“I don’t think it’s a good idea to tell…” I tried to speak but Logan gave me a look that said stop.
“What could little Ms. Perfect have to tell us? Huh?” Luke taunted, and for some reason, it made me angry. It made me furious that after six months he was still pissed that Logan and I were together. Now I had a baby growing inside of me, and I refused to let that type of anger surround us.
“I’m pregnant.” The words tumbled from my mouth without a thought of what may happen after they were said.
“What?” Both Logan and Luke said at the same time, their face’s mirrors of one another’s. Shock forming on Luke’s seconds later, where Logan’s was pure excitement and love.
“I’m pregnant. A baby is growing inside of me, our baby.” I cupped the side of his cheek, staring deeply into his eyes.
“Oh fuck. I’m going to be a dad.” Excitement laced his words. “I…” Then worry seemed to take root. “Shit. I don’t know if I can handle this.” His eyes grew wide and I had to bring him back down to Earth and remind him that we could do this, we could do anything that we put our minds too.
“Shhh. I love you. You love me. This is our baby, and as long as we have each other then that’s all we need.” With a deep breath the worry and fear faded from his eyes. The sound of glass breaking pierced my ears, and my eyes lifted back to Luke’s. I could see the pain in his eyes, the anger, and rage. He wanted to be loved, and cared for, and when Logan and I had found our forever he lost it.
He needed his own forever, his own lover. Before Logan or I could even say another word he was gone, walking down the hall and to his bedroom, leaving us with the happy news.
“He’s hurting. “ Logan whispered against my chest. I nodded knowing he was right, so fucking right but I had a way of fixing this. I could help. I knew I would never be able to give myself to him not as long as Logan was alive.
“I’ll fix this baby, well fix this together,” I whispered back, wrapping both my arms around his head, allowing him to hear the beat of my erratic heart.
“I love you, and our unborn child.” I could feel his love in the words he spoke and knew I was truly loved.

Dirty Deeds
(An Office Romance #2)
Chapter One
“Mr. Jefferson is here for your two thirty meeting.” Caroline, my temporary office assistant announced as she popped her head around the corner and into my office her dark blue eyes meeting mine.
“Go ahead and send him in.” I requested letting out a ragged breath. I leaned back in my chair casually. Cameron Jefferson had been one of my longest partners in the business industry but not only that; he was also my best friend. Any time I needed a lawyer, advice, or help he was there.
“When did I have to start scheduling an appointment to see my best friend?” Cameron joked as he stepped into my office. I shoved from the desk in a hurry and crossed the room in a few quick steps. We shook hands like we always did, and I couldn’t help but smile at the bastard because every time I seen him since Sadie came into his life he had been in a good mood.
“Only when you stopped coming around as often, that and it doesn’t help that I’m literally always fucking busy.” I sighed into the air scrubbing a hand down my face wondering if that one move could erase all the stress from my life. I was drowning in business deals, income reports, and phone calls from my father who was supposed to have given the company over to me, no strings attached.
“What can I say Sadie keeps me busy…” The grin on his face proved his statement to be true. I had never seen the man happier especially when it came to a woman. I was almost jealous, almost.
“I can tell. I’ve never seen you this happy about just breathing.” My attitude was a bit piss poor for seeing someone I hadn’t in months but I knew if anyone could understand my frustration it would be Cameron.
A gruff laugh escaped his throat. He looked good, better than he ever had and I hated to admit it but I was jealous. God damn was I jealous. He had everything I could ever want but here I was still a bachelor. To say I was done with the one-night stands was an understatement yet I still hadn’t found a woman worth my time.
“Actually, I’m here because of Sadie…” There was a change in Cameron’s voice hell; there was a change in the air too. The kind of change that told me a favor was on the tip of his tongue. I was a businessman after all I knew how to spot that shit from a mile away.
I pursed my lips, and stared him straight in the eyes, there was a flicker of sadness there that I hadn’t seen before and it made me wonder what could possibly be wrong with him?
“Don’t beat around the fucking bush Cam. We’re businessmen, but most importantly friends. If you need something you know I’ll always do as much as I can too help you out.” I assured him, but the sadness in his eyes only seemed to grow. Frustration burned through my veins. It wasn’t something I enjoyed feeling towards one of my best friends but I was pretty close to breaking down and asking him what the fuck his problem was and why he couldn’t just come out with it?
