“Never.”
Josh shifted his gaze between the two women and cocked his brow. “Okay, if that’s the story you’re going with.”
“It is,” Tanya replied. “Now, I need to discuss some party plans with you.”
Molly watched as Tanya practically dragged Josh from her cubicle. She shook her head and turned back to her computer. Thinking Josh might be her mystery gift giver was ridiculous. Why would he be interested in her when he could have any woman in the office?
The very disheartening thought stayed with Molly for the entire day. Try as she might, she couldn’t figure out who had sent her the gifts. Even her very lame attempt at sitting at her desk all day resulted in nothing more than a very irritated bladder. At the rate she was going, not only was she going to need Depends very soon, she was also never going to figure out who her mysterious caller was.
Fed up with guessing, Molly went to the workroom for the daily gift exchange, unsurprised to receive yet another gift she wouldn’t use, this time flavored cocoas. Since she had decided to give up sugar, this gift was going to be added to the re-gift pile she was accumulating. Frustrated, she attempted to slip out before everyone had finished but was stopped by Tanya, who caught her arm.
“Hold on, I’m coming with you. We’re almost done here.”
Molly sighed, but nodded and stood there tapping her foot. She wanted to hurry back to her desk to see if another gift was waiting, but she stuck around knowing she’d have hell to pay if she tried to ditch Tanya. Five minutes later, her friend was finished and the two women arrived at Molly’s cubicle to find another wrapped package, this time in silver and purple paper.
“Oh my God, open it, quick.”
Tanya seemed more anxious than she did. Instead of ripping into the paper she slipped the card from the envelope, expecting another cryptic note. She wasn’t disappointed.
This is a gift for the both of us. I get half and so do you, but you’re not allowed to use it until tomorrow. Think of it as the gift that keeps on giving. Until then, dream of me. I know I’ll dream of you. Molly reread the note, confused at the puzzling message. What good would a gift be if she only had half of it?
“Hurry up already. I want to know what it is.”
“Jeeze, give me a minute.” Tearing the paper off, Molly opened the box to find another sex toy. At least that’s what she thought it was.
“It’s a butterfly.” Tanya’s vast knowledge of sex toys and accoutrements seemed to be never ending.
“Explain, please.”
Tanya picked it up and held it in front of her. “This part goes against your clit and these straps wrap around your thighs. You can wear it under your clothing.”
“You’ve got to be kidding me.” Molly pulled the toy away from her friend to examine it closer. “These things wouldn’t fit around my thighs in a million years.”
“You can put it in your panties if you fit it just right.”
Molly was dubious, but nodded. “I suppose.”
“Where’s the controller?”
“I don’t know.” Molly searched the box, but it was empty. Then it hit her. He must have the controller. “I guess that’s what the note meant.”
“Are you going to do it?”
Could she? Wearing the butterfly would mean allowing her body to be subjected to sexual stimulation at his every whim. The thought should terrify her, but she was excited instead.
“I’m going to do it.”

When Friday finally arrived, Josh was more than ready to reveal his status as Molly’s naughty gift giver. The party wasn’t until later that afternoon, however. The one saving grace was Molly’s final gift. She had been more than willing to play along with the two earlier gifts, and he was certain she had worn the toy as soon as he saw her walk into the office this morning. Never tentative in the past, today she walked oh-so-gingerly through the aisle and to her cubicle.
He wanted to turn the butterfly on to see if she
