Her Controlling CEO

Rebekah Marie Reynolds, a 23-year-old barista, adjusted her apron, the familiar scent of roasted beans filling the air of Amour de Café. Her phone buzzed insistently in her purse, a frantic vibration that could only mean one person.

“Hey mom, what’s up?” she answered, her voice a little too bright for her morning shift. Her mother's excited words tumbled out, a whirlwind of wedding plans and red dresses, before silence abruptly fell.

“Honey, are you there?”

“Oh, I can finally get a word in, mother,” Rebekah chuckled, stepping backward and then—Thud!

She looked up, bracing herself, and found herself staring into the most piercing, pure blue eyes she had ever seen. A gorgeous man, no older than 27, stood before her, stealing her breath with a single glance. Every sculpted feature of his face made her instinctively lick her lips.
