My Bosses Pretend Lover

Chapter Four - The soon to be ex wife

Brandon's P.O.V

I woke to the sound of my alarm, with the feeling that someone was hitting my head with a hammer over and over again. I groaned in pain with my head pounding. How much did I drink last night? How did I even get home?

After dinner with Nova, the rest was a blur. Nova? I hope she got home, OK. I slowly sat up on the bed, not wanting to rush. I don't need to be in any more pain. I looked around my room, seeing a figure laying on my sofa. Who the heck is that? Please don't tell me I hooked up with someone and send them to the couch after? I hope not; I am not that much of asshole.

I stood up, tiptoeing my way to the sofa, trying to work out who it was. It took me a moment to realise who it was. Nova? God, please tell me I did not have s*x with her last night? She is the only one that keeps me sane. The only one that doesn't drool after me. s**t! What have I done? I started pacing and replaying last night in my head. Trying to remember what happened, but a lot of it was still a blur.

"Brandon? Are you OK? Why are you pacing?" She asked tiredly.

"Did we have s*x last night?" I asked panicked.

She giggled, making me glare at her, but she laughed at me.

"No, we did not have s*x last night. Don't flatter yourself,  Sir. You wanted me to stay, and I did." She said.

I felt myself relax after she said that—one less thing to worry about.

"Why are you on the sofa?" I asked.

"Because I wanted to be here. You offered me to join you in bed, but I refused." She laughed.

"Really? I am sorry. What else did I do that I should not have?" I asked worriedly.

"Nothing. You are really funny when you are drunk. I do have to admit that." She said with a smile.

Thank God I never made too much of an i***t of myself last night.

"Thank God for that. I am going to grab a quick shower. There is another shower down the hall if you want one?" I said.

"Thanks. I need to stop at home before we go to the office to get some clothes." Nova said.

"OK, that's fine. You want some boxers to shove on? I know that you girls aren't like us guys and wear the same underwear for more than one day." I laughed.

I don't do that, that is disgusting, but I know a lot of guys do. Nova laughed, nodding her head. I grabbed her a pair from my drawer, passing them to her. As I did, she pulled the covers from her body standing up. She was in some of my clothes. I am not going to lie; she looked good in them. I need to stop getting these thoughts about her. It is wrong.

"Thanks." She smiled.

I gave her directions to the shower before heading to the other shower for myself. I knew we would have to make it quick since we need to stop by Nova's place.

We pulled up outside of the office with five minutes to spare. We stopped for some breakfast and coffee on the go before coming because I don't work right without my morning coffee. Nova and I headed into the office together, making people look at us and whispering. I knew what they were all thinking. Maybe it is a good thing in a way because a couple of them are friends with Darcy. I am sure Darcy will be hearing about this before the day is up, which means when I show up at the Gala with Nova, it will be more believable that something is going on between us.

"Can I get you anything, Mr Hayes?" She asked going back into a professional mode which I appreciated since we were at work.

"Pain killers and a bottle of water, please?" I smiled.

She nodded, heading off to get what I asked. I headed to my office when I arrived Darcy was in my office chair. What the f**k does she want? I thought I had made it clear to everyone she was not allowed in my office?

"What are you doing here?" I snapped at her.

"Don't act like you have not missed me, Brandon." She said smirking.

I closed my eyes, taking a few deep breaths. She was right, even after being separate for six months and not seeing her for a few weeks I do find myself still missing her. She made her way over to me, standing in front of me, dressed in a sexy little black number that showed her curves. I loved her curves. Her long legs were on show, her high heels making them look even better. I swallowed hard as I eyed her up and down before finally meeting her eyes.

"What do you want?" I managed to stutter out.

"I was hoping we could have some fun for old time sake." She purred, trailing her finger down my chest.

I gulped, feeling my length beginning to harden. I knew I should push her away, but she still had a hold over me, and she knows it. This is not the first time since we separated; she has come to me for s*x. She isn't getting pleasured right by the asshole she left me for because if she were, she would not need to go to me.

"Darcy," I warned, knowing I was losing all of my control.

"Come on, baby; you know you still want me." She purred, running her hand over my hard-on.

I moaned, Darcy, taking that as he cue to press her lips against mine. I kissed her back for a moment before reality hit; I was not getting used like this, not again. I quickly pulled away from her lips, stepping back.

"No Darcy. This is not happening again. I am not some play toy for you to mess with. You left me, remember?" I growled annoyed.

"You like me playing with you, though. Come on we both know the s*x has been hotter since we separated. What he does not know can't hurt him." She purred, reaching for me again, but I never let her.

"No. Plus, I am seeing someone. f**k off and don't come back, OK? I don't ever want to see you again. Unless it's to sign divorce papers that get you out of my life for good." I snapped, telling her straight for the first time.

"What? Who? Who the f**k is she? Is it that slutty assistant of yours? Were you and her f*****g before I even left? I bet you were." She snarled at me. 

Is she jealous? Is she for real right now? She has no right. She left me, but at the same time, I could not help but smirk at how she was responding to me. She was pissed off. I could tell her yes it was Nova I was seeing but decided I would let her find that out for herself at the Gala.

"None of your damn business is the answer to all your questions. Now get the f**k out of my office Darcy. Now!" I snapped.

"Whatever. You will come back to me because you still want me, Brandon." She huffed before storming out.

As she was heading out, Nova was coming in. s**t! This is not going to end well.

"I knew you were f*****g my husband you little slut." She growled at her.

"Excuse me? Who do you think you are talking too? Don't you dare talk to me like that Darcy? And what is or is not happening between Brandon and I is none of your damn business. You left him, remember." Nova growled back.

I was a little taken back by her. I smiled though at the fact she was sticking up for herself against Darcy for once. When Darcy and I were still together, Nova never answered her back when she said things to her but glad she is now. With the Darcy flipped her hair, groaned and stormed away. Nova turned to me.

"What was all that about?" She asked.

"She came here wanting s*x from me, but I told her, no. Told her it was not going to work this time. I told her I was seeing someone, never mentioned any names. She just assumed it was you." I said.

"Oh…OK. God, I hate that b***h. I know technically she is still your wife, but she is a b***h, Sir." Nova said.

I chuckled, nodding in agreement, making her giggle before placing my stuff on the desk that I asked for.

"We should get to work. We have a lot to do. I have a lot of travelling coming up over the next couple of months, so we need to get those things sorted." I said

"Sure thing Sir. I am all yours." She said, smiling.

I smirked when she said that. Even though I knew she never meant it to sound the way I thought it. She shook her head, rolling her eyes before laughing and walking away to sit down.
