Chapter 19

Another week flew by, and March eighteenth barreled down on Belle. Spring break was next week, but for someone who took online classes and worked mostly on large-scale projects, that didn’t mean much. She wanted to take time away from the office but hated to ask Greyson. He needed her, even if he wouldn’t admit it, and she knew the second she stepped away, he’d fall apart.

By Friday evening, she could barely see straight. Greyson was a sound sleeper and never heard her get up in the middle of the night to get some much-needed work done.

Saturday morning, she rolled over in bed, but it was empty. Her brow furrowed, she propped up on her elbows and glanced around until her eyes landed on the clock. Her eyes narrowed, trying to read the time and knowing it had to be wrong, but when she rubbed her eyes and looked again, she cursed and leapt out of bed. She grabbed her robe to cover her naked body before she went to the bathroom, threw her hair in a ponytail, and darted out to the kitchen.

“Why didn’t you wake me up?” she stormed at Greyson sitting at the kitchen table and holding a newspaper in one hand and a coffee mug in the other.

His warm laughter flowed over her as she made a cup of coffee and turned her annoyed glare on him. “You clearly needed the sleep.”

“It’s two in the afternoon! I have work to get done,” she stammered as the list of everything she planned to get done this weekend rushed through her mind. Not only did she have four mid-terms to miraculously finish, but there was a stack of paperwork she’d brought home from the office to finish before Monday for Greyson. Sleeping with the boss might have its perks, but slacking on the job was not one of them.

Greyson sighed as he stood and gripped her shoulders when he reached her. “You need to slow down before you hurt something,” he said in the commanding tone that she loved and hated.

“I have a lot to do,” she reminded him, but he didn’t let go.

“You really think I don’t notice you getting up at all hours?”

Her face flushed with guilt, and she shrugged. “I’m staying on top of everything.”

“Yeah, and now you’re going to take a break,” he ordered. “You’re not going into the office next week. Take the time to finish your mid-terms so I can have the stress-free Belle back.”

“I can’t,” she argued, but he placed his large hand over her mouth.

“As your boss, I’m telling you to not come in, and as your boyfriend, I’m saying you better listen or you won’t like the stubbornness I throw at you,” he warned.

Her tongue darted out and licked his palm, but he didn’t back down. The worry in his eyes touched her, and she sagged, nodding once, and he removed his hand. “You sure you can handle everything for a week?”

“I managed before I had an assistant,” he reminded her.
