When she bent over and slipped her little thong off, I snapped.
“It’s. Over,” I reiterated.
Heather clucked, advancing with her panties hanging off one finger. “You can’t just cut me out like that, Bossman. You can’tjust treat me like trash as soon as your perfect wife steps back in.”
“Shut the fuck up.”
“I won’t,” she said with full-blown confidence. It was a threat. A subtle one, but deathly all the same.
I was shaking, utterly lost. “What do you want?”
“You.”
I flinched, crashing into a filing cabinet behind me. Heather took advantage by pushing her thong into my jacket pocket whilst simultaneously grazing her opposite hand over my dick. Which was shamelessly hard. I couldn’t help but release a pained grunt.
Please, no.God, no.
“One more time,” Heather whispered over my neck, her tone filled with delight as she continued to rub my cock. “One last hurrah to get each other out of our systems, then, I promise I won’t say a word to anyone. It’ll be our little secret.”
My lungs were spasming, on the verge of hyperventilating. Ihatedher, but I hated myself more.
She was promising the forbidden when I already had paradise waiting at home.
As I went to push Heather away, she totalled me with her final strategic play. “Unless…you don’t want it to be a secret? And you want me to telleveryone.”
Her directive was loud and clear. I either fuck her then and there, or she was going to scream our transgressions from the rooftops.
My palm raised to cover her mouth to cease the infectious words polluting my thought process.
Blood rage tunnelled forth, spiralling and cultivating into dreaded bloodlust. I wanted todestroyher, and my cock was in agreeance for all the wrong reasons.
I didn’t have a hope in hell when she pivoted her head and sucked on my thumb, following the wet, hot drag with a nasty bite on the end.
Pre-cum seeped from my shaft.
I shoved her away. “This is thelast.Fucking. Time.You hear me? So make it count.”
Heather’s features ignited with lust as she lifted herself on top of the photocopier machine, flashing me that desperate, thirsting pussy. Then she provocatively pulled a condom out of her bra, tearing the corner with her teeth.
“Please, Bossman. You know how much I need your cock. You know I can’t live without it.”
I fumbled with my pants. It was going to be hard, fast and full of animosity.
And just before I was going to give in to the final vestiges of my own self-destruction, two sharp words cut through the room with the force of a detonating grenade, splintering apart my world as I knew it.
“I quit!”
My gaze hit the doorway where my employee, Alicia, stood pale and shocked. Reality warped as she fled, and my brain didn’t reboot in time for me to catch her.
Chapter 4
STELLA
My fingers shook as I reapplied my red lipstick in the bathroom mirror.
Since that life-changing event two weeks earlier, I had let myself wallow in despair for one night only. Then, I set my sights on what needed to be done. It had taken a lot of juggling and shifty moves, but Mama was back in action, baby.
I’d told the board I wanted my return to be a surprise for my dear husband, and oh, what a surprise it was.