A second later Cameron exhaled a deep breath, “Sadie has a friend, a very close friend.” I could see him struggling through whatever it was that he wanted to ask me. Cameron wasn’t someone that had trouble getting to the point so whatever was going on must be important. Which is why I was trying to be patient and wait it out, but patience wasn’t really my strong suit.
“Spit it the fuck out, Jefferson.” I snapped hitting the end of my rope. This shouldn’t be this hard. Cameron rolled his eyes at me in annoyance and then started to speak again.
“Chloe is her name. Sadie had a friend name Chloe, someone she has become close with. They both volunteer at the local woman’s shelter downtown.”
He trailed off, his eyes dropping to the floor before he took a steadying breath and looked back up at me. The nervousness that was rolling off of him would be amusing if it wasn’t taking up so much of my time.
“Get to the point.” I folded my arms over my chest.
“Alright, alright. Sadie told me last night that Chloe needs to find a new job or she’s going to lose her apartment and I know you aren’t a job agency or anything like that.” He paused and I knew then exactly what kind of favor he was asking for.
“If I recall correctly you were saying something about hiring a new assistant…” Why did the look on Cameron’s face make it seem like he had been the one to find an answer to all my problems?
“I don’t mean to be an asshole but I don’t hire just anyone…” Was there really anyway to say that without coming off as a prick?
Cameron sighed, “I wouldn’t have asked if she was anyone else, but she’s Sadie’s friend, and you know how it goes, happy wife, happy life.” I clenched my fists at my sides not because I was angry with Cameron but because I knew there was no way I could tell one of my best friends no, and that in a few days I would have a new assistant who probably didn’t know her mouth from her asshole and in the business industry that wouldn’t fly. That coupled with the fact I had no time to train her, it was like a train accident waiting to happen.
“Fine but I swear to you Cam if she can’t handle corporate business I will have to fire her. You’re my best friend so I’ll give her a chance but I’m trying to run an empire here and I need someone that can handle my demands.” And fuck did I have a lot of demands.
“Awesome…” The air around Cameron changed as he clapped his hands together. The nervousness that he stepped into my office with was still there and only seemed to be growing. If me hiring Sadie’s friend wasn’t what was making him nervous then he must have something worse he needed to tell me?
“So now that, that’s out of the way why the hell are you still so nervous…?” I questioned curiously leaning against my desk. A mischievous
glint appeared in his eyes, but it was when he spoke that I understood exactly what the fucker had done.
“Come in and meet your new boss, Chloe.” This time the nervous got turned on me. How long had she been standing there just on the other side of the door? My heart slammed against my ribs as soon as she pushed through the double glass doors. I was all but salivating when I finally finished looking her up and down.
I started at her strawberry blonde hair that looked softer than hair really should, and moved over her soft, but slightly young facial features. I took in the dress she wore that clung to her body in all the right places. Her tits were perky and one button away from exploding out of the top of her dress.
She was shapely, and the exact type of woman I liked to fuck. I didn’t like those stick thin women. I liked full women with a nice set of hips to hold onto while I pounded into them from behind. Yeah, this was going to be a problem, a big fucking problem.
“Hi, Mr. Nelson.” Oh sweet fucking Jesus my cock grew harder than steel as soon as she spoke. The large bulge now pressed uncomfortably against my slacks. Mr. Nelson? Oh hell no, Mr. Nelson was my father. I was Ryan Nelson playboy extraordinaire, and the man who could make you cum within seconds or so Cosmo Magazine said. I was a celebrity in some ways.
I swallowed around the lump in my throat and tried to discreetly adjust myself before my new employee realized just how turned on she made me. Fuck, I needed to remember that I was a fucking CEO of a multi-billion dollar company and that I didn’t get tongue tied over sexy women like Chloe, but that I also certainly didn’t pop boners like a sixteen year old boy that couldn’t control himself.
“Call me Ryan. Mr. Nelson is my father.” I hid the aggression from my voice, and desire to strip her bare and take her right here on my desk. Chloe tipped her chin up and down in understanding, her bangs moving against her forehead as she did so.
