Falling for My Boss (One Night Stand 3)

“What do you want to play, Elizabeth?” Liv asked me as she and Aiden argued over Monopoly.

“Who me?” I asked, feeling like I was on the spot all of a sudden. I could see everyone staring at me and I just sat there not knowing what to say. I looked over at Scott and he gave me a small smile. “I don’t mind. I’m just happy to be here. I’m surprised I was invited.” I looked at Alice then. “I wasn’t sure how you’d feel about me being here.”

“Oh, I’m fine.” She said and then laughed. “You were a great actress and I was jealous of you, but you were always nice. I’m glad you’re here. Liv and I need another girl in this group.”

“Aww, thanks. I’m so happy to be here.” I smiled at her and Liv. “I’m so glad to make some new friends in town. My friend Lacey just moved here, but we don’t really know anyone else.”

“Oh, I thought you made friends quite easily.” Scott interjected with a weird look on his face.

“I’m glad I gave you that impression.” I said and gave him a look. Was he going to ruin this moment?

‘I think we all got that impression, didn’t we?” Scott looked around the table, his tone surly.

“I’d be happy to show you around town.” Henry said. “And your friend Lacey, if you want.”

“I’ll ask her, thanks. I’d like that.” I grinned at him. Score one for Lacey!

“I’m sure you would.” Scott said and then chugged his beer down. “But would Shane?” I heard him say lightly under his breath. I glared at him, but he ignored me.

“You guys want to play truth or dare?” Liv said and we all chorused “yes.” I was glad that she had changed the subject so that Scott didn’t continue with his digs. I wasn’t sure how it happened, but my question was in relation to my job and I ended up telling everyone that I was no longer working for Bob and was jobless. I was starting to feel embarrassed for admitting that when Scott spoke up.

“Maybe I can help you with a job.” Scott said with a serious expression. “I’m looking for an assistant.”

“Oh really?” I said, my voice light. Oh God, please don’t let him bring up my last position as his assistant.

“Yeah.” He grinned. “I’m looking for someone trustworthy. Someone I can count on to do her work and not cause trouble in the office.”

“Sounds like I could be your girl.” I offered him a weak smile.

“Great, we can talk later.” He grinned at me as he continued chugging his beer.

“Okay.” I said and looked away. My heart was thudding and I didn’t know what was going on. Was Scott being serious? We continued playing a few more rounds when suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder.

“Hey Elizabeth,” Scott said and put his beer down on the table. “I need to get another beer. Want to go and talk in the kitchen while I get one?”

“Uh, okay. Sure.” I smiled awkwardly and got up. I saw Alice and Liv grinning at each other and I knew that they had a feeling that something was going on. “What are you doing?” I hissed at Scott as we walked into the kitchen.

“What do you mean?” He said innocently as he opened the fridge. “Want a beer?”

“No.” I shook my head and sighed. “I don’t understand you, Scott. What do you want from me?”

“You’ll see.” He grinned and I felt his hand on my back, running down to my ass. I jumped and looked out to the dining room.

“Scott, what are you doing?” I glared at him.

“Not much right now.” He laughed. “But, do you want to know what I’m going to do to you?” His voice was soft as he leaned towards me and whispered into my ear. My legs shook and my skin tingled at the feel of his warm breath. He didn’t wait for me to answer before he continued talking slowly in a seductive voice. ”The next time I get you in my bed, I’m going to tie you up so you can’t move, then I’m going to spray whipped cream on your breasts and then I’m going to—”

“Scott!” I cut him off, my face going red as Alice and Liv looked over at us from the table with confused and interested expressions from across the room, where they were looking at a photo album from their high school days, while they waited on the game to resume.

“Yes, Elizabeth?” He stepped back and smiled at me innocently.

“Stop it,” I hissed at him and then smacked his chest when I saw his sister Liv and her best friend, Alice, looking away.

“Stop what?” he said with a smirk and ran his finger across my lips gently.

“You can’t do that.” My eyes flashed at him as I looked at the two girls again. What was he playing at? Was he going to expose me and the fact that we’d already met? Heat spread across my face and warmed my belly as I stood there in front of him. Oh, God, he wasn’t going to tell them about our shared past, was he? Not that I cared, but I didn’t want them to think I was a bigger liar than I was. Oh the irony of the situation.

“I think you’ll find I can do what I want,” he said casually and then leaned back down to whisper in my ear again. “And I think after I’ve sprayed the whipped cream on your breasts and down your stomach, you’ll be begging me to do what I’m thinking about doing next.”

“What’s that?” I swallowed hard, not believing I was allowing myself to question him. Like I even cared about what he was going to say. Like I wanted his lips on me. Again. I shook my head slightly, to remind myself that I certainly did not want his lips on me again. No sir. No thank you. I didn’t need to feel the incredibly hard and sensuous Scott Taylor sliding inside of me. Not until we’d had a proper conversation. Not until we finally stopped playing these hot and cold games.
