This is the final part of Urges, a dark romance series by USA Today bestselling author Sky Corgan.
A tumultuous love affair with her boss has left Fennel Riegel feeling completely destroyed. All she wants to do is get away from the man who threw her trust back into her face. Getting away from him is easier said than done though when he seems to be on the hot pursuit.
After finding a new job and settling into a place of her own, Fennel thought that life was finally returning to normal. Trent Stevens has other plans though. He's going to follow Fennel to the ends of the earth and do whatever it takes to get her back, including disclosing his darkest secrets.
Spice Level: Hot.
The air in Trent's office is stifling. My eyes are fixed on his lips, though for the first time ever, I'm not thinking about kissing them. I'm waiting for him to say the words that will cast me out of his presence forever. And I'm so pissed off that I don't care.
It seems like the cat has his tongue. We look across his desk at each other, and as the time ticks by, counting to the end of the day, counting to my termination, I feel the tension building up inside of me to an insurmountable level. If he has nothing to say, then I sure do. I will go down with guns blazing, and by the time I walk out of his office, he'll know what a total piece of shit I think he is.
“You know, Trent, I really enjoyed what happened between us, and I'm not just saying that because you think I'm a slut. I'm not. Sleeping around isn't my thing.”
“I never—”
“Shut up!” I hold my hand out to silence him. We're beyond the point where I give a crap about what he has to say. Thankfully, he doesn't challenge me. His body tenses, but he remains quiet while I continue my rant, perhaps thinking that he owes me at least this much. “I like you. No.” I shake my head. “That's not right. I liked you. I thought you were a great guy. Some hero, coming to save the day. Maybe not at first. Not at the hotel. But when I came in here and saw you were willing to give me a job despite what happened between us and my lack of experience. And maybe not even then so much as when you treated me with respect and never made me feel weird about things.