Looking over at Cameron the smirk on his face couldn’t be missed. That fucker. He knew exactly what it was that he was doing bringing her into my office. This sexy little damsel in distress as he claimed her to be. The fucking asshole knew the moment I saw her I wouldn’t be able to change my mind or go back on what I said. I had played right into his fucking hand.
“Ryan…” Cameron coughed hiding his laughter under it. I was totally going to kick his ass for leading the lamb right into the lion’s den.
“Thank you so much for this. You have no idea how much it means to me. I’m forever grateful Mr… I mean Ryan.” The words came out all at once, as she wrung her hands together nervously. I narrowed my eyes at Cameron once more giving him a look that said he owed me.
“Believe me sweetheart, it’s my pleasure.” Fuck me sideways. I needed to not say pleasure in her presence. The way her eyes lit up as I spoke basically gave me the indication she thought I was a God. It also meant that it wouldn’t take much effort to have her naked and beneath me.
“Alright…” Cameron cleared his throat taking a step back. “I’m going to go, and let you two get acquainted with each other. Let me know if you need anything, Chloe. I’ll get in touch with you next week Ryan. Maybe we can meet up for a beer or two…?” He didn’t linger not even for one second. Instead he slipped from the room as if he was never here to begin with. Leaving me alone with a boner, and a very attractive woman.
God, save me from making an ass of myself right now.
All I could do was stand there against my desk and stare at the sweet little lamb that Cameron had all but shoved at me. I squeezed my eyes closed in frustration. I needed to get my shit together before I did something stupid.
What, like fuck her? My subconscious knew me well.
“Are… are you okay?” Her voice was smooth, and sweet, so fucking sweet. I knew nothing about her except that I wanted her. God did I ever fucking want her.
I pinched the bridge of my nose. Get your fucking shit together Nelson!
“I’m fine.” I informed her rather harshly, a frantic look formed in those deep blue depths of hers. I was a dick. I should call Cameron right now and make him come and get her before it was too late. Before the lion sunk his teeth into her skin and tasted her blood.
I stared at her wondering what the hell I was going to do with her next. It was as I was staring at her that I noticed white teeth sinking into her ruby red bottom lip. How was it even possible that my cock grew harder in my slacks?
“Caroline!” I growled as I slammed a finger down on the phone directly next to me. I could feel the fear rolling off of Chloe in waves each one hitting me harder than the next and I wanted to be sorry for hurting her already but I couldn’t be. Not when I wanted to fuck the sweetness right out of her after only knowing her for all of five minutes. I needed her gone, at least for a couple of hours.
“Yes… Yes sir?” Caroline stumbled over her words through the receiver.
“Please come and get our newest hire Chloe and show her around the office. When you’re finished with that take her to HR and get her the new hire forms to fill out.” Good that should keep her busy and out of my way for a while.
I couldn’t take my eyes off of Chloe’s red lips; the desire to nibble at them was nearly consuming me. I could feel my body pulling me in her direction, needing to get closer to her at any expense.
“Of course sir.” Caroline gulped before her line of the phone went dead. I placed the phone back on the receiver and averted my eyes to anywhere but Chloe’s.
When Caroline walked in a moment later, after what seemed to be an eternity but couldn’t have been longer than a few seconds, relief flooded my veins. I could feel the heat of Chloe’s stare against my skin, the anger she was radiating was palpable and I wasn’t even looking at her. When I finally did look up at her just as she was leaving the office I saw a small trace of sadness fill her features.
You’re a douche bag.
“Fuck!” I swore as I tipped my head back and took in a deep breath of air. When I stepped foot into my office today I didn’t think it could be any worse than a bunch of paperwork and meetings. Little did I fucking know a beautiful temptress named Chloe would come walking into my life, kicking me in the balls, and taking my breath away. I couldn’t fuck my assistant, but I wanted too, hell I almost needed too.
“Deep breaths, Nelson. You’ve got this. You are the boss and you run this shit, not your dick.” I gave myself a pep talk as I stepped back behind my desk and delved into the stack of paperwork that I needed to review all while images of the alluring Chloe played in the back of my mind on repeat.
