Page 14 of Following His Orders

“Nathan, what are we doing?”

“I’m having a drink. You haven’t told me if you want one or not yet.” He pours himself a glass of amber liquid.

“I’m serious. You’re my boss. I’m throwing my career out the window before I’ve even had a chance to start it.”

“We’re both consenting adults, Bentley. I mean, you’rebarelyan adult but you are one. And I’ve been one for some time now. I think, whatever we do, we can be mature about it.” He sips at his glass.

“I worked really hard to get this position, Nathan.”

“You did. And you’re not at risk of losing it.” He sips again. “I have something for you,” he says, stalking towards me and taking my hand. “Come on.”

I follow him—well, let him pull me down a hallway and into a room. An office. Releasing my hand, Nathan walks over to the desk and picks up a piece of paper.

“What is this?” I ask when he hands it to me.

“It’s an NDA and an NSA,” he says, his tone matter of fact. Like it’s just another day in the office.

“NSA?” I parrot. I know what a nondisclosure agreement is, but for the life of me, I cannot work out what NSA stands for.

“Nonharassment suit agreement.” He smirks.

“You just made that up. That’s not even legal. This…” I gesture to the bullshit document. “…won’t hold up in a court of law,” I tell him.

“Maybe. But if it makes you feel better, I’ll sign it.”

“Why me?” I ask him. “You could have any woman, fuck the female population to your heart’s content. Why go through this kind of hassle for me?”

“I don’t want just any woman. I want you.”

“What happens when you don’t anymore?” I question him.

“We will cross that bridge when andifthat day ever comes.”

Folding the paper in half, I tuck it into my bag.

“You want a pen? We can sign it here, now…?” Nathan asks.

“I think I’ll read it properly first. I’m not in the habit of signing things without careful review.”

“And that’s what makes you a good lawyer.”

“You don’t know that I’m good yet.”

“I’ve seen your grades. I’ve seen your work this week. You’re good. If you weren’t, we never would have recruited you.”

“Thank you.” I smile, casting my eyes to the floor. I can feel my cheeks turning pink. It’s not that I’m not used to the praise. I am. I get plenty of it from my mum and sister. It’s just, coming from him, it seems like so much more than a simple compliment.

Nathan bends over, his shoulder connecting with my stomach, and then the world flips upside down. And I squeal. “What the hell? Put me down.”

A hand lands on my ass. “Nope, you’ve made me wait long enough. I’m not waiting another second,” he says.

My body flies through the air before I land on something soft and cloud-like. A mattress.A bed.I land onhisbed. I turn my head from side to side. This must be his bedroom. I’m in his bedroom. I’m in my boss’s bedroom about to have sex. With my boss. I really need to have my head examined. The simple fact that having sex with my boss seems like the best idea since sliced bread shows just how insane I really am.

“You have no idea how much I’ve wanted this.” Nathan stares down at me.

“Sex?” I question.

“You. Here. In my bed,” he says, pulling his shirt over his head. It occurs to me just now that I haven’t seen him naked yet. He had me stripped bare in my new office, yet he kept his clothes on.
