“Are you asking…do you want me to be your girlfriend?” she says in surprise.

I grin. “Sorry, it’s been a long, long time—I don’t know the correct way to ask. I want you to be mine. To belong to me. To letme spoil you and make you smile. I don’t want another man near you. I don’t want to share you.”

She giggles.

“Yes,” she says.

“So, you’re mine now?” I say, pushing the coat off her body and running my hands over her waist.

“I’m yours,” she whispers, then bites her lower lip and causes my brain to melt all over again.

Chapter 14 - Serafina

Two weeks.

Two weeks of absolute heaven.

It’s been two weeks since he asked me to be his girlfriend, which I thought was the most romantic thing ever. The way he got a little nervous and didn’t know how to word it properly—I haven’t stopped smiling.

We’re dating in secret, though, because we work together, and we both know it will cause a lot of drama in the office; we discussed it and decided it's going to make our lives a lot easier if we just keep it between ourselves.

And I don’t care if anyone knows or not, anyway—the bottom line is that I am happier than I have ever been in my entire life.

The last two weeks of my life have been by far the best.

Nico treats me like a queen. He makes me feel like I’m the most beautiful, special girl in the universe. And the things he does to my body—things I didn’tknowwere athinguntil he showed me. I’d let that man do anything he wanted to me. I trust him without limits, and he’s proven over and over again that he will take care of me and be gentle, even when we’re playing a little rough.

I grin, pressing my finger against the elevator on the ground floor.

It’s very early, and the office is still empty and quiet. I came in before everyone else, hoping to get a head start on everything.

I had planned to make dinner with Nico tonight, but as I was leaving the office yesterday, I realized that with the amount of work I have to get through, we’d both be working late instead.

So, I’m here before the world wakes up so that I can tackle all of it and we can still leave at a normal time and have the evening free.

The elevator slides open on the top floor, and I go straight into my office to put my things down. Nico doesn’t know I’m here. I giggle to myself. It’s a good thing. He would have come in early, too, and then we wouldn’t have managed to get any work done. He’s so distracting.

Gathering the files I want to complete, I find my thoughts lost on him again. Always lost on him.

I can’t believe how lucky I am.

He could have chosen any girl in the entire world. He could have snapped his fingers, and without question, whoever he was interested in would have fallen instantly in love with him.

He’s impossible not to love. And impossibly sexy.

And impossibly perfect.

I laugh again.

Gosh, I have to stop daydreaming about him and focus. Otherwise, coming in early is going to be a pointless mission.

The silver on my watch flashes as I tilt it towards me.

Five-thirty. Still dark outside.

I can get so much done if I lock down and focus.

It’s nearing the financial year's end, and the work I need to do is heavy and draining because it requires my full attention. But I love a good spreadsheet, so that makes it more fun.
