Chapter 36:
Glancing over her shoulder, Eileen observed Bryan in his seat, eyes closed, the picture of authority. Was he asleep?
Eileen’s coworkers had shared updates on looming workloads left from the Lakedale trip. With Vivian unable to lend sufficient support, the brunt of the work was Bryan’s to bear.
Bryan’s request to go to the company at this hour surely hinted at unfinished work.
With a quiet exhale, Eileen released her seatbelt and exited the car. She circled to the backseat, opening the door.
The movement drew a slight knit of Bryan’s brows, his eyelids fluttering.
“Mr. Dawson,” Eileen’s voice held a gentle edge. “We’re at the office.”
Bryan’s eyes snapped open with a trace of irritation. “‘Why the rush? Are you eager to get back to your injured boyfriend?” he inquired, a weary edge to his voice.
Shaking her head, Eileen responded with careful neutrality, “‘Not at all. It’s just better to tackle work promptly. Plus, the sooner it’s done, the sooner you’ll get some time to rest.”
Bryan’s eyebrow arched as he exited the car, just a breath from Eileen. “I’ve got a video call lined up. Stick around and assist with the notes, will you?” His voice was a smooth baritone that rolled over her.
“Sure,” Eileen replied, peering up into his fatigued eyes, her resolve softened.
She secured the car door and shadowed him into the elevator, angling herself to press the button for the top level.
The confined space grew warmer. Eileen found herself hemmed against the wall, Bryan’s presence overwhelming.

His kiss was violent, eyes half-mast yet blazing with intent. It was his scent that weakened her resolve, compelling in its familiarity. When the doors slid open, he lifted her effortlessly.
Pressed against him, she heard the solid rhythm of his heart, an odd tranquility settling over her amidst the storm of emotions.
Her usual haven, the office lounge, hadn’t changed, but she didn’t feel the same. Bryan’s soft approach was laced with an assertive edge, silently declaring her his, stirring within her a profound sense of connection. It felt like they belonged to each other.
Unaware of when sleep had claimed her, Eileen’s eyes fluttered open to a sky blushed with the early light of dawn.
Beside her, Bryan lay in slumber.
