Coldhearted Boss

“Ethan?”
“Yeah?”
“Did I ever tell you how crazy it is that we ended up together? Me and you, the most coldhearted boss I’ve ever had. You, the man who drives me crazy. You, the person I think I’m starting to fall for.”
“Starting to?”
“I don’t want to scare you.”
“Scare me,” he commands.
“I think I’ve developed deep feelings for you,” I say, chickening out. “This from the woman who marched across the mess hall and mauled me today,” he drawls with all the arrogance of a lion.
“I didn’t maul you!”
“Just say it and put me out of my misery. I know how much you hated me, now tell me how much you love me.” “Okay. I really, really lo…ok forward to continuing to work on your crew. It’s been a great experience.”
“Try again.”
“I really lo…se myself in your eyes. They’re really pretty. Like chocolate, or poop.”
He laughs and tosses me down onto the bed then crawls up over me. He gives my hip a little love bite and I squeal. “I’ve never heard such overtures of love before. I’m going to swoon.”
