Chapter Seven

Bree

I'm not entirely sure what to expect from Emmett after our tryst in the office.

It was impulsive and crazy and ill-advised - not only is he my boss, but we're both still nursing broken hearts. Not that what Ryan did to me is anything like losing a spouse... but neither Emmett nor I are whole people right now.

Maybe that's why I followed him into the office. I had some nonsense prepared about how I needed help lifting the mixing bowl out of the dishwasher, even though I'd done it by myself a hundred times over the last few weeks. But we never got as far as my flimsy excuse, and maybe that's because we are broken people. We clung to each other in a moment of profound need, on a holiday that is painful for the broken-hearted everywhere, and my God, did it feel good.

Emmett's body against mine, the slight scruff of his beard, his hands on my thighs... and his mouth exploring my body. The minute we kissed, I shut out every thought in my head that said this was a mistake. And afterward, Emmett said it wasn't a mistake. He gave me an out, an invitation to pretend it never happened, and I refused to take it.

I wanted him then and I still want him now. I just hope he feels the same, for however long we need each other to mend our broken hearts.

"How was your night?" he asks. He stands a little closer to me than he used to and I catch a whiff of his spicy cologne. It warms my core and wets my panties.

"Not nearly as eventful as my afternoon," I tell him. "You?"

"Good," he says. "Hungry, though. There was a pizza, but by the time I finally got home, the girls had annihilated it and all that was left was an empty box and Caitlin's crusts."

"Sorry," I say with a little smile. "I shouldn't have kept you so long."

Emmett lets me into the bakery, locking the door behind us again as usual. Unlike our customary morning routine, he puts his hands on my hips and backs me up against the counter. He kisses me, his tongue sliding into my mouth. He tastes like hazelnut coffee and his cock is pressing against my thigh.

When he pulls back again, he says, "Don't apologize - I wouldn't trade that for all the pizza in the world."

My whole face is burning with desire by the time Emmett lets me go. As much as I'd love to tear his clothes off right here and now, the bakery opens in two hours and we've got orders to fill. And in any case, if we don't
