â Ellie immediately noticed the baby brain getting worse after Arnoldâs birthâwhen you tried to warm up formula in the freezer.
â She didnât laugh. She just kissed your forehead and said, âOkay, weâre labeling the appliances now.â
â She actually made laminated, color-coded labels for everything in the kitchen, even labeling the fridge "cold mama box."
â Ellie started carrying around a mini notepad just for youâso whenever you said âremind me toâŠâ sheâd jot it down, rip it out, and stick it to the fridge later.
â She downloaded four different baby apps on her phone and synced them to yours âjust in case you forget the login.â
â Ellie started doing all the grocery shopping herself. She says itâs because she âdoesnât trust you not to come home with twelve cucumbers and no wipes.â
â She leaves sticky notes in the most random placesâon your hairbrush, your favorite mug, your side of the mirrorâsaying things like:
âBrush hair, drink water, kiss your genius wife.â
â If you forget what day it is, sheâll tease you with, âItâs Monday, babe. I teach. You nurse. Aurora bosses everyone around. Classic schedule.â
â Ellie took over organizing Auroraâs school things and Arnoldâs paediatric appointments without telling youâjust quietly made herself the admin on everything.
â She keeps emergency snacks in her desk drawer for you. Theyâre labelled: âReaderâs sanity bites.â
â When you forgot your phone at home for the third time in a week, Ellie drove back from campus during her break just to give it to youâwith a protein bar and a coffee.
â She never scolds or sighsâshe just wraps you in her arms and says, âWe made a whole human. Youâre allowed to forget what the stove is.â
â Ellie started handwriting a âday summaryâ in a little journal next to your bed. Just a few lines like:
âAurora told her class you invented apples. Arnold tried to poop on me. I love you.â
â She began calling reminders out loud like an AI assistant. âHey babe! You were going to fold the laundry! OrâŠwas that past-youâs mistake?â
â Ellie bought you matching necklaces engraved with the kidsâ initialsâ"A & A"âbecause she knew youâd keep misplacing the baby bag.
â When you cried over losing your car keys (which were in your hand), she cradled your face and whispered, âIâd forget my own name if you werenât around to moan it.â
â She started calling baby brain âMama PhD syndromeââso it felt less like a flaw and more like some grand cosmic achievement.
â Ellie writes little affirmations in your notebooks like:
âYou made Aurora. You made Arnold. You are literal magic. Iâll remember everything else for us.â
â She never lets you apologize for being forgetful. âYou pushed out a kid and made milk. My brain would have exploded.â
â Ellie sometimes wears a pin on her cardigan that says: âAsk me about my sleep-deprived wife.â
â She draws stick figure comics of your dayâlike the time you put a diaper on backwardsâjust to make you laugh.
â She once caught you putting a bottle in the dryer and quietly walked over, replaced it with laundry, and kissed your cheek like it was completely normal.
â Ellie created a shared âbaby survivalâ spreadsheet. Color-coded. With tabs like âDid I eat today?â and âArnoldâs poop log.â
â When you forget to eat, she sits you down on her lap, feeds you bites of toast like sheâs the professor of nourishment.
â Ellie calls you âmama geniusâ ironically when you do silly things like put your keys in the fridgeâalways with a teasing grin and a soft kiss.
â She puts tiny hearts next to your to-do list items, especially the ones you keep forgetting. âDrink water, mama. For me.â
â Ellie started carrying a spare pacifier in her jacket pocket âjust in case you forget his againâno shade.â
â She lets Aurora scold you gently. âMama, you put Daddyâs lunch in the diaper pail again.â Ellieâs behind her, trying not to laugh.
â When you space out during a conversation, she touches your wrist gently and says, âHey, come back to me, space cadet.â
â Ellie plays memory games with youânot to fix anything, but just to be close to you. âOkay, five things you touched in the last ten minutes. Go.â
â She started organizing your makeup by use frequency and labeled the drawers: âStuff for when you care,â âStuff for five-minute glam,â and âYouâre hot no matter what.â
â Ellie bought you memory supplements and stuck them inside a chocolate bar wrapper so youâd actually take them.
â She made a âbaby brain emergencyâ bag with chapstick, mints, cash, wipes, and a picture of the kids. Itâs in her office.
â When you forgot where you parked, Ellie just quietly activated her phone tracker on your location and found you without judgment.
â Ellie installed a key tracker app and pretends itâs because she loses things too. (She doesnât.)
â When you forgot to pack a bottle and panicked, Ellie offered you her office coffee mug. âItâs clean. Itâs desperate times.â
â She started a bedtime routine where she lists all the things you did remember today. Even if itâs just: âYou kissed Arnold. You said âI love you.â You were patient.â
â Ellie kisses the inside of your wrist when you say âIâm sorry, Iâm just so dumb lately.â She says, âYouâre exhausted, not dumb. Youâre brilliant. Youâre mine.â
â She taught Aurora to give you a kiss when you look overwhelmed. âKiss Mamaâs forehead. Thatâs the reboot button.â
â Ellie wrote a journal titled âThings Reader Forgot That Made Me Love Her More.â
â When you forgot your coffee on top of the car and drove off, Ellie bought you a spill-proof cup and wrote âReaderâs Lifelineâ on it in Sharpie.
â She sets gentle alarms on your phone named âYou deserve a breakâ or âStretch & hydrate, my love.â
â Ellie started doing baby signs with Arnold early so he could "help remind Mama" when he's hungry or needs a change.
â She learned how to tie your shoes one-handed for when you were holding Arnold and couldnât bend down.
â Ellie whispers soft reminders into your neck when hugging you:
âKeys in your purse. Phoneâs on the charger. Youâre not alone in this.â
â She makes âproud of youâ playlists for when you make it through the day without crying or forgetting Auroraâs lunch.
â Ellie sets the GPS for you automatically, even if itâs just to the grocery store. âNot because you canât, but so you donât have to.â
â She bakes your favorite muffins with little paper flags stuck in them that say things like: âHot mom fuelâ or âMemory boost: unlocked.â
â When you forgot your name at the pediatrician (true story), Ellie just smirked and said, âThis is my wife. She's magic, just momentarily unplugged.â
â She always rubs your back in the kitchen when youâre staring at nothing. âBaby brainâs a bitch, huh? Good thing Iâm here.â
â Ellie added an extra whiteboard in the hallway just for âMama Notesâ where she writes reminders, love notes, and cute drawings.
â She refuses to let you feel embarrassed around her. âYou can forget everything but Iâll always remember who you are to me.â
â Ellie got Aurora to memorize your morning routine so she can bossily direct you through it. âMama, brush your teeth. No, your toothbrush.â
â She bought you a necklace with Arnoldâs birthstone and said, âNow you donât have to remember. Itâs always with you.â
â When you forgot to change out of your pajama top before going out, she just handed you a hoodie and winked. âStill hot.â
â Ellie created a memory jar labeled âThings You Did Right This Week.â She puts in notes when youâre asleep.
