Finding a job is incredibly difficult for a provincial guy like me. People in the city tend to look down on us, so I promised myself that one day, I'd work for a massive company and show them I'm not "just" some guy from the province—but a hardworking man who earns an honest living for his family.
But by some unexpected twist of fate, it wasn't just a job that came my way; this woman arrived like a literal storm.
The one and only temptation of my life.
"M-Ma'am?"
"Hmm?"
"Why are you tying me up?"
She didn't look up; instead, she just arched an eyebrow at me, her eyes never leaving what she was doing. It made my breathing hitch even more. I could do nothing but swallow repeatedly, trying to clear the lump in my throat.
"M-Ma'am Vero—" I was cut off when she suddenly tightened the rope around my feet.
She still ignored me. She simply stood up and brushed off her skirt—a skirt so short that one wrong move would expose everything it was meant to hide. It was dangerously revealing.
"Now, my dear Seph," she said with a smirk. "We will talk."
"W-while I'm tied up?"
"Yup."
I swallowed hard again as sweat poured down me incessantly. I tried to loosen my restraints, but I couldn't budge them because the knots were so tight. Both my hands were behind my back, while my feet were bound to the legs of the chair I was sitting on.
I felt like I was going to lose my breath when she started unbuttoning her blouse. She was even humming to herself, teasingly letting the fabric slide off her smooth shoulders and down to the floor.
I thought that was as far as she would go—but I was wrong.
Next, she began unbuttoning my polo shirt. I averted my eyes just so I wouldn't have to stare at her chest, which was already pressed against mine, covered only by black lingerie. She tenderly loosened my tie and let her orange hair fall loose.
"Actually, you really pissed me off big time, Mr. Lazaro."
"M-Ma'am, what—" My breath hitched when she suddenly climbed into my lap.
The touch of her smooth skin against mine sent a strange heat through my body, added to her fragrant scent that was making me lose my mind.
"I'm mad, Seph. I'm really mad."
"I-I don't understand. Did I do something to make you angry—"
"Shhh..." she interrupted, her index finger playing with my lips before she whispered directly into my ear. "How dare you flirt with other bitches out there in front of your boss?"
"I-I wasn't flirting, Ma'am."
"Liar!" she snapped. Her teeth were gritted as she glared at me. "I saw you! You talked to my female employee!"
I squeezed my eyes shut to avoid her tempting beauty and allure. "We were just talking. That's... that's different from flirting."
"I don't believe you, babe. I really don't believe you."
A groan escaped my lips when she began nibbling on my ear, her soft hands wandering freely over my body, leaving a trail of heat on my skin.
She caressed my cheek, and a mischievous smirk played on her lips that made my heart race.
"I will punish you for being a bad employee, Seph Lazaro." She bit her lower lip, her eyes heavy and hooded as she gazed at me. "I will punish you so bad that you're going to end up liking it."
I couldn't say another word as her lips captured mine in a fierce kiss. I had no choice but to kiss her back, just as I always did.
My boss, who does nothing but tempt me—Veronica Ruth Verdan.
And me?
I'm Seph Lazaro, her new secretary.
