Free An Office Love Affair (BBW Contemporary Billionaire Romance) by Ava May Page B

would need to have an income of my own.
    My idea was that since Josh did not know about my job that I was going to open my own bank account with my first pay check and save everything I could. I could not allow him to catch me off guard if he decided to leave.
    While Josh ate his breakfast, I went back upstairs, took a shower and got ready for my first day at work. I had no idea what was in store for me, but I could feel the excitement in my veins.
    As soon as Josh headed out for work I went back downstairs and made myself some breakfast, cleaned up and headed out the door. My heart was pounding when I finally got to the office. I had no idea why until I saw Alan.
    It had been years since I had felt it, but suddenly my heart fluttered and I could feel butterflies in my stomach. He was dressed perfectly with a dark suit and a dark blue tie that made his blue eyes pop.
    When he smiled at me, I could not help but notice how beautiful his smile was. He opened the door for me and led me into his office.
    “You’ll be working with me most of the time. Nothing that I am going to have you do is too difficult just things that I do not have time for,” he said as he walked over to a desk in the corner, “I had this set up for you last night. I hope it is to your liking, I know you would probably rather have an office of your own but I need you with me at all times.”
    He had a way of making you feel important, even if there was no reason for it. I looked at my desk and was ecstatic. I had never had a desk of my own. In fact, I had never had a place to call my own and I could not have been more excited.
    “It is wonderful,” I said, looking up at Alan.
    “Well, before we get started with work, I think we need to get to know each other a little bit,” he said looking down at me with a smile.
    I swore that I saw lust in his eyes and had to look down at the floor because it embarrassed me.
    “Tell me about yourself,” he said, noticing that I was blushing, “Are you married? Children?”
    That was not a topic that I wanted to talk about, but he asked and I felt compelled to be honest with him. I told him how I was married and our relationship was strained due to me gaining weight. I told him about wanting to have a job so that I would finally have something to feel good about and so that I would have an income if Josh decided to leave me.
    When I finished spilling my guts, I felt like an idiot and regretted telling him anything but when I looked into his eyes I could see nothing but sadness.
    “You should not feel that way,” he began stepping closer to me, “There are men out there, men like myself who would love to come home to a woman like you.”
    “Men like yourself,” I said, laughing, “I am sure a man like you could have any woman that he wanted.”
    Alan reached out and put his hands on my waist. “I’m going to tell you something that most people don’t know about me,” he said, “I don’t really need anyone to come in here and help me. I can get the job done without a problem, but I am tired of coming into this office all day and then going home alone. I just needed someone to keep me company.”
    I could feel my heart pounding all the way up into my throat, “Then I’m your girl,” I said struggling to get the words out. I could not deny that I was attracted to this man and I was loving the feeling of his hands on my waist so much so that I could feel the moisture building between my thighs.
    Alan pulled me closer, “It sounds like you are tired of being alone too,” he said. I knew that he was right. If I was honest with myself the real reason that I wanted to get a job was because I was tired of spending my days and my nights alone.
    I was tired of being ignored by my husband and I was tired of feeling as if I was no longer a woman and I was no longer attractive. “You’re right,” I said my breath catching.
    Alan did not waste any time, he placed both of his hands on my face and kissed me as if
