"Quick, kiss me."
I choked on my baguette as I looked up at my boss, his intense grey eyes burning into me as my jaw fell open with a mouthful of chocolate baguette.
"What?" I snapped, was it just me or did my boss suddenly lose his mind? One minute he was talking about rescheduling the meeting booked at two and then he said kiss me, maybe he said something else, maybe it was miss, bliss, piss?
But all the thoughts in my head were swiped away as he stood up from his chair, his tall frame hovering over me before he grabbed my arm so roughly the baguette I was holding fell out of my grip and he pulled me upwards, and the man I have worked for three years and never touched suddenly was pressed against my chest as his lips met mine.
And the piece of baguette in my mouth only made me choke further.

"Along with that we will be divorced in 5 years! It's simple!" He just smirks at me while I'm chewing on my pen looking things over. "So, we are getting married because our two companies need to become stronger? And the only way to do that is by our parents forcing us to get married?" He just nods. I shake my head in disbelief.
I don't even know where to start. I mean, I can't believe my parents are forcing me to marry the billionaire player! Everyone knows River Thornes is the billionaire player. But yet, my parents are forcing me to marry him so our companies become larger and more powerful. I thought my feelings were a part of who I decide to marry? But apparently my parents had this planned out with River's parents since we were 2. What a sad world we live in.
"River?" I ask. He turns his body towards me with his eyebrows raised.
"Yes?" He asks sliding his hands through his dark black hair. It's a nice jet black. It's the kind of hair that's makes a girls heart flutter once you look at it.
"Will you cheat on me during the time were married?" I play with my fingers as I look down at the ground.
He walks over and unfolds my hands raising my chin. "Ems, were both stuck in this together. We don't have a choice." He walks away shutting the door leaving me paused in the moment. What just happened? Will he stay true to me?
