observing her. “I
never knew you had a family.”
    Temperance smiled. “Everyone has a family.”
    He released her arm. “Not me.”
    “Surely you must have had some family.”
    “None. I was passed through foster homes. Never did
stick.”
    “Oh, I’m so sorry.”
    “Are you married?” he asked.
    “What? No. I’m not married.”
    “Do you have a partner?”
    “No, I’m single, why?”
    “I’m just curious to know. I don’t seem to know a lot
about you.”
    “Mr. Bruce, all of these questions can be answered on
my employment form. You have them on all your employees, and you wouldn’t let
me work for you without it.”
    “Lifestyle choices change.”
    Temperance stared at him. “Are you married?”
    “No.”
    “Single?”
    “Yes.”
    “What about that woman? She doesn’t strike me as a
sister or a work colleague.”
    “Miss Harris, what are you doing?”
    “I’m asking reasonable questions. The way I see it, if
you can ask them personally of me, then I can do the same of you. You once said
you believed in equality, providing your employees knew that the final decision
was your own.”
    “You remembered that.” His lips gave a twinge as if he
was fighting a smile.
    “I’m sorry that my brother called the office. I won’t
let it happen again.” She started walking toward the door, and was about to
exit when his voice stopped her.
    “She’s a woman I fuck when the mood strikes me.”
    Glancing at her boss over her shoulder, Temperance
couldn’t believe the flood of arousal that swept over her from his blatant
words.
    He fucked in the office. She’d known all along, and
even though they were breaking the employer and employee code, she didn’t care.
    ****
    It was getting late, and Jay knew it was going to be
another day where Temperance wouldn’t be returning home to their apartment. She
hadn’t even called this time. Her boss, Richard, he was starting to be a
problem. He saw the difference in her. She liked her boss. No, not just liked,
it was too subtle a word. Temperance wanted her boss. The desire was clear in
her eyes, and Jay didn’t know what to do. He was losing the only woman he ever
loved, and it was all his fault. She had never shown the slightest interest in
him after their time years ago. He didn’t want to lose her, but other than
sharing her with this boss, he didn’t know if he was ever going to win her
over.
    Just the thought of his little Tempe losing herself
between him and another man had his cock so damn hard. She’d always had this
effect on him, consuming him with need.
    If only he’d fought for her back then. They had a lot
of history.
    I’m not going to let another guy take her from me.
    Jay would do whatever he had to in order to keep her.
He needed to find out who this boss was.

Chapter Two
     
    He hated O’Brian. The bastard was so smug, and thought
he knew what the hell he was doing. Richard stared across the table at the most
irritating man he’d ever done business with.
    Sure, O’Brian’s cosmetics were the best quality, but
now he wanted to expand, and he also wanted to make a ludicrous advertisement
that starred not only actors and actresses, but also both porn stars and real
life people, since his cosmetics reached far and wide. They were so expensive,
though, and only the rich would spend a ridiculous amount on them. Once Richard
had the account, and O’Brian as part of his bigger brand, he’d make sure
everyone would be able to have them.
    Richard didn’t believe in cutting the market in half
so only the wealthy could have what they wanted. He knew what life was like out
on the streets, being dirt poor, and having others look down on you because of
it. That wasn’t going to be the way he worked.
    He glanced over at Temperance, who was sitting at his
right side, making notes. She was always so efficient. He’d made a fool of
himself earlier today with his reaction to her brother. At first he had thought
that she had a boyfriend, and
