Chapter 34 – Harrison

HARRISON
The hours required to get Sweet Seasons ready to go public were brutal and unforgiving, and everyone—even me—could feel the stress pulsating through the building.
After watching ten different interns pass out at their desks, I did something I’d sworn I never would.
I gave everyone full weekends off.
No more mandatory Saturdays.
Just for now…
In the midst of the chaos, Andrea and I carved out our own escape. We found each other whenever we could—wherever we could.
I bent her over the boardroom table after midnight strategy sessions, the city lights spilling across her bare skin.
She dropped to her knees for me in the elevator between floors. More than once, we disappeared into the dim hallway shadows and tangled together before anyone noticed we were gone.
Little by little, her presence seeped into my life beyond the office. She stopped being just my CFO.
She spent nights at my place. I went on condo tours with her while she searched. And before I knew it, we were sharing a town car every day.
I was spending more time with her than anyone else in my world—and somehow, it still wasn’t enough.
I wasn’t sure it ever would be.
