Filthy Boss: A Forbidden Office Romance (Wynton Book 1)

by Bianca Cole

  I can’t quite believe I just did that. I didn’t even use a condom, and I don’t even know this guy. What the hell was I thinking? At least I’m on the pill still.

  Bryson’s lips part from mine, and he smiles at me. He drags my bra back up into place and then buttons my blouse, hiding my breasts from him and the world. He kisses me again, long and slow, making me moan into his mouth. I’ve just had two orgasms, and I want more from him.

  “Come on, let’s get you home.” He grabs my hand and pulls me back toward the path.

  We walk in silence, but it’s not as awkward as I expect it to be. It’s oddly comfortable. As if we didn’t just fuck in public five minutes ago.

  No man has ever made me feel the way he did. He is sexy as hell, and I want him again. Finally, we reach my apartment. “This is me.” I nod at the front door and break the silence. “Thank you for walking me back and...” I feel the heat rushing through my body, heating my cheeks.

  I still can’t quite wrap my head around what we did.

  His smile is so irresistible. “You’re welcome, Tessa.” He closes the gap between us, and his lips are on mine in a heartbeat.

  I melt into his strong arms as they lock around me. A deep ache ignites with a desperate need to feel him inside of me again. His stubble grazes my soft skin, sending thrills through me. I want to fuck him again, so bad.

  I deepen the kiss, allowing our tongues to tangle in a breathless and desperate kiss. His thick, hard cock presses into me, already ready. I can’t invite him in, though. How the hell would I explain this to Elena?

  I pull back, breathless, and far too aroused. I gaze up into the beautiful blue eyes of this man I’ve only just met and already fucked. “Well, thanks again,” I say.

  He captures my hand in his. “Wait, what’s your number?”

  I search his eyes for a moment, considering not answering, even though we just had sex. “Give me your phone.”

  He passes it into my hand, and I type my number in, before passing it back to him. “There.”

  He smiles and kisses me again. “I’ll text you later, baby.”

  I nod. “Good night, Bryson.” I bolt up the stairs to my apartment and shut the door. It’s as if I snap back to reality, and the true weight of what I just did hits me. I lean my back against the door and let out a long breath.

  Holy shit, I just fucked a total stranger in a park, and I loved it.

  7

  Bryson

  I’m doing my best to focus on the work in front of me, but my cock is as hard as a rock. Ever since last night, I’m like a horny teenager who can’t control his urges.

  Tessa is all I can think of. I texted her a few times last night, but she never replied. Then I tried ringing her this morning, and it went to voicemail. Maybe she regrets what we did. Usually, I don’t want to see the women I fuck again, but Tessa is different.

  The sex was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced—passionate and all-consuming. Tessa is all I want. She is all I can think about.

  The first day as CEO and I can’t concentrate at all. It is like this woman has derailed me entirely and thrown my life off track. If she doesn’t answer my calls or texts, I’m going to that damn bar until she turns up. Her best friend works there. She admitted she goes there a lot, so that’s where I’ll be heading tonight.

  My cock is throbbing in my pants even though I relieved myself half an hour ago in my private bathroom adjoining the office. It looks like I’ll be wanking all day at this rate.

  Tessa’s face keeps flashing into my mind. She’s not like the women that usually catch my attention. More often, they are blonde and caked in make-up. Tessa is a natural beauty with dark brown hair and bright emerald eyes. Her clothes were also far more conservative than women I’m generally with, but I get a feeling Tessa can make anything look sexy as hell.

  My mind can’t stop replaying our session in the park. The way she let me take her against the tree, it was so damn sexy. All I want to do is see her again, touch her again, fuck her again. Damn it. Tessa is mine.

  I didn’t believe anything could get my mind off the news my father broke to me last night. Then she walked into that bar.

  I’d drunk more than I should have last night, so now I’m nursing a headache. Not to mention, after fucking that beauty, I couldn’t sleep. I’d taken aspirin and drank about three cups of coffee this morning. It was all I could do to stay focused through the meeting with Mr. Gates earlier.

