Never Trust a Bad Boy (2 page)

Graduation Day

I spend some extra time on my hair and make-up knowing that everyone in my class, including Josh, will be looking at me while I give my speech. I check my phone expecting a message from him, but there isn’t anything. Before I can start worrying, my mom calls up to me that it’s time to go.

I give my speech and get a standing ovation. My mom cries, and my dad is beaming with pride. Josh’s seat is empty. He didn’t even show up to collect his diploma.

Asking his friends where he is means risking them making fun of me, but I chance it. Not one of them has heard from him since last night. I check my phone constantly for messages while I eat lunch at my favorite restaurant with my parents.

When we get home, I try to call him. His cell goes straight to voicemail. I decide to leave a message and hope for the best. He never calls back. I look at my phone every few minutes for days until I finally get pissed.

He was just using me to get off before he left. Everything he said that night was a lie, and I’m an idiot. I fell for his stupid crap completely. It will never happen again.

I’m going to college in the fall, and Zoe Miller is going to focus all of her attention on school. I swear that I’ll never give him another thought. I won’t let him take up one more second of my time. I won’t even dream about him.

Except I do. Every damn night. I don’t think any man will ever make me feel the way Josh Allen did again.

Chapter 4

Josh

Eight Years Later

Things are good for me. I’m still in my first year of practicing law, but I own my firm, and I make the rules. That’s the way I like it. Whenever I’m in charge, the world works exactly the way I want it to work. I’ve got cars, money, and all the women I could ever want.

Annabel, my secretary, walks into my office to let me know the new hire is here to meet me. She looks fucking sexy in her short black skirt with her blouse unbuttoned one button too low. I call her over to my desk and run my hand over her breast while she adjusts my tie. When she walks away, I smack her ass hard. Annabel likes a good spanking before a fuck, and I know that from personal experience.

I don’t like to meet the new hires in my office. It’s better to make the introductions on neutral ground, since I probably don’t look like what they’re expecting. You can’t see any of my tattoos when I’m dressed for work, but my tan skin and beard make me look like a biker dressed up as a business man. Which I guess is pretty accurate. I love to ride, and I like my beard. Anybody who thinks it’s inappropriate can shove it up their ass.

The conference room is down the hall from my office, so I make my way there since I’m already ten minutes late. When I walk into the room, the new hire is standing at the window looking out. She looks sexy as hell from the back, and I decide to give whoever hired her a raise. Her ass makes me want to take a bite, and she’s got legs for days. I start to imagine those legs wrapped around my waist, but when she turns around, I feel the color drain from my face.

If I had bothered to look at any of her paperwork to get ready for this meeting, I would have known the new hire is Zoe Miller. Memories of the last night I saw her come flooding back into my mind, and my cock reacts by getting rock hard. I’m at a loss, and that never happens to me. Well, not anymore. I won’t let it happen this time either.

“Hey Patty Prude. Well, I guess you’re not all that much of a prude, now are you.” I say and wink at her.

I see her rub her legs together, and I know she’s having the same reaction to seeing me. I close the distance between us and lean in to whisper in her ear. God damn she smells good, but I have to keep it together.

“Hey gorgeous. I can tell you still want me by the way you’re rubbing those gorgeous thighs together. I wouldn’t mind having them wrapped around my ears again.” I say and take a step back so I can fully enjoy the blush spreading across her cheeks.

She wants me bad, so I do the only thing I can. I turn around and leave the room without another word.

Chapter Five

Zoe

This job is going to be a total nightmare. I was so nervous about seeing him again. I changed my outfit ten times, and stopped at the salon this morning to have my hair professionally done. I knew I shouldn’t have taken a job at his firm, but one of his partners recruited me out of law school and the money was too good to turn down. I was terrified that if I turned them down, they’d black list me. No other firm would want to touch me if Allen and Associates put out the word that I’m un-hireable.

I felt like I had to take the job, and now I felt trapped. If Josh was a bad boy in high school, he is an even badder boy now. Fuck. I want him so bad. Why do I have to want him so badly? If he didn’t get to me the way he does, I could walk away. I could just move to another city and find a job there. Part of me can’t wait to have him torment me again, and part of me wants to cry.