â She holds your hand tighter when she feels you spiraling. âOne thing at a time, babe. Just one.â
â Ellie started sending you gentle check-in texts:
âHey, love. Did you eat? Hydrate? Breathe?â
â She gives you small tasks, like folding a single onesie, and celebrates like you just aced an exam. âTen outta ten, Professor Mama.â
â Ellie learned how to braid your hair so she can do it for you when you forget or donât have the energy.
â When you accidentally called Aurora âEllie,â she just laughed and said, âWeâre both obsessed with you, so it tracks.â
â She bought you new glasses because she said, âYou keep misplacing your brain, letâs at least help your eyes.â
â Ellie whispers âI got youâ into your temple when youâre lost in a fog, grounding you like itâs instinct.
â She bought a wall calendar just to put gold stars on it for every good day you had. Even if itâs just âdidnât cry before 10am.â
â Ellie encourages you to nap and will lie beside you, watching over you like youâre the rarest research specimen sheâs ever found.
â She plays memory-based games with Aurora and invites you to join, saying, âLetâs all forget things together.â
â When you forgot your name again, she just kissed your hand and said, âDoesnât matter. Youâre mine.â
â Ellie started carrying around a mini photo album of you and the kids and hands it to you when you feel overwhelmed. âProof youâre doing it. All of it.â
â She gives you forehead kisses more often than usualâbecause she says it helps "charge your RAM."
â Most of all, Ellie never makes you feel like your forgetfulness is a burden. She makes it feel like just another part of loving and learning each otherâjust another thing she remembers how to hold, so you donât have to.

Warnings: cannibalism, murder, blood, dismembering of a body
Summary: Ellie questions if you really love her or if you were just using her to clean up your mess
(A message to whoever requested this, i deeply apologize if its too dark! It was supposed to be a nice lovey dovey thing but i got carried away:( If you need me to rewrite it, just let me know)
I knew you were gonna hit up my line
It was only just a matter of time
âEllieâ her voice sounded soft and pained through the phone âI did it againâ she whispered
âFuck baby I thought you said youâd stopâ
âIâm sorry elsâ she cried âplease come help meâ
With a sigh Ellie ended the call, rubbing her eyes lazily. Ellie knew you were going to call her. She knew it would only be a matter of time before you reached out to her again. And she knew she shouldnât go. She shouldnât help you. You go yourself into this situation. You can get yourself out of it.
But it was as if a magnetic force drew you to her. The harder she fights the attraction she has for you, the more she wants you. You were dangerous. Ruthless. Â This was a mistake. Falling for you was a mistake. But oh how Ellie loved you.
And here she was driving to your apartment. Your saving grace. No matter what you did, Ellie could never hate you. Even if that includes you murdering someone.
Was it a case of out of state, out of mind?
'Cause something 'bout you just ain't right
You told me that you were gon' see me later
Maybe you were tryna be sweet
Got me clutching on my pillow
And checking out the window
But what you want with me?
Do you really love me? Are you only using me? What are we? What am I to you? Do you really care about me? Do you even fucking love me?
The questions float around in Ellieâs mind. Ellie was on her hands and knees scrubbing the floors, trying to get the blood out of your carpet as you lay sound asleep.
You had a hold on her. A very unhealthy hold. Ellie canât look at anyone else, she canât think of anyone else. Hell, she doesnât get turned on by anyone else but you.
She remembers those many nights where you text her saying youâll come over. The nights where sheâd stay awake looking out of her window, waiting for you like a dog waiting for its owner. The nights she stayed awake sobbing when you donât respond to her. Everything you do, everything you say affects her. You consumed her. And fuck Ellie hates it.
Maybe youâre just being nice? Only talking to her out of pity. Or at least that what Dina says.
âEllie she doesnât love you. If she did she wouldâve committed to you, all you are is a quick fuckâ
And she knew Dina, was telling the truth, but she was in denial. She ended her friendship with Dina on the spot because no one, absolutely no one says anything negative about you or your relationship.
Ellieâs eyes focused on your body, she watched your chest rise slightly. Ellie wiped the blood from her hands, on her jeans and she slowly walked to where you lay. She gently lay next to you, looking at the dried blood on your hands and mouth.
The first time Ellie met you, she knew there was something off about you. The way stared at people, the way you would always get steak and ask for it to be extremely rare. But just because you like getting your stake a little rare doesnât mean you were mentally ill or something.
 But every time Ellie looked at you, there was something telling her to get away, donât get involved, run
Donât fall in love
If only she listened.
You and Ellie soon became friends with benefits. Hooking up, going on little dates. And even though Ellie knew you didnât want a relationship she couldnât help but fall for you. You were the only thing on her mind. And she thought over time sheâd eventually move on. But no. Here she is two years later questioning if you really love her or not.
She doesnât remember how it happened. All she remembered was walking into your apartment and seeing someoneâs leg on the table. She still doesnât know how you convinced her to help you kill people and to cut them up.
 For fucks sake Ellie should go the police, and she should get you into a mental hospital. But she cant. Because she loves you. Every time youâd call her crying and saying Ellie I did it again, sheâd always come over and help you clean the mess. Ellie would spend hours dismembering bodies for you. Sheâd do anything for you.
And here she lay next to you once again, surrounded by blood and pieces of a random guy questioning if you really loved her, or if youâre only using her.
Where did you come from, baby?
And why'd you keep bringin' me down?
'Cause if you don't want me, baby
Then why you keep me around?
Boy, I don't want no drama
I got to move on in line
I won't let you cause me trauma
You just want to waste my time
It feels like a rock has been tied to her ankle, and she was thrown into the ocean slowly sinking as the water filled her lugs, drowning her. Thatâs what it feels like being in a relationship with you. Ellie is drowning in all these unanswered questions.
 If you didnât want her, you should say something. You should stop giving her hope. Stop making her think sheâs special. Stop making her think she has a future with you. You traumatized her, in more ways than one. She thought your relationship would be simple, filled with love, but god was she wrong. Were you putting spells on her? Why was she infatuated with you? These are just more questions that will go unanswered.
Youâre a cannibal and god knows how many people youâve killed. But you were Ellieâs girl. You were the light in her dark and depressing life. âLove conquers allâ they say. And Ellie thinks that quote applies to your relationship. But love cant conquer all if itâs one sided. So once again she sat with the question, do you really love her or were you just using her to clean up your mess?
Haven't seen you in a minute
You probably wanna wrap me in it
Got me in deep, I just wanna hold you, tДll you all my feelings
Been cleanin' my room for hours
You better comĐ” through with flowers
Your love is bliss, but I know

Your love is bliss, but I know
After that night, that Ellie cleaned your house once again. She hasnât heard from you in weeks. Sheâll never admit it out loud, but she missed you. She was lonely. She was starved for your presence.