  It is the first of many meetings I’ll be expected to attend as acting CEO. The weight on my shoulders, increasing as the reality of the responsibility hits me.

  Perhaps I should step aside and allow my brother to take over. Is being CEO worth it? It’s all I’ve wanted for as long as I can remember—a chance to prove my worth. But, now, in this position of power, I feel the confidence in my abilities slipping. Am I up for this challenge?

  I have to be for the sake of my relationship with my father.

  I spent so much of my life doing things that brought shame to the family, especially as the media like to seize hold of any dirt they can get on us. The last opportunity to change my dad’s opinion of me. I can’t screw this up. I just can’t. It’s my only chance to make things right, to make my father proud of me before he’s gone.

  I stand and look out over the expansive city as I let out a long breath. Somewhere, Tessa is out there. I barely know her, but I crave her like a drug. Somehow, she has sunk her claws into me with her stunning smile and emerald green eyes—those eyes that I can’t get out of my head. I scan the jutting buildings that glitter in the late morning sun.

  They appear different to me now than they had the night before. I can’t understand why. Perhaps, because I learned my father is dying or because I met a woman who made me want to be different. Whatever it is, it’s a strange sensation. For once, I feel less selfish and more vulnerable than ever before.

  “Mr. Stafford?” A woman says from the doorway.

  I turn on the balls of my feet. “Yes.”

  The woman is beautiful. The type of woman I’d normally be drawn to outside the office, but as I drag my eyes up and down her tall, slender frame in a white pinstriped blouse and short skirt, I feel nothing—no attraction, no desire to fuck her.

  What the hell has Tessa done to me? I never mingle business with pleasure anyway, as it would be unprofessional.

  Her bright blonde hair is perfectly styled, framing her creamy complexion and heart-shaped face, but still, there’s no excitement stirring.

  She clears her throat. “I’m Charlotte. Your new secretary, sir.”

  I nod my head. “It’s nice to meet you, Charlotte.” She lingers by the door, and I narrow my eyes. “Is there anything else I can help with?”

  “There is someone here who would like to speak with you,” she says.

  My brow furrows. “Does this person have an appointment?” I straighten my tie and jacket in anticipation.

  “It’s an accounting analyst from the first floor. She says there is an urgent matter that needs to discussing”

  “I see.” I pinch my chin between my finger and thumb, wondering what the normal process is with employees demanding to talk to me. Surely, they should have an appointment?

  “Should I send her in?” Charlotte motions to the outer office behind her.

  “Yes, please,” I say, watching as she opens the door a little wider. “Oh, and Charlotte…”

  “Yes, Mr. Stafford.”

  I wince. “Please call me Bryson. I’m not my father.” I perch on the edge of my desk, waiting.

  “Of course, sir.” She smiles before returning to get the woman from accounting.

  The door opens, and my heart stops beating.

  Tessa.

  My mouth goes dry, my heart rate spikes, and my cock thickens and swells in my pants as the memories of fucking her last night hit me.

  Tessa stares at me with her mouth ajar, looking as shocked as I feel.

  Charlotte seems to notice
the tension. “Is that all, sir?”

  I tear my eyes from Tessa. “Yes, thank you.”

  She smiles before scurrying out of my office.

  A silence settles between us as we stare at each other. My eyes rake over her curvy body, which I well and truly felt last night while I fucked her against that tree.

  She’s wearing a similar outfit—a tight white blouse and a medium-length skirt. Her dark brown hair, which had been free and flowing last night, is tied in a bun, revealing her slender neck. A neck I long to kiss again.

  Those luscious, pink lips part as she closes her mouth. Her cheeks have turned red, and it makes me want to take her again even more.

  Fuck.

  My first night in charge, and I violated one of the number one rules as a CEO. I may have been unaware, but I know how bad this situation is. Perhaps she recognized me and thought she could exploit my position to get higher in the company. The thought hurts me more than it should.