He was my first kiss, and he was my first orgasm. It was so much more intense than I ever thought it would be. Sadly, I’m still a virgin. When I was an undergraduate, I was so traumatized by Josh’s disappearance that I refused to even go on dates with guys. I had to work full time when I was in law school, and I never had time to date. Eventually, I started to take comfort in having my life in order. I relished the control and focus I used to get me through my degrees. There was no way I was going to let a man come along and mess with my head again.

The first day, I’m getting my office set up and collaborating with my new secretary on her duties. While she’s getting her computer set up, Josh buzzes her to schedule a meeting with me. She looks confused when she comes into my office to tell me that Josh Allen just phoned her to schedule an appointment with me that starts in five minutes.

“You’ll have to get used to that. Just do what he asks and don’t worry about it. Okay?” I say and offer a weak smile.

“Alright, Zoe. I just wasn’t sure what was going on.” Clare offers back.

“It’s okay, I don’t know either. I think it’s best if we just assume he’s quirky and go with that.”

“Yes, Ma’am.” Clare says and turns to leave.

“One more thing, Clare.”

“Yes?”

“Please don’t ever call me Ma’am again. Zoe is fine.” I say and laugh.

She relaxes a bit and goes back to her desk. I mumble a few obscenities under my breath once she’s gone. I can’t believe that pompous ass called my secretary to schedule a meeting with me for five minutes from now. Make that three minutes from now. He’s fucking with me. I’m pissed, and my nipples are as hard a rocks.

I adjust my bra trying to hide my current state of arousal, and walk quickly to his office. I breeze past his secretary, Annabel, and burst through his office door. I’m about to lay into him when he grabs me. Josh pushes me against the wall and runs his nose up the side of my neck. My skin prickles as his breath caresses me, and arousal floods my entire body.

“You like this don’t you.” He says and brushes his palm against my hardened nipple. “I can feel it.”

All I can do is moan. I want to beg him to take me right now, but my pride helps me resists. It doesn’t stop me from thrusting my chest forward in response to his touch, though. I’m about to speak, but he cuts me off.

“Oh, would you look at the time. I’ve got another meeting. You should try to be on time for our next appointment.” He says and walks out of his office leaving me panting and desperate for his cock.

He does this every day, and I let him. Each time I hope that he’ll lose control and take me, or that I’ll finally find the strength tell him off. Tell him off or get him off. I don’t even know what I want anymore.

Friday I don’t wait for his call. I march down to his office and let myself in ten minutes before our usual “appointment”.

“Good girl. That took less than a week. You’re going to be trainable after all.” He says and stands up.

“You are insufferable.” I practically yell at him.

“I don’t think you’re suffering at all. You’re making big money right out of school, you’ve got your office and secretary, you’re still absolutely beautiful, and you’re getting a little action from one of the most eligible bachelors in the city.”

“I hate you, Josh Allen. And, I want you to leave.me.alone.” I say and feel the hot flush spreading across my face.

Before I can take a breath, he’s on me. Josh backs me into the wall of his office, and one of his hands goes to the wall next to my head while the other reaches out and locks his office door. He’s got me pinned, and the hand that locked the door slides up my thigh and under my skirt. His fingers caress my pussy lips and a delighted smile lights up his normally hard face.

“No panties, huh? Did you not wear any today, or did you take them off before you came in here? I guess I’ll have to retire the Patty Prude nickname once and for all. So tell me, Zoe, did you do it for me?”

“I guess you’ll never know.” I say flatly and when he kisses me, I bite his bottom lip hard.

“Oh, you’ll pay for that little act of disobedience. Now hold still, or so help me god, I’ll never touch you again.” He says as two of his fingers slip between my lips and make contact with my clit.

My knees almost give out on me at his touch. His skin is a little rougher, but it takes me right back to the night at the party. I get dizzy with pleasure as he rubs me softly. The pressure is too light to make me cum, and it’s driving me insane.

“Beg me.” He demands.

“Never.” I defiantly lock eyes with him.

His fingers slip into my channel, and he freezes when he finds my virginity still intact. Josh’s eyes are wide, and for a moment, he looks like the boy I almost fell in love with again. Then, the cocky, arrogant demeanor takes over once more.

“Beg me, and maybe I’ll relieve you of your little
issue.”
His tone makes me want to punch him and walk out. 

“You’ll never make me…” I almost get the words out before his fingers find my clit again.

“What’s that, baby?” He says and rubs me just a little harder.

“No. no.” I try to hold on, but it’s no use. “Please, please make me cum.” I pant the words out.

