My eyes go wide.
“A fucking butt plug? Why?” I try to sound serious.
“Nice.”
He knocks back his drink and turns to face me.
He’s a pretty boy—dark hair, dark eyes, designer clothes.
But he’s not my type.
“So does that mean, because you’re my boss, the power is balanced now and we can…” He trails off, wiggling his brows.
I open my mouth, but before I can speak, electricity bolts down my spine.

I cringe internally, plastering a smile on my face as I cross one leg over the other.
“Dr. Quinn. Nice of you to join us,” I say, turning to face him.
He’s glaring at Josh.
“Yeah. Glad I came.”
He takes the chair next to me and sits. Josh looks at us like we’ve both grown horns.
“Please, continue what you were about to say, Dr. Miller.”
I scowl at Josh. Like I need more ammo for Finn.
“Fine,” I say lightly.
“No, Josh. It’s still a no. Anyone with an asshole that works in the department is a no-go. Sorry.”
Josh taps his fingers on the table.
“You got it.”
