I will not hump Peyton again.
I will not hump Peyton again.
There was a pile of work for me to complete, countless emails I had to respond to, and my mind was on last night and the man who sat across from me where he stared down at his desk, lost in thought.
This was my fault. I could have told him last night, but I didn’t.
Sure, I blamed Dexen too. He was partly responsible, though not fully.
Could I quit both jobs and move? Maybe Jordan had a position open as a drug runner.
Nah, I wasn’t cut out for a life of crime. Plus, I hated him.
My screen came into focus. I had typed that damn sentence for four pages.
Command-A.
Delete.
If Perry or Peyton saw that, I’d have to fake something bigger than a spider attack. It was a good thing my back was to the wall, and no one could look at my screen.
And it was Friday. Perry and Peyton would head out to the Lynx fortress tonight, away from me and, hopefully, I wouldn’t be bothered. If Perry had Peyton to listen to him, he didn’t call or text me as much with things I needed to do on Monday.
Perry was a great boss. He didn’t expect me to work on weekends, unless we were traveling or something major happened. I would. For him, I’d do almost anything.
Except tell him what happened between Peyton and me. Hard pass.
Perry came out of his office again, looking from Peyton to me. “Are you two okay?”
I quirked an eyebrow. “Are you?”
“What?”
I shrugged.
“I killed him,” Peyton muttered.
Perry turned to face him. “You killed who?”
“The spider.”
“Oh. That’s good. I knew I kept you around for a reason.”
Peyton’s eyes met mine across the aisle, Perry forgotten. There was a heat to his gaze. One that had me squirming in my chair.
I couldn’t do this.
I started typing again.
I will keep my cock in my pants.
I will keep my cock in my pants.
Given the chance for another shot with Peyton, even I didn’t believe my cock would remain firmly behind zippered doors.
In addition to my crush on my boss, I lusted after his best friend. Lovely. All the planets were aligning for this monumental moment. Just what I needed.