I don’t have any time to feel ashamed for losing control. He drops to his knees and pushes my skirt up over my hips. He licks me a few times until I’m almost ready to go over the edge, I have to bite my lip to keep from screaming out his name when he wraps his lips around my throbbing nub and starts to suck. My hips involuntarily thrust forward and I grind myself against his face. His beard tickles my sensitive pussy, and I cum a second time before he lets me go.

Josh stands up and strokes his beard. “Mmm. You still taste like sweet strawberries, Zoe. You soaked my beard with your honey. You know what that means don’t you?”

“No.” I whisper, but I think I do.

“I’ll get to smell you all day.” He says and laughs.

“You’re so nasty.” I try to sound mad, but I’m failing.

“Oh, you love it.” He says as he pulls down my skirt. “I think I’m going to make no panties a requirement for your continued employment.” Josh says as he opens the door. “Thank you for that enlightening discussion, Ms. Miller. Make sure you stop at Annabel’s desk and set an appointment for our Monday meeting.”

I step out of his office, and I’m about to say something smart when he closes the office door. I take a deep breath and try to stop the embarrassment from taking over. Annabel is smiling at me, but the smile doesn’t reach her eyes. She looks like she wants to kill me right now.

“Can we have lunch today, Zoe? I need to talk to you.” Annabel says in a calm tone that doesn’t with fit the murderous look in her eyes.

Whatever she wants to talk to me about must be important. Maybe it’s something I need to know about Josh. Maybe it’s something that can help me out of this predicament. If I don’t figure out a way to deal with him, and my feelings for him, I’m going to have to quit. I should just quit right now, but instead I agree to have lunch with Annabel.

“Let me get my purse, and I’ll meet you in the lobby.” I tell her and head for my office.

“Sounds good Zoe. See you in five.” She says to my back as I walk away.

I close the door to my office and pull my panties out of my purse. I’m an idiot, and I’m doing this to myself. I hope that whatever Annabel has to say makes this whole thing go away. A girl can dream, right?

We go to lunch at a little pizza place around the corner from work. You can get pizza by the slice, and it is delicious. Annabel fills me in on some of the office gossip, and I listen and nod. I want to tell her that I don’t care, but I’m trying to avoid making enemies at work.

“The juiciest rumor is about you and Mr. Allen.” She wads up her napkin and puts it on her half eaten slice of pizza.

“I wouldn’t listen to anything you hear about him and me.” I take another bite of my pizza. It’s good and I intend to eat the whole slice even though Annabel looks a little horrified that I’m eating more than half.

“People say you guys were a thing in high school and that he’s still into you.” She’s not even trying to hide how much this particular piece of information interests her.

“We went to high school together, but we were never a thing. And, we’re certainly not a thing now. One of the other partners hired me for the position, and Josh barely remembers who I am.”

I’m lying so much right now, but I don’t need this shit. If I’m going to quit, I want it to be on my terms. If I end up staying, I don’t want to be involved in any office drama. I have to find a way to extract myself from Josh’s emotional and physical grasp. What Annabel tells me next is exactly what I need to hear.

“Oh, that’s so good to hear.” She lets out an exaggerated sigh of relief. “I wanted us to be able to be friends, but that wasn’t going to happen if you were putting the moves on my boyfriend.” There is that smile that doesn’t reach her eyes again. It’s pretty creepy.

“Boyfriend?”

“Yes, Josh and I have to keep it under wraps at work. But, after a just few months of being his secretary, we’ve fallen in love. I should find another job, but I can’t stand the thought of being away from him now that I’m used to being so close every day at work.”

“Oh, well. Okay then. That’s great for you.” I fake a smile. “I have to get back. I have my first client meetings starting tomorrow, and I’ve got to get ready.”

Once I’m back in my office, I shut the door and smolder for at least an hour. That slimy motherfucker. I knew he was a
bad boy
, but it turns out he’s just a lying, degenerate asshole. I should have known better. He fucked me over once, and of course, he was going to do it again.

If I didn’t have client meetings for the rest of the week and a professional reputation to protect, I’d walk out now. Since, I’m trapped here, I’ll just make the best of it. No more
meetings
with Mr. Dick. I mean, Mr. Allen. He can fire me for not being his toy anymore, but I’m not putting up with this crap for one more second.

Zoe Miller will be keeping her panties on at work from now on.
