Overview

Ari never should have agreed to this. All he wanted was to help his friend. But when he’s volunteered to act as a temp in her stead, he realized he should have been more specific about what he was willing to do for her. Especially when he got several warnings about the grumpy demon he’d be working with. Surely he could get out of this. Right?

Xander didn’t need a temporary assistant. He could handle things on his own while his regular assistant was away on maternity leave. Tell that to his boss, who hired someone behind his back. A beautiful someone who was criminally shy and made Xander want to hold him close and protect him from the world. Those kinds of thoughts wouldn’t do. He was a professional and Ari was only here temporarily. He could control himself around the sweet man. Hopefully.
