to decipher exactly what she was saying. “I’m sorry. Do you mean you just haven’t tried our products, or…you’ve never tried any sex toys at all?”
    She let out a frustrated sigh. “I’m not saying I’ve never used them, it’s just that…I’m sorry…how is any of this important?”
    “It’s important if you’re helping to design them, don’t you think?” Though he loved to see her blush, he wasn’t trying to embarrass her. His concerns were valid—and it had nothing to do with the fact that his cock was forever hard in her presence.
    “It is important. You’re right, of course.” She steeled herself, standing a little taller as her eyes met his, even if he could see her breath catch and her nipples go hard against the delicate silk of her blouse, their discussion clearly having an effect on her. “I’ll be sure to acquaint myself more thoroughly with the products. Was there anything else you needed? I really need to get back so I can finish my work and wrap up for the day.”
    Marshall’s lips quirked into a smile. “Actually, there is one more thing, Ms. Jones.”

 
     
     
    Chapter Two
     
    Harper tried to remind herself that the sexy god of a man standing before her was her boss , and the conversation they were having was nothing but work . He wasn’t flirting with her, even if her silly schoolgirl crush made her want to believe otherwise.
    It had been so incredibly long since she’d last been with anyone that her body’s reaction to Marshall was always immediate each and every time they bumped into each other, the mere sight of him enough to send her pulse skittering. And today’s conversation? Well, that had her heart rattling and her cheeks flaming red, even as she tried to push aside the guilt she always felt when she thought of someone other than Josh.
    Doing her best, she tried to focus on work and what Marshall was asking of her. “One more thing?”
    He gave her a smile that sent a tingling warmth through her body and right to her core, making her go wet with desperate need. “I’d like you to try our products and get back to me about each one. What you liked, didn’t like, how we could make it better. General impressions. And you’ll be reporting back directly to me. Pick a product, take it home, and come see me first thing in the morning. I’ll speak to your supervisor about it.”
    “But…” She all but stammered as her mind raced, trying to find a way out of the assignment. How the hell was she supposed to go home, masturbate, and then come back and give Marshall a report, when she couldn’t even have a conversation with him without blushing?
    Marshall took her hand in his and hauled her to her feet so there was just a breath between them, her full curves brushing against him as her breath caught in her chest. He was so close, so muscular, so tall …and when he leaned in just a little more with his head bent to hers, it was all she could do not to kiss him.
    With his mouth at her ear, his words and the warmth of his breath sent a tingling shiver of need down her spine and straight to her clit, making her wish he’d take her right then and there. “Tomorrow, Ms. Jones. And make sure you’re capable of giving me a thorough report.”
    Harper sucked in a deep breath to try to steady her racing heart, but it only filled her head with his masculine scent, so it took every ounce of willpower she had not to lean into him, not to tangle her fingers in his hair and cover his mouth in a greedy kiss.
    Somehow she managed to string a few words together on a ragged breath, making it impossible for her to disguise just how bad she wanted him. “As you wish.”
    What the hell had she gotten herself into?
    When Ben, one of her engineering friends, had landed a job working for Titan Adult, one of Clio’s competitors over in California, she’d thought he was insane—until he told her that Clio was hiring in her neck of the woods. The easy commute, great pay, and amazing
