Boss Me Forever: Older Man/Younger Woman Workplace Romance

by Cameron Hart

“Um, well, you never really told me what happened with the board… I got kind of distracted.”

  This makes him open his eyes and smirk at me before kissing me deeply. “For the record, I plan on distracting you a lot, little hummingbird.”

  He leans in for another kiss, but I swat him away. Declan pouts, which might be the most adorable thing in the world, but I hold strong. He sighs and sits up a bit, leaning on the headboard. I sit up with him, and he tucks me into his side.

  “Well,” he starts. “Not that I give a fuck what the board thinks, but they said they like the image of the new CEO being a family man, settling down and all of that. I still have a position in the company, and you do too, if you want it. But you can do anything you want, Luna. Go back to school, get another job, stay home and have ten children…”

  “Ten?!”

  He chuckles and kisses my temple. “We can start with one.”

  “I think I can manage that,” I say right before yawning.

  Declan kisses the tip of my nose and wraps me up in his arms as we sink back into the bed.

  “Thanks for taking care of me,” I whisper as I snuggle deeper into his embrace.

  “Always, my little hummingbird. Always.”

  Epilogue

  Declan

  I twirl my brand-new wife in my arms and get lost in her brilliant smile. I swear she’s glowing. If you told me eight months ago I’d be dancing with my assistant at our wedding in a room full of pink glitter, I’d have laughed and told you to get the fuck out of my face.

  But now… well, now I can’t imagine my life any other way. Luna and Lucas moved in with me the day after I proposed. I handed Luna my credit card and told her to redecorate the place.

  I assumed she’d go with rainbow colors and sequins, but she stuck with more neutral colors. Well, neutral for Luna. Yellow and grey, with a few accents in teal. And there are some sequin pillows, but she confined them to our room. Not that I would care one way or the other if she had the walls painted with pink glitter as long as I have her with me, in my space, all the time.

  I’ve always been protective and a little obsessive with Luna, but I thought after we said our vows and signed our license, I might ease up a bit. The opposite is happening, however.

  Holding Luna close, I have the overwhelming urge to tuck her into my side and usher her out of here so I can lock her up in our room and worship her sexy little body. I also want to hold her and rub her back and wrap her up in a soft blanket. Every possessive instinct inside of me is going into overdrive, and I can’t seem to help it.

  “Hey, are you ok?” Luna asks, her sweet voice filtering in and breaking up my thoughts.

  “Yeah. Yeah. I just… I feel insane right now with this need to keep you safe.”

  “You already do that,” she smiles up at me so sweetly.

  “I know, I can’t explain it. Something lately has just made me crazy possessive.”

  Luna grins and looks like she’s about to burst with happiness. “Could it maybe be because you’re going to be a daddy in about eight months?”

  Her words slam into my chest and squeeze my heart until it stops completely. And then it beats in overtime, knowing its only job now is to provide and protect my family.

  I drop to my knees in front of her and kiss her belly over her beautiful (sparkling) dress. I’m still at a loss for words as a sense of deep joy overtakes me. Luna reaches down and cups my face, wiping away tears I didn’t know were there.

  Standing, I sweep her up into my arms and kiss her soundly, hoping to convey all of my scattered emotions. When I pull back, she’s got that radiant smile on her lips, her eyes shining with tears of her own.

  “Are you happy?” She asks.

  I swallow around the lump in my throat. “Happier than I ever thought I’d be, hummingbird. God, I love you so much. You and our little one.”

  “We love you too,” she whispers before kissing me again.

  “Do you think anyone would notice if we snuck out right now?” I ask, only half joking. “I want to make love to the mother of my child, my wife, my love.”

  Luna blushes and bites that damn lip of hers, which doesn’t help my cock already lengthening and hardening in my pants. I hold her close, letting her feel my need.

  “Declan!” She whisper-yells, making me chuckle. “We haven’t even cut the cake yet!”

  “People can cut their own cake,” I mumble while nuzzling the side of her neck. God, her citrus scent is overwhelming me and I want nothing more than to lick it off of her.

  She swats me away, making me growl softly. Luna puts her hands on her hips and looks adorably indignant.

  “This cake is one-of-a-kind, from that little bakery I told you about. Plus, you know how serious I am about my sugar intake. And now that I’m eating for two…”

  I can’t help but kiss her again. She melts against me, but then pulls away.

  “Fine, one piece of cake and then you’re mine,” I compromise.

  “I’m already yours, sir,” she purrs.

  “Fuck, you’re not helping, you little minx.”

  Luna just laughs and drags me along towards the cake table while I try to discretely adjust myself.

  I catch sight of Cooper standing by the cake table and staring off towards the back door, a stupid happy grin on his face.

  “What’s going on with you?” I ask once we reach the table.

  “I just met my future wife,” he says, still in a daze.

  “Really?!” Luna says excitedly. “How romantic! Who is she?”

  “I have no fucking clue, but I’ll find out by the end of the week.”

  I clap him on the shoulder and grin. I never believed in love at first sight, but that was before I met my little Luna. I think I knew that first time she stepped into my office that I loved her, but it took me too damn long to figure it out. I’m happy that Cooper doesn’t seem to have the same reservations that I did.

  “Lulu!” Lucas calls out as he heads our way. “It’s about damn time you got to the cake. I’m starving!”

  “Uh-huh,” she rolls her eyes. “Was the steak dinner not enough for you?”

  He shrugs. “What can I say? I’m a growing boy. And I have a big paper due on Monday, so I need the extra energy.” Lucas grins, and Luna tries for all of two seconds to hide her smile. She’s so proud of him, and I am too.

  Lucas finished the last round of his treatment a few months ago, and he’s been cancer free ever since. He was able to finish up his high school credits early thanks to doing them online, and both he and Luna enrolled in college classes last month. We offered for Lucas to stay with us, but he wanted to have the full college experience and live in the dorms.

  I lean down and kiss Luna’s neck. “The faster we cut the cake, the faster I can get you out of here bury myself in that sweet little pussy of yours,” I whisper into her ear.

  She blushes bright red and then grins at me.

  “I do not want to know what you just said, but I think it’s time you kids cut the cake and get out of here,” Lucas says.

  “Couldn’t agree more,” I tell him.

  Luna rolls her eyes again, but smiles at me, her eyes soft and bright. God, she’s beautiful.

  We cut the cake and I feed Luna her first bite, careful not to mess up her makeup or ruin her dress. Luna, on the other hand, smashes cake all over my face and giggles. I lean in and rub my frosting-covered nose all over her face, making her giggle even more.

  “You’re going to pay for that, baby girl,” I growl into her neck where I’m trailing more frosting over her skin. “I’m thinking a nice hard spanking might be the first thing we do when we get to our room.”

  “Mmm… And here I was thinking maybe we could bring some cake up to the room and find some creative ways to use the frosting…”

  “Fuck, you’re asking for it, dirty girl. You want me to tie your hands behind your back while you lick frosting off of my—”

  “Declan!” She whispers, her eyes wi
de in disbelief. I just grin at her and lick the frosting off of her neck.

  “Time’s up, sweetheart. Gotta get you naked and in bed as soon as fucking possible.”

  “You’re so bossy,” she replies, smiling at me the whole time.

  “I think you like it,” I counter.

  “Maybe we need to test that theory a few more times…”

  I kiss her then, tasting her sugary lips and sweet submission. She’s so damn perfect, and all mine. Forever.
