There was no bullshit when it came to Cecily andtied down to any one girl; and she liked guys who demanded control It was the co to question it She wasn’t shy about her need to be at the top of everything--including a coness to step on any and everyone to get there

She wanted ether, but she couldn’t have it And despite our current status and her greed-filled eyes, she wasn’t one to sleep her way to the top--we just happened to be a nice distraction for each other at work

I looked up just in ti in the hallway He hadn’t beenthere with his arms crossed over his chest, one eyebrow raised as he studied me

"Excuse me," I said, and moved to walk around him--he moved with me My eyebrows slanted down, and I looked up at him Yeah Up I was six-two To have to look up at so "Can I help you?" I asked when I noticed hisdown atexpression

The ave hi I’d grown up around sohters around, as well as soest meat heads But this fucker was massive "If you don’t mind, I have somewhere to be And lay off the steroids, old man"

When I went to move around him this time, he let me pass; but when I looked overat lanced behind him toward my office

My footsteps faltered and I racked uy Cecilyfor her at work--but I calaring at ht He looked like he was frustrated hat he was seeing inmy head as if to clear it, I looked ahead of me and continued down the halls to ot there, I stopped at his secretary’s desk "Hey, call security There’s a guy in here I’ve never seen before, and I don’t think he’s supposed to be here Height is probably six-five Weight is around two seventy or two eighty The guy is solid muscle, tan, Caucasian, black hair" I watched as she jotted everything down "Got it?"

Walking toward the office beside her, I knocked on the door as I opened it, and flashed a smile at my boss, Eli Jenkins

"Hey, Liam, come in and have a seat"

I sat in one of the two chairs on the other side of his desk, and waited for whatever he had to say as he sat directly next to me Despite what I’d told Cecily, I wasn’t worried about losing my job I knew Eli liked me and my work, and I was on the same path he’d taken in this industry But that didn’t mean he didn’t know about Cecily and me, and our interoffice relationship wasn’t exactly allowed

Before he could say anything else, his eyes snapped up when the door to his office quickly opened

"Two hundred and seventy to two hundred and eighty pounds? Hardly"
