Jesus Christ I should have gotten a different lawyer. Not the best time to be thinking this as I sit in the waiting room of Wagner Easton. I probably should have just canceled the appointment when I was on the website and saw her photo. And definitely should have canceled it once I sufficiently stalked her online. To distract myself, I look around the swan...
Chapter One This is exactly why I prefer working with men. Which I know makes me sound like a female misogynist. But sitting in a room for hours on end while her perfume hits me like a wave every time I move an inch, is increasingly challenging at this hour. We've been at this since yesterday morning. I have no power against the stale cookies left on the t...
Chapter 5 I'm so disoriented that it's not until I'm in the parking garage of Altitude's building when I remember that I didn't drive today, and I don't have any of my stuff from upstairs. I probably should have taken a breath and thought things through, but I just had to get out of the office. Not even Jackie's confused questions stopped me or the handful...
Chapter 13 Time seems to stand still for a minute as we all just stand there awkwardly. My heartbeat is so fast, I can feel it ramming itself against my chest. I know I should be the first to speak but I feel paralyzed between Jackie's glare and the woman standing behind me. The sight of Jackie's face moving from angry to crushed causes a wave of guilt to...
Chapter 3 It's usually pretty easy to tell how a pitch is going once you start. Sometimes you know how it's going to go just based on how the clients greet you and what room they put you in. If they've come into the meeting with a preexisting idea of their agency of choice, the pitch doesn't even really matter. And that can be really fucking maddening. Thi...
"So," Quinn said as she settled into the backseat of the cab with Mikey, yawning widely as she did so. "Tell me what you know about Alex Anders". Quinn stayed up way later than she should, but she couldn't stop thinking about Alex. Images of the woman gliding across the stage so effortlessly as Blanche, stealing every scene she was in with her expressive fa...
Chapter 10 Alex should have canceled. That's what she told herself over and over this weekend. Going to lunch with this woman was all but sealing her fate. She knew that. But Quinn's words from her office were stuck on repeat in her mind no matter what she did. No sense of logic could keep her from this lunch. And that kiss. She had never had a kiss like...
Chapter 7 "So not only is she ridiculously pretty and rich, she's also Captain Planet," I say as I sink down into my office chair. "If Captain Planet was in the business of servers and data centers," Jackie says back dryly as she takes the seat across from me. "I guess I was hoping the product might be some evil artificial intelligence that was going to s...
Chapter 14 If there was one thing Alex would never tire of, it was the energy spilling into every facet of the theater on an opening night. Nights like these made her forget that so many of her days in the office blended together into the mundane. The week before opening night was always a nightmare with fire drill after fire drill. There was always so...
Author's Note: This story is a lesbian romance and is a much slower burn than my other stories. There will be sex, but not right away. If you're looking for immediate gratification, stick to my other works. I hope you enjoy! Chapter One There was a sudden burst of laughter from the theater. Even from within the privacy of her office, Alex could hear the f...
