Page 25 of My Boss With Benefits

I flatten my free hand against his chest. "I willalwaysallow that."

He turns serious. "You make me feel beautiful. For the first time in my life, I don't feel self-conscious about my size or weight. Thank you for that."

"Youarebeautiful. On the inside as much as the outside."

"And you're incredible."

"Can't argue with that."

He chuckles, his brown eyes lighting up. "I'm the luckiest guy in the world."

"Nuh-uh. I am." I shake my head, lift up on my toes, and press a kiss to his forehead. "Now let's go in so I can give these flowers to your mom before they wilt."

SNEEK PEEK AT MY FAKE BOYFRENEMY

I can’t tell if he wants me, or hates me. Both. It's probably both.

From the moment we met, Pierce Owen lit a fire inside me. A confusing fire.

There's something between us. A chemistry I've never had with anyone else.

But I can't get a handle on the guy. He runs hot one minute and cold the next.

And why do I even care? After all, I'm straight…ish.

Whichshouldmake it easy to pretend to be his boyfriend when Pierce's douchey ex shows up.

But instead, it only blurs the lines even more.

Could my fake boyfrenemy turn into something real?

Chapter 1

Marnus

"Hey, Jerkface. Wanna beer?"

I lift my chin and grin. "I'd love one. Thanks, Dickwad."

"You got it, Loser." Pierce messes up my hair as he walks past us, the scent of his cologne lacing the warm night air.

I let my eyes linger on his tall, broad frame illuminated by the giant beach bonfire. His dark T-shirt stretches to accommodate the wide span of his shoulders, his dark brown hair is swept into a messy bun.

I'm sitting with my friends and colleagues Joel and Firass at the end of a massively long shift at Elysian. We've been on our feet all day, working our asses off to ensure guests are having a great time, so everyone is pooped.

"I'm so confused." Joel leans in once Pierce is out of earshot. "Why do you guys act like you hate each other?"

"It's like their love language or something," Firass answers for me.
