A man popped out of the cake. No, not just any man. This was a gorgeous man. Six feet of pure muscle. Dark hair. And the bluest eyes I’d ever seen.

Oh my God.Chastity had really done it. She’d hired a stripper for a baby reveal.

I considered tackling him back into the cake before he could rip his pants off. But he actually kept his clothes on. Instead he yelled, “It’s a boy!” and threw blue confetti in the air.

“I thought for sure he was gonna be a stripper,” I whispered to Chastity.

“He might be,” she said. “Hell, I hope he is. But I didn’t hire him.”

“Then who is he?”

“Maybe your future husband. It’s about time you start talking to men again.” She shoved me towards him. Hard. In sneakers I would have kept my balance just fine. But in my sky-high Odegaards, it was a completely different story. I stumbled andreached out to break my fall…by grabbing onto the guy. His butt, to be precise. And my face went into his crotch.

He grabbed me with one of his strong hands and helped me to my feet.

“Nice to meet you,” I said, pretending like I hadn’t just molested his ass and rubbed my face on his crotch.

“The pleasure is all mine,” he said, his beautiful blue eyes dancing with amusement. “Is that always how you greet people?”

“Yup.”

He stuck out his hand. “Xander Frost.”

“Cool.” I slapped his hand as if it was part of some secret handshake and then ran back to Chastity.Cool? What the hell is wrong with me?!

“How’d it go?” she asked.

“Terrible!” It probably should have been Incident #7, but I promised myself I wouldn’t have any more incidents. I’d just have to bury this memory somewhere deep inside of me and never think of it again.

Chastity frowned. “Damn. Small dick?”

“What?”

“I mean, you put your face all over it. I figured you’d at least have some idea of how big it is. Bold move, by the way. To pretend to fall.”

“I wasn’t pretending!” I whisper-yelled. “You shoved me!”

“You’re welcome.”

“I wasn’t thanking you.”

“You should. You must have really made an impression. I think he’s staring at you.”

“I have to leave. I can never see that man again.” I took off for the bathroom.

Chastity grabbed my arm. “You can’t leave. They’re about to announce the new VP.”

Oh, right.I was about to get promoted. “After I burn all the desks, my second order of business shall be to ban that man from this building. Or maybe I’ll ban him first…”

“Can’t we hire him as a secretary? I’d love to start every morning by slapping his tight ass after he brings me a steaming cup of coffee.”

Mason clinked his glass again. “As you all know, Bee is taking some time off to be with Mason Jr. And we need someone to help fill her very large shoes while she’s gone.”

“They’ve only grown half a size!” protested Bee. “And we’re definitely not naming him that.”

“We’ll discuss that later. And I meant that you do a lot for this company, not that your feet have grown. Anyway, it’s my pleasure to introduce you to our new VP of Business Development…”

I took a deep breath. This was the moment.Oh no.Was I going to have to give a big speech? What if I made a fool of myself in front of all my new underlings? I’d already molested the cake stripper. That felt like enough embarrassment for one day.
