Terminated for inappropriate behavior.
I couldn’t believe the letter in my hands.
Nine years. Nine
damn years I’d worked my butt off for one of the largest companies in
America, and I was fired with a form letter when I returned home from a week in
Aruba.
All because of a video taken when I was on vacation with my
friends—a private video made on my private time. Or
so I thought…
Pissed off, I cracked open a bottle of wine and wrote my own
letter to the gazillionaire CEO telling him what I thought of his company and
its practices.
I didn’t think he’d actually respond.
I certainly never thought I’d suddenly become pen pals with
the rich jerk.
Eventually, he realized I’d been wronged and made sure I got
my job back.
Only…it wasn’t the only thing
Grant Lexington wanted to do for me.
But there was no way I was getting involved with my boss’s
boss’s boss. Even if he was ridiculously gorgeous, confident, and charming.
It would be completely wrong, inappropriate even.
Sort of like the video that got me into trouble to begin
with.
Two wrongs don’t make a right.
But sometimes
it’s twice as fun.

I wondered if he’d be here.
I was mid-conversation with some former
colleagues I hadn’t seen in a few years when I got my answer. The sight of him
made me lose my train of thought.
On the other side of the room, Grant
Lexington stood wearing a classic black tuxedo. He was talking to an older
gentleman, which gave me the opportunity to really take him in—tall, broad
shoulders, yet not overly bulky, a narrow waist with one hand resting casually
in his pants pocket. Even from a distance, his confidence registered. There was
something about the way certain men held themselves that showed they were in
charge, and that really worked for me. It could take a man who was a seven and
make him an eleven in my book. On the other hand, a handsome ten with a meek
personality could be reduced to a five.
Mr. Confident held a drink in his left
hand and raised it to his mouth, but he stopped before drinking. He seemed to
sense something and looked around the room. When his eyes caught mine, a slow,
wicked smile spread across his face. He excused himself from the conversation
and strode toward me.
My body tingled as I watched him
approach with long strides, and I turned from the group I’d been standing with.
“What a pleasant surprise,” he said.
I tried to appear casual as I sipped my
champagne. “I’m filling in for Bickman.”
He nodded. “Of course.”
Grant eyed the group next to me. “Are
you here with a date?”
“No. You?”
He smiled and shook his head. “Would a
compliment be unwelcome? I wouldn’t want to sexually harass you.”
“Compliments are always welcome, Mr.
Lexington.”
His eyes sparkled. Taking hold of my
elbow, he led me a few feet away from the group I’d been standing with. “That’s
a dangerous thing to say to a man like me.”
“What was the compliment anyway?”
Grant’s eyes swept over me. “You look
beautiful tonight.”
I blushed. “Thank you.”
Grant stopped a waiter as he passed. He
gulped back the rest of the amber liquid in his glass and slipped the flute of
champagne from my hand, setting them both down on the waiter’s tray.
“I was drinking that.”
He motioned for the waiter to move
along and returned his attention to me. “I’ll get you more when we’re done.”
“Done with what?”
He held out his hand. “Dance with me.”
I shook my head. “I’m not sure that’s
such a good idea.”
He smirked. “I’m fucking positive it’s
not.”

Vi Keeland is a native New Yorker with three children that occupy most of her free time, which she complains about often, but wouldn't change for the world. She is a bookworm and has been known to read her kindle at stop lights, while styling her hair, cleaning, walking, during sporting events, and frequently while pretending to work. She is a boring attorney by day, and an exciting smut author by night!
