you can leave now,” he said, his gaze never leaving mine. “But let’s not pretend that we both didn’t want that, that it didn’t mean something.”

He was giving me a choice.

As I stood there, hand on the doorknob, a storm of emotions coursed through me. Part of me wanted to stay, to explore whatever this chemistry that was sparking between us was. Yet another part, the part anchored in reality and professional integrity, knew the implications of crossing that line.

My mind was a whirlwind of ‘shoulds’ and ‘wants’, each arguing its case with equal fervor. Should I walk away and keep everything strictly professional, as I had always done? Or should I give in to whatever this was between us?

I didn’t know what to do.

We stood there in silence for a moment that felt like an eternity, the tension between us thick and palpable. Hunter’s eyes never left mine, and in them I saw a reflection of my own turmoil, a shared understanding of the precipice we were both standing on.

Then, almost as if my body was acting on its own volition, I locked the door.

This time, I was going to give in.

CHAPTER 6

Morgan

The sound of the lock turning was jarring, reverberating through me like the first clap of thunder in the middle of a raging hurricane.

It sealed me into my own personally-chosen doom.

I swallowed so loudly that he probably heard it. I wanted this, wanted him, more than I’d allowed myself to admit. The professionalism, the rules, the potential consequences—they all faded into the background, overshadowed by a desire too potent to resist.

The look in his eyes shifted, reflecting a mix of surprise and a deep, smoldering intensity.

I was going to fuck my boss, because that’s what he was, right?

I closed my eyes.

That’s right.

Your boss…

I hadn’t really admitted it to myself until now, but my body was tingling with heat. No matter what I tried to tell myself, there was no way I was escaping this office now without knowing what his cock felt like between my thighs, and a deep, shameful part of me was excited about the very wicked nature of that.
