If I was going to daydream about my boss, I might as well get it over with—and make the most of it.
The tub filled fast and the water was hot. I eased myself down and fiddled with the controls until the jets pulsed around me and then I gave into the urge.
I could still picture those drops of water, running down his chest. My hands flexed, itching to follow the path of those droplets, and my mouth went dry, aching to follow the trail of one droplet in particular. The one that rolled down the slope of his pectoral and clung to his left nipple for what seemed like an eternity.
My peripheral vision had always been excellent.
Now, as I remembered, my own nipples tightened and I shivered as the water lapped at my skin. I slid a hand down my belly and imagined it was his. His hands had been hard, and just the slightest bit rough. To feel them on me…
I whimpered as I parted my flesh and started to stroke myself.
Heat spread across my skin as his hands caressed me. I could almost feel it.
This isn’t smart.
But the throbbing between my legs didn’t care about smart and the arousal driving me was stronger than anything I’d felt in a long time, maybe ever. Fuck being smart.
I cupped my breast with my free hand, rolling my nipple, as I imagined that it was Dominic, his touch strong and certain, just the slightest bit rough. Not too rough, though, and never with the intent to hurt.
I moaned as I imagined his teeth scraping across my neck, then down to my nipples before he moved lower, and lower…
My fingers stroked through the wet curls, the water pulsing and pounding all around me. Dominic’s hand, I thought, circling my clit.
Arousal jolted through me.
I whimpered as my mind fed me an image of him going to his knees before me, that golden blond head between my thighs, his mouth worshipping me. His tongue—what would that be like? I wouldn’t know, of course. Nobody had ever gone down on me before.
A moan tore out of me as I pushed two fingers inside my pussy. I imagined it was Dominic and my muscles spasmed around my fingers. At the same time, I arched up. The heel of my hand pressed against my clit and the pressure sent delight arcing through me.
Images flashed through my mind.
Dominic’s ass flexing as he rode me.
The way he would feel inside me, stretching me.
Those eyes, those bright blue eyes watching me as our bodies came together over and over again.
The pressure building inside me exploded and I came with a muffled cry. My blood roared in my ears, my heart thudded fast and hard.
I was about ready to release a long sigh of completion when everything in me froze.
“Ms. Davison?”
Shit!
Dominic…
I slammed my hand against the panels of the tub. “Yes?” It came out more a squeak than anything else.
“I’ve got Thai out here if you’re hungry…” There was a pause. He was in my room.
“Ah. Okay. I’m um…I need a few minutes, Mr. Snow. I’ll meet you downstairs!”

Dominic
With spring rolls and curry spread out in front of me, I called myself ten kinds of idiot.
But I wasn’t sure why.
Because I’d gone to get food for us instead of out to Olympus liked I’d planned?
Or because I’d dumped the food and followed the sound of the throaty moans I’d heard coming from the bathroom?
My cock was so hard now, so ready, I could feel the drops of pre-come leaking from it. But had I gone into that bathroom and knelt beside the tub? Had I taken her mouth in mine, slid my hand below the water to see what she was doing to make her moan so sweetly?
No.
I was scooping out rice and listening for the sound of her footsteps.
This was a mistake, I told myself.
It wasn’t the first time and I doubted it would be the last.
She was quiet.
Fawna hadn’t been that quiet.
It took me off guard to look up and find her standing in the door, wearing a faded pair of jeans and a worn T-shirt with a blue fish and the words Just Keep Swimming. She hovered there, looking flustered and so damn beautiful. All I wanted to do was back her up against the wall and strip her naked, then take up where she had left off.
Instead, I nodded to the food.
“Are you hungry?”
She nodded. “Yeah.” She nibbled on her lower lip as she came in. “I…uh…is there anything you need me to do for you?”
Yes. Tell me what you were doing in the bathtub and then let me do it all over again.
I gave her a tight smile. “No. You don’t officially start until Monday, Ms. Davison. Now…help yourself.”
As she came closer, I turned away.
I needed to get my head examined.
How had I possibly thought this could work out?
“Tell me what will please you, master.”
The sub was beautiful. Her red hair was short, cut close to her skull like a sleek, silken cap. Her skin was pale as moonlight and her eyes were blue as the summer sky. She was lush and soft, her curves ripe and she’d fill my hands to perfection.
In short, she was as different from Aleena as she could be.
I didn’t imagine it would make much difference, but maybe I could avoid calling her the wrong name.
I gestured to the floor and she knelt.
Reaching up, I cupped one breast in my hand, rolling the nipple until it peaked. She rubbed her cheek against my thigh, close to my cock. Deliberately, I closed my eyes and thought of Aleena.
“Take my cock out,” I said.
She did and I imagined it was another woman’s hands on me.
When she started to stroke me, I opened my eyes. “Did I tell you to do that?”
She froze, but it wasn’t fear in her eyes. It was excitement.
“Stand up.”
When she did, I bent her over the table. Need drove me, although it wasn’t need for her. It didn’t matter. She was all that was available—well, not all. I could have had any number of women here, but the woman I wanted wasn’t here.
