“Okay, well, let’s do that for the next month. You can woo me. Then I’ll come back to yours again.”

Daniel was speechless. Was he for real?

“You want to wait for a month?”

Josh nodded. Daniel was watching him closely, to see if there was any sign of a smirk.

“Is the term negotiable?”

Josh laughed and shrugged.

“One week, two dates.”

“Three weeks. Six dates.”

“Two weeks. Five dates.”

“Deal,” said Josh, shaking his hand.

Daniel yanked him forward, so he practically slid over thetable and into his lap. He pulled Josh into a searing kiss, his tongue demanding immediate entrance, then he pulled back for a second and looked him in the eyes.

“There are no limitations on kissing, are there?”

“No. You’ll just have to keep that python under wraps for two weeks.”

Daniel was still hard, so he ground against Josh. Two weeks before he could be inside him again would be torture, but he’d do it. If this was what Josh needed to be sure Daniel was serious about him, he’d do anything he asked.

CHAPTER 9

JOSH

It had been the longest three weeks of his life.

Their first weekend together had not given Josh a good example of what it would be like to date the managing partner of one of the city’s top law firms. Daniel worked a lot. In two weeks, they’d gotten four dates in, and they’d all been wonderful. Once Daniel was with you, you had his complete attention. It was just hard getting time with him during the week.

Claudette was Josh’s new BFF. She guarded Daniel like a rottweiler, similar to how he protected Oscar– well, his diary at least. However, Claudette had developed a soft spot for Josh, and would let him know when Daniel had a window in his diary for “focus time,” which was code for Josh popping into the office for a quick snogging session.

Josh had tried to bring lunch over, and once an afternoon tea from Fortnum and Mason, then pitch it was a date. Daniel wasn’t having it, though. He’d promised Josh dates that would impress him, without being extravagant. Josh had wanted dates which had thought put into them, rather than just money. Why had he suggested that? He’d been taking very long showers to give himself some relief, because heonly had to see a text from Daniel and he was hard. Whenever they had one of their kissing sessions, Josh could feel Daniel’s third leg pressed against him. How did the guy have so much restraint?

It was Friday, and tonight was the night. They were going out on their fifth date, and Josh had a weekend bag packed. He had one mission, and that was to hobble out of Daniel’s bed on Monday morning after being fucked into the mattress as many times as possible. The thought was making him hard, and he still had a day of work to get through.

“Josh, have you got a minute?” said Oscar, standing in front of his desk.

“Of course.”

“Bring your notebook,” he said, before walking into his office.

Josh had to readjust himself before he grabbed his electronic notebook. Oscar was a paper and pen guy, and refused to go digital with some things, like to-do lists. Considering the guy wasn’t even thirty yet, it was baffling. Josh had worked him up to a shared One Note, but he had to constantly remind him to update it. Perhaps he could get Oscar to embrace technology more before he left. It would give his replacement a fighting chance.

The job market was tricky at the moment. He needed to stay in financial services, given that’s where the money was, but he had two problems. The first being that Oscar was paying him at the level of someone who had ten years’ more experience. That was just who Oscar was. He paid you your worth. The market felt differently, and CEO assistant roles weren’t common. Many CEOs took their assistants with them when they moved around. Josh was looking at C-suite, and was looking at a minimum of fifty grand. It would be a pay cut, but he could make it work with the money from Gavin. In a perfect world, he would walk out of here and straight into another job. That way, he could use the extra money tomake the lifestyle changes he wanted and wipe the slate clean.

“Are you still leaving?” asked Oscar.

Josh smiled. Oscar asked this question every few days, and would no doubt continue asking. He hadn’t started looking for a replacement, but he needed to. Oscar worked in a ball of chaos, and he needed someone by his side to make sense of it all, so he could focus on running the business.

“Yes. You need to start looking for my replacement.”

“No. I need to kick Daniel up the arse. He told me he’d fix this.”
