June

It was cowardly of me to email my resignation to HR instead of sending it to my boss. But needs must. I need to get on with my life, and the only way forward is to put him behind me and move on. I stare out of the window of my studio apartment.

I did the right thing, I know that.

No way, am I going to risk going into the office and seeing him with his fiancée-to-be. No way, am I risking the sparks between me and my boss, knowing he’s going to be marrying someone else. It’s so wrong and yet, I can’t stop thinking of him. Good thing, I don’t have to see him face to face.

If I did, there’s no telling what would happen. I can’t seem to control myself around him. One glare from those aquamarine eyes of his, one command in that rough voice and I’ll do anything he wants. Best not to put myself in that situation again. Best not to tempt myself, which is what happens whenever I see him.

I’m doing the right thing. I am. At least, I’m able to leave the job with a clear conscience. Of course, there’s the matter of those three orgasms he promised me… Oh, the look on his face when I told him I'd get them somewhere else! Ha! I wish I had a picture of that. Of course, I'd rather get them from him but— I shove the thought out of my mind. It doesn’t matter. That was before he said he was going to get married, and I refuse to be the other woman. Now, I don’t have anything to do with him. I don’t.

My intercom buzzes. I stand up from my sofa and head toward it. I pick up the receiver. "Hello?"

"Let me in, June,” his deep dark voice growls.

Instantly, I’m wet. Ohmigod. He called me by my name, and not my full name but my first name. And he may not have meant the double entendre but tell that to my body and the way it interpreted it. I stare at the receiver, knowing I need to do something. But what? My arms and legs seem unable to move.

"June, open the door," he orders. He lowers his voice to a hush—"Now"—and the command in his tone sends a thrill down my spine. A part of my brain and body recognizes that he’s in charge, and I respond. I depress the button to buzz him in, then place the receiver back in the cradle. I unlock the door, hear his footsteps coming up the stairs and take a step back. Then another.

It’s not that I’m afraid of him… Okay, maybe a little. But mostly because I know I should have called him or emailed him directly to tell him I was resigning. When the backs of my knees hit the settee in the living room, I realize I’ve shifted to the center of the area. The door is pushed open, and he steps in. His broad shoulders fill my line of sight.
