Chapter Eleven

Maddy

“I need to know what your goals are in this company, Maddy.” Mr. Jameson crossed his arms, his steady gaze pinning Maddy to his chair.

Why they were doing this in Maddy’s office, with the door wide open, was beyond him. His office was a comfort zone, even if it had been getting steadily less so in the last few weeks. No one bitched him out in his comfort zone, and no one threatened him.

“I’ve had a few concerned colleagues approach me with some very interesting things. I have already been on the fence about your…behavior. Someone in your position requires stability to get the job done, and, from what I understand, you aren’t stable.”

His boss’s voice was loud—too loud for a small office with more ears than telephones.

Un-fucking-stable. Phil. Maddy ground his teeth, looking down at his desk before he could say anything he would regret. The papers before his eyes blurred, their secrets locked away as his temple throbbed.

“What the fuck did you just call him?”

A voice that Maddy hadn’t thought he would ever hear again carved through the office and straight to his heart. He looked up, a gasp pushing through his lips. Derreck stood in the open doorway, glaring at Maddy’s boss like he was two seconds away from strangling him.

Their three weeks apart seemed to have treated Derreck about the same as they had Maddy. He was absolutely filthy, as if he’d just rolled around underneath a street sweeper before dousing himself in a river. His face was gaunt, his eyes bloodshot and weary.

None of that mattered. He was the most wonderful thing that Maddy had ever seen. Relief surged through him, so powerful that he would have gone to his knees if he’d been standing.

“Excuse me? Who are you?” Mr. Jameson curled his lip, taking a step back as Derreck moved into the office. Derreck’s shoes squeaked with each step, letting out a rasping sound as he lifted his feet, as if they were gasping for breath.

“I’m the one who digs your fucking grave,” Derreck growled, sending a thrill up Maddy’s spine that he didn’t fully understand.

It wasn’t the only thing that he didn’t understand. His skin was on fire, longing for Derreck’s touch, and his cock was tingling in a way that only seemed to happen around Derreck. He had to touch him—had to go to him. He didn’t care if he got filthy or if it cost him his job.

His boss spluttered, taking another step back until his back hit the glass wall. Derreck’s eyes were wild, his lips curled into a snarl.

“Tell me why you would say that,” said Derreck, only stopping when he was centimeters from Mr. Jameson, his nostrils flaring wide. “Tell me why you would corner one of your best workers—the one who has been fighting to turn this office around from the very beginning—and call him unstable.”

“His leave of absence—”

“You’ll be taking one yourself if you don’t shut the fuck up. And it won’t be voluntary.” Derreck snarled like a deranged beast.
