I’m too tired to blush, and I turn my attention to the pancakes. I’m not normally a breakfast eater, but I’m starving this morning. I guess that’s what happens after a night of drinking and awesome sex.

Tessa doesn’t have a problem chatting, though. “Who doesn’t enjoy screaming orgasms? Oh, that’s right. Roommates. You scared the shit out of me last night. You know that, right?”

Emery chuckles as he sips his coffee. “That’s fair. I’ll leave a sock on the door next time.”

I can’t handle this. “Any way we could talk about literally anything other than me screaming last night? Please? How about the color of the walls, or Emery’s hair, or maybe why tables have four legs?”

Tessa and Emery both laugh before Tessa pushes away from the table. “I’ve got to get ready for work. Thanks for the breakfast, Emery.”

He raises his cup of coffee to her as she walks into her bedroom. He just grins and watches me eat, but I put my fork down and look at him. “Are you going to be cold, Emery Brooks, or are you going to be the guy from last night?”

He cocks his head. “What do you mean? I’m never cold. I’m happy and energetic all day long.”

“I mean about me. Should I expect my boss, or the guy I’m sleeping with?”

He frowns. “Your boss most of the time. But when the door gets locked and the blinds are closed…Well, then you might end up with the guy from last night.”

That sends a shiver through me. I know I told him it was a fantasy of mine, but fantasies are supposed to stay hidden under the covers, or at least in the shadows. Not brought into the office.

“What if I tell you I don’t want that?”

His smile turns into a grin. “You can always tell me to stop, but I don’t think you will. Even if you’re terrified, I think you’ll be begging me to keep going.”

The arrogance that I’d initially hated only turns me on now. I understand why he’s so confident. There’s sex with him, and then there’s sex with anyone else.

“I thought you didn’t want anyone at the office to find out about us.” The words come out as barely more than a whisper, and we both know that he’s got me hooked just as tightly as any member of the Cult of Emery.

He reaches across the table to take my hand in his. It’s warm and strong, and that light touch soothes my fears as much as it soothed the fire and lightning last night. “I’ll be discreet, Madison. My office was soundproofed when it was built, and everyone knows not to knock on a closed door.”

That just makes the tremors worse. He really could use me like he did last night while we’re at work. He’s going to have me dripping from the time I walk into the office until I leave.

What have I done?

His grin fades as he stands up, and he says, “Well, I need to get to work. Sadly, we can’t show up together. It’d be a lot of fun to tease you all the way to the office.”

He sets the coffee cup on the table, and I want to say something. I want to be sassy and poke him, but it’s because I want him to stay for just a little longer. The words just don’t come to me.

He gives me one more smile, and then he walks out of the apartment. I’m left wondering what today is going to be like. Is he going to do all the things he hinted at? Is he just going to be a normal boss? I don’t know what to expect, but I know that I’m more excited and terrified of today than I was on my first day at Aspire.

Chapter 26

Emery

My body is singing today. Last night was something special, something I haven’t experienced before. There was such a connection between Madison and me, from the moment I saw her dancing to the moment she passed out in my arms.

It felt nearly impossible leaving this morning. The only saving grace is that I know she’ll be here, and I’ll get to have even more fun with her.

First, I have to get some work done, and that’s proving more difficult than I expected. I need to talk to Noah and Dante about finances and the projections for Q2, but my mind won’t go there. When I close my eyes, all I see is Madison bent over my desk with fingers playing between her spread legs.

The image changes, and I see her hiding under my desk, stripped naked, with her mouth around my cock. Her eyes staring up at me as she gags.

I knew she was dangerous, but I wasn’t expecting to be so consumed with her. How the hell am I supposed to go be Emery Brooks when all I want to do is fuck her?

Which brings me to the more important question, one that Tessa forced on me last night. How am I supposed to keep her happy when I have to show up to events with other women?

That ball of sex and sass is going to put so many wrenches into my life, but I can’t ignore the feelings I have toward her. I spent half of last night thinking things through, and I’ve made my decision. She makes me feel alive again, and it’s not just the sex. I had fun last night. Real fun. Stupid fun.

I’m going to let myself fall into this thing between us. Not dip my toes in.
