Beneath Her Bastard Boss

Blair was a little surprised she only had a slight headache after drinking what she had last night.

Roman tilted his head as he studied her. Sighing, he sat up on the bed to face her. “What is it?”

He was totally unconcerned about his nakedness. Why would he? Not only was his body impressive, but his equipment was nothing to sneeze at, he also knew how to use it. Blair never realized what she was missing while involved with Dan.

Blair looked down at her hands resting on her lap. Needing to look away from the heat in his eyes for a moment. He had always had a very intense gaze, and she squirmed a little because it was zeroed in on her now, after everything they had done. She felt the need to reach out and touch his chest and right now; they had to talk. Not have sex again. She didn’t think she could, anyway. She was just a little sore. This much sex in a short timeframe had put her muscles to the test.

*… I’m not sure if this… No, I know this wasn’t a good idea. We work together and I just found out my fiancé was sleeping around.” She couldn’t tell him that Dan wanted her cousin over her. “I shouldn’t have gotten drunk last night… and… and…”

Sweeping a hand to gesture towards the bed. Which was a mess. Blair couldn’t see any pillows. The last time she had seen one was when he had used one under her hips. The very thought made her squirm. “Me sleeping with you makes me no better than Dan.”

Roman put a warm finger under her chin, lifting her face up so she was looking at him. “I have no regrets. Was your relationship with Dan over before you had sex with me? Regardless if you said the words to him or not. In your mind, was it over?”

Blair nodded. It felt a waste. Not losing Dan, but more the time she had wasted on him.

Roman ran his finger over the almost indent in her chin. “We had some very hot sex. Because I have to tell you, the chemistry between us was red hot. You have nothing to feel guilty over.”
