The Arrangement

I needed the job more than I needed my pride. That's the only reason I walked into the top-floor interview at Halworth & Cade already knowing three men would be sitting on the other side of that desk instead of one.

Griffin Halworth doesn't ask. He decides, and then he waits — amused — for the rest of us to catch up. Sawyer Cade smiles like he already knows exactly what I sound like when I stop pretending I'm fine. And Noah Ferris, the quiet one, the one who watches instead of talking, is somehow the most dangerous of the three.

They don't split their empire and they don't split their attention. When they told me the real job wasn't the one posted online, I should have walked out. I signed anyway.

Now I answer to all three of them, in the boardroom and after it, and every rule I thought I understood about what a woman is supposed to want has come apart in my hands. I am not naive enough to call it love. I am not strong enough to call it a mistake.

A rival firm is circling their company with a hostile buyout and a grudge two decades old, and the three men who never had to choose between winning and keeping something are running out of time to decide which one matters more. If I'm going to survive being wanted by all three of them, I'm going to have to stop waiting to be told what I'm allowed to want back.

Very high heat, fully explicit throughout. Power exchange, group dynamics, and possessive claiming between consenting adults (18+).

Tropes: Boss/Employee, Reverse Harem (MFMM), Dom/Sub Power Exchange, Workplace Forbidden, Possessive Alpha x3, Corporate Rivals-to-Allies
