CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE
JAX
Copper is all I can taste as I chew on my cheek. I wish I had a pack of candy on me, something to help distract my brain and pull me away from my flesh, but I don’t have anything.
Why did he have to go and ruin the moment? We were in perfect bliss, and then he was going to just go and deny it all?
This is for the best, though, right? Don’t let it get all muddy and convoluted. I’m just an employee—one with a now very awkward situation on my hands.
How does one simply go about their day working for someone who was once balls deep inside them? It’s not like I can quit right now; there hasn’t been enough time spent in this position for me to put it on my resume and have it look like it’s worth something.
The best choice for me now is to keep my head down, get as much experience as I can, and then try to find somewhere else to work.
If shit gets really bad, I can always go back to being an engineer.
Maybe even my old place of work will take me back?
It’s really not what I want to do. Even before all of this, I was enjoying myself.
I have a cool boss—who, unfortunately, has a really good dick—and it’s so different, a breath of fresh air.
I can’t let one stupid moment ruin it all.
There’s still so much time left in the day, so I choose to make the most of it. The rest of the week is crazy busy, so there won’t be time for anything but late work days. Today might be the last day to explore.
I throw on a pair of shorts and a tee and head out the door, not bothering to tell Kai where I’m off to. I have my work phone on me, plus my personal phone, which he could contact me on if needed. It’s Sunday, my day off. I will enjoy it as much as possible.
