with my teeth and he groaned quietly. I cupped his chin and made him turn his head so I could kiss him.
The kiss was so deep, need and lust all mixed into a heady cocktail of emotions. Suddenly, the phone started ringing and we were interrupted once again. He picked it up only to put it back down.
“Thank you,” he said after a heartbeat.
I slowly pulled my hand back and he buttoned his shirt again but left the jacket hanging on the back of his chair. He took my arm and gently pulled me onto his lap. Sitting on his knee wasn’t exactly part of my job description, but who was I to argue with a hot boss like that.
I really, really liked him. I couldn’t help it.
“Let me tell you a secret,” he said quietly into my ear. “I had my doubts about hiring a woman I had known for only a couple of days. In fact, I was sure I wouldn’t hire you because I knew nothing about you. But as soon as you called me for the first time, something changed. As soon as I heard your voice again, I knew I needed you by my side. And my instincts weren’t wrong.”
Warmth swirled in my stomach. I was glad to hear I affected him just as much as he did me. It all seemed so crazy, but here we were, pulled towards each other by some unnamed force. He kissed me swiftly on my lips and motioned for me to stand up. He stood next to me, putting on his jacket.
“Are you ready to go home or do you need to do something?”
“If it’s all right with you I would like to continue reading through my responsibilities at my new job.”
“Okay, I have to drive to a site. It will take at least a couple of hours. Please don’t hesitate to use the company car to get home safely,” he said, making it sound more like an order than a suggestion.
“Thank you,” I replied with a smile on my face.
He came closer to me and wrapped me in a tight hug before kissing me goodbye. I wanted it to last forever, but he had an empire to run and I had my own duties to attend to. We reluctantly let go of each other.
“See you tomorrow,” I said as I turned to leave.
“I’ll pick you up at eight. Bye, babe,” he replied, making me giggle.

I stepped out of my SUV and onto the mining site, staring at the huge crater before me. Since most of the workers were still sick, there weren’t many people around, which suited me just fine. The conversation I was about to have could turn ugly, fast, and I didn’t need bystanders meddling about.
“Jack! Eric!” I called out, picking up the scent of wolf from the air.
It didn’t take long for the Figo brothers to meander over, eyeing me from under their hardhats with thinly veiled anger.
“Hey, boss ,” Jack greeted me, thumbing his belt loops.
“Come to see how your new employees are doing?” Eric asked with a nasty grin.
“Sorry, this isn’t a social call. Bradley made a mistake hiring you. I’m here to let you know your services are no longer needed,” I replied, trying to stay civil.
The wolves had always tried to get in on the bear clan’s land, and I knew working for me was just another ploy to get close enough to start trouble. Eric’s grin turned to a snarl as Jack stepped closer, yellow starting to swirl in his grey eyes.
“You can’t just fire us, we have a contract,” the man argued.
I put my hands in my pockets and leaned back on my heels, cocking my head. Nothing like looking relaxed to show a predator you’re not threatened. The gesture wasn’t lost on Jack as his hands balled into fists at his sides.
“Yeah, you have a contract. That my fleet of overpaid lawyers will contest without even breaking a sweat. Are you ready for a costly legal battle, Jack?” I asked with an arched brow. “You knew you weren’t welcome here.”
Jack might have been the Alpha of the local wolf pack, but I was the head of a billion dollar company. At the end of the day, he knew he was no match for me. Which is why he was resorting to cheap ploys like getting Bradley to hire him as part
