She fumbled blindly for the door handle, and this tientle hand on her shoulder She shrugged it off but didn’t leave ination first thing tomorrow”

“Fuck! What?” Dean swore underneath his breath but kept his cool “Let’s not make any hasty decisions Whatever et past it Hardly any reason for either of us to give up on the perfect arrangement I’m not about to lose my best assistant”

“Well, you should have thought of that before!” Sheri let out heatedly in accusation, but then cut short to sigh “I don’t want to loseto put…this behind us, if you can But only on the grounds that it’s not to ever happen again If you can’t proht as well not show up to work tomorrow”

She was definitely glad that the respite had coet how it had felt to hold his thick, long and hard h she ached inside and out thinking how deliciously he’d stretch her with his super-sized tool, it was sience she’d have to pass up