But you not messaging her was a good thing, this could be her chance to move on. To find someone new. To finally fall out of love with a cannibal.
And she tried. She really did.
She went on dates, hook ups, parties, but nothing worked. No one was you. And Ellie soon realized sheâs fucked for life. Your silence was probably a sign of you telling her hey! Iâm not in love with you, but Ellie canât give up. She wonât. You were the air she breathed. And she was going to get you back.
And thatâs what she did. She showed up at your apartment, ignoring the blood splattered everywhere, she walked straight to your room. Before you could say anything Ellie smashed her lips into yours, tasting blood as she kissed you. A taste she had gotten used to at this point. The kiss was pure bliss, filled with passion and love.
And as she was kissing you she realized just how in love she was with you. She was in deep for you. And god, she wonât let go of you.
If you don't really care about it
And this ain't what you wanted
Then I gotta throw in the towel
But you don't you treat me like a child
And yell me, all these lies
I'm begging you, don't be cruel
Just say that we're through
All the times youâve lied, manipulated and gas-lighted her shouldâve made her leave you. Ellie knows you donât care about her. She knows youâll never leave her alone until she says you should. But she also knows sheâll never find someone better than you. In the last two years you were together, through the lies, you showed her the love she wanted, and she showed you the commitment you craved.
 And even as cruel as it is, even though it kills Ellie that you donât love her, sheâll stay. Sheâll always be by your side.
She thought she needed you to leave her to be a better person. But no, all she needed was to accept that youâll never love her. And sheâll never be anything more than a cleaner to you. Her love and loyalty will be enough for the both of you.
She thought you were wasting her time, by trapping her in this loveless, and violent relationship. But all the time Ellie wasted on you was made up by all the nights you spent by her, and promised her sweet nothings.
You might only be using Ellie to clean up your mess, but she doesnât give two fucks. As long as sheâs with you killing and dismembering a couple of people is worth it.

Warnings: toxic relationships and manipulation
Summary: In which you were dating the world famous Ellie Williams
Well, my boyfriend's in a band
He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed
I've got feathers in my hair
I get down to Beat poetry
And my jazz collection's rare
I can play most anything
I'm a Brooklyn baby
I'm a Brooklyn baby
Ellie was bound to be a star.
When Joel first taught her how to play guitar, he knew.
She was going to do great things, and everyone knew it too.
Ellie's first school concert was when she was 7 years old. She had guitar classes and her teacher was so impressed with her that she had Ellie do a solo.
As soon as Ellie got on that stage, it was as if she took control of the room in an instant. Everyone was so enchanted by her and everything she did.
Ellie was 17 years old when a producer reached out to her. Joel wasn't surprised because he knew his girl, and he knew one way or another that she would be a star.
And a star she became.
As soon as she turned 18, Ellie immediately signed the contract and she climbed the ranks in the music industry very quickly.
Within 3 months Ellies first single reached over a 100 thousand listens, and she was in high demand.
Everyone wanted her for brand promotions, they wanted the use her music.
Ellie was taking the music industry by a storm.
As the years went by, Ellie went from a solo artist, to being in a band with 2 best friends, Dina and Jesse.
They were called the golden trio, and because Ellie was the face of it they surpassed massive artists within days.
Now six years later, Ellie sat in her dressing room, as she heard the crowd chant her name.
Ellie! Ellie! Ellie!
She heard a knock on her door and she yelled a quick: "come in!"
As the door opened you walked in, and you walked towards her giving her a quick peck before whispering "you're on in 5 babe".
Ellie gave you another kiss, as she got up, walking to the mirror quickly fixing her outfit for a second.
"Do I look ok?" Ellie asked as she looked at herself in the mirror.
She was wearing a white wife beater, and a pair of black jeans, her hair was in a ponytails and her fingernails were painted black.
Ellie felt your arms wrap around her from behind.
"You look great, now go break leg baby!" You whispered before giving her a kiss on the side of her neck.
Ellie pulled away with a smile before she reached down to grab her guitar.
"Let's go!" She heard Jesse yell.
As she stood backstage, the chants grew louder and louder.
Ellie! Ellie! Ellie!
They repeated her name as if it was a prayer. Her fans worshiped the ground she walked on.
Even though they were the golden trio, Ellie would always be the one that out shines everyone.
Ellie walked onto the stage, the bright lights were shining into her face as the crowd erupted in screams and cries.
Ellie walked to the microphone with a massive grin, as she slinged the guitar to her front. She held the microphone as she spoke.
"Good evening Brooklyn!"
The crowd was yelling as if it was their last night alive.
Ellie yelled a quick "let's fucking do this!"
As the she brought her fingers down the strum the guitar.
Jesse started playing the drums, and Dina, her backup singer started with the back up vocals.
The crowd sang along and Ellie couldn't help but smile as she saw all that she had accomplished. She was thankful for everything that everyone had done for her over the years.
But she knew she wouldn't have come this far if it wasn't for you.
They say I'm too young to love you
They say I'm too dumb to see
They judge me like a picture book
By the colors, like they forgot to read
I think we're like fire and water
I think we're like the wind and sea
You're burnin' up, I'm coolin' down
You're up, I'm down
You're blind, I see
When you and Ellie fell in love, the two of you were only 15. Everyone always told you that you and Ellie would never last. That you were too young. But yet the two of you stayed together years later.
You were never as talented as Ellie.
Where she could flourish in room filled with people, you would shy away and hide a corner.
You've always wanted to be famous. You remembered when you younger you used to watch people blow up, and wish it was you.
You wished that you could be in the spot light. But for some reason you couldn't do anything to achieve that.
You were the complete opposite of Ellie. And because you were so shy you missed so many opportunities, and you hated yourself for that.
You met Ellie when you were 9 and you fucking hated her. She was everything you were not.
She was attractive, good at playing multiple instruments and she could sing. There was no way you would be able to beat or to come close to the Ellie Williams.
But where Ellie failed, you excelled. Ellie wasn't good with organization, or management. She was quite clumsy, to be honest.
And as soon as you guys became friends you helped her. You helped her make a schedule, you helped her make posters, you helped her with everything.
The two of you were an unstoppable duo.
Where Ellie was on fire or nervous, you would always calm her down, and put out whatever she got herself into.
When Ellie told you she liked you, you knew this was a way to get in. A way to get into the industry. Ellie was your key to success, and when you agreed to date her everything became better.
She hired you as her manager, and you had control over everything.
Her reputation, what she posted, who she saw, her finances. You were in control of Ellie and she didn't even realize.
You were going to be successful, and Ellie was the perfect person to use for your plan.
I'm talking about my generation
Talking about that newer nation
And if you don't like it, you can beat it
Beat it, baby
You never liked the way I said it
If you don't get it, then forget it
Cause I don't have to fuckin' explain it
Your plan started as soon as Ellie signed the contract.
