Lauren Scott is a take-no-prisoners boss. Expecting nothing but success and the very hardest of work from herself as well as her team, she's never going to win a popularity contest at her workplace and couldn't care less about it. Her team's sales far outstrip the other groups and that makes her rightfully proud. She drove all her team hard - but only Rob Quinn looked back at her like he wanted to accept the unintended challenge. Only he made her body tingle and tempted her to break her strict no-dating-her-colleagues policy.When she gets stuck in an awkward position after hours, Rob's there to help her. Sparks fly and for a few minutes their roles reverse - Rob is in charge and she has no real choice but to follow his lead. Turned on beyond belief, Lauren can't hide her excitement or her physical reaction to their situation. Pushed beyond her normal boundaries, Rob opens her eyes to a whole other side of herself and the sensual life she discovers she wants to lead.I found the pacing in this short story almost perfect. While it moves at a fast clip, there is plenty of time for the reader to get to know Lauren and her thoughts/observations about Rob. The sexual chemistry and tension of their situation is drawn out but not to the degree where I started to skim over to the next paragraph. Like a perfect strip tease, there's enough sensuality and time to relish every moment, but the words don't drag and make you want to speed it up any. Even though both Lauren and Rob are fairly easily understandable characters, there's enough vibrancy and life in them to make me enjoy their discovery of each other and thoroughly enjoy their coming together.Originally posted at Long and Short Reviews
