LONG FOR ME by Stacey Lynn
My boss already controls my days; do I want to give him my nights, as well?
Rebecca
I’ve seen what happens when you give everything to a man. That’s not what I want. I won’t have my heart crushed in anyone’s fist.
Then he changed everything.
Him. Bennett Ashby. My boss.
Seeing him at Luminous, dressed in leather pants and wielding a whip…
Do I crave this?
My mind says no, but my body is starting to have very different ideas.
Bennett
I knew Rebecca Morales would be the perfect assistant. That’s why I hired her.
I didn’t know that working with her every day would lead to temptation—to own her, to possess her.
When she walked into Luminous, I knew I was screwed. Dipping your pen in the company ink is never smart, but we both agreed what happens at the club stays there.
One night and then it’s back to business tomorrow.
Except I don’t want just one night with Rebecca. I want them all.