The first step was for you to become her manager and that was the easiest thing ever due to Ellie always choosing you.
She would've left that company if they didn't let her have you.
As soon as you were in control, you realized that you had to get Ellie as out there as possible.
You arranged photoshoots, and interviews and you pushed her to the limit.
At some point in Ellie's career, she took a dip. She struggled, to write songs, she struggled to do anything.
You were loosing money and you hated that.
And on one random winter night it hit you.
You needed to hurt Ellie.
You loved her, but you were never in love with her. You cared, but you loved money more.
It started with small comments, such as:
"work harder" and "you can do better" and soon after you realized that manipulating her was the best way to about this whole situation.
You convinced her, that all her friends apart from the golden trio hated her.
"Ellie they are just using you. They'll never support you, like I do"
She cut ties with all of them and she wrote beautiful songs from the heartache, of loosing her dearest friends.
You made hate accounts on social media that focused on making fun of her insecurities. And with that more and more songs came out.
You were hurting her, but it was only temporary. Hurt is temporary, money will last you a lifetime.
You'll do anything to get what you want, and nothing and no one suspected you.
How could they? You were the love of Ellies life. The person she wrote most of her songs about.
But little did Ellie know you were the reason most of her songs even happened in the first place.
Without you, Ellie would've been nothing.
And you thank god that he gave you such an easy target.
Yeah, my boyfriend's pretty cool
But he's not as cool as me
'Cause I'm a Brooklyn baby
I'm a Brooklyn baby
"Did I do good?" Ellie whisperd as she lay on your chest.
"Could've been better" you lied. She was brilliant as always. But you realized that if you break Ellie down, her music would be better.
She would have more drive, to record and to sing, and to make money. Her hurt is what made you money.
More money, and more recognition for you as her manager.
Ellie let out a sigh.
"Are you sure I should continue singing? Recently you've been disappointed in me and I don't think that's good from a professional point of view" she admitted.
Ellie would always say things like this. Sometimes, the things you would day does get to her. And I hurts, it fucking hurts. But she never saw you as bad person. You were only there to help she would say.
"Don't be sensitive Ellie" you said as you pushed her off your chest.
Ellie sat up immediately with her eyes wide.
"If you stop singing who's gonna pay the bills?" You started.
"Do you want me to end up on the street..? Remember it'll be your fault I something happens to me"
Ellie quickly shook her head.
"No, god- no,... I don't want anything to happen to you" she said.
"Then you better stop thinking about quitting, and so as I say. After all I'm you're manager-"
"and you know what's best" Ellie finished your sentence with a smile.
You gave her a smile back before you opened your arms towards her, gesturing, with your hands that she lay down.
Ellie quickly crawled back into your lap, as she lay her head back down onto your chest.
"Sorry" she spoke softly.
"Don't be sorry" you muttered as you ran your fingers through her hair.
"Just go out there and make me proud... i love you, ok?" You spoke gently as Ellie closed her eyes and hummed.
Yeah, you might been dating a superstar, but she would never outshine you.
You would always be better than Ellie. Even if it wasn't on stage.
Authors note: thank you sm for all the requests! My inbox is full of them so just know I'm working harder than the devil himself to get all of these out! Remember you are loved and to always be kind!

professor ellie has aurora sitting in on one of her classes and starts helping her teach? or like super cute like physical touch moments with professor ellie and reader??
masterlist
professor ellie masterlist
â Youâd had a rough nightâbaby crying, no sleep, and Aurora constantly asking questions.
â Ellie notices immediately. The dark circles under your eyes, the way you pause while holding the baby.
â âHey⊠why donât I take Aurora to class with me today?â she says, brushing your cheek gently.
â Aurora gasps, ecstatic. âI get to help Mama teach?!â
â Ellie crouches to her level, fixing her little backpack. âOnly if you behave like a real assistant.â
â You kiss Auroraâs forehead and mouth a thank you to Ellie, who kisses your temple back.
â Ellie straps Aurora into the car, feeds her little snacks on the way to campus, and plays gentle classical music to âget her in the professor mood.â
â Aurora brings her plush dino in her bag, insisting âheâs going to teach too.â Ellie doesnât argue.
â Ellie lets her carry her own mini clipboard and a tiny pen she found just for her.
â Before walking into the lecture hall, Ellie crouches and whispers, âYouâre gonna sit right next to me, and if anyone asks you a question, just smile like youâre very smart.â
â Aurora nods solemnly like itâs a life-or-death mission.
â Ellie gives her a lanyard with a fake name tag that says âProfessor Assistant Aurora.â
â Students walking in smile and wave at Aurora. She waves back shyly but sticks close to Ellie.
â Aurora climbs into Ellieâs lap while she boots up the projector.
â Ellie kisses the top of her head and whispers, âLetâs teach them something cool today.â
â Ellie introduces Aurora with a soft smile: âThis is Aurora, my TA for today. Please donât try to bribe her with snacksâonly Iâm allowed to do that.â
â Aurora sits in a rolling chair beside Ellie and mimics her postureâlegs crossed, arms folded.
â Whenever Ellie clicks to the next slide, she lets Aurora press the button.
â The students find it adorable. Ellie acts like itâs perfectly normal.
â Ellie occasionally leans down and whispers definitions or asks Aurora trivia questions like, âWhatâs a hypothesis?â
â Aurora proudly says, âAn educated guess,â and the class gives her soft applause.
â Ellie beams, tapping her pen on the desk in approval. âSheâs brilliant, just like her moms.â
â Ellie uses Aurora in examplesââLetâs say Aurora wants to measure how fast her dinosaur growsâŠâ
â Aurora chimes in, âHe eats gummy worms and love!â and the class laughs.
â Ellie nods seriously, adding, âTwo crucial variables.â
â During a group activity, Aurora walks around with Ellie and mimics her stanceâhands behind her back, inspecting work.
â She tells one student, âYou spelled mitochondria wrong,â (she didnât), and Ellie has to stifle a laugh.
â Ellie lets her draw on the whiteboard while the students workââonly scientific things,â she warns.
â Aurora draws a volcano and labels it âSCIENCE.â Ellie nods and adds a diagram next to it.
â Ellie checks in with you during a break, texting a picture of Aurora standing on a chair scribbling on the board.
â Aurora gets bored halfway through the second hour and starts swinging her legs.
â Ellie smoothly picks her up, sets her in her lap, and continues the lecture without missing a beat.
â Aurora plays with Ellieâs rings while she talks.
â A student asks, âIs this gonna be on the exam?â and Aurora blurts, âYes.â Ellie smirks but doesnât deny it.
â Ellie lets her âgradeâ a fake worksheet with stickers.
â Aurora drops her juicebox. Ellie sighs softly, bends down to pick it up mid-sentence, and keeps teaching.
