Chapter 6

Lily

The memory of Jack's skillful hands roaming my body, and the raw emotion that consumed us in his office, still lingers as I step into the manufacturing plant.

I can't help but replay the moments of our heated encounter.

The scent of his musky cologne, the roughness of his stubble against my skin, and the possessive way he held me close… I'm on cloud nine, knowing he feels the same way I do.

As I make my way to my desk, the hum of machinery and the clanging of metal provide a comforting soundtrack to my daydreams. I'm lost in thought, replaying every second of last night. I'm so caught upin my reverie that I almost don't notice the curt email summoning me to his office.

My heart flutters as I approach the door, thinking that maybe he wants to continue where we left off.

I knock softly, and his deep voice beckons me inside. The sight of him behind his desk, looking every bit the brooding, stoic man I've come to desire, makes my pulse quicken.

But as I take my seat across from him, the furrow in his brow deepens.

He clears his throat. "Lily, about yesterday," he says, short and clipped. "I think it's best if we don't do this thing anymore. We need to maintain a professional relationship."

The words hit me like a sucker punch. My mind races, trying to reconcile the man who had so adamantly claimed me just yesterday with the one now sitting across from me. But I can’t, because the man sitting across from me now is determined to put a wall between us.

I can feel the heat rising in my cheeks as I struggle to maintain my composure. "What do you mean, Jack?"

He looks away, avoiding my gaze. "I mean... we can't cross that line again. The deal is done. You can leave now."

I feel as if the floor has dropped out from beneath me. My heart aches, and I struggle to hold back the tears that threaten to spill down my cheeks.

With a heavy heart, I rise from my seat. "I understand," I manage to choke out, doing my best to keepmy voice steady.

I can't bring myself to look at him, focusing instead on the worn wooden surface of his desk. I can feel the weight of his gaze on me, but I refuse to meet it. It is clear to me now that everything he said last night was all in the heat of the moment.

It didn’t mean anything.

I return to my desk, my heart heavy and my mind reeling. The familiar hum of the manufacturing plant fades into the background as I stare blankly at my computer screen, the cursor blinking accusingly at me. I know what I have to do, but the thought of it fills me with a sense of dread.

There’s no way I can stay here, sitting in this office across from him every day, pretending like none of this ever happened.

With trembling fingers, I open a new email and begin to type.
