“Vic?” He raised an eyebrow himself. Maybe I had overstepped, but he didn’t seem to mind. Instead, a hint of alpha pheromones floated on the air.

Flustered, I tried to recover. “Um, sorry, I didn’t mean-”

He cut me off. “You’re plucky. I like that. Just watch yourself, or you’ll get in big trouble with me. Got it?” The alpha lion was intimidating, and as plucky as I was, it was hard not to shake a little bit from his power. Still, there was something in his tone, some hidden intention that made my knees slam together, trying to hide how much he turned me on. Should I push it a little further, see what getting in trouble with him really looked like?You need your job, Bobby. Behave, for once.

“Got it,” I squeaked. I scurried back to my office, scared and horny, a combination I never knew I’d be so into.

There were some things I had little experience with or didn’t know, and I had bluffed a bit to get the job, but I was still damn good at what I did, and I was gonna show Mufasa what “executive assistant” really meant. I set to work putting together a series of reports. There were over a thousand employees in the smaller company, from factory workers to top executives, including their own CEO. What were the most important factors in showing the efficiency and value of an employee, relative to what they were being paid? I came up with a dozen factors and began to plug in the numbers. If I did my best to make the employees from the other company look as valuable as possible, well, that was my little secret.

As the day wore on, Victor got more testy and less flirty. We were behind, and it looked like we weren’t going to meet our deadlines to finalize the merger if we didn’t figure something else out, andnow. Every five minutes, he was roaring my name, and not in a fun way, and I was jumping up to run into his office and see what he needed.

“Bobby, I need their CEO’s proposal for the merger in a hard copy, now.”

“Bobby, call Supply chain and see how they’re proposing to handle the seventy-five percent increase in output.”

“Bobby, get international on the line so we can get the ball rolling on distribution in Canada.” The original reports he’d given me fell lower and lower down the priority list.

I had people running around like crazy to help me, too. There was a little button on the desk for me to summon the interns. If they worked their asses off, they might get permanent positions at the company. They might be able to work their way up and become high-level executives, given enough time. However, I belonged to the boss. None of them were more important than me.

I belong to the boss? I need to stop thinking that way.Of course I wanted to be underneath him, getting owned hard and fast, but it was a drive I needed to ignore. So was that voice that kept saying mine, over and over again. I didn’t stop for lunch. Instead, I ate a bag of chips. Then I ate the bag.

I worked frantically, but relatively peacefully, until the roar broke the silence.

“Bobbyyyyyyyy!” I was in big trouble.

BOBBY

The endof the day was fast approaching, but the end of the work was not. Through the doorway, a fearsome rumble began, starting with a shaking in my toes and upward through the rest of my body. Another moment to be horny and scared at the same time.

“Bobbyyyyyyyyy!” That lion growl shook my chest like I was at a metal concert. I was a forward-thinking modern omega, so I had no problem saying I wanted to hear it rumbling in my ear, preferably from behind while he mounted me.Stay cool, Bobby. Tamp all those feelings down. Time to be a professional.

“Yes, Dear. What pressing issue might there be now?” He gave me a quick sideways glance that told me he didn’t appreciate my sass right now. I huffed and crossed my arms over my chest. “Okay, fine, what’s going on?”

Victor slowly stood up behind his desk. His face was both regal like the lion he was, and grave like our situation. He rounded the desk and came to stand in front of me. So close, I had to crane my neck to look at him and hold my breath to keep from getting aroused by the scent of him. I only came up to Vic’s chest and he was broad, probably as wide as two of me.

“The reports,” his deep voice boomed.

I fired back immediately. “Not done.”

His voice dropped an octave, his anger simmering just beneath the surface. “Excuse me?”

I held firm. “Listen, I’m Superomega, but even I couldn’t get to the reports with all the work you needed me to do.”

He banged his fist into his palm with asmack. “I need those reports done tonight.”

I shrugged. “No problem. I’m ready for an overnighter. I’ll come work right next to you until we’re done, Boss Lion.”

He nodded, a glint of something feral and sexy in his eyes. “Fine then.”

“You know,” I said, raising my chin and leaning in close, “all you had to do was ask. I was planning to stay anyway.”

That disarmed him. “Oh. Well,” he huffed, “it’s your job. That’s why I pay you that exorbitant salary.”

“Yes, but I’ll tell you a little trade secret. C’mere, c’mere.” I waved him down to my level. Confused and curious, he bent over at the waist so I could whisper in his ear.Take me right now on top of your desk,my brain said.I’m yours and you’re mine.What I said instead was, “I’m only staying because I love my job and my coworkers, and want what’s best for the company. And because I care aboutyou. Not because of some silly job duties you typed on a piece of paper. Got it?” There, I just said it out loud. I cared about Victor.

“Oh,” he said again, surprise and softness in his voice. It took him a second to gather himself, smoothing down his tie and clearing his throat. “Thanks, Bobby.”