â âThatâs just real life,â she tells the class. âWe adapt. With toddlers, and in literature.â
â Aurora asks for a snack and Ellie hands her a fruit strip like itâs part of the lesson.
â Ellie draws a heart on Auroraâs hand with her marker when she starts getting antsy.
â Aurora falls asleep in the last 10 minutes of class with her head on Ellieâs arm.
â Ellie teaches the rest of the lecture while rubbing gentle circles on Auroraâs back.
â She switches to a soft voice, almost a whisper, and her students donât dare interrupt.
â Ellie keeps her glasses low on her nose as she grades papers with Aurora tucked against her.
â When class ends, a few students thank her and whisper, âSheâs the cutest TA weâve had.â
â Ellie smiles proudly, whispering, âDonât let her hear that, sheâll want a raise.â
â You arrive just as Ellieâs packing up her briefcase and Auroraâs drooling on her shoulder.
â Ellieâs shirt is wrinkled, one sleeve smeared with juice and highlighter. âShe was excellent,â she whispers.
â You walk up, wrap your arms around Ellieâs waist from behind. âThank you.â
â Ellie tilts her head back against your shoulder. âYou look like you finally got five hours of sleep.â
â You both giggle quietly, swaying together while Aurora sleeps between you.
â You brush a strand of hair out of Ellieâs face and press a kiss to her temple.
â Ellie tugs you closer with one arm and murmurs, âI love you. Take care of yourself too, okay?â
â She gently transfers Aurora into your arms and kisses both your hands.
â âYouâre doing so good,â she whispers. âEven if it doesnât feel like it.â
â You lean in and rest your forehead against hers. The lecture hall is quiet now.
â Ellie kisses you soft, slow, careful not to wake Aurora.
â âWeâre a team,â she says. âNext week, maybe Iâll take both kids and let you sleep all day.â
â You laugh, eyes wet. âYouâre brave.â
â âIâm in love,â she answers. âThatâs even more dangerous.â
â You both watch Aurora sleep for a minute before you leave, her little hands clutching her toy dinosaur and Ellieâs lecture notes.
â Ellie keeps Auroraâs whiteboard drawings in her office nowâframed.
â She tells her colleagues it was her âco-instructorâs visual aid.â
â Students ask if Aurora can come back. âOnly if you behave,â Ellie jokes.
â Ellie comes home that night and wraps both you and the baby in her arms.
â She whispers to Aurora as she tucks her in: âYou were the best part of my class.â
â Ellie writes in her journal about itââToday felt right. Whole.â
â She kisses your shoulder before bed and murmurs, âWeâre raising geniuses.â
â You curl into her side and feel her hand stroke your back slowly.
â âThanks for helping,â you whisper. She kisses you again. âAlways.â
â Aurora wakes up at 2 a.m., asking if sheâs teaching again tomorrow. Ellie smiles sleepily. âOnly if I can be your assistant this time.â
thank you for all the love on professor ellie!

Masterlist
Ellieâs hoodie still smelled like her shampoo. You knew that because you were still wearing it, weeks after she left it on your dorm bed like it didnât mean anything.
But it did. Of course it did.
She knew it.
You knew it.
It was the only thing either of you seemed to know for sure.
You werenât dating.
You didnât kiss in public, didnât hold hands, didnât label anything. She didnât ask you not to see other peopleâbut she acted like you betrayed her if you did. You werenât hers.
But she looked at you like she hated the thought of you belonging to anyone else.
Tonight, that look was on full display.
The party was packed. Bodies pressed too close in the too-small off-campus house, and you were perched on the arm of a couch beside some guyâKieran?âlaughing because he was charming and tall and most importantly, not Ellie.
She watched you from the kitchen, beer in hand, jaw clenched so tight you thought it might crack. You saw it in the way her knuckles whitened around the bottle. In how she ignored the pretty brunette trying to flirt with her.
You knew that look. Youâd seen it in the mirror.
Kieran leaned closer, his hand resting casually on your thigh. âYouâve got that look in your eye.â
You blinked. âWhat look?â
âLike youâre trying not to look at someone.â
Your lips parted, but you didnât deny it. Just glancedâbriefly, too brieflyâtoward the kitchen. Ellie was gone.
You found her later. Out back on the steps, hoodie over her head, cigarette lit between her fingersâsomething she only did when she was pissed or spiraling. Maybe both.
âYouâre mad,â you said.
Ellie didnât look at you. âDidnât know we were playing the jealousy game tonight.â
âWeâre not.â
She exhaled smoke, bitter and sharp. âCouldâve fooled me.â
âCould say the same about you. Who was the girl in the kitchen?â
She smirked, humorless. âDidnât catch her name. Didnât matter.â
Your stomach twisted. âYouâre such a hypocrite.â
âSo are you,â she said, finally looking at you. âYou sit there smiling like youâre in love with him, but you still wear my fucking clothes.â
The silence cracked.
You stepped forward. She didnât move.
âYou left that hoodie on purpose,â you said.
âMaybe I did.â
You were close nowâclose enough to hear her breath hitch.
âWhy do you keep doing this?â
âBecause I donât know how not to want you.â
It felt like a confession, and you hated how badly you wanted to believe it.
It became a pattern. Nights out turned into emotional warfare. You flirted with people you didnât care about. Ellie showed up with girls she never looked twice at. You exchanged long, loaded glances across crowded rooms.
Neither of you made a move.
Until the night you almost did.
It was late, the party thinning out. You found her alone in someoneâs guest room, sitting on the bed with her head in her hands.
âYou okay?â you asked.
She looked up, eyes bloodshot. âNo.â
You didnât say anything. Just sat beside her. Your thighs touched. She didnât move away.
âI hate it,â she whispered. âSeeing you with someone else.â
You swallowed. âThen stop pretending you donât care.â
âI canât be with you,â she said, voice cracking. âBut I donât want you with anyone else either.â
Your breath caught. âThatâs not fair.â
âI know.â
Then she kissed you.
It wasnât gentle. It was desperate, aching, teeth and tongue and every word left unsaid. Your hands in her hair, hers on your hips, pulling you close, closer, too closeâ
Then she pulled back. âFuck. I shouldnât have done that.â
And just like that, she was gone again.
Weeks passed. You stopped texting. She stopped showing up. The hoodie stayed folded at the bottom of your drawer.
But you still saw her.
In the way your phone lit up at 2 AM with her name and no message.
In the missed glances across campus.
In the way she looked at you like she was drowning every time someone else touched your arm.
The last straw came during a house party in the city.
You were tipsy. Daring. Reckless. You kissed someone in front of her.
She left without a word.
You chased her outside. Rain had started to fall, light but cold.
âEllie!â you called. âWaitââ
She turned. Her hair was damp, her eyes furious. âWhat do you want from me?â
âI donât know!â you shouted. âI wantâI want you to stop pretending like I donât matter!â
âYou matter,â she said, voice low, trembling. âYou matter too fucking much.â
And then she kissed you again. This time slower. Angrier. Sadder.
