Chapter 1: Seraphina’s POV

“Can you move aside?” A rough voice came behind me. I was surprised, so I turned around to look at the man standing behind me in the line. “I’m sorry?” I say, while feeling flustered. “Did you want to get through?”“No. I want these fucking idiots at the counter to hurry up. I’m going to miss my damn flight.” He sneers, and I can smell alcohol coming from him.“They make me sick.”I face forward again. Wonderful, a drunk guy in the check-in line.Exactly what I need.Heathrow Airport is filled with a lot of people. Bad weather has caused delays for most flights, and to be honest, I wish my flight was delayed too. Then I could go back to the hotel and sleep for a whole week.I’m really not in the mood for any of this.I hear the man turn around and start complaining to the people behind him, and I roll my eyes. Why are some people so rude?For another ten minutes, I listen to him complain, grumble, and groan until I can’t stand it anymore. I turn to him. “They’re doing the best they c

Chapter 2: Seraphina

“Maybe the man at the counter thought you were beautiful and upgraded your seat to impress you.”“I never thought about that.” I sip my champagne while trying to hide my smile. That’s a strange thing to say. “Is that what you would do?” I ask. “If you worked at the counter, would you upgrade women to impress them?”“Absolutely.”I smirk.“Impressing a woman you’re attracted to is very important,” he continues.I stare at him, trying to keep up with the conversation.Why does that sound like flirting?“And tell me...” I say. “How would you impress a woman you’re attracted to?”His eyes stay locked on mine. “I’d offer her a window seat.”The air between us feels warmed, and I bite my lip to hide my silly smile.“You’re trying to impress me?” I ask.A slow, attractive smile spreads across his face. “How am I doing?”I smirk, not sure how to answer.“I’m only saying that I think you’re attractive, nothing more and nothing less. Don’t overthink it. It’s a statement, not a question.”“Oh.”

Chapter 3: Seraphina

I widen my eyes to make my point clearer.“To be nice.”“Oh, right.” He frowns as if preparing himself to tell a lie. “Seraphina... all men are completely turned off by Backseat Barbies.”I smile and lift my glass toward him.“Thank you, Bash.”“Although...” He pauses for a moment. “If they give a good head...”What the hell?I accidentally snort champagne through my nose and begin coughing. That was the last thing I expected him to say.“Bash,” I splutter as champagne sprays everywhere.He laughs while grabbing some napkins and handing them to me. I wipe the drink dripping from my chin.“Men who look like you aren’t supposed to talk about head.” I cough.“Why not?” he asks in surprise. “And what exactly do you mean by men who look like me?”“All serious and everything.”He stares at me blankly.“Define everything.”“You know, older, rich, and bossy.”His eyes sparkle with amusement.“And what makes you think I’m rich and bossy?”I let out an exaggerated sigh.“You look rich.”“How?”

Chapter 4: Seraphina

Oh no.“Don’t look so happy about it.” He smirks.“Bash...” I stammer.Oh God, how do I explain this?“I’m not really the type of woman who...” My voice fades away.“Who fucks on first dates?” he asks, finishing the sentence for me.“Yes.” I cringe at how blunt that sounds. “I just don’t want you thinking...”“I know. I wouldn’t,” he replies quickly. “I don’t.”“Good.” Relief washes over me. “I was only flirting because I thought we’d get off the plane and never see each other again.”“Right.” He smirks, clearly amused.“Not that I don’t think you’re amazing,” I add. “Because if I were that kind of woman, I’d definitely be interested in you. We’d be fucking like...” I stop while searching for the right comparison.“Rabbits?” he suggests.“Yes.”He raises both hands.“I understand. Platonic humans only.”I grin.“I’m so glad you understand.”Seven hours later...He pins me against the wall while trying to pull my skirt over my hips, his mouth moving hungrily along my neck.“The door,”

