Ruined By My Bosses Choices
Shane I watched Rune walk away for a long few seconds, the curve of her backside too irresistible to stop my eyes from tracking downward as she sauntered off, and I noticed Micah doing exactly the same thing when I’d finally managed to tear my gaze away. Right then and there I knew that there was no way in hell either one of us would ever be able to remain ‘professional’ as she’d demanded in a hurry before she’d fled the room, her arousal irrefutable despite her assertion. The taste of her vanilla ChapStick was still fresh on my lips, and all I could think about was when I would get another chance to repeat what had just happened in this tiny office. Gah! Rolling my shoulders back, I followed the mesmerizing female out of the room, enamored by the way she interacted with her daughter, even if I knew there was a lot more to that story than I was privy to. The little girl’s skin tone was much darker than Rune’s, but not quite as dark as mine, telling me they weren’t related biologic
Ruined By My Bosses Decision Made
Shane I held my breath, unsure of how Micah would react to my crazy idea, but it was the only option I could see working in the long run. Animosity would brew between the both of us if we competed for Rune’s attention separately, and I had a feeling she wouldn’t be easy to win over. While I couldn’t think of anyone else that I would rather do something like this with, I could also understand if my friend didn’t want to attempt something so out of the ordinary. I didn’t know how it would work out for us, but I couldn’t shake how natural everything had felt between us all earlier today. Micah didn’t respond at first, but I could see the thoughts roiling through his mind as he took a seat at one of the stools on the other side of the island. I continued going through the motions of making lunch, browning the strips of chicken on the stove before I added the bell peppers and mushrooms that I’d found in the fridge. My stomach rumbled with the piquant fragrance filling the air, the siz
Ruined By My Bosses Getting Back in the Groove
Rune I hadn’t been able to skitter away from the community center fast enough, the emotions churning inside almost too much for me to handle, but, of course, I didn’t have a choice in the matter. It felt amazing to have access to my own mode of transport once more, and I said a silent thank you to Sam and the guys for their aid in getting my car back into my possession, simultaneously cursing Kiki for her constant undependability. Having kids, especially one that required a booster seat to travel safely, made it more difficult to accomplish certain tasks, but I would never regret taking on the challenge, Roman and Isla being my greatest sources of joy during this tumultuous time in my life. My cheeks remained bright red the whole way back to our house, the memory of Micah and Shanes’ lips replaying in my head on a reel, but I knew nothing could come of my mounting attraction for the time being. Roman and Isla had to remain my sole focus, and I knew returning to Griffin Fashion wo
Ruined By My Bosses Whiplash
Rune Micah’s chocolate-brown orbs flashed as I met his eyes, and I melted at the fervor burning bright for two point five seconds as Elisabeth exited in a huff, Amy’s annoying voice drowned out by the power of the moment. Then, he’d opened his mouth, reminding me why I was pissed at him most of the time as he said, “Follow me, Ms. Hendrix,” snapping his mouth shut before he spun on his heel, totally disregarding Amy in the process. The sound of my last name on his lips sent a sharp pain through me as he appeared to be adhering to my request for everything to remain professional inside the office. I didn’t have any plans to continue a relationship with Shane or Micah, but something about Micah’s overt formality left me disappointed. Amy’s hurt feelings were the last thing on my mind as I shadowed the new CEO out of the room, her blatant indifference when Elisabeth had been accosting me at the forefront of my brain as I left. Micah didn’t slow, and I was having trouble keeping up w
Ruined By My Bosses Harsh Truths
Shane Rune didn’t raise her voice or hurl unfair accusations at me, and I was grateful her reaction to my idea had gone better than I’d expected. Just the same, the flat tone as she’d delivered her inquiries had wormed its way deep, and I couldn’t wholly refute her snap judgment. She didn’t know much about my past, so it was easy for her to see the nice clothes, fast car, and luxury apartment I had in the wrong light, and I couldn’t blame her for the upset she’d tried to smother at my proposal. I’d seen how passionate she was about the center, and it was part of the reason I’d made up my mind. Yet, an even larger piece of me desired to do some good for kids who might be going through tough situations at home, well aware of how dire a need that could be for some. So, no, I didn’t know how this particular rec center served the community, but I was familiar with the positives it could create within our youth from my experience on the other side of the fence. Moreover, her reaction o
Ruined By My Bosses Shattering Misconceptions
Micah It only took a few minutes to put away the leftovers and load the dishwasher, but that regrettably left me with plenty of time to fret, to overthink and analyze how I could help change Rune’s opinion of me. Although it might seem a bit odd for me to be doing the dishes when I had more than enough money to last me a lifetime, my parents had instilled the value of hard work in both Shane and I’s brains. They had somehow managed to juggle it all without the extra help when I was growing up, and I was more comfortable without somebody invading my personal space. Not to mention, Shane cooked better than anyone I knew, so it made sense for us to do everything ourselves. There was something to be said about my friend’s ingenuity when crafting a meal, but, musing to myself, I think that I relished the sometimes-exotic dishes he tested out the most. When I couldn’t find anything else to keep me occupied, I gave up on finding a distraction, pouring myself a stiff drink instead before
Ruined By My Bosses Brick Wall
Micah Sara called the second Rune had pushed through the double glass doors into the main office, and I was on my feet in an instant, determined to meet her before she made it to her own office. I’d asked the receptionist to have Rune come see me before she did anything else, but there was no guarantee that the stubborn woman would listen, disregarding her assertion to the contrary on the voicemail. Be that as it may, I was stunned when I’d strolled through the doorway, almost running into the woman in question in the process of pulling the door shut behind me as she hurried in my direction. Part of me had expected her to try to dodge me all day as she had on Wednesday, but I was pleasantly surprised to be wrong in this matter, though I supposed passing by my office was the fastest way to get to her own if I really thought about it. Still, Rune’s hands were clearly full, and I was shocked she hadn’t spilled a drop from the cup she was precariously balancing with her right arm pres
Ruined By My Bosses Jealousy Strikes
Rune I cringed as Micah did a terrible job of hiding his emotions, the green monster on his back as plain as day as he spat out, “Avery? As in the Avery that’s a designer and editor here?” “We’re one and the same, boss man.” Avery replied, grinning rakishly as he shot me a wink. Avery and I weren’t best friends by any means, but he’d been my ally when Amy and Elisabeth were crammed in here with us, leaving a shared bond behind that kept us close. We both had hectic schedules that required flexibility, albeit for different reasons, so it wasn’t often that we ended up working in the office together. I still couldn’t believe Micah had found a way to make this happen, but I was also prepared for the uptight man I’d experienced since being reintroduced to him in a new role after sneaking out of his bed that first night. Avery tended to take things too far at times, and I didn’t miss Micah’s furrowed brow and clenched jaw in response to my friend’s disrespect. In any case, I knew Aver