Like a goodbye. But you didnât let go.
You ended up at her apartment, clothes wet and clinging, hands tangled in each other like lifelines. She pushed you against the door, forehead resting against yours.
âYou drive me insane,â she whispered.
âThen let me drive you insane forever.â
She didnât answer with words. Just held you like she was terrified youâd disappear.
Later, tangled in her sheets, half dressed and heart aching, you whispered:
âThis canât just be nothing anymore.â
Ellie looked at you, green eyes soft for once.
âItâs not,â she said. âItâs never been.â

masterlist
MONDAY
The first time Ellie Williams looks at you that way, you think you imagined it.
Itâs just a glance. A flicker of her eyes up your legs as you place the morning reports on her desk. But thereâs a pauseâhalf a second too long before she meets your gaze, green eyes heavy-lidded and unreadable behind wire-rimmed glasses.
âThank you,â she says. Her voice is a low hum, raspy from lack of sleep or too much coffee. Or both. You nod, trying not to look at her mouth. Trying not to notice how she licks her lower lip when she turns back to the screen.
You walk out of her glass-walled office trying not to blush, legs unsteady under your pencil skirt. You shouldnât have worn that lipstick. But the thing isâyou know what youâre doing.
And so does she.
WEDNESDAY
Ellie Williams is brilliant, successful, and terrifying. She doesnât waste time with small talk. She hates lateness. She reads contracts like theyâre storybooks and intimidates men twice her age with a single look.
Sheâs also annoyingly hot.
Youâve spent the last three weeks working under her, literally and figuratively, and she hasnât so much as smiled at you. Until now.
âShut the door,â she says one morning, not looking up from her laptop. Her voice is low, authoritative.
You close it behind you, pulse skipping.
âCome here.â
She slides a file across her glass desk. You step closer than necessary, your hand brushing hers as you take it. Itâs electric. It feels intentional.
âRead this clause,â she says, tapping a page. âTell me whatâs wrong with it.â
You lean over. She leans back in her chair, one leg crossing over the other slowly, eyes fixed not on the paperâbut on you. You can feel her stare. Your skin burns under it.
âThatâs⊠ambiguous wording,â you murmur. âIt leaves too much room for liability.â
Her lips curve just slightly. You did well.
And then she says it: âYouâre smarter than you look.â
You swallow. âYou donât know how I look.â
She raises an eyebrow. âDonât I?â
Itâs dangerous. Everything about her is. But you leave her office feeling like you just passed a test.
FRIDAY NIGHT
The building is empty.
You stayed late because she asked. A simple email: Stay after hours. Need you to help draft a response.
No âplease.â No âthank you.â But you came.
Her office is dimly lit. Just her desk lamp and the amber glow from the city skyline outside.
Ellieâs jacket is off. Her sleeves rolled up. Tattoos exposed. Her jaw tight as she types. You stand nearby, heart pounding.
âCome here,â she says again, voice lower now. Rough.
You step beside her. She gestures at the screen, scrolling through a client proposal. But her hand brushes your hip. She doesnât move it.
You donât breathe.
âYou smell like cinnamon,â she murmurs suddenly, almost distracted.
âItâs my lotion.â
âI like it.â
Thereâs silence.
You turn to herâslowly.
Ellieâs eyes flick to your lips. Your knees go weak. She leans in. So close. Not kissing. Just hoveringâlike sheâs daring you.
âIâm your boss,â she says, whispering it like a sin.
âI know,â you whisper back.
âI shouldnât want you.â
âBut you do.â
Her hand grips your hip. You donât know who kisses first.
But once her mouth is on yours, everything blurs. She pulls you onto her lap, fingers tangled in your hair, tongue sliding past your lips with a groan that makes your spine arch.
Her mouth is hot, desperate, possessive.
But the moment is short-lived. She pulls back, breathless, eyes wild.
âGet out,â she says harshly.
You freeze. âEllieââ
âI said get out.â
You leave shaking. But she doesnât stop you because she regrets it. She stops you because if you stayed, she wouldâve had you on her desk.
WEEK LATER
She avoids you all week. Short emails. Clipped instructions. Barely looks at you.
It hurts. But you understand.
Power. Rules. Risk.
Still, she calls you into her office on Thursday. You go, heart hammering.
Sheâs pacing. Frustrated.
âI canât think,â she snaps. âNot with you out there.â
You blink. âDid I do something wrong?â
Ellie stops. Looks at you like youâre the problem and the solution.
âYouâre perfect,â she whispers. âThatâs the problem.â
And then sheâs kissing you againâthis time rough, frantic. She shoves everything off her desk in one motion, making you gasp.
âSit,â she growls.
You do.
And then her mouth is on your neck, your blouse unbuttoned, her hands everywhere, as if sheâs waited months for this.
You moan her nameâsoft, breathy. She freezes.
Then she says it: âYouâre mine.â
You nod. âYes.â
You start sneaking around. Closed doors. Locked meeting rooms. Lingering touches behind your desk.
Ellie becomes obsessed.
She buys you new pens just because she saw you chewing the caps. Schedules âprivate reviewsâ that last way too long. Texts you when youâre home just to say, "Wanna come back and help me âfinish something?ââ
She doesnât date anyone else. You check. But she doesnât call you her girlfriend, either.
Power. Risk. Rules.
But in her eyesâin the way her thumb traces your lips after she kisses youâyou know.
You own her, too.
MONDAY
The worst part isnât that you kissed your boss. Itâs that you keep doing it.
Ellieâs office becomes a second home for secrets: stolen kisses, whispered confessions, shaky breaths against frosted glass. But it never goes further than thatânot fully.
Thereâs always a line.
Sometimes you think sheâs drawing it. Sometimes, you think sheâs one step from erasing it completely.
And every time she stops, the excuse is always the same.
âI canât afford to lose you.â
You donât know if she means as her assistant⊠or something more.
TUESDAY
Ellie starts acting weird.
She stares at you when she thinks you donât notice. She double-texts you at night, then apologizes. Her fingers shake slightly when you hand her coffee. But she still never says what she wants.
And youâre getting tired of pretending.
âAre we going to talk about this?â you finally ask, one evening after everyoneâs left. Youâre leaning in her office doorway, arms crossed. Sheâs behind her desk, eyes on her screen but clearly distracted.
She doesnât look at you.
âThereâs nothing to talk about.â
âEllie.â
Now she looks up. Her jaw tightens.
âItâs dangerous,â she says quietly. âThis is my company. Youâre my employee. If anyone finds outââ
âIâd be the one who gets fired,â you cut in.
Her face shifts. There it is. The truth.
âI would never let that happen,â she says, voice low and deadly. âYou have no idea what Iâd do to protect you.â
You step forward slowly. âThen stop hiding me.â
She looks like she wants to say something. Instead, she stands. Walks around her desk. Stops a breath away. Her hand brushes your wrist.