Bringing my hand down on her ass, I listened as she gasped. It was nothing like the broken little moan I’d heard coming from Aleena’s bathroom.
“Don’t make a noise,” I told her.
The second time I spanked her, she bit back the sound. She swallowed her moan the third time and it was closer… “That’s it,” I muttered.
Nudging her thighs apart, I pulled out a rubber.
A few eyes came our way, but I ignored them. Public sex wasn’t normally my game, but if I stopped now, I might slip out of my head again and I needed the release.
I spanked the sub again and she made the same, low husky noise. I drove in, gripping her hips hard. “Don’t come,” I ordered her. I fucked her fast, hard, feeling my orgasm racing closer, picturing another woman bent over me, another woman struggling to hold back her climax.
Aleena—
“Please, master, let me come!” she begged.
I brought my hand down hard on her ass and she cried out, climaxing around me with brutal intensity. The internal milking of her pussy around my cock brought on my own release.
And in my mind, it was Aleena.
Come for me, Aleena…come…
As I came down from the intense orgasm my thoughts drifted. Tomorrow is Monday; the day Aleena officially starts working as my personal assistant. How will I ever be able to control myself, not rip her clothes off, bend her over and fuck her right in the office? I couldn’t help but smile at the thought.

“Good morning.”
I nearly crashed into Dominic Monday morning. It was six-fifteen and I’d been awake since a little before five, barely able to sleep.
I hadn’t seen him since our oddly tense lunch on Saturday and, althoug
h I was certain I’d been imagining it, I could have sworn his eyes slid over me when I wasn’t watching, that they’d linger on my mouth, my breasts…lower.
When I all but toppled over in my attempt to stop our collision, his hands came up and caught my arms, steadying me. My heart gave an odd, hiccupping sort of beat as his hands fell away, without even a hint of a pause.
“Good morning, Mr. Snow,” I said, stepping back at the exact moment he did.
“Are you ready to get to work?” he asked, giving me a polite, distant smile.
It took me until we got back into the main room to realize that he was talking to me differently. There was no warmth in his voice, not like before. He wasn’t being cold, exactly, but it was definitely all business. Not even a hint of flirting.
I should’ve been grateful. The last thing I needed was a boss who felt like he could openly flirt with his employees. I didn’t want that. Still, I couldn’t help but feel a pang when I thought about how much I’d enjoyed his light, subtle flirtations up until now.
“We’ve already talked about how you’re welcome to use the kitchen,” he said as we headed down the steps to the first floor. “But Francisco is coming in today. If there’s anything you’d like to have ordered in, let him know.”
He paused and lifted a brow. “Be warned…you don’t want to use anything of his without letting him know. He’s temperamental.”
Francisco. Mentally, I compared that name to the list I’d spent the weekend committing to memory. He was the chef who came in a few days a week. He spent the rest of the week at the main house—which, I now knew, was another property of Dominic’s.
Other staff here at the penthouse included Dominic’s household manager. She wasn’t exactly a butler, as Dominic didn’t like to have a lot of people invade his personal space here, but she managed the cleaning personnel and helped arranged any events that might take place at the penthouse.
There was also a chef at the house in the Hamptons, a groundskeeper who headed an entire crew of landscapers, a butler at the main house, a household manager at the main house, a crew of housekeepers…the list went on and on.
Each of the people in charge were responsible for hiring’s and firing’s, but they might occasionally reach out to the household manager, or if she wasn’t available, to me. That wasn’t likely to happen any time soon, but she wanted me to be prepared and she’d be introducing me over the coming weeks so I’d be familiar with all of them.
“Whatever you want to have on hand for breakfast, make sure you note it down. Lauren or Cisco will make sure it’s here, okay?” he said as he opened the refrigerator and took out an energy drink. “You need to feel comfortable here.”
I nodded.
“Obviously, here in the city, there will be more interaction between us since there isn’t a separate entrance. Feel free to entertain around work, but I do ask that, unless we’ve talked about it, you limit it to your quarters. I don’t usually have parties here, but I do bring home women from time to time and it could be awkward if we both had company in the same place.”
I tried not to think about my own fantasies of being one of those women he brought home. Or the pang I felt when I thought about him having sex with someone else.
“Since you have the guest house in the Hamptons, I don’t really care what you do there, as long as it doesn’t interfere with your work.”
I nodded again, acting like I was filing all of this away even though I was actually still trying to process everything that was happening. What he was talking about right now didn’t really matter anyway. I had one friend in the city and no romantic interest in anyone—unless of course I considered my bathroom fantasies. I wasn’t planning on bringing anyone back here or to the Hamptons anytime soon.
The sound of the door opening was followed by a quick and cheerful, “Hello!”
A grin flashed over Dominic’s face, one that brought a rush of heat to my belly and a knot to my throat. I wanted to see him smile like that when I greeted him.
And how silly was that?
Fawna appeared in the doorway and looked between us. “Well, the two of you are already up and moving.”
