Low Blow
I watched in horror as Noah scrolled through the multiple personal messages that Adam had with other, I could only assume, female beta users.
"Jack? Using your middle name was a bit too easy to have the females in the company flock to you." Noah smirked. "And anyone that knows you, knows you love yoga and the great outdoors. LimberJack was a little too transparent, brother."
It hadn't been to me. But I wasn't like many people in this company, male or female, that were hoping to catch the eye of a Talon brother. If I had been obsessed with him, I'd probably have known his middle name and put two and two together but I didn't. I wasn't that girl. I was lonely girl.
Noah clicked on a chat with Mindy32 who was obviously the Mindy that had was so obsessed with him. I bet she's 32 years old or her birthday is March 2nd. Usually the numbers we choose mean something to us.

Talk Dirty to Me Up and Adam
Adam's POVI had no idea what I did to upset Holly. She knew she was it for me. Didn't she? Why wasn't she answering my phone calls or texts. I wanted to drive over to see her but Dan told me I couldn't do that without admitting fault. So legally I was stuck to stalking her social media.Holly hadn't updated her Instagram or FaceBook. She wasn't answering her phone. I didn't attempt to slide into her private messages on the app."Come in!" There was a knock at my door. I usually don't close my door but I've been dealing with so much since I had to let go of Noah. He's now at a "resort" for anger management. Or at least that what we are telling the press. Jennifer has stepped into Noah's role seemlessly though. The board is looking to appoint a new COO soon but I think she should stay on, not just as the interim person."Hey, Adam." I knew that voice. "Can I talk to you? For a moment?""Yeah, come on in Mindy. Have a sea

Holly's POVI curled up in bed and was about to go back to sleep after buying my ticket home for Kate's wedding. A one-way ticket. And the incessent knocking at my front door was back."I SWEAR TO GOD MINDY! IF THAT'S YOU!" I growled and opened the door."Lucky for me, I'm not Mindy." Adam stood in the doorway with flowers, food, and looking tired and not as put together as he usually does. Big dark bags under his eyes. His shirt wasn't stylish or clean. I just started at him. "Can I come in?""Oh. Yeah. Uh. Sure." I opened my door and put my arm out inviting him inside."It's pretty clean in here.""Had a little help.""I heard. Mindy is a bit of a gossip. She's got a big mouth.""Matches her large breasts. Don't you think?" Why was he here, talking about Mindy, of all things.He caughed and set the food down. "I thought you wouldn't mind Chinese again. Is that alright?"I nodded.
Talk Dirty to Me Epilogue
5 years later... Adam and I were celebrating 5 years of our success as a couple. Although Adam says we've been together over a decade because the day we met is when our souls recognized each other as the others half. He's such a romantic. I was also celebrating 5 years as a badass COO boss woman in a male dominated field. Wired magazine was going to be printing an article about women in technology and asked me to be on the cover! We had a lot to catch up on over these last few years that came and went in the blink of an eye! We were both happy that everyone we invited had come to the party. Even Noah, although he stayed close to his dad all night and wouldn't make eye contact with anyone. Noah had been in therapy and even started an 'alternate lifestyles' club in the area, embracing what he truly took pleasure in. Not everyone was a fan of it, Kate and my mom especially, but I was proud of Noah. I respect that he knows what he wants inside the boardroom and bedroom. That he's wil
Talk Dirty to Me Prologue
"Where do you want to be in 5 years, Holly?"The last panel interview for Talon Tech, run by Adam and Noah Talon, was going well and they gave me a softball question. This was one of those moments where everything seems to come together in life and just fall into place. I'd prepared for this question. The dream job was in my grasp. I smiled and sat up confidently at Mindy and Carter who had been two out of the three panelists I was supposed to interview for today."My goal in 5-years is to be the best..."The heavy door opened loudly interrupting me mid-sentence. I was sitting with my back to it and had the pleasure of two potential colleagues conducting the interview even though I was supposed to meet my potential boss today.
Talk Dirty to Me The Interview
5 years later... Drinking wine with my sister via Zoom wasn't the same as having cocktails at a new bar every other week. If I moved back to NYC, I could be with my sister right now. My older sister, Katheryn or Kate as most people know her, had finally moved back to the North East after a stint in Seattle with husband number two. I was stuck paying taxes in an empty home, working remotely, friendless, and honestly, it was lonely. "Mom insists on family dinners on Sundays like we are The Soprano's. I swear she thinks she's from Italy not Ireland. And no boys allowed. What does she think, I'm 16?" She probably thinks that she doesn't wanting you ending up with another loser. But I didn't dare say

My contract was straightforward. They had incentive bonuses as well as annual ones and with all the company growth, I got stock options.Ricky was the first person I saw on Monday and I made sure he had his morning dose of sugar, via a Hostess cake I brought from home. Between HR and getting my badge saying I could enter the building, I had completely missed the morning meeting.Jennifer came down to bring me to my work station. She took the stairs by two even in heels. It was obvious we were rushing up to the office, but it wasn't even 9 AM yet. I thought mid-west companies would be more relaxed."We just finished the team morning meeting. And we were surprised with a visit from Adam who bought Starbucks for everyone. Can you believe it?! I'm sorry you missed it stuck in the bas
Talk Dirty to Me Boss Bitch
"Yogi, eh? Didn't take you for the yoga type." It was too early in the morning to deal with Adam.I'd already unrolled the yoga mat and started stretching when he unrolled his. I still needed a cup of coffee, barely able to speak words at this hour.Yoga was supposed to be quiet stretching and releasing stress, or at least that was my impression. The class was really hard. And Adam's whispers about how he's an avid yogi (which means person that practices yoga) made the class feel like it was never going to end."Did you see my hand stand? Because I sure didn't see yours." Adam took my mat from me to clean it up and put it away. I rolled my eyes as I mumbed out some sort of 'thank you'.He was really pushing it. I bit the inside