And she whispers: âI donât hide you. I hide us. Because once people know, theyâll want to take you from me.â
Thereâs something unhinged in her voice. Soft, but sharp. Like sheâs thought about it too much. Like sheâs scared of how far sheâd go.
FRIDAY
You try to act normal.
Emails. Schedules. Morning coffee runs. But Ellie keeps breaking the façade. She calls you in five times for "review." Never talks about work. Just stares at you. Sometimes says something ridiculous like, âYou wore that on purposeâ or âI had a dream about you.â
And then there are the nights. Her texts turn softer, needier.
Ellie: Are you in bed?
Ellie: Can I call?
Ellie: Just wanna hear your voice.
You let her. And when she breathes your name into the phone, quiet and rough, it makes your heart ache. Because this doesnât feel casual anymore. It feels like itâs killing her to keep you a secret.
SUNDAY
You show up to her apartment for the first time.
Ellie doesnât even pretend to play it cool. She opens the door in a black tee and sweatpants, hair a mess, eyes tired like she hasnât slept in days.
âYou came.â
âYou asked me to.â
She pulls you in without a word. Kisses you like itâs oxygen. Like sheâs been holding her breath all week.
You donât leave until 3AM.
Thereâs no sex. Just tangled limbs. Soft kisses. Ellieâs head resting on your chest like she needs to be near your heartbeat.
You stroke her hair, whispering, âWhy do you make this so hard?â
And her answer is quiet. âBecause if I ever lost you, Iâd never recover.â
WEDNESDAY
It happens. You get caught.
You didnât even notice the door was cracked open.
You were leaning on her desk, Ellie between your legs, her hand up your thigh, whispering something filthy against your neck.
And someoneâprobably an internâsaw it.
You donât find out until later, when HR sends Ellie a request for a "private meeting." That afternoon, Ellie storms into your little cubicle, eyes wild, pulse in her throat.
âWeâre not hiding anymore,â she says, grabbing your hand in front of the whole floor.
âEllieââ
âLet them talk. Let them guess. I donât give a damn.â
She pulls you into her office, slams the door, and kisses you like itâs the only thing that matters.
And that night, she finally takes you home againâbut this time, thereâs no restraint.
This time, she makes love to you like sheâs claiming territory. Like sheâs trying to memorize everything, in case the world tries to take it away.
ONE WEEK LATER
Ellie is pacing. You're seated across her office, legs crossed, heart pounding.
âYouâre not just my secretary anymore,â she says. âYou havenât been for a while.â
You look at her. âSo what now?â
She stops. Walks to you. Kneelsâyes, kneelsâbetween your legs and rests her head in your lap.
âWe rewrite the rules.â
You card your fingers through her hair.
âAnd if they fire you?â you ask
Ellie looks up at you with that same fire in her eyes.
âThey wonât. But if they do? Iâll build my own damn company. Put your name on the front. Hire myself as your assistant.â
You laugh. You kiss her.
And you both know youâre done pretending.
MONDAY
It starts with a look. Ellie walks in lateâcoffee in hand, sleeves rolled up, jaw sharpâand heads straight to your desk. She pauses. Leans down.
You think sheâs going to whisper something.
But no.
She presses a soft kiss to your cheek.
Right there. In front of everyone. You freeze. So does the office.
Conversations stop. Keyboards go quiet. Someone drops their pen.
Ellie stands up straight, totally unfazed.
âGood morning, baby,â she says like itâs the most normal thing in the world.
And then she heads to her office. Just like that, everyone knows.
By lunch, the office is buzzing.
âDid you see that?â
âI thought she was single.â
âIsnât that her boss?â
âThereâs no way thatâs allowed.â
âI heard they were already hooking up for weeks.â
You try to focus on your screen, but itâs impossible. Every glance in your direction lingers too long. You hear your name more in whispered tones than anyone should in a professional setting.
But Ellie? She acts like itâs nothing. Like she hasnât just lit the entire building on fire with one kiss.
The next day, HR calls Ellie in again. You sit at your desk, sick with anxiety.
She walks out 30 minutes later, face unreadable. You follow her to her office, shut the door behind you.
âWhat happened?â
She exhales. âTheyâre not happy. But technically, I didnât break any rules.â
âTechnically?â
She shrugs. âWeâre adults. Consensual. No direct coercion or manipulation. I didnât promote you or change your pay. Legally, they canât fire either of us.â
âBut theyâre watching now,â you murmur.
Ellie steps closer. âLet them.â
You overhear two coworkers talking about you in the breakroom later that week. Something crude. Something about how âyou must be really good at keeping her attentionâ if the boss is that obsessed.
You walk out before they see you. Embarrassed. Furious. Ellie notices immediately.
âWhatâs wrong?â
âNothing,â you lie.
She doesnât believe you. Of course she doesnât. Twenty minutes later, you hear her voiceâraisedâfrom down the hall.
âSay it again. I dare you.â
You stand up. Heart racing. Ellieâs got one of the men cornered, towering over him with a calm, cold fury that could freeze lava.
âSheâs smarter than everyone in this damn building. And if I hear you speak about her like that again, you wonât be working here anymore.â
He stammers. Apologizes. She doesn't back off.
âSheâs not just mineâsheâs the best thing about this place.â
The entire office hears.
Youâre both in her car. The sun is setting. Youâre quiet. Ellieâs gripping the steering wheel a little too tight.
âI shouldnât have done that,â she mutters. âIâm sorry.â
âWhy are you sorry?â
She looks at you.
âBecause I want to protect you so badly it scares me.â
You reach over, touch her arm.
âIâve never had anyone stand up for me like that.â
She exhales slowly.
âIâm yours,â you whisper.
And Ellieâtough, stoic Ellieâcloses her eyes like sheâs holding back tears.
âIâve been yours since the first day you walked into my office,â she confesses.
THURSDAY
You didnât think sheâd go public with it. But she does.
At the company-wide meeting, Ellie is cool and composed as ever. She addresses the quarterly goals, talks profits and projections. Then, at the end:
âOne more thing.â
She glances at you.
âI want to address the elephant in the room. Yes, Iâm in a relationship with my secretary. Itâs not a secret anymore. And if anyone has a problem with it, take it up with HR. Or better yet, with me.â
Silence.
Then applause. Actual applause. Youâre stunned.
She doesnât smile. Doesnât wink. Just steps down, professional and poised, like she didnât just dismantle the gossip mill with a single announcement.
Later, in her office, she pulls you in by the waist and murmurs, âTheyâre never touching you. Not even with words.â
Ellie books a meeting room. Not for work. Just to eat lunch with you away from the eyes. She brings you your favorite sandwich. Sits close. Hands brushing under the table.
âIs this okay?â she asks quietly. âI know itâs messy.â
You smile. âIâd sit under your desk again if I had to.â
Ellie laughsâreal, unguarded.
