Chapter 1: The New Hire
Olivia Bennett was thrilled to start her new job at Sterling Enterprises, a prestigious firm with a reputation for excellence. Fresh out of college, she was eager to prove herself. But nothing could have prepared her for her boss, Alexander Sterling-a man whose presence commanded every room he entered.
Alexander was the epitome of power and control. Tall, dark, and impossibly handsome, he had a mysterious aura that intrigued and intimidated everyone around him. His eyes, a piercing shade of gray, seemed to see through everything and everyone, including Olivia. The moment she met him, she felt a spark of something she couldn't quite define-a mix of fear, curiosity, and undeniable attraction.
From the very beginning, Alexander was cold and distant, rarely offering more than a curt nod or a few clipped words. Olivia found herself working late hours, trying to meet his impossibly high standards. But despite his harsh demeanor, she couldn't help but feel drawn to him. There was something about the way he carried himself, the way he looked at her, that left her feeling unsettled and intrigued.
One night, as Olivia was finishing up some reports, Alexander appeared in her office. The tension in the air was palpable as he approached her desk, his gaze intense.
"You're still here," he remarked, his voice smooth yet commanding.
Olivia looked up, her heart pounding. "Just finishing some work, Mr. Sterling."
He stepped closer, his presence overwhelming. "You've been doing well, Olivia. But there's more to success here than just hard work."
Olivia swallowed, feeling a shiver run down her spine. His words were cryptic, and his tone suggested something more than just professional advice.

After Hours
"So you just found me hot? Is that why you were so tense?" "Fucking yes." He tugged you closer. Lips hovering over the shell of your ear, a shudder worked its way along your flesh. "Do you have any idea how uncomfortable it is to walk around with a hard on? Right next to your boss? How many times do I have to repeat myself?" His hands roughly collided with your cheeks, bringing your lower body flush against his. You lightly pushed him away, then took him by the collar. "As many times as I want to, mister Ackerman. Because I'm the boss." Something scorching lit up inside his gaze. An expert roll of his hips sent your head back in unexpected pleasure, and his fingers took hold of your chin. "Let's make one thing clear, sweetheart. You may be the boss during the day, but after hours, I'm in charge." His voice coated in thick lust made a knot deliciously twist inside of you. You needed him. "I wouldn't dare to... sir." Shoulders straightening, his hands stopped their exploring along your curves. Something dangerous pooled inside Levi's gaze. Yet you were more than happy to confront it. I always update on Ao3 first under the same username :) Hope you enjoy!

Married To My Bully
I felt as if someone had dropped a boulder on my fragile heart. He peppered kisses on her neck and she giggled in response. Right in front of my eyes. I clenched my fist. Their proximity suffocated me. I couldn't breathe. Jealousy and agony gave way to pure rage and without thinking, I jerked the woman out of his hold and pushed her away. "What the hell," she glared at me and I glared back at her before turning my gaze on Alex. "Who is she? And why is she here?" I asked him and could hear my voice shaking because of the enormous rage I was feeling in that moment. I wanted to kill him along with her. He scanned my expression for a moment and then flicked his gaze away as if I don't even exist. "Let's get you to my room," he was about to grab her hand when I grabbed his. I turned to face the woman and gave her a death glare, "Leave." "What," She flicked her gaze on Alex who looked as taken aback as her. I was overly tempted to pluck her eyes out for looking at him. "Eyes here. I am his wife and the lady of this house. And I want you gone. Leave," I gritted out. Completely forgotten that I was going to leave this house tonight. "Only in the paper. And I am the owner of this house," he hissed in my face in a warning tone and then looked at the woman. "Go to my room, Selena," he told her in a stern tone. He was annoyed not by her but by me. I could feel his temper rising, but it was nowhere near mine. My heart shattered in million pieces when he said that. A drop of tear rolled down my cheek as I saw the woman taking the stairs from my peripheral view. My eyes were fixed on Alex who had his jaw set and eyes glaring fire.Complete
