he tripping over his words as he addressed the Jackhammer, a sexy position that had the Kama Man pleasuring his Kama Lady standing up? Did her blush extend below her collar, down to the swell of her breasts?
April definitely wasnât the only one demonstrating a propensity for hot blushes at the moment. Rex was feeling his fair share of heat, only it wasnât rushing north into his face but south, proving beyond a doubt that he hadnât been making nearly enough time to date lately.
Something about the way his new assistant was checking him out undermined his usually solid control in a way she shouldnât have. April hadnât spoken a dozen sentences yet he found her reactions to his presentation a lot more stimulating than the presentation itself.
Luckily heâd be wrapping up things in corporate headquarters today and leaving for Atlanta first thing in the morning, which meant he would have April Stevens all tohimself in less than twenty-four hours. Sharing a hotel suite with this lovely lady suddenly seemed to be the perfect way to kick off his week. He could investigate consumersâ reactions to the sexy sheet sets and perhaps explore this unexpected, yet undeniable chemistry he felt for her.

Hello my favorite brother-in-law,
I promised to keep you posted about the investigation and Iâm happy to report that itâs underway. My security chief has his people working hard running background checks on my employees and he was agreeable to your suggestion that we start looking very closely at the network administrator. In the three months Iâve been here, Iâve found Jacqui competent at her job as long as I keep a tight rein on her. But the same could be said of all my staff. Unfortunately with the launch, everyone is behaving very out of character and as my experience with them is limited, Iâm at a disadvantage.
Sex on the brain. You laughed at me, John, but I wasnât kidding. If you could have been a fly on the wall at our marketing session this morningâhalf the time I marvel that Iâm able to keep a straight face, which leads me toâ¦April.
Paula mentioned how worried you were about forcing her out from behind that computer so I thought Iâd let you know how she made out. Fine, so stop worrying. I know sheâs a daughter to you and youâre understandably concerned for her welfare. I also know youâd rather keep her hidden away at work with you, where sheâll be comfortable and you can keep away all the bad guys. But, John,April will never be comfortable unless she gets out to meet new people without you hovering over her shoulder.
Paula is right about giving her a little nudge. There, Iâve said it. In thirty-five years, Iâve done my level best never to take sides but April is a smart, beautiful girl who should have a life. If I wasnât convinced before, I was the minute I saw her with Rex today. I got them together during that meeting I mentioned above and stood outside the door to watch. You should have seen her! She almost swallowed her tongue when he walked in the room. I know she found him attractive because she almost torched him with a cup of hot coffee. Rex took it in stride and behaved very gallantly. I told you heâs perfect for her. Iâve never met a man so gifted with handling people. Heâll have her eating out of his hand in no time.
Which would make me very happy. Heâs a wonderful man who works too much and sheâs a normal healthy young woman who should have a wonderful man in her life, i.e. sex. There, Iâve said that, too. Youâve got to toss her out of the nest and give her a chance to fly. Sheâll soar. And she knows her Auntie Wil is just a phone call away if she needs me. Trust me, John, sheâs not going to want anyone but that to-die-for man