  Is that why she is here?

  “I-I…” She shakes her head.

  “What the fuck?” I ask, unable to think straight.

  “Your… But…” She can’t seem to get the words out.

  I step toward her. “Didn’t you recognize me last night, considering you work for my company?” I ask.

  It seems a coincidence. If Tessa is about to insist on a pay rise, she can stuff it where the sun doesn’t shine. I won’t let her blackmail me.

  She shrugs. “I’m a low-level accounting analyst. I’ve never had cause to meet you or see you around the office. I’m as shocked as you, sir.” She can’t meet my gaze.

  I swallow hard. “Here, please take a seat,” I say.

  She steps forward and sinks into one of the plush leather chairs in front of my desk.

  I’m trying to process what is going on right now. A few moments ago, I couldn’t stop thinking about this woman. Now, here she is, sitting in my office, looking as stunning as ever. All I can think about is sinking every thick inch of my cock deep inside her tight pussy right here, bent over my desk.

  I clear my throat. “After last night, we’re more acquainted than I ever am with my employees, Tessa.” I can’t keep the huskiness from my voice.

  She flinches at my tone. “I can’t believe I didn’t put two and two together. Bryson, I knew the name, but…” She shakes her head. “I never thought you would be in a place like that…”

  I shrug and eye her. “No reason for it to affect our professionalism.”

  She bites her full bottom lip. “I guess not.”

  “Why are you here, Tessa?” I ask.

  “Well, sir.”

  Sir.

  Everyone here calls me sir, literally, everyone. So, why does my cock jump in my pants at hearing it from her lips? She pulls out a folder from under her arm and opens it. “I received an email to my work hub last night for the third floor and–”

  “Oh, I’m sure it happens all the time. You don’t have to do other people’s work. I’ll alert them to their mistake.”

  Tessa shakes her head. Her cheeks are reddening, and her eyes fill with irritation. “I wish it were that simple, Mr. Stafford.”

  I cringe at her calling me by my father’s name. “What else seems to be the issue, Tessa?”

  “As I was going over the figures last night, I found a problem with the contract with The Go-To Construction company account. They’ve set up a health and wellness account for the contractors and their security, but the employees have made no withdrawals for the use of their health and wellness. All withdrawals have reverted to the company to the amount of a quarter of a million dollars,” she explains, moving to my side of the desk to give me a better view. The way her hips sway as she walks makes me want to grab them and park her ass on my lap.

  This is bad.

  The problem with her getting this close is she’s going to give me a better view of her tight body and the cleavage peaking over her unbuttoned blouse. All I can think of is how good her breasts looked spilling over the top of her bra as I fucked her hard against that tree.

  I can’t focus on anything with her here. Not to mention, she’s about to see what she is doing to me.

  I slide my chair forward before she makes it over to me to hide my bulge in my pants. I look down for a moment at the spreadsheet and pretend to check over the figures.

  As if I’m paying any attention to them. Any blood in my body has shot right to my throbbing cock. I’m not in a position to see straight, let alone think straight. The sweet jasmine scent of her floods my nostrils and fuels my lust.

  “So, what do you think, sir?”

  That word again. On her lips, it sounds so filthy. Most likely because all I can think about is fucking her again, right here in my office, bending her over the desk, while she screams it.

  Damn.

  I’ll tell you what I think, Tessa. I think you should sit on my lap while I spank you for being so naughty.

  “Do you think you can do something about this? What would be our best course of action?” she presses.

  I rub my forehead and then the stubble on my chin. My eyes leave the file and find hers. My breath catches in my throat as I allow myself to get lost in the unique emerald color of her irises. Her lips part only a few inches from my own.

  I want to kiss her. I want to make her mine again. Silence charged with pure sexual tension floods the air, as we stare into each other’s eyes for far longer than we should.

