Office Heat

When an innocent girl moved in next-door, all I had to do was peel my eyes away from her.

Instead, I hired her as an employee.

Stella was 16 years younger, and my neighbor.

I seemed to forget that at every company meeting when her smooth legs would distract me.

I’ve been hurt in the past and relationships are not for me.

And yet, I’m risking my friendship with Stella’s dad and going behind his back.

Being with her means risking my reputation and everything else I value.

But the innocent gaze in her eyes has me wanting more each day.

Even if it leads to a secret that could destroy me.

…and be my salvation at the same time.
