Betting on Vegas
Adam's POV
"You invited her to the conference in Vegas? That's like dangling the apple of knowledge in Eve's face." I freaked when I realized Noah had used the business trip excuse to get Holly alone.
"And you will be on that trip too, dumbass, so get your head out of the sand and try to get some ass." Noah snickered.
"Dude. Seriously. What the fuck?"
"Calm down. This will be a great way to see who she likes more."
"HOW?!"
"Think about it. It's Vegas. She gets drunk and she spills her dirty little DM secrets. Maybe she'll want to hook-up with one of us. Or maybe she winds up finding out who she's been talking to and actually picks one of us."
I hated to admit Noah's correct but it was actually pretty fantastic. It would give us a clear winner. And this was a contest I was hell bent on winning.
"Fucking-A, bro, you are one sly bastard." I put my hand out to shake his.

I woke up with a feeling akin to a hangover without the over indulgence in alcohol. Even so, I rolled out of bed and went to morning yoga at work.Adam's mat was away from my own, which made the classes so much more effective. I could actually meditate and focus on my breathing. When I did my final exhale, my eyes fluttered open to see Adam starring at me in the large mirror on the gym class wall. He looked at me intensely and when our eyes met in mirror he snapped out of it and looked at the gorgeous woman beside him. I knew she was in account management but I had no idea what her name was. I wonder if they ae dating.Why did I just feel upset when I thought that?"Remember everyone we are the watcher of our thoughts. They do not define us. Have a wonderful day!" The instructor whisper-yelled as we all got up and put away our mats.I swore she worked with witchcraft or something because it was like she had just read my mind and saw the tho

I was locking up my office when I saw Noah and his personal assistant, Jennifer, walking out as well. It took me a minute to register they were both looking at me at the end of the hallway. Quickly I closed my mouth and blinked.Noah's smirk told me I had been caught checking out my boss. I looked down at the floor while I walked towards them. He put his hand on Jennifer's shoulder and a surge of jealousy went through me. But as I caught up with them he was sending her off."You know, Jennifer, we can continue this tomorrow." He patted her shoulder."Yes, it can definitely wait. I need to run out of here anyways." She smiled at me and winked.We stood there until Jennifer was out of earshot, and when I finally did look up, his eyes were checking me out."Now we are even.""I'm sorry, what?" I couldn't read his face. If I were a model I'd think he was looking at me like I was his next meal. I laughed nervously."I did

The office morning yoga class was full and I was late because of my silly paranoia. I hit the snooze button for the first time in years.I went to close the door when I heard someone saying 'pst' to me."Hey, over here. Psssst, hey, Holly." Adam was whisper yelling and pointing at the empty mat next to him. "Psssst!"I rolled my eyes at him and put my water bottle down beside the mat. "Shush!" Somesone beat me to telling him."You shush!" Adam contniued to whisper yell as people were now starting to glare at him with distain.He was still getting looks that could kill while everyone dispersed. "What's their problem?""You, dumbass." I bumped his shoulder and found myself locking in on those gorgeous dimples. He was smiling back at me."Well..." He trailed off.We had a moment. Maybe it was the lack of sleep or the small act of kindness on Adam's part this morning but I felt drawn to him. His aura w

Noah showed up asking me for lunch but I politely declined lying to him about having the next stage of user experience, aka UX, testing.Honestly, I had the programmers start writing code and switching up the algorithm as I've gone along. It's simple A/B testing and I didn't want to get too into the weeds of the whole thing with him. Especially while I'm daydreaming about his brother.After my fourth cup of coffee, Jennifer said I needed to give the Keriug and my body a break for the rest of the day. She's always been super nice to me and even brought in candy at 3PM when my brain felt like mush. The sugar high was definitely needed to push me to 5PM but there was no way I was staying here any later."Holly?" I heard Jennifer say as she knocked on the door."Come on in, Jennifer. I have to thank you for your help today." I mused while she sat with her sweet smile."Aww, how kind of you to say that. Thank you. It was nothing really."
Talk Dirty to Me Pizza Party
I beat Adam to yoga class today. I had gotten my favorite spot in the back corner and might have made some extra room for someone who had done the same for me yesterday.Luckily today's class wasn't as jam packed so he could pick any number of spots."This for me?" I pretended to be fiddling on my phone when Adam walked up to the extra mat beside me."No, it's for my invisible friend, Jerry. He's really into yoga." I tried to be sarcastic but it came out as more of a joke."So Jerry and I are shaing mats now. Cool, cool." He sat down and started stretching. Adam didn't move the mat to make more room between us, even though he could have. And seeing as we kept touching and hitting one another in certain poses, he honestly should have moved.Class ended and Adam was kind enough to clean off our mats and bolsters so I could beat the rest of the women to the good showers. He said it was the least he could do for making Jerry put up with his

Talk Dirty to Me Safe Words
Thanks to Adam, the development team was able to put the block feature into the app by the end of the day.Jennifer texted that Adam was like a hawk on Noah today, not allowing him to go off on his own and checking all of his correspondance. Usually it was the other way around.Adam took it upon himself to send out a company wide memo about sexual harrassment. It was almost laughable isn't wasn't actually kind of sweet. The Adam I met 5 years ago would have gagged at the thought of writing this memo and now he was doing it on his own.When I brought my take-out into my house that night, it was the first time I didn't feel scared. Who knew Adam would make me feel safe? Noah is just so intense. Part of me was still turned on by it but it I couldn't deny how he intimidated me.Thanks to Adam's hard work (wow, that's something I never thought I'd think or say), I felt okay to log into the app and monitor some group chat conversation

It was finally Friday and although Kate wasn't coming to visit, the weekend was here. I'd successfully avoided Noah and blocked PrinceCharming.Jennifer had taken the day off. Noah had taken out his anger on her all day, every day this week. On top of that, she went the extra mile to make sure I didn't have a run in with him. She was quickly becoming my favorite person. Adam was on top of Noah like white on rice but he had to take bathroom breaks, which is when Noah made his move. I was looking down at my phone that had just buzzed with a text from Adam: 'BRB. Avoid my brother' "Who are you chatting with?" My head snapped up, knowing that voice. It was a bit raspier then normal."Hi Noah, I didn't hear you come in." I was living in fear of him and PrinceCharming all week, but unlike my online companion, Noah hadn't actually said anything to me that would warrant me avoiding him. Or feeling the shiver down my spine. "