  She stands straight, removing the tension that had settled between us. I clear my throat and loosen my tie, as it’s way too hot in here. “You said you were from the first floor, right?”

  “Yes, I’m a first-floor accounting analyst.” She stands a little straighter and adjusts her blazer.

  “And, you have a department supervisor, is that correct?”

  Her brow furrows. “Yes, I do.”

  “Did you tell them of your findings?”

  “I informed Mrs. Davis last night when I discovered this,” she says.

  “What did she say about it?” I sit back, sinking into the curves of my office chair, trying to seem in control of the situation.

  I’m not.

  Under my cocky facade, I’m freaking out. It’s my first day as CEO, and this beautiful woman, who I fucked last night, has brought me something I have no idea how to deal with.

  Tessa stands taller and straighter than I believed possible and releases a ragged breath. “She informed me that this was above my pay grade and that if I were to tell anyone else about it that it could cause undue panic, and I would be fired.”

  “And, you decided to ignore her advice and take it straight to me?”

  She nods. “Yeah, I thought it was important for you to be aware of.”

  “Thank you for bringing it to my attention, but I wouldn’t worry your pretty little head about it. It’s a screw up on the third floor, and I’m sure the proper people will take care of it.”

  Her eyes flash at the word pretty, and her body trembles. “Sorry?”

  I clench my jaw. The last thing I want to do is annoy the woman I can’t stop thinking about, the woman I crave. By the look on her face, I already have.

  “What I mean is, you’ll see that there is nothing to worry about. It will all clear itself up.”

  She shakes her head. “This isn’t a small mistake. It is illegal, sir. There’s no mistake. Someone here is stealing money, and I will not stand by and do nothing.” Tessa reaches for the folder on top of my desk.

  Without thinking, I grip her wrist hard, and her eyes widen as she stares at me.

  “Sir, please let go of my wrist.”

  I narrow my eyes. “Tessa, what are you saying? Do you intend to take this information to the authorities?”

  She shrugs. “I don’t know. All I know is I can’t work for a company that doesn’t value honesty above all.” She yanks her arm free and turns to leave.

  My eyes land on the way her ass sways as she walks away. My cock leaks precum into my bo
xers.

  She pauses, turning back to face me with flushed red cheeks. Damn, she looks so fucking good. “I thought you would be different. I brought this to the top, to you, because you should care about what’s going on in your own company. It affects your bottom line, but I guess I was wrong. You’re just like the rest of them, too lazy to deal with all the paperwork that this will incur.” She shakes her head. “And, after last night…” She glances up at me, something in her eyes that I can’t identify.

  I want to stand up and tell her I’ll look into it. I want to pull her into me and kiss her hard, but I know how unprofessional that would be. “I’m quitting, sir. Please take this as my official resignation. I can’t work for a company that doesn’t take matters like this seriously. This company isn’t being run correctly.”

  That hits me in a way that makes all of my resolve snap. Rage floods my veins, heating me. “This company would run better if certain individuals would learn their place and focus on their work instead of venturing into matters above their pay grade.”

  Her fists clench, and I know I’ve said the wrong thing.

  Shit.

  She makes me so crazy. I need to have her. “As I said, sir, please take this as my formal resignation. I shall collect my things and leave right away.”

  She was being serious about quitting. I thought it might have been a threat or taunt. My mind is a mess. I watch her turn and sway out of my office and out of my life.

  My first day as CEO, and I know I can’t make a scene, no matter how much I want her. At least, I know who she is now. She walks out of the room and slams the door with a forceful thud. Her feistiness only adds to the fiery need for her burning inside of me.

  Charlotte rushes in, the clacking of her high-heels fills the air. “Is everything okay, sir?”

  I take a long sip of water and then clear my throat, trying to process what just happened.

  “Sir? Bryson?” she asks.

  I force a smile. “Of course, everything is fine.” Tessa, the woman who I fucked last night, has derailed me again this afternoon. She’s fearless. The way she spoke to me, no one has ever spoken to me like that before.
