Getting Lucky What I Did
KadenI told him enough in the text to make him clear his schedule. When I arrived, he was finishing up with work. Striding toward me in the lobby, I was struck again by how much he and Ember looked alike.They were both dark haired, so dark their hair was almost black. Eyes the color of emeralds framed by thick, black lashes looked out over the world with burning intensity and easy humor, all at the same time.It was only their body types that were different. Ryan was as tall as I was at six-two and almost as muscular. Ember was five-foot-something and fit with her shoulders perfectly under my arms, her face in the crook of my neck when she was in my arms. She was soft and curvy, with none of Ryan’s muscled planes and sharp edges.A deep line cut between Ryan’s eyebrows as he walked up to me. “What’s going on? I just saw you a couple of hours ago.”“Yeah, I know, but between then and now, a couple of things have happened. I quit my job. I’m not going back to Marx Inc.” Anger laced in
Getting Lucky The Corporate Ladder
EMBER My heart raced, my palms were clammy, and my ears were ringing. What in the holy hell was happening?I heard Kaden speaking to his dad, but it didn’t sound like he was standing right next to me. It sounded like his voice was coming from underwater. My eyes darted around.Nope. No water had somehow sloshed into the office. There were no candid cameras anywhere. No talk show host jumping out from behind Mr. Marx’s hulking frame to yell, “Gotcha!”Blinking hard, I tried to make sense of it all. Before I could even start, Kaden glared daggers at his dad and clenched his fists. “You know what? Fuck you. I’m not taking this shit from you. Fuck you, and fuck this company. I’m out.”Without waiting for a response from either me or his dad, he turned and stormed out of the office. I sat in my chair, watching all this unfold around me in utter disbelief.“Well,” Mr. Marx said finally, breaking the silence that reigned in his office. “I thought he would handle that better, but I should ha
Getting Lucky I Won't Let You Down
EmberBut let’s face it, it is insane. I squashed the thought quickly, even as I wanted to bob my head in agreement with it. Sliding my eyes to the clear blue sky beyond Mr. Marx’s expansive windows, I took a second to compose myself.“Who will train me?” I asked, blinking at a passing puffy cloud before turning my eyes back toward his. “Like I said, I’m willing to learn, but I’ll need to learn from someone.”I doubted Craig, the recruit trainer who I had been working under since I started, was going to be training me for this position. Traditionally, I supposed the handover would have been done by the person retiring or departing from the company, but in this case…“Kaden,” Mr. Marx said simply, as if said Kaden hadn’t just stormed out of his office after cursing him.I cocked my head, not sure if I understood what he meant. “Kaden, sir? I doubt he’s going to be willing to come back here.”“Your first duty as CFO will be getting him back here to train you,” he told me, his icy gaze c
Getting Lucky A Free Man
KADENHangovers sucked. If someone could invent a genuine cure for the things, I would invest every penny I had into that business. It would be totally worth it, especially if that someone could have just appeared in my bedroom this morning with a vial of the miracle cure. Rolling over in my bed, I groaned as a stab of pain shot through my head. Shit. It felt like someone had stuck a knife into my temple and twisted.There was a thudding sound coming from somewhere, though I couldn’t tell if it was inside my head or an actual sound. My mouth tasted like a large animal had emptied its bowels into it, and without moving much, I could tell my body was shaky.The thudding sound grew louder. More insistent. Slowly, I realized it was someone knocking on my door. I risked cracking my eyes open, only to flinch at the brightness of my room.My blackout curtains were open, allowing the sun to shine mercilessly into my bedroom. The evil rays were creeping up my bed already, telling me it was we
Getting Lucky One For You
KadenSauntering over, I gripped the glass and chugged the juice in one go before answering her. “Because working for you is out of the question. It’s nothing personal against you. It’s the principle of the thing.”She planted her hand on her left hip, tilting her head and frowning before heaping bacon onto a plate and cracking two eggs into a pan. “You don’t have to work for me, then. You can come back and just show me how to do the job.”I hungrily eyed the eggs and added a couple of pieces of toast to the bacon-filled plate, buttering them as I watched the egg whites starting to bubble. “No offense, but why would I do that?”“To help me out,” she said. She gave the eggs a few prods with a spatula before dishing them up. “I’ve thought about it, and there’s no way I can do this without you showing me the ropes. I spoke to some people late yesterday afternoon, and the company will keep paying you while you complete the handover properly.”She handed me my plate and stared, waiting for
Getting Lucky Commanding Me
EMBER“Fuck, Ember.” Kaden released a staggered breath, his voice harsh and needy. “Stop.”The way his hips were rocking told me it was the last thing he wanted. I could already feel him getting even harder, thicker in my mouth. He was close, and yet he was telling me to stop.I ignored him, too desperate to taste his release as my own need rolled and knotted deep inside me. Between my thighs, I was slick and pulsing for him.His grip tightened in my hair, and he let out another animalistic, primal growl that made my insides clench before yanking my head off him. “Get on top of me, now.”The low command made my clit throb harder than his head must have been when I arrived. The skin on my scalp stung from the rough way he tugged me off him, but I didn’t mind. It wasn’t painful exactly, just enough to let me know how desperate and impatient he was feeling.A tingle ran down my spine. I loved knowing I could affect him this way, turn his cocky, controlled swagger into a trembling, growli
Getting Lucky Close to the Edge
EmberAs soon as I was bared to him, he released a heavy breath, his eyes burning as he sat back on the couch. He looked like a sculpted god sitting there, his long, thick cock curving almost elegantly toward his naval and not quite covering the smattering of hair between the two body parts.His blond hair was mussed from sleep and from my hands running through it, and his blue eyes were alight with need and desire. “I like seeing the way you’ve been touching yourself today. Touch yourself for me. I want you to make yourself moan.”“I thought we weren’t listening to each other today.” I tried sounding nonchalant, but I couldn’t quite get there. My heart rate spiked, and my breathing became labored. I liked the idea of watching him as I put on a show for him.“I listened when you told me not to put my hands on you right now, didn’t I?” His eyes raked over my body, filled with so much need that the urge to banter with him disappeared completely.His tone was so low and so commanding tha
Getting Lucky For Her
KADENMy fingers tightened around the black leather steering wheel I was holding. When I agreed to come in today while Ember was naked beside me, Monday seemed so far off. All I wanted was to give her everything she wanted in that moment.It didn’t seem like a big deal to me then. I wouldn’t be going back to Marx Inc. for my dad or even for myself, but for her. Because she needed me to help. I was finding that whenever Ember needed me, I wanted to be there. Whatever she needed me for, I wanted to do.That was especially true when it came to her needs in the bedroom, the kitchen, the office, or the living room, but despite what I told myself, I knew my need to satisfy her didn’t end with sex. So, I’d done something I wouldn’t have imagined myself doing in a million years. I agreed to come back to Marx Inc. to train her to take over my job.Sitting in the rapidly filling parking lot in a spot that used to be mine but already didn’t have my name on the wall anymore, I was starting to que
