The Carrero Effect - Falling for the Boss (Billionaire CEO)

“I ummm, think I need you to look these over in your office,” I chirp brightly, deliberately getting up to walk sexily into his room without a backward glance. I make sure I walk to his desk in full sight of the open door and bend over enough to slide the file down, just enough for my jacket to ride up, exposing my tight skirt, hugging my butt, lifting one foot slightly as though I’m reaching out, so my legs look shapelier in the confined material. The door shuts behind me almost immediately, his hands running up my thighs and igniting passion; I’m turned and thrown over his shoulder instantly, letting out a small squeal and giggle as he marches me toward that internal door.

I stretch out in my chair and arch my back, my desk is littered with papers, my laptop, files, and an overwhelming amount of random crap. It’s been a hard few days, not made any easier by my oversexed boss-lover and his attempts at dragging me into his cupboard at every opportunity. He’s succeeded more times than I want to admit, making that couch almost like a bed away from home.

He’s finally settled down into some sort of work routine and left me alone today. I can see him through the open door, head down as he types, focus intent, that old Carrero frown in place, showing he means business. I watch him for a few seconds, that familiar that swell of love inside of me. I can’t stop it, every time I look at him, I have to pinch myself that this is real, that I’m really here. He senses my eyes on him and glances up, throwing me a knee weakening smile, his youthful boyish, ‘I’m way too hot to be legal’, smile. I beam back and turn away, not wanting to give him too much encouragement. It doesn’t take much to send that libido spinning out my way lately and I only just managed to get really absorbed in my work.

I hear his phone ring and he sounds agitated when he answers, I know without confirmation that it’s her again. Ever since our return they have argued non-stop. He’s refusing to sit down with the lawyers until they can come to some sort of middle ground on where I fit in on this whole thing.

I’ve told him so many times that I shouldn’t be a factor in this, that I’ll step out and keep my distance until the baby is born for the sake of peace. He’s adamant he won’t let her dictate his life and I know that stubborn streak too well; he will never back down. He’s not capable of backing down when he’s got the bit between his teeth, that side to him won’t let him.

I tune out and focus back on what I’m doing and try to ignore the way his tone and anger are rising slowly or the way my stomach aches at the thought of her.
