Page 30 of The Boss Situation

Cum shoots out in thick white ropes as I picture it spilling across that scowl of hers.

She’s a mess—my mess—and for once, she doesn’t have a single smart-ass thing to say.

I brace myself against the shower wall, my chest heaving as I come down from the high. I gasp for air as the intensity rushes through me. Thoughts of her nearly smother me.

Fuck you, Billie Calloway. Get out of my goddamn head.

She’s poison in my veins, and I hate her for it.

BILLIE

Paparazzi meet me on Banks’s stoop like someone called and told them I was inside.

“Fuck,” I whisper, temporarily blinded by the flashes as I take the steps to the sidewalk.

I hold up my hand, blocking my face as I walk past them. Pictures of me leaving his house are the last thing I need circulating, especially if he’s working with Josh. I shake my head, pissed.

“Is it true you’re dating Asher Banks?”

“Absolutely not,” I state.

“But you went home with him?”

“You’re aware of what assuming does?” I glare at the guy, and I think he shivers.

I roll my eyes, then walk away, realizing I should’ve never spoken. Tomorrow, a video of me saying that will be splashed across social media.

I pick up my pace, thankful I only live two blocks away. I didn’t realize he was staying there again. Last I heard, he lived in his Upper West Side penthouse, but that was a few years ago. I don’tkeep up with him because I genuinely don’t care. The farther he is from me, the better.

I’m sure he won’t stay in this part of the city much longer. He usually avoids me as much as I avoid him. Although that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore.

On my walk home, I text Harper, angrier and drunker than I imagined I’d be.

Billie

That was a mistake. He kicked me out of his townhouse. Paps were outside, waiting. What if that gets posted? Rumors are the last thing I need.

Harper

Wait. Back up. You went home with Asher?

Billie

Not because he invited me. I forced myself into his car.

Harper

OMG. Did you burst into his house too?

Billie

I pounded on his door, and he opened it.

Harper

Like an obsessive ex?
