Boss Level

Danielle’s hand rests on her collarbone the way it always does when the ache becomes impossible to hide.

At the firm party her husband Russell watches from across the room while her boss Luke stands so close his breath warms her ear. At the private award dinner Luke seats her beside him and leaves Russell at the far end of the table, and later that night Russell presses her against the hallway wall and takes her with a hunger she hasn’t felt in years. When Luke comes to their house on a Saturday to “work on revisions,” Russell brings coffee and leaves the office door open, then waits in the garage while his wife’s voice breaks on another man’s name.

By the time Danielle stays late in Luke’s office and lets him pull her against the drafting table, she knows Russell is waiting at home to hear every detail. She knows he’ll watch from the chair as Luke claims her completely. She knows he’ll step close enough to kiss her while she rides her boss, knows he’ll take her back the moment Luke is gone—deeper, more possessive, desperate to feel exactly where another man has been.

This is what happens when a wife stops pretending she doesn’t want her boss… and her husband discovers how much he needs to watch.
