“Same. Here,” I said as we both came again.

I realized that there was a buzzing in my head aside from the afterglow, but it wasn’t ecstasy. Mr. Buzzy was still going nuts on my floor from where Lucah had tossed him.

I rolled over, picked him up and turned him off.

“You’re amazing, and someday, you’re going to teach me how to use that on you.”

“Sure thing.” I patted him on the shoulder.

We lay together quietly for a while, and I had to bring up something that had been burning in the back of my mind.

“What are we going to do about work?” His fingers walked up and down my stomach.

“I don’t know. Do you have any brilliant ideas in that sexy brain of yours?” he said.

“Nothing that doesn’t involve one of us getting a different job, and that’s a sacrifice I don’t think I can make. I feel like if I were to leave, or change my job that I’d end up resenting you and I can’t have that. I want us to work, and if one of us resents the other, it won’t. It would eat away and soon we’d be doing nothing but fighting.”

“True. Okay. So is there any way to get around the no-dating policy? Is there anyone who’s done it before?”

“Um, yes. There were two people who worked in customer service that tried to date in secret and then got found out. They had to declare their relationship and one had to switch departments. They broke up within a few months at the company Christmas party. It was ugly. People still talk about it and that was four years ago.” I did not want that to happen to us.

“But those people aren’t you and me.”

“True.”

We were coming up empty.

“Have you thought, I’m just going to throw this out here, that maybe you could tell your dad? He might have some advice and he would be able to keep it on the down low.”

I shook my head without even considering it.

“No, I can’t put Dad in a position like that. He’d end up lying to everyone and . . . no. I can’t. Besides, he would probably kill you. Or fire you. Or both.”

“I’m not that scared of the firing, it’s the killing that makes me a little nervous. Okay, so that’s out.” I rolled over and flicked his nipple ring.

“So we’re left with one option. Keeping this a secret until something changes. As soon as you get promoted, which you will, then we can go forward. But for right now we’re secret lovers.” He started humming the song and that made me laugh, but we still had the specter of keeping our relationship secret.

“I feel like I should get that contract out again and make you sign it,” I said.

“That was pretty funny. I’ll never forget your face when you shredded it. I think I fell a little in love with you right then. Who knew a shredder could be so sexy?”

“Yeah, well, you concentrate really sexy. Like when you’re reading something and I can see you making calculations in your head, Ooohh baby.” I fanned myself.

“I don’t know how I’m going to contain my affections for you, but I’ll do my best, boss.”

“You’d better, sexcretary.”

I set my red shoe paperweight and my WORLD’S GREATEST BOSS mug on my desk the next day and made sure they were in full view for Lucah to see them. He brought over some reports and there was a note on the top of the stack that said, nice mug. I assumed he was talking about the boss mug, but I couldn’t be absolutely sure.

Dad called me again and asked me to come down when I had a moment. The end of the month reports had just been posted, so I was sure that was what it was about. I got up from my desk and stopped at Lucah’s before I went to see Dad so he didn’t worry.

“Be right back. Meeting with Dad. Don’t panic.” I gave him a wink before walking down the hall and knocking on Dad’s door.

“Come in.”

I walked in and he was staring at piece of paper.
