Little did she know that the email she sent was never delivered. Not to him anyway. It was sitting in my private inbox, just waiting for me to watch more closely.

“Do you need anything else this evening?” she asked sweetly.

“No, that will be all for now.” Turning back to Anya, I dismissed Lily without even a second look. The only reason I knew she had gone was because Anya started giggling.

“What?” I snapped.

“So that’s the problem in the office, hey?” Anya giggled even louder. Drawing my attention to her.

“I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about. Lily is a temp. She is—”

Anya’s face sobered. “Oh, come on, Daniil. I’m young, not stupid. The way you looked at her.” She fanned herself theatrically. “It was like you were undressing her with your eyes and imagining her naked. You know I wouldn’t mind if you wanted to go after her. Today might be my birthday, but it’s also the night of love.“

My frown deepened. I didn’t need to imagine Lily naked because I had seen her spread out only a few hours ago, and it was an image that was ingrained in my mind.

“You’re allowed to be happy, Daniil,” Anya said again, with more wisdom in her voice than anyone her age should have.

But I guessed that’s what happens when you lose someone you love at an early age. Grief makes you grow up quickly.

“She’s pretty and seems sweet.”

My eyebrows shot up. I guessed Lily did seem sweet when you looked at her. But I knew the truth. There was nothing sweet about that fiery-headed fox. All the prim and proper goodness was just an act. I’d had a little glimpse of the woman she was underneath.

“Shes no one.”

Anya rolled her eyes. “Fine, have it your own way. But you can’t stay alone all your life. You need—”

“I said enough, Anya,” I snapped at her. “We are not discussing my personal life. It’s not something you should even know about. You are—”

“Twenty-one and not—”

I threw a hand up to silence her. “Do not finish that sentence. I do not want to know. And drop this sudden fascination with setting me up, as well. There is no one I’m interested in who could ever take Claudia’s place.”

Sadness flickered across her face for a second, but she nodded. “I know, and I promise I won’t bring it up again. I just wanted you to know that—”

My glare caused her lips to smack shut. I loved Anya, but sometimes she just didn’t know when to quit.

“No, let’s try to enjoy the rest of your meal. I do have some business to deal with tonight.”

“You work too hard, Daniil.”

Usually, I would agree with her, but tonight the business I had to take care of was more pleasurable. I wanted to watch Lily’s video closely, wrap my hand around my cock, and cum to the sight of her fingers dipping into herself.

And when I was done, I would decide what I would do to punish Miss Ridgeway for her little indiscretion in my chair.

A smile curved up on my face as I mulled over all the ways I could punish her that would make us both happy. It was a grin that Anya saw instantly. She threw me a new look and sipped another wine.

“But I guess some jobs are more pleasurable than others.”

I couldn’t help it. I grinned. She was damn right about that.

Chapter Three

Daniil

Through the glass of my corner office, I watched as Lily moved around the office, a smile plastered to her face that didn’t reach her eyes. It was like she was just going through the motions, but no one was home. Her face was emotionless behind that smile. It stood out in stark contrast to the agonized bliss on her face when she had touched herself for me.

Not for me. I had to keep reminding myself. She hadn’t even known I was there. That little show last night had been for someone else’s benefit.
