Nights With My CEO

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 Morris is 26, a Wall Street analyst working 16 hours a day and eating sadness from a vending machine — and her body has started sending shutdown notices. Her mother, Pam, has zero patience for any of it. "Your only job is to pick a man," Pam declares, then brings the neighbor boy, Luke, through the door as the main course.

Kate escapes to work, where she finds a medical report: safe, consensual physical intimacy may reduce anxiety and support sleep. Hormones too. Weirdly efficient, she admits.

Then a stranger makes an offer that sounds almost clinical — and not at all like a coincidence.

Episode 2

The clinic is still trying to locate a missing medical report, and someone on the phone is quietly relieved: the file is listed under "River," not a legal name, so nobody should be able to connect it to him.

Meanwhile, Kate is reading the CEO's medical file — a bold career move, by any measure. But she notices something: his report says physical intimacy helps with sleep. Hers says it may help with hormone balance. There's overlap.

So he asks the question straight: would she be open to a mutually beneficial adult arrangement? Kate's answer is just two words — "Adult arrangement?"

Episode 3

He reframes it fast: not an affair, recovery partners. Doctor-recommended treatment, technically. No feelings, no expectations, just the physical part — confidential, and over once the symptoms improve. No attachment.

Kate wants logistics. He suggests a motel, somewhere cheaper than Wall Street. She calls that tentative approval. Numbers get exchanged; he'll text the room. She introduces herself as Kate, just transferred from the LA office into investment research.

He gives his name as River. What she doesn't know: she's standing in front of her new CEO. He watches her go, wondering if she'll actually show.

Episode 4

Landon is moving too fast for her legs to keep up — until the text lands: Wall Street Grand, room 1401. See you soon.

But Landon's mind is racing somewhere else entirely. A recovery partner, set up out of nowhere? Did the board really go this far — or is she a corporate spy? Either way, she just asked her own CEO for a hookup. He decides to find out what she's really after.

Kate is spiraling: 26, overworked, underpaid, and now getting ghosted. Then the door opens. "Hi, would you like to come in?"

Episode 5

Inside room 1401, Landon's suspicion wars with the obvious: he came here to figure out what she wanted, so why is he the one taking a shower?

Kate, meanwhile, is all business. Have a seat. It's medical. It's necessary. Don't hesitate. Then she starts asking about logistics — preferred positions, boundaries — and admits she doesn't have much practical experience. She watched some things lately, though. Feedback welcome.

One more thing: did he brush his teeth?

Landon spots a hidden camera recording device. When things stall, Kate delivers the knife: if he can't perform, she'll find someone else.

Episode 6

The bravado cracks. Kate admits she's sick — her mom jokes about it, but Kate knows she cries when she thinks Kate is asleep. She hates being the reason Pam worries. Ten different firms, and only one gave her a chance. She's close to making it past probation. If she can't even fix herself, what is she good at?

Then an accidental bite. An unexpected tongue thing. They reset.

"First kiss, is it that obvious?" Kate asks. Her mom throws parties; Kate reads textbooks. Somehow, at 26, she missed the entire kissing chapter. He tells her not to panic — he'll show her.

Episode 7

The awkwardness finally tips into something warmer. Kate wants to find out what else she's good at — and she tells him plainly: tell me if you want to stop.

It's a small line, but it's the first moment the deal stops feeling like a contract and starts feeling like trust. Two people who can't sleep, can't switch off, can't quite admit what they're actually chasing.

He's still hiding that he's her CEO. She's still hiding how close she is to breaking. And the arrangement they swore would stay clinical is already anything but.

Watch it and see how long "no feelings" actually lasts.
