Possessive Boss

“I love you too.” He kisses me again then walks off. “Better get to work. My boss is a real hard-ass.”

“Damn right she is. She has to deal with you.”

He laughs and leaves my office.

I sit at my desk, smiling to myself.

This isn’t the future I pictured. I always thought I’d be at the SEC doing financial analysis for big white-collar crimes. Instead, I’m helping to run a successful and growing hedge fund.

It’s amazing how things happen. It’s never a straight line, always a winding, stop-and-start jagged path through the wilderness. And now I’ve found my home, and I couldn’t be happier.

I have my Jacob, my love, my partner, my life. I’ve never been this happy or satisfied before. Sometimes, I’m afraid it might all go away.

But I know it never will. Because Jacob will never let it.

I’m devoted to him, every inch of me, and I always will be.* * *