Chapter 5: Seraphina

“From the moment I saw you on the plane today, I wanted you riding my cock.”I giggle as I look down at him.“Do you always get what you want?”“Always.”He grabs my hips and pulls me down hard, and we both gasp with pleasure.Oh...He’s...“So fucking tight,” he groans.Keeping his eyes on mine, he slowly moves me up and down. I can feel every part of his thick shaft.His eyes are dark with desire as he looks up at me. I lean down and kiss him softly.“Do you know how perfect you feel inside me?” I whisper before lightly licking his parted lips.His head falls back.“You are one hot fuck.”He lifts me by my hips and drops me back down onto his cock, and I laugh at the intense feeling of being completely filled.“God, fill me up,” I moan. “Give it to me.”I love watching him lose control.It drives me crazy.Then, as if I’m in another world, I latch onto his neck and suck hard while riding him.He hisses.As though he’s completely losing control, he pulls me off him, lays me on my bac

Chapter 6: Seraphina

S FMy mother's tennis friends gave it to me as a present when I graduated from college. I really loved it... but oh well.He frowns as he looks at the stitched initials.I take the scarf from his hands and wrap it around his neck, covering the large purple mark. I smirk when I see it.I didn't even know how to give someone a hickey.I must have been completely caught up in the moment.“What does the F stand for?” he asks.“Fuck bunny.” I smile, trying to hide my disappointment. I don't want him to know that what he said earlier hurt my feelings.He chuckles and pulls me firmly into his arms before carrying me back toward the bed.“That description suits you perfectly.”He lifts my leg around his waist, and we share one final lingering kiss.“Goodbye, my beautiful fuck bunny,” he whispers.I run my fingers through his hair while looking at his handsome face.“Goodbye, Blue Eyes.”He picks up the scarf and takes a deep breath.“This smells like you.”“Wear it every time you jerk off.”

Chapter 7: Seraphina

“Are you excited?” Lucas asks.“Oh my God, I’m terrified,” I whisper as I turn toward him. “I’ve never done this kind of job before. I normally find stories together with my team.”He gives me a kind smile. “Don’t worry. We all felt that way when we first started. They wouldn’t have hired you if they didn’t believe you could do it.”I give him a crooked smile. “I just don’t want to disappoint anyone.”He reaches across and places his hand over mine. “You won’t. This team is amazing, and we all help each other.”I glance down at his hand resting on mine.“Oh.” He quickly pulls it back when he notices my discomfort. “I’m completely gay and apparently far too touchy. Just tell me if I get into your personal space. I honestly have no idea.”I smile, thankful for his honesty. “Okay.” I look around the office as more people start arriving. “How long have you worked here?”“Four years. I love it.” He shakes his shoulders to emphasize his point. “It’s the best job I’ve ever had. I moved from

Chapter 8: Seraphina

Oh my God.He stands up and walks around to my side of the desk, then holds out his hand for me to shake. “Sebastian Cross.”It’s him—the man from the layover who never asked for my number. I stare at him as my mind completely stops working.I can’t believe this. He’s the CEO?“Seraphina, tell Mr. Cross a little about yourself,” Victoria says, encouraging me to speak.“Oh.” I quickly pull myself together and shake his hand. “I’m Seraphina Ford.”His hand is firm and warm, and it instantly reminds me of how it felt on my skin. I pull my hand away from his as if I’ve been shocked.His playful eyes stay on mine, but his expression remains serious.“Welcome to Cross Global,” he says calmly.“Thank you,” I managed to say. I glance at Victoria. Oh God, does she know I’m the dirty-talking woman who slept with our boss’s boss’s boss?“I’ll take it from here, Victoria. Seraphina will be out in a moment,” Mr. Cross says.Victoria frowns and looks at me. “I’ll just—”“Wait outside,” he says, dis

Chapter 10: Seraphina & Sebastian

Seraphina’s POVI hold the black dress against my body and look at my image in the glass. Hmm. I toss it and the coat hanger onto the bed. I take the gray skirt and jacket and hold it up to myself.Maybe black?Shit. What do you put on when you want to look beautiful without looking like you are trying too hard? It is eleven o’clock right now, and I am choosing my clothes for my meeting with Mr. Cross tomorrow morning. Why does he even want to see me?I think I will choose the black dress. I place it on the chair. I take my shiny leather shoes and put them on the floor below the dress. What earrings? Hmm. I move my lips while I think. Pearls. Yes, pearls do not scream come have sex with me like the gold ones do. Pearls are smart earrings for work.Right.I will wash my hair and curl it tomorrow morning.
