The petite woman whimpered on the desk with her eyes closed when Roman pulled out of her and my eyes drifted down, widening at the sight of his cock. My eyes locked with his again, and his eyes pierced mine, narrowing as he took his time removing the condom from his flesh. It finally clicked in me to move, and I hurried out the door, running straight to the bathroom. I quickly locked myself in a stall, catching my breath. What the fuck. I fanned myself from the heat of what I just saw. Watching it on a computer was totally different from real life. The tug I felt in my gut, the urge to want to join them...I gritted my teeth. I couldn't get the image of him out of my mind. He was well endowed.

I stayed in the stall for a few more minutes until I was able to calm my overheated body down and then I exited the small space, walking straight to the mirror. My face was flushed, but I could just blame it on the nerves. He saw me. We locked eyes and he didn't say a word, he just...I shook my head and patted my reddened cheeks. I had to face him after watching him come inside another woman. A shudder went through my body as images of him entering the woman in such a wild manner filled my mind and I gripped the counter to prevent going back into the stall to take care of myself.

After taking in a deep breath, I grabbed my purse and finally left the bathroom, keeping my head high. The PA, Diane, was finally at her desk. My face was neutral as I took in the face of the woman Roman was just fucking. Her hair wasn't out of place, but she did look a bit disheveled, though no one would ever suspect that she was just spreading her legs for a certain man in the office behind her. I wondered if she could even walk properly after what I witnessed. Shaking my head to clear my thoughts, I walked up to the desk.

"Hi," I glanced at the nameplate as if I didn't already know her name. "Diane, I was wondering if Roman Drakos was available? I'm new here and he told me to meet him in his office when I arrived." I gave her a sweet smile, which she returned.

"Of course, let me check his schedule." She typed away at the computer in front of her before looking up at me again, smile still on her face. "His office is around the corner to your left, last door down the hall. Don't bother knocking, just enter since he's expecting you."

I thanked her, giving her a nod as well before walking past her desk, clutching the straps to my purse that I held in my hand, too heavy for my shoulder. My stomach twisted with nerves with every step that I took, and I focused only on walking straight as I made it to his office. I entered the spacious office, bracing for yelling at the invasion of privacy that took place earlier, but he wasn't there. Roman was nowhere in sight, so I was able to take in the place as I set my purse down in one of the chairs. The large mahogany desk in front of me was beautiful and neat, unlike earlier. Bookcases flanked the chair behind the desk, filled completely with books. To the left of the desk across the room, were two doors with no labels as to where they led.

"Did you enjoy the show?" Roman murmured in my ear, making heat immediately pool in my gut from the sensual way the words flowed off his tongue. I swallowed, wetting my lips as his presence disappeared from behind me and he walked around the desk, not a hair out of place. I took in the black suit he wore, the way the top button of the white undershirt was unbuttoned, showing off a little bit of his tan chest. Most of his black hair was pushed out of his face, except for two locks perfectly placed above each brow, curling in toward each other. I kept my face neutral when he looked at me for a response.

"It wasn't much of a show." I shrugged, voice nonchalant. But it was indeed a show and I felt that he could see the truth in my eyes as I sat down in one of the chairs in front of his desk. His brow quirked, and he sat down as well, chuckling at my response.

"Then why did you watch me as I released myself into another woman? I saw the way you looked at me, the want in your eyes. The need. Watching me fuck another woman turned you on, didn't it? I bet you're aroused right now." A wicked smirk grew on his face and my mouth parted at his words, no rebuttal coming out. I had no answer for him. I didn't expect him to be so blunt about the situation. My hands gripped the arms of the chair beneath me tightly and it took everything in me not to cross my legs, hide the evidence of his words. I cleared my throat, squaring my shoulders.

"I'm ready to learn the ropes around here, unless you have another appointment with your dick, in that case, I'll give you some privacy this time." I raised a brow at him as the smirk dropped from his face, eyes narrowing. He slowly rose from his chair, hand sweeping over his desk as he walked around it.

"Careful, Violett." He warned and I stood with him, chin up. I wasn't going to let him intimidate me, especially not after what I saw.

"Lead the way, Mr. Drakos."

Roman showed me the entire building, the names of the important people, and even created a badge for me before work even began. He was professional throughout it all, which surprised me. Once I was more familiar with the building and the protocols than I was before, he led me to an office. The name on the door read Lisa Monroe, CMO. The woman I was going to be working under for however long they deemed necessary. Roman knocked on the door and we waited for a few seconds before the door opened. A red-headed woman with bright green eyes stood there, an annoyed look gracing her beautiful features. She was a few inches shorter than me and only stared at Roman.

"Why are you disturbing me, Drakos?" she asked, narrowing her eyes. I lifted a brow at the informality. My brother called him by his last name as well.

"I'm here with your shadow. Remember I told you that you would help show her the ropes and teach her your ways, see if she'll be a good fit for the open position?" Roman reminded her and that was when she finally looked at me, giving me a once over. Her eyes stopped at my chest, and it made me rethink the dress I was wearing. I did have a good bit of cleavage out, but not too much to be unprofessional. Her eyes met mine and she hmphed after a few seconds of staring.

"What's your name?" she asked me, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Violett Moore," I answered, holding my hand out for her to shake. Even if she wasn't going to bother being pleasant, I still needed to put my best foot forward. She held the keys to my future. She glanced at my hand, then back at Roman. He inclined his head so subtly, I almost missed it. Her jaw ticked as she clenched her teeth and she finally dropped her arms, hand reaching out and gripped mine.

"Nice to meet you, Violett. Call me Lisa. I'll tell you this once. Working with me won't be easy. I will go hard on you but don't take it personally, it's my way of molding you into the best you can be. There will be long days, and even longer nights. You might even have to sleep here sometimes. Is that something you can handle?" she asked me, narrowing her eyes as she waited for my answer. I didn't hesitate.

"I can handle anything you throw at me." Was my simple response and she nodded her head, the corners of her mouth twitching, a hint of a smile.

"We'll see about that. Your work starts now. I need all the files for a deal that was made a while ago from the file room. Find it for me." She reached behind her and turned back around with a pen and a pad of paper. She wrote on it before handing the pad over to me. It had all the information I needed on it, including the floor number for the file room. My first task was running errands?

"It's the twenty-first century. Shouldn't all of the files be computerized by now?" I asked, not seeing why I would waste my time with this task when it would be faster on a computer. Lisa's eyes narrowed again, and she clicked her tongue.

"Congrats Violett for pissing me off on your first day already. Looks like you'll be running for files for me all day today. Run that mouth of yours again, and I'll have Roman fire you without question." She went back into her office, slamming the door shut. I stood there with my mouth opened and glanced up at Roman, who was looking down at me with a straight face, but humor swirled in those blue eyes of his.

"You heard her. Good luck." He patted my back before leaving me standing alone in front of Lisa's office. I rolled my eyes as I looked at the notepad. Here goes nothing.
