"Why do you even care?" I fired at him hotly, my glare burning holes into his gorgeous face. It had been all about the passion and toe curling orgasms that he had given me but now, as I stared into his eyes, all I could feel was a need to slap that face. Hard. Annoyed, I threw up my hands into the air. "We are not even in a relationship, for god's sake! So I can f*ck or go out with any man I d*mn please!"

Make no mistake about that." *** Do I have a job that I love so much? Yes. Do I have a rude, grumpy boss who makes my blood boil and makes me plot ways to kill him and make it look like an accident? Abso-f*ck*ng-lutely! That was me until one misaddressed email came to disrupt everything I have worked for. And then I had to do a favor for the grumpy boss. My name is Cheryl Chastain and I am totally screwed.
