My CEO After Dark
Kate is a workaholic Wall Street analyst whose body has stopped cooperating. After a clinic mix-up, she meets Landon — the stranger who becomes her unexpected recovery partner. He can't sleep without intimacy. She needs it to restart her body. So they make a deal: no feelings, no strings, just a temporary arrangement. But the one person who makes them feel alive is hiding the biggest secret of all. Landon isn't just her recovery partner. He's her new CEO.
Story Guide
Episode 1
Kate is a 26-year-old Wall Street analyst running on sixteen-hour days and vending-machine meals — and her body is filing complaints. Her mother Pam has zero patience for it, pushing her to pick a man and warning that her ovaries are retiring early.
Pam's version of help is a blind setup with the neighbor boy, which sends Kate bolting for the door. Then a clinic mix-up leaves her reading a medical report that recommends something unexpected: safe, consensual physical intimacy to ease anxiety and support sleep.
Kate calls it "weirdly efficient." The catch is, the report isn't hers.
Episode 2
Someone is trying to track down a missing medical report, and the file is listed under a different name — so it can't be tied back to its owner. Kate, meanwhile, is still holding that report and reading it out loud.
The overlap is hard to miss: one report says physical intimacy helps with sleep, the other says it may help with hormone balance. Then comes the pitch — would she be open to a mutually beneficial adult arrangement?
Kate repeats the phrase back, stunned. It's a strange offer from a stranger, and neither of them has admitted what they're really hoping to get out of it.
Episode 3
The offer gets a name: recovery partners. No feelings, no expectations, just the physical part — confidential, and over the moment their symptoms improve. Kate calls it "tentative approval" and hands over her number.
He gives a name too, though not the whole truth, and she mentions she just transferred from the LA office into investment research. What she doesn't know is that the man texting her a motel room number is her new CEO.
Kate waits at the motel, half-convinced she's being ghosted. Will he actually show?
Episode 4
Landon arrives at the motel with his guard up, and his mind races. A recovery-partner setup this elaborate — did the board really go this far, or is Kate a corporate spy? Either way, he wants to see what she's really after.
Inside, Kate is spiraling too: twenty-six, overworked, underpaid, and now apparently stood up. Then the knock comes. Flustered, she opens the door and invites him in.
Neither of them knows the other's real game yet — and the room is about to get very awkward.
Episode 5
Kate takes charge in her own nervous way: shower first, then sit down, because this is medical and necessary. She asks about logistics — preferred positions, boundaries — and admits she has little practical experience, though she's done some research.
Landon, meanwhile, is scanning the room for hidden cameras, certain she's setting him up. When nerves get the better of him, Kate doesn't soften. She suggests that if he can't perform, she'll find someone else.
That lands exactly where you'd expect. Now he has something to prove — and she has no idea who she's really talking to.
Episode 6
The bravado cracks. Kate admits she's sick, that her mom jokes about it but cries when she thinks Kate is asleep, and that she hates being the reason Pam worries. Work is the one place she has a shot: ten firms applied to, one chance given, probation almost cleared.
Then the moment turns. An accidental bite, an unexpected tongue, and Kate confesses something more embarrassing than any medical report — at twenty-six, she's never really been kissed.
Landon doesn't laugh. He tells her not to panic, and offers to show her. The deal was supposed to be no feelings. This doesn't look like no feelings.
Episode 7
The lesson doesn't stay a lesson. Kate wants to find out what else she's good at, and Landon gives her an out — tell him if she wants to stop.
It's the first time either of them has put the other's choice ahead of the arrangement, and it changes the temperature of the whole deal. The rules were simple on paper: no strings, no attachment, end it when the symptoms improve. But Kate still doesn't know the man teaching her to kiss is the CEO she's trying to impress at work.
One secret is still standing between them — and it's only a matter of time before the office finds out. Start this one tonight and see how long they can keep it hidden.
