Guarding His Heart (Forever Love 4)

“Where are you?”

“On my way.”

“You’re late.”

“I’ll be there in a minute.”

“I expect my coffee at 9am sharp.”

“Sorry.”

“Don’t think you can come in late because you’re f**king the boss.”

I put my phone in my pocket angrily and rode up in the elevator fuming. Why had I slept with him? Why had I agreed to friends with benefits? I was stupid to enter such an agreement with my boss. I sighed and stepped out of the elevator and took a deep breath. I entered the office and put my game face on.

“What do you want?” I knocked on Leo’s door and he looked up at me with a grin.

“You out of that suit, please.” He winked at me, but I didn’t smile.

“What do you want from the coffee shop?” I asked, talking very slowly.

“Are you in a bad mood this morning, Hannah?” Leo stood up and frowned as he walked towards me. “Where’s my morning kiss?”

“I’m just trying to do my job.” I frowned and then stared at his face in confusion. “Why are you laughing at me?”

“You didn’t take my texts seriously did you?” He smiled and held up two coffees in his hands. “I got us some coffee and some bagels and I got you a muffin as well.”

“What? Why did you text me and complain about the time then?”

“I didn’t want it to be cold when you got here.” He smiled. “I wanted to surprise you this morning, but you weren’t here, when I got here. I was disappointed.”

“Oh, sorry.” I took the coffee from him. “This is so sweet. I’m sorry I’m late, but Fakio hogged the bathroom all morning.”

“Who?” He looked confused.

“This guy my roommate has started seeing. I don’t know his real name. He goes by Fakio and Antonio.” I laughed at the expression on his face. “I’ll explain it later.”

“When do I get to meet your infamous roommate?” He asked softly as he handed me a bagel and cream cheese.

“You want to meet her?”

“She sounds hilarious.” He grinned. “Who wouldn’t want to meet her?”

“I guess when you come over.” I smiled at him. “Maybe tonight?”

“Is that an invitation?”

“It is if you want to come?”

“I always want to come.” He winked at me and I groaned.

“I suppose I walked into that one, didn’t I?” I laughed, suddenly feeling light-hearted.

“Yeah, you did.” He pulled me towards him and gave me a big kiss. “I’ve been wanting to do that all morning.”

“Well, good morning to you too.” I kissed him back breathlessly.

“Now, I have to go and face my father.” He groaned. “I’m not looking forward to it.”

“Do you want me to come? Is there anything I can do to help?”

“No.” He sighed. “I think there’s going to be a shouting match. You don’t need to witness that.”

“I can handle it.” I frowned. “I know I’m your assistant, but this isn’t the only job I can do or take.” I pursed my lips. “I want to be a part of this, Leo.”

He sighed and pulled away from me. “I know. Just not right now, okay. Not this case. I need to speak to my dad alone.”

“Fine.”

“I’m sorry.” He shook his head. “Maybe next time.”

“Yes, boss.” I shrugged and walked away from him.

“Hannah, stop.” He called after me, but I kept walking. I heard him run behind me and grab me behind the waist. “You’re not seriously mad at me, are you?”

“I’m not mad. I’m annoyed and frustrated yes. I feel like you don’t appreciate me for more than my body.”

“Of course I do.” He ran his fingers down my back and gently rubbed my ass. “I know you have a beautiful mind as well.”

“I’m smart, Leo.” I turned to him with my eyes flashing, trying to ignore the sudden warmth in my belly.

“I know you’re f**king smart.” He slammed the door behind me shut and locked it. “You’re one of the most intelligent women I know.”

“I want to have a real role.” I groaned as he pulled my skirt up. “I want you to include me in important meetings.”

“I’ll include you in every meeting after this one.” He pulled me towards his desk and pushed his laptop to the side, before pushing me forward.

“I want to be seen as someone who can be a manager.” I moaned as I lay on the desk, my ass in the air.

“You can and will be a manager.” He grunted as he pulled my panties down.

“I want to be asked for my opinion.” I squirmed on the desk as I heard him undoing his zipper. “I want to be asked questions.”

“I’m going to ask you a question right now.” He grunted as he rubbed the head of his c**k next to my opening.

“I want my opinion to matter.”

“It matters all right.” He groaned as his c**k rubbed my wet clit. “Let me ask you a question right now.”

“What?” I cried out as he slid his c**k into me slowly.

“Does this feel good?” He grunted as he pulled out of me slowly.

“Yes.” I moaned and closed my eyes.