“You know me,” Dominic said, tipping his drink in her direction.
“Yes, I do.” She gave him a smile and then turned her friendly eyes toward me. “And Aleena…did you get settled in?”
“Yes.” Some of my tension faded away. “Mostly. I’ve gone over the paperwork you’ve given me, too.”
“Please tell me you didn’t spend your entire weekend working.” She tsked under her breath.
“No.” I glanced at Dominic and then back at Fawna. “I was able to get some shopping done as well. I needed to expand my wardrobe.”
“Ahhh…yes. That was actually going to be on the schedule for today.”
“I…” I blinked. “What?”
Dominic folded his arms. “Your wardrobe. I told Fawna I wanted her to take you shopping.”
“I’ve been shopping,” I said. I gestured at the neat black suit I wore. I knew they couldn’t find fault with it. It was Chanel. It cost two hundred dollars…used. There wasn’t anything wrong with it.
Dominic opened his mouth, but Fawna held up a hand and stepped between us. “I see you have. That’s a lovely suit, Aleena. It’s very flattering.”
I angled my chin up, fighting the urge to glare at the man standing behind Fawna.
“You’ll need more than one or two nice pieces for the job as my assistant, Aleena,” Dominic said, his voice flat.
“I can buy my own clothing,” I retorted.
Something that might have been surprise flashed through his eyes.
Fawna, ever the peacemaker, cut in again. “Aleena, perhaps you’ll allow me to look at your wardrobe. I have a good idea what you’ll need—I’m sure you can agree there.”
“I…” I stopped and then nodded.
“Wonderful. And if you are amenable, then you’ll allow Dominic to help you with your…wardrobe expansions.” She winked at me. “After all, you understand that your appearance reflects on Dominic and the Winter Corporation, yes?”
I fought the urge to grit my teeth as I mentally counted to ten, then back. Finally, I looked from her to Dominic. “I don’t believe in letting somebody pay my way,” I said quietly. Then I looked away. “But fine. I’ll let you buy a few pieces. Enough to last me a few weeks. After that, I’ll start buying a piece a week with my own money.”
“Aleena, it’s not like I can’t afford—”
“Perfectly reasonable,” Fawna said, interrupting Dominic.

I was exhausted.
The past week had been a whirlwind of work, shopping, work, studying, work, and more work.
I don’t think I spent so much time cramming since college.
I’d committed a ridiculous amount of material to memory—it wasn’t something I talked about, and I didn’t like to, either. At school, I had noted how people reacted when they figured out my talent—they didn’t like it. But my memory was phenomenal. I’d never had to note orders down at any of the restaurants where I worked. I just repeated them back once and I had them nailed.
Something a little more complicated required me to write it down, but once I did, it was stored in my memory. So my work-around was to take Fawna’s notes and write them down, organizing them in a way that worked better for me.
Now I just hoped it came in handy.
Fawna wasn’t here.
She was spending the weekend at the hospital with her little grandson and…oh, my, goodness. What a cutie. When I’d asked about him, she told me that she’d love to take me up to see him so that was how I’d spent my Friday night, visiting with her and tiny little Eli.
He was so small. I’d seen dolls bigger than him. His wizened little face had stared up at us with somber eyes.
Pushing aside the thoughts of Eli and Fawna, I focused on the house that had just come into view. I almost had to pick my
jaw up on the floor and I amended the term. That wasn’t a house.
Mansion, I guess.
It was massive. Five families could have easily fit in there and I had no idea how many acres of land the house sat on. The attached garage could probably house ten or twelve cars.
The car came to a halt in front of a smaller house. Smaller compared to the other house, at least.
“Maxwell?” I asked quietly.
The driver of the car glanced into his mirror as he put the car into park. “Yes, Ms. Davison?”
“Is this…” I paused and cleared my throat. “Would this be the guest house?”
“It would.” He smiled.
I didn’t let myself gape.
Okay, I’d known Dominic was rich, but suddenly, rich was taking on a whole different meaning.
I opened the door and received a censuring gaze from the driver. “I can open the door, Max,” I said.
“So can I and I’m paid to do it,” he countered.
“But I feel silly letting somebody open a door I’m perfectly capable of opening myself.” He looked as though he wanted to argue, but then he finally just sighed and shook his head, a faintly exasperated but amused smile on his face.
As Maxwell took my bags out of the trunk, I automatically reached for one. He gave me one of those stern looks that some older gentlemen can give without being condescending. According to the files Fawna had given me, Maxwell had been driving for the Snow family since he was nineteen and had followed Dominic when he’d moved out. I’d seen Maxwell with Dominic and it was clear there was a tight bond between them.
“Do you want these in the master bedroom, Ms. Davison?” he asked as he followed me to the door. This time, I noticed what I hadn’t before. Maxwell was British.
“Ah…call me Aleena, please?” I gave him my best smile as I thought it through. I hadn’t realized there was more than one bedroom. “Use the master bedroom, please.” Why not, I figured. I was the only one staying here, right?
