Holdover

A Spicy Workplace Romance

I do not sign a line I cannot see. I already sat a boss who wanted acres more than a window.

Roan Pettit wants Bench Draw without my time. Squad boss. Last season still in his chest. I keep the map, the copper thumbtack, and the hour. He is careful with hose and careless with the sit, and he keeps finding reasons to still be in the cache when I am.

The holdover is the job. The way he waits for my window is not. One night after Wynn locks the cage. I can walk when the acres are caught.

If I stay, it is because I choose the man who initials the sit. Not because he asked nicer.
