Jude chuckled. “I told you. I’m only a billionaire on paper. Besides, what’s the point of having a lot of space I don’t need? This is much simpler.”
As I followed him into the kitchen, I couldn’t help but mentally compare this place to Owen’s. Altogether, this couldn’t be more than a thousand square feet total. Compared to the other man’s sprawling penthouse condo, this apartment was downright humble.
It made me like Jude even more.
“Can I get you a drink?” he asked, opening his fridge. It looked like the same model I had at home. “I have Seven Crown and 7-Up, if you want a Seven and Seven.”
“Really?” I asked. “You liked the one I bought you that much?”
“What can I say? That night made an impression on me.” He gave me a boyish grin. “In more ways than one.”
“I’d love one,” I said. “But not now. After.”
Jude’s smile turned wolfish. “I was hoping you would say that.”
He kissed me, and I forgot all about the drinks and work and the San Francisco sunset outside the window.

After my first full week in the office, I felt like I had accomplished a lot. The roadmap was growing more detailed with every day. Tasks were getting completed, and we were slowly making progress on the larger objectives. It felt like we were actually advancing.
Not to mention everything Jude and I were doing.
Like the first weekend, I came into the office on Saturday and Sunday. There was still so much work to do. I didn’t mind coming in, anyway. When I was working on a big project, I threwallof myself into it. If I tried to stay home all weekend, I would probably just sit around thinking about work.
On Saturday, I had the office almost entirely to myself. Melinda was there to prepare for some of next week’s interviews, and she left by two in the afternoon. But on Sunday, when I arrived around ten, I found Jude in his office, fingers flying on his keyboard and headphones over his ears.
I gave him a friendly wink and went into my office to get to work. But for the next hour, I couldn’t focus on the code on my screen. I kept thinking about the cute coder boy in the office next to mine, and all the dirty things I wish I was doing with him.
At noon, I determined that nobody else would be coming in today. I rose, gathered my courage, and then went into Jude’s office. He removed his headphones and grinned.
“I saw you working on the timeout function,” he said. “If you need help, let me know. I’ve done several jobs like that before.”
I closed the office door behind me. “The onlyjobI’m interested in is the one I’m going to give you.” I sauntered across the room to him, feeling simultaneously sexy and silly. Jude’s eyes widened with curiosity as I went to my knees in front of him and unzipped his pants.
“It’s the middle of the day,” he breathed, though he made no motion to stop me.
“Nobody iscoming,” I said, grinning. “At least, not yet…”
I slid my hand into his slacks and found him hard and ready. His skin was hot as I pulled him out, keeping my face close enough so he could feel my breath on him.
“What if someone shows up late?” he asked.
“Better tint the windows then.”
Jude’s protests died on his lips as I began sucking on him, replaced by soft sighs and deep moans of pleasure.
I wouldn’t consider myself an expert at giving blowjobs, but I must have been doing something right based on the sounds Jude made deep in his throat. It felt like I had barely gotten started when the muscles of his thighs tensed and he groaned my name like a curse. I pulled back just in time, stroking him rapidly while he came all over my fingers.
I leaned up, brushed my lips against his, and said, “Enough fooling around. We’ve gotrealwork to do.” And I walked right out of his office, leaving him sitting in the chair, chest heaving with satisfaction.
As I washed my hands in the bathroom, I couldn’t help but grin at myself in the mirror. Sex was always one of those things that came along with a relationship, but wasn’t a hugely important part to me. But with Jude, I felt totally different about it. There was something about the man that made me feel sexier than I ever had before. Being with him made me want to be playful and fun anddirty.
And despite my initial reservations, there was something deliciouslynaughtyabout doing it with my boss. It was taboo. We didn’t want other people to find out. That made it so much more exciting than if he was a random guy I was dating.
It was easier because we were about the same age. It’s not like he was twenty years older than me. And since we had been working so closely together in the first week, he felt more like my colleague than my boss. An equal.
