The trouble is, I hooked up with my coworker. And now I'm falling for him.
I’ve been keeping my crush on Benjamin Daniels under wraps for years. It was easy when he was just a hot office hunk with delectable forearms and piercing blue eyes. But ever since the night he almost kissed me, it’s become nearly impossible.
It doesn’t help that he calls me every day, and we share a thread of never-ending emails. Or that when he stops by my cubicle and flashes his flirty smile my body churns with desire.
I tell myself not to get caught up in the haze. That men like him don’t fall for women like me. Because it’s one thing to give in to temptation when I’m alone. It’s another to put my heart on the line.
But when a game of pretend to deke my ex leads to the hottest kiss of my life, the lines start to blur. And now that I know what his mouth tastes like and how his hands feel on my body, there’s no stopping my mind from wandering to places it shouldn’t.
I guess what they say is true—you can’t like a person for so long and then not feel something when you finally give in to temptation.
Now I have to make a choice: protect my relationship or my career.
But I know one thing for certain.
I’m going to get hurt either way.
