READY FOR THE BOSS by Anna DePalo

 

50 SHADES OF SEXY BLOG TOUR

August 1 – September 20

 

 

Emily walked into the office with her head down.  How does a woman follow up blogging about pubic hair?

“How was the Brazilian?”

Emily stifled a groan as her head jerked up.  Of course, her boss would be the first person she ran into.  “Can we leave the locker room out of this?”

Cameron grinned. “The football team didn’t get Brazilians.”

“Am I supposed to read a double meaning in that one?”

“I’ve never dated a beauty queen.”

“Not even a cheerleader?”

“Nope.”

Her heart fluttered.  No, no, and no.  Former Mr. Captain of the Football Team was still off limits. 

“Aren’t you the least afraid of sexual harassment charges?” she parried.

Cameron sobered.  “It’s not harassment if you’re writing a blog.”

“At your request.”

“It’s a good business decision,” he defended, his eyes crinkling.  “I didn’t think we’d get to the Brazilian on the second date—uh, post—though.”

“I had to come up with something!”

He arched a brow.  “How’s it going with your Mr. Hypothetical?  I thought for sure you’d be talking about the hypothetical third base in your blog.”

She deliberately widened her eyes.  “You played baseball, too?”

“Play.  Present tense.  I’m still in the game.”

For her peace of mind, she fervently wished he wasn’t anymore, but at thirty-four, he was still hot.  Very hot.
