Getting Lucky Moans
Ember“Both,” I replied, bringing my hands to the buttons on his shirt to start undoing them. He let me snap two of them through their holes before suddenly lifting me up and throwing me over his shoulder caveman style. “What are you doing?”“You said both, which means it’s too chilly in here for you to stand here butt naked, and I’m not putting your clothes back on. I’ll light a fire for us later. For now, we’re going somewhere warmer.”He took off across the floor of his living room, which I noticed as I hung upside down was actually an entrance hall, living and dining area opening up to his kitchen. It was bigger than my entire loft.The walls and floors were white, while the furniture was dark wood and darker leather with metal accents. What a boy’s place.I didn’t have much time to think about it though, as he marched me down a hallway. I counted four doors before he carried me through a fifth and finally dropped me on a bed the size of our kitchen at the loft.“Do you have a fam
Getting Lucky Morning After
KADENWhen I woke up, I knew from the sunlight streaming in through the windows I’d slept through my alarm. It was way too bright to be my usual time to rise and shine, which meant I would have to miss my workout this morning.The sun was also bright enough to send little elves with sledgehammers into my eyes with its rays. I groaned, suddenly remembering the jet-fuel shots. That explained the elves hammering my brain and eyeballs. Along with that realization came memories of the fucking gorgeous girl I shared said shots with, which was when I started becoming aware of a warmth against my side and on my arm. Turning my head slowly so as not to wake her, I saw Ember’s dark hair spread out across my skin and contrasting sharply with my white sheets.Warmth that had nothing to do with the sunlight spread through me. It had everything to do with waking up with Ember beside me. When I told her before we fell asleep that I didn’t think her coming to New York was coincidence, I hadn’t been
Getting Lucky Temporary Distraction
EMBER“I feel like I haven’t seen you all week,” Gracie told me on Saturday morning. We were making coffee in our kitchen, both still wearing our pajamas.Gracie had bought some new caramel and toffee-flavored blend we were brewing, filling the air with a sickly sweet smell with the rich scent of coffee beneath it. It smelled very much like heaven to me.As close to what I imagined my heaven would smell like anyway, provided it wasn’t already going to smell like Kaden. If I closed my eyes, I could still smell his expensive cologne mixed with a musky spice that was all him and all man.“Did you just moan?” Gracie asked, confusion marring her delicate features.My eyes widened. “No way. I mean, yeah. Maybe a little. The coffee smells great.”“Uh huh.” She crossed her arms, arching a manicured eyebrow. “I’ve heard your coffee moans, Em. That wasn’t one of them. Spill. What’s going on?”“It’s kind of linked to what you said before about us not seeing much of each other this last week or s
Getting Lucky The B-Word
Ember“A temporary distraction, huh?” It didn’t take a rocket scientist to hear she didn’t believe me. “You can be a career-driven, young, professional woman and have a boyfriend, you know?”“Don’t say the B-word.” I groaned, bringing my cooling mug to my forehead. “He’s not that, or anything but the other B-word, really.”“What’s the other B-word?” she asked.“Boss,” I replied immediately. “Or bastard because even though he’s been nice to me the last few weeks, I’ve seen him be the worst kind of bastard there is.”“Don’t hold what he did as a kid against him,” Gracie reasoned, but I waved her off.“Enough about him,” I said. “Okay, one last thing about him. He took me sightseeing the other night. I thought we could do some of those things together today. You in?”“Always.” She actually looked excited, bouncing on couch. “I think I’m starting to come around to New York after your lesson the other night. I’d like to see more of it. The trip between here and work is becoming tedious alr
Getting Lucky Hooky
KADEN“Do you have any plans for this weekend?” Ember asked me as we headed to work together on Friday morning, a week after the first time we made the trek together.I shrugged, shifting in the seat of the cab we were sharing. My pride and joy was my brand-new Bugatti, but Ember refused to drive to work in it with me. She claimed people seeing us getting out of a cab together could easily be explained away, but getting out of my car was too suspicious.“People share cabs all the time,” she had argued when I led her to the parking garage of my building one morning. “We could live close to one another, or we could be coming back from an early meeting, but getting out of your car says we were together wherever we were coming from.”“That makes no sense,” I’d told her, grabbing her hand and pulling her to my side. “We could have been together at the early morning meeting we shared the cab from, too.”“Yeah, but it just looks suspicious,” she had said, promptly bypassing my car and walkin
Getting Lucky Why is She Here?
Kaden“You’ve done more work in the time you’ve been there than all the other recruits combined,” I countered. “You could take the next month off and still be ahead.”“Not if I want to stay ahead,” she said firmly, green eyes blazing. “I’m sorry, Marx. If you’re looking for a play date today, you’re going to have to go elsewhere.”I mock pouted, winking. “I don’t want to play with anyone else. I only want to play with you.”Sighing, she curled her lips into a soft smile. “That’s good to know, but I still can’t take the day off. You should, though.”I thought about it. Asking her to take the day off with me was done on the fly. I hadn’t actually been planning on taking it, but now that the idea was in my head, it was an attractive one. I wasn’t in the mood to deal with my dad, I had no meetings scheduled, and my team would be fine without me.“I might.” I played around with the idea for a little while longer before making up my mind. The cab stopped in front of our building, and since
Getting Lucky What Did He Want?
EMBERThank god I didn’t take the day off with Kaden. I hadn’t been at the office an hour when Craig told me Mr. Marx wanted to see me. If I hadn’t been at the office when that came through, I probably would’ve been receiving a call about now, telling me to come pack my cardboard box with my stuff and never come back again. Mentally, I breathed a sigh of relief.I had been tempted when Kaden asked me to spend the day with him. We were spending more and more time together after work, but the thought of spending an entire day with him was tantalizing.What was he like when he wasn’t tired from work or half-distracted by it? When we were together, he never made me feel like he was distracted, but I knew he had to be. He had a high-pressure job, and he could say what he wanted, but I knew he got stressed out by it at times.A full day with only the two of us, away from work and everything that came along with that, sounded heavenly. I hoped we would be able to carve out some time to do it
Getting Lucky Both of Us?
EmberKaden hadn’t come up once, nor had the fact that I had the same last name as his best friend. Although I couldn’t even be sure Mr. Marx knew who Ryan was. Kaden and his dad certainly didn’t appear to have the kind of relationship where they shared about their lives over a beer.“What did he talk to you about?” Kaden asked, drawing me back to the present. Everything about him seemed harder and more edged than ever. I battled with whether to throw up my defenses because of his tone or to be sympathetic.Eventually, I realized my defenses could stay put for now. I doubted his sudden attitude change was because of me. His dad seemed to be a sore spot, and it was quite clear he was worried about what he’d said to me. Why he was worried, I didn’t know.“Nothing really,” I said. “Just work. He told me he’s been keeping an eye on what I’ve been doing since the Morrison thing. Apparently, he’s read a few more of my proposals and looked over some credit agreements I drafted.”“Okay.” Kade
