Carrie smiles widely. “Will do, and congrats again. You deserve this project.”
As soon as my co-worker steps away from my cubicle, I lean back in my swivel chair and close my eyes for a moment, taking in everything I’ve just learned.
I can hardly believe how wild my life has become over the past several days. I’ve reconnected with my childhood crush, made a plan to make him pay for bullying me, and now he’s hired me to work on a massive project. Not to mention, I’ve had sex with him twice and exchanged quite a few heated sexts. Mmm-mm.
I rub at my eyes, grateful for the chance to advance my professional life, but suddenly wondering where this may leave me in my personal one. On the one hand, I’m not overly concerned with spending time with Carlton. He’s easy going and I know we’ll be able to keep our two worlds separate. There might be times when it’s tricky, but I think we’ll be able to manage.
No, my greater concern stems from the fact that I’m dead-set on making Carlton fall in love with me in order to break his heart and make him pay for all the hurt he caused me. In fact, I’ve had this goal for years now, and I want to humiliate him in the process too. Yet, the slight occurred when I was ten, so it seems somewhat petty to be scheming like this. Am I ready to let it go? Am I ready to forgive and forget?
Of course not, because he doesn’t even know how much he hurt me. That’s how terrible it is. I was nothing but a mite, and now, the moment has come. I can strike hard, strike fast, and then leave a wound so deep that he’ll remember me forever. Yet will I regret it? What if I develop feelings for him somewhere along the way?
I recoil from the thought. I don’t want to admit that I’m falling for Carlton again, even to myself, because the better part of me senses that beneath Carlton’s charming façade is a good man who may genuinely care. Have I been wrong all this time?
I lean my elbows on my desk and cup my chin in my hands, contemplating my situation.
I have an agenda in all of this, I remind myself sharply. Don’t lose sight of the target now, Ramona, just because he has a huge cock.
And that’s what is comes down to: Carlton, as amazing as he is, is still the person who broke my heart and bruised my ego all those years ago. I sit up, reminding myself that I need to keep my head on straight when it comes to Carlton James and his romantic ways. I need to keep my emotions in check and my feelings at a safe distance.
Resolute, I turn my attention back to my work.
But despite my newfound determination, I feel my heart leaping with excitement.
Carlton James, I think to myself. How do you always make me feel so helpless?
Unable to resist talking to him, I grab my phone and send him a quick text, thanking him for the new assignment.
Within seconds, he responds, demanding that we have dinner together on Saturday to celebrate our newest venture. Outside the bedroom this time, sweetheart, he writes. Although I can’t wait to see you in that lingerie set I had delivered.
I giggle because our sessions are always so naughty, and the panty set he selected is from Lace Secrets, a boutique known for its risqué lingerie. Sure enough, when I opened the box, there was a filmy bra and panty set, except that there were cut-outs for my nipples and pussy! OMG, I can’t believe Carlton wants to see me wearing this.
But there’s only a moment of hesitation before I answer with an enthusiastic ‘yes!’ Then I giggle to myself, cheeks going hot at my desk.
Who says I can’t have a little fun with the man while I exact my revenge? I ask myself. Besides, I remind myself, part of the plot is to make him fall head over heels for me, and romantic dinners mixed with naughty play are the perfect setting.
I shake my head and put my phone away, determined to get some work done. Like a good employee, I quickly open up a client portfolio to distract myself. But I find that I’m unable to rid my mind of images of Carlton’s piercing blue eyes and chiseled body. What will it feel like to have him inside me again? God, I need to get the revenge ball rolling … but not before I enjoy some more hot times with the gorgeous billionaire.

The car Carlton sent to pick me up pulls up to the pier and rolls to an easy stop at the end of one of the docks.
