Chapter 3 My BOSS

I'd always had a dangerous attraction to my boss, though I couldn't pretend last week's incident was entirely accidental.

What started as a late night at the office, just the two of us finishing a report, unraveled into something wild, something I could never have imagined.

The following Tuesday, sunlight spilled through my window, bright and taunting. I dressed carefully, choosing every detail as if I were preparing for battle, and set off for work. This job had its perks, but none as intoxicating as the man who ran the place.

Tony.

He wasn't just handsome, he was impossible to ignore. Towering at 7'1, broad-shouldered, with features cut from stone, he carried himself with effortless dominance. Whenever he leaned down to look at me, that smile carved across his face, I felt small, exposed, and dangerously tempted.

Sometimes my imagination betrayed me. Once, I'd climaxed just from picturing him pressing me against his office desk, taking what he wanted without a word. That thought alone was enough to leave me trembling.

And yet, every time he strolled past my desk, the same weakness spread through my knees. I was lost in that delicious haze again when his voice, low, smooth, and commanding, snapped me back to reality.

"Lost in thought, are we?" Tony's baritone teased, smooth as velvet but laced with authority.

I jolted, my pen slipping across the paper, betraying my distraction. His shadow loomed over me as he leaned against my desk, folding his strong arms across his broad chest.

"Y-yes, sir," I stammered, heat rising to my cheeks.

His smile widened knowingly, like he could see right through me, stripping me bare without laying a hand. "I was asking if you're ready for the meeting. Or do I need to remind you of what happens when you're not prepared?"

The room seemed smaller with him so close, my breath shallow, knees trembling just like every time he came near. I could still remember last week, how the air had cracked with tension, how one unfinished report had turned into something far more dangerous.

And here he was again, towering, teasing, tempting... reminding me why it was getting harder to call this just a job.

I couldn't explain what was happening to me anymore.

Around Tony, I lost all sense of control. Maybe it was the age gap, he was 50, powerful, refined, commanding, while I was just 24, freshly graduated and eager to prove myself. He wasn't just a boss; he was temptation wrapped in authority. And in my professional space, desire felt twice as dangerous.

The day crawled by after the morning meeting, and as evening fell, the office grew quieter. Most people had already left when I started packing up. That's when my phone buzzed, lighting up with a message that made my pulse skip.

"Remember the report from last week? Come to my office, we need to finish it together."

A thrill shot through me. My legs felt like they were carrying me against my will, each step toward his office heavier than the last, anticipation coiling in my chest.

When I pushed open the door, he was waiting, seated behind his desk, that knowing smile playing at his lips. His eyes held me in place before a word was spoken.

We worked side by side, but the silence between us wasn't ordinary, it hummed with tension, with memory. His nearness pulled at me, his voice sank into me, and yet he never acknowledged what had happened last week. It was maddening.

Instead, we filled the air with small talk, the kind of harmless chatter that only made the forbidden thoughts louder in my head. By the time we wrapped up an hour later, my nerves were raw, my body restless.

Then Tony leaned back in his chair, gaze lingering on me with unspoken weight.

"How about a drink?" he said, his voice smooth, deliberate.

And just like that, the air thickened again, promising that the night was far from over.

I hesitated for a beat, his words hanging in the air like a challenge. A drink. Simple on the surface, but the way Tony said it made it sound like something far more dangerous.

"Sure," I managed, my voice softer than I intended.

He stood, towering over me, and gestured toward the door. His hand brushed the small of my back as we walked out together, so subtle it could have been accidental, but my body reacted as if he had claimed me.

The city outside was quiet, the streets dim under the late hour. Tony led me to a sleek little bar tucked away just a block from the office. Inside, low jazz spilled through the speakers, and warm golden light softened everything into something intimate.

We sat across from each other in a corner booth. He ordered for us without asking, his confidence wrapping around me like a second skin. When the drinks arrived, he slid a glass toward me, his eyes never leaving mine.

"To late nights," he said, raising his glass.

Our glasses clinked, but the sound felt far too small for the weight of the moment. I sipped, the burn of liquor tracing fire down my throat, heat pooling in my stomach. With every passing minute, the space between us seemed to shrink. His smile lingered, his gaze sharp, like he was peeling away my composure one layer at a time.

"So tell me," he said, voice low, leaning forward just slightly, "do you always let work follow you home... or is this different?"

The question dripped with implication, and I suddenly knew, this wasn't about the report anymore.

I held his gaze over the rim of my glass, my pulse quickening at his words. Different? The question was innocent enough, but the way he asked it made the air between us thrum.

"I guess this feels... different," I admitted, my voice quieter than I intended.

Tony's smile deepened, faint but knowing, and he leaned back in the booth as though he'd just confirmed something he already suspected. He didn't press further, which somehow made the tension coil even tighter.

We talked about nothing and everything, snippets of our days, stray stories from his past, half-baked dreams of mine. Yet beneath each word ran an undercurrent, the silent conversation our bodies were having in glances, pauses, and the subtle brush of his hand against mine as he reached for his glass.

Time slipped away unnoticed. The bar grew emptier, the music softer. I caught myself watching the lines on his face, the way years had carved depth and authority into him, making him even more magnetic. Every laugh, every glance, pulled me deeper.

And still, neither of us acknowledged last week. The restraint was deliberate, almost cruel, like a game we both knew we were playing.

When we finally stepped out into the night, the cool air hit me, sobering and electrifying at once. He walked beside me in silence, his presence a force that made the world around us fade.

At the curb, where we'd part ways, he turned to me. His eyes lingered on mine for a beat too long, the corner of his mouth curving upward.

"Get home safe," he said, his tone smooth, leaving the promise of more dangling in the space between us.

I had just started to turn away when he caught my arm and pulled me back, his lips pressing firmly against mine. I melted instantly, like butter meeting a hot pan.

"I didn't mean for it to come out this way," I whispered between breaths, "but... my place is closer."

No further words were needed. We both understood. Moments later, we were in his car, the silence thick with anticipation as he drove. My apartment was only a few streets away, and as soon as we stepped inside and the door shut behind us, the air between us ignited.

The door had barely closed before Tony caught me against it, his lips grazing my neck.

His grip tightened, warm and insistent, as his mouth lingered at the base of my throat. I could feel the rush of his breath against my skin, every kiss sparking a shiver down my spine. My hands moved up instinctively, clutching his shoulders, pulling him closer. The world outside faded, the only thing that existed was his weight pressing me into the door and the hunger in the way he held me.

As he pinned me tighter against the wall, his lips roaming my neck, a soft moan escaped me. My hips pressed forward on their own, searching for him, answering the urgency in his touch. His breath quickened against my skin, and the space between us seemed to disappear as his hands traced down my sides, pulling me closer still.
