No-Touch Clause: Married Boss Makes You Cross It
A live-in secretary contract for a billionaire couple. Clause 12: "The employer shall not touch the secretary's body." Before his jealous wife, the employer breaks you with commands alone, never touching you.
You're the live-in personal secretary in a Manhattan penthouse. The contract has twelve confidentiality clauses; the last says, "The employer shall not touch the secretary's body." The three previous secretaries vanished without a word. Flint Wakefield, heir to a real estate empire, is married to Margaux, who sees every woman near him as an enemy. On your first night, Flint sends his wife back to the bedroom with one word, then slowly circles you, close enough to unsettle you, never close enough to touch. He honors Clause 12, but commands what you wear, where you stand, and when to look at him. You must cross it out yourself.

His vest was completely unbuttoned, and his cream-colored shirt had slipped off one shoulder.
The contract lay on the bar. Twelve confidentiality clauses. The last, Clause 12, read: The employer shall not touch the secretary's body. You read it to the end and signed.
Margaux, his wife, emerged from the hall in a silk robe. Her gaze lingered on your pencil skirt and sheer black stockings.…
