“Flatulence.”

Her eyes widened. “Well, you’re right, that would be embarrassing, but that’s not it.” She took another bite of chocolate. “Maybe I misled you. What I’m experiencingshouldn’tbe embarrassing, but somehow it would be embarrassing for me to admit it toyou.”

“Hmm…” I tapped my fingers against the counter. “Okay, well, I guess I’ll have to continue to make educated guesses, then.”

When she licked chocolate off her bottom lip, I had the sudden urge to do the same. That was my cue to leave the room. “Let me find you a shirt to sleep in,” I said.

I rummaged around and found one of my largest T-shirts hanging in my wardrobe. I returned to the kitchen and handed it to her.

She held it out in front of her. “This will fit me like a dress. Awesome.”

I pointed. “The guest room is the last door on the right down the hall.”

“Thanks,” Abby said before leaving the kitchen.

I put our water glasses in the dishwasher, unsure whether she was coming back out. But then I turned to find her standing in the kitchen again, wearing my shirt. I could see the form of her breasts clearly through it, as well as her nipples poking slightly at the cotton fabric. My dick stirred.

“Thanks for this.” She looked down at herself. “Really sweet of you.”

“Like the cinnamon roll I am.” I winked. “I’m sure your coworkers would disagree, though.”

“Do you want to know what they think of you? I’ve been holding back a bit.”

“I don’t need to—”

“The guys take issue with your attitude, mostly. But the women all think you’re hot, so they cut you more slack.” Her cheeks turned pink. “I can’t say I blame them. As much of a dick as you can be sometimes, you are a very good-looking man, Sigmund. That can’t be denied.”

I said nothing, but managed to keep my mouth from falling open.

She cleared her throat. “They have a lot of sympathy for you because of your…circumstances. It makes you more appealing, you know? That’s what I gathered tonight.” She looked into my eyes. “I’m impressed that you never capitalized on your power and dated any of those women. A couple of them are very pretty.”

“I don’t date.”

“That’s right. I should say I’m surprised you’ve neverentertainedany of them and kicked them out of your apartment after.”

“I have no trouble finding attractive women elsewhere,” I assured her. “I don’t need to be shagging my employees. I don’t shit where I eat.”

She nodded. “Makes sense.”

“That would be inappropriate in any case.”

“Inappropriate…” She tilted her head. “Sort of like dating two women at once, both who know about each other?”

I rolled my eyes. “There was nothing wrong with that as long as they were okay with it.”

“I’m just kidding.” She blushed.

“You bring up the Marias a lot. Sounds like you’re still judging me for it.”

“I’m absolutelynotjudging you. A harem is nice work, if you can get it. More power to you. I mean, I wouldneverbe okay with that—regardless of your self-proclaimed ability to make both women feel wanted. The idea of it is just…ick.” She laughed. “Although, I might get down with a reverse-harem scenario.”

“Oh yeah?”

“Maybe with Alistair and Sean.” She winked, clearly trying to push my buttons.

It was working.She-devil.

Abby broke out into laughter. “Oh my God. I swear you have steam coming out of your ears right now. I’m totally kidding.”
