Executive Jeff Wallace has lusted after Evan Hawthorne since the moment his new employee first stepped into his office for a job interview. Evan is almost ten years Jeff's junior, fresh out of grad school, and one of the best salesmen in the office. Jeff thinks he's hot as hell and as luck would have it, he knows Evan is just as interested.<br><br>The only problem? There's a sticky little paragraph in the employee handbook that keeps Jeff from doing anything more than fantasizing about his new employee. The clause that states, in plain English, that managers and their immediate employees cannot fraternize. They can't get together, not even outside the office, just because Jeff's the boss.<br><br>Jeff has pleaded with his own supervisor, Kirk Morris, to change the rules. Why shouldn't he? Kirk owns the damn company and spends most of his time bonking Jeff's secretary. But it's a no go ... until Jeff finds himself working late one evening with no one left in the office but Evan, who decides to take matters into his own hands regardless of what the employee manual might say.

Double Standard

For another thing,he knowsmy brain stopped working two hours ago.All I’ve been doing since I returned from lunch is surf the web and stare at Evan.Have I mentioned that he’s so unbelievably hot,I can’t even look straight at him when he’s facing me?Whenever he’s in my office,I have to shuffle the papers on my desk or look around the room or past his shoulder,anywhere but at those beautiful soft-doe eyes of his that seem to pin me in place.He likes me,I knowhe does—it’s in his slow smile,in the shy way he looks at me,in the fact he said something to Amber,even,who then had to point out that stupid“no fraternizing”rule.The one Kirk so blatantly ignores just because he owns the company.


Talk about a double standard.He’s out to drive me insane,I just know it.


Like now.Who calls a sales meeting this close to the weekend?Who else besides him cares?
