Just A Man (The Porter Trilogy Book 1)

Bracks coughed, dragging me back to the here and now, waiting to see why I had summoned him to my office. I dragged a hand through my hair and willed myself to focus on right now, not two weeks ago. I looked up at Bracks, his expression softening subtly. He knew I was in agony but thankfully never brought it up.
“Have you heard anything?” I asked. I didn’t need to elaborate. I had asked him the same question everyday for nearly two weeks.
“Not yet boss. I have people hacking and monitoring the entire internet, just waiting for her to send an email, buy something off of a website, or post a status on social media.”
I nodded my head in thanks at him. I needed some sort of connection with her and was stooping to waiting for a tweet from my fiery haired daydreaming Charlotte. I felt desperate with want and need for her and nothing I could do would put out the urge to run to her and hold her in my arms while I apologized through grunts of sexual pleasure.
Bracks stood up to leave, but I was oblivious to anything around me as my erection grew heavy in my boxers, tenting my pants and threatening to spill like a lovesick schoolboy. I just needed a scrap of information to keep me complacent for now or else I was going to go out of my mind and no one had better be in my way when it happened.
TREATMENT
For Charlotte Ann-Marie Hightower, living with her best friend, applying for a Personal Assistant job at Alex Porter Industries, and enjoying all that Southern California had to offer was enough to scab over the tragic truth of her past. Little did she know that Alex Porter, a sexy billionaire entrepreneur, would turn everything on its axis.
Alex comes with his own past of tragic regret that often causes his desire for complete control in all areas of his life. However, with one look from the fiery haired daydreamer, everything changed for him too.
Now, Charlotte finds herself facing the deepest, darkest aspects of her past, while Alex refuses to do the same. The question becomes, can they save each other from a past that quickly becomes their present?
