THE INTERN

IVY

I walk like nothing happened last night, like my mouth wasn’t wrapped around the CEO’s cock and his cock wasn’t deep inside me all night long.

It was just sex, Ivy. It didn’t mean anything…

I settle at my desk outside his office and open my laptop like I’m about to tackle world peace. Instead, I spend the next five minutes trying to remember how to spell brief .

“You’re two hours early for work today, Miss Locke.” Dominic’s voice cuts through my concentration like a knife. “You left long before I could suggest we come here together. Any reason why?”

He’s standing in his office doorway, perfectly dressed and calm as ever.

“Yes.” I give him a nod. “Lots of final touches on the Skittles campaign.”

“I see.” He smirks. “Would you like to go over them with me?”

“No.” I look away from him. “I would like to only be summoned when you have a real, nonsexual task.”

“Have I ever given you a sexual one?”

“Could you please stop talking before someone else hears you?”

“There’s no one else here.” He moves closer. “Are you about to try to avoid me again?”

“Yes.” I straighten my back.

“Why?”

“Because you and I are currently stuck in a weird Twilight Zone episode where the older man screws his much younger?—”

“You’re not that much younger…”

“—intern,” I pick up where I left off. “And then, because he’s done so much nice shit trying to pretend to be a nice guy, she’ll catch feelings off some sexual innuendos and then he’ll be screwing someone else at the end while her heart breaks during the credits.”

He blinks. “What do you think about all that?”

“I think it’s obvious you’ve never watched an episode of The Twilight Zone .”

“I’m being serious,” I say. “I have three more condos to look at with Tracey, and I should have that done by the time the Skittles team comes to see us and… I don’t want to—I don’t want to cross the line again.”

“Okay, Miss Locke,” he says. “Fair enough. We’ll keep it strictly business from here on out.”

He walks away easily, confirming everything I just said.