Then she leans in. Presses a kiss to your knuckles.
âIâm not letting them shame us. Youâre not a secret. Youâre everything.â
MONDAY
Things have mostly gone back to normal.
Wellâoffice normal. People donât whisper quite as loudly anymore. HR stopped breathing down Ellieâs neck. And youâve found a quiet rhythm with herâsneaking kisses in her office, flirty texts during boring meetings, soft nights tangled in her sheets. But there's still a tension in the air. Like somethingâs waiting to snap.
Like youâre both still holding back.
TUESDAY
His nameâs Jordan. New hire. Tech department.
Cute in a safe, unthreatening wayâgelled hair, bright smile, button-ups that are a little too fitted. Heâs harmless. Probably.
Until he starts showing up at your desk. First itâs innocent. A shared joke. A smile. Then it escalates.
âYouâve got the prettiest eyes in this whole office.â
You glance up from your computer. âThanks.â
âBet thatâs how you got hired, huh?â he laughs, like itâs funny.
You go cold. âExcuse me?â
âI meanâcâmon. The boss is, like, obsessed with you. Canât blame her.â
You stand up. âThatâs completely inappropriate.â
He just smirks. âRelax. Itâs a compliment.â
You donât even answer. You walk. Straight to Ellieâs office.
You barely shut the door before her voice sharpens. âWhat happened?â
You tell her everything. Sheâs already grabbing her jacket before you finish.
âIâll talk to him,â you say quickly. âYou donât have toââ
But her eyes have darkened.
âI do have to. Because he crossed a line and because youâre mine.â
You swallow.
âEllieââ
âNo. Iâm done being polite.â
The entire office is silent again.
Ellieâs voice slices through the air like a blade.
âI donât care if youâre new or stupid or both. You donât talk to her like that. You donât look at her like that. You donât breathe near her unless she wants you to.â
Jordan stammers. Ellie steps closer.
âSheâs not your peer. Sheâs not your flirt project. Sheâs mine. And if you canât understand what respect looks like, youâll be out of a job faster than you can blink.â
Jordan nods, practically shaking. Youâve never seen her like this.
Furious. Cold. Protective.
And so, so in love.
She slams her office door shut. You sit quietly.
Ellieâs pacing. Her hands run through her hair, jaw clenched. She wonât even look at you.
âAre you okay?â you ask gently.
She stops.
âI hate it,â she whispers. âI hate the idea of someone touching you. Someone thinking they have a right to you.â
âEllieââ
âNo. Iâve been trying so fucking hard not to say it.â
You freeze. She walks up to you slowly. Cups your face in both hands.
âBut Iâm in love with you.â
Your breath catches.
âI didnât want to scare you,â she murmurs. âDidnât want to say it too soon. But I love you. And Iâd burn this whole company down if someone hurt you.â
Your heart is racing.
âSay it again.â
She leans in, forehead to yours.
âI love you.â
You kiss her like youâve been dying to for weeks. Deep. Grateful. Starving. And when you pull back, breathless, your smile is shaking.
âI love you too.â
Ellieâs whole body relaxes. Like sheâs been waiting to exhale for months.
Youâre at her place. Youâre in her bed, skin warm from her touch, her fingers brushing your bare spine.
Ellie whispers into your hair: âYouâre mine. And not because Iâm your boss. Not because you work for me. Because I chose you.â
You whisper it back. And when she falls asleep with her arms around you, you realize something:
You were never under her desk. You were always under her skin.
FRIDAY, 6:42 P.M
The office is nearly empty.
Itâs the end of the quarter. People went home early. Laughter and footsteps faded around 5:00. The air has that hollow, humming stillness that only comes after hours. Fluorescent lights dimmed. Elevator chimes long gone.
You should go home. You both should.
But Ellieâs door is closed. And your back is pressed to it.
Her mouth is on your neck, hot and open and needy.
You moan quietly, hands fisting the front of her shirt, body arching as her thigh presses between your legs, her grip firm at your waist.
âEllie,â you whisper. âSomeone couldââ
âShh.â Her voice is low, rough. Her lips brush your ear. âTheyâre all gone.â
You glance toward the glass panels. Sheâs pulled the blinds halfway, but itâs still risky.
And yet⊠You donât stop her.
You're sitting on the edge of her desk now. Skirt bunched. Blazer long gone.
Ellieâs shirt is openâcollar popped, chest rising fast. Sheâs in her chair between your knees, one hand gripping your thigh, the other sliding dangerously high.
âLook at me,â she commands softly.
You do.
God, you do.
Because Ellie in the office chairâtie loosened, hair mussed, eyes heavy with lustâis your undoing.
âYou always sit here like this when youâre typing,â she murmurs, dragging her fingers up your inner thigh. âAnd you expect me to focus?â
âEllieââ you gasp.
Her fingers brush against your soaked underwear. She smiles.
âSuch a fucking distraction.â
You kiss her hard, teeth knocking. Desperate. Uncoordinated. Hot.
Then she slips her fingers beneath the lace andâ
âHey, boss, Iâoh my Godââ
You jolt.
Ellie jerks away, instantly on her feet, shielding you with her body. Your heart is pounding. Face flushed. Skirt still hiked. Her hands still warm on your hips.
In the doorway: Jordan. Eyes wide. Frozen.
âGET. OUT.â Ellieâs voice is a snarl.
He stammers, backs out, slams the door behind him.
Youâre gasping.
Ellieâs jaw is clenched so hard, you think it might crack.
You fix your clothes in a daze. Ellie watches you. Still breathing heavily. Still angry.
âIâm sorry,â you whisper. âThat was reckless.â
She walks up behind you. Wraps her arms around your waist. Buries her face in your shoulder.
âI donât regret it.â
You turn, eyes meeting hers.
âAre you okay?â
She nods. âIâm going to kill him.â
âEllieââ
âNot literally. Probably.â
You laugh, a little shakily. She presses her forehead to yours.
âI canât keep my hands off you.â
âI donât want you to.â
MONDAY
The entire office knows. Again.
Jordanâs quiet. Pale. Avoids you like the plague. Ellie calls a full department meeting. Not for disciplineâbut for clarity.
She looks every single employee dead in the eye and says: âYes. Weâre together. Yes, itâs serious. No, itâs not casual. And if anyone thinks about violating our privacy again, I will escalate it to legal.â
You feel the burn of her protectiveness long after she finishes speaking.
She pulls you into her office. Locks the door. This time, just to kiss you slow.
âMaybe I should move you out of the secretary role,â she murmurs. âNot because of the rumors. Because I need you closeâand this isnât sustainable.â
âAre you firing me as your secretary?â
âIâm promoting you,â she says with a smirk. âTo something safer. Something that means I donât have to hold back.â
Your heart flutters.
âIs that even allowed?â
âIâm the boss,â she says. âItâs whatever I say it is.â
