No. I’m not calling him. I sigh, before closing my eyes.
A voice filters to me from the bathroom. It’s low, but I recognize that rich baritone from last night. I heave a sigh of relief. Maverick hasn’t gone yet. Maybe he’s on a call. But who is he calling in the early hours of Saturday?
I lift myself off the bed and tiptoe to the door. My breath hitches as I lean forward, placing an ear on the door. I shouldn’t eavesdrop, but I want to know who he’s talking to. Maybe he has a wife? I didn’t even consider that last night.
“… Yes. It’ll be ready before Monday. I should start fully on Monday. Just had the last of my meetings yesterday.”
He pauses. My eyebrows furrow. Is he talking about work?
“HireCorp is in good hands. The takeover was smooth.” Another pause. “Yes, Monday. I have big plans for the company.”
I gasp. That’s when it clicks into place.
Maverick looks familiar because he’s the new owner of the company I work in!
Oh shit.
His voice ceases, meaning the call has ended. I hurry back to the bed and close my eyes, taking deep breaths to calm my racing heart. The bathroom door opens. Maverick’s arm hooks around my shoulders.
I blink, as if just waking. He grins at me.
“Hi there.”
Holding my neck, he draws me in for a thorough kiss. My pulse races as his lips brush over mine.
Here I am, making out with my boss, after a night of wild and hot sex.
I pull away. “L-let’s go get coffee.”
His finger circles around my breasts, before moving down to my pussy.
“There are better ways to start the day.” He grins, before turning me over.
I take deep breaths to calm my racing heart, but Maverick’s tongue over my clit makes my efforts futile. He grinds me to a climax that leaves a pit in my stomach. I’m left breathing heavily, my heart hammering from both from the spine-melting climax and my horrid discovery.
Chapter Four
Maverick
Thesilver-glassedbuildingaboutten floors tall comes into view, glimmering in the sunlight. The bold, red logo of an ant and the letters HireCorp are emblazoned on the top of the building, standing out in a sea of glass and sun.
It's not the first time I’m coming here, but today, I finally grip the reins. Throughout the last week, I’ve been preparing for this moment. I went straight from a strategy meeting on Friday to dinner, where I met Noelle.
My grip on the steering wheel tightens, and I take a deep breath.
Focus, Maverick. HireCorp is what’s important now. Time for pleasure has passed.
Ever since the acquisition of HireCorp, a recruiting agency, and its merger with my media firm, I’ve been busy with meetings with the former stakeholders and legal proceedings. Now, it’s time for me to take my place as the new CEO.
“Mr. Thatcher! You’ve arrived!”
A man waiting in the company’s parking lot where I’m pulling over waves at me, grinning. I clutch my briefcase and exit my car. It’s going to be a long day.
“Duncan, right?”
He nods. “Yes, Mr. Thatcher. It’s good to see you again! The members of your team are eager to meet you, but I suggest you take it one at a time. You won’t want to be burned out on your first day. Follow me, sir.”
I follow him, grateful he took the trouble of meeting me in the lot. Almost two decades or so younger than me, Duncan is a man with a lot of energy. It still amazes me how much vigor one person can have. He’ll be a great asset to the team if I can channel his energy to productive means.
