“Shhhh,” I said, putting a finger to my lips.What am I doing?“Just watch.” I unbuttoned the blouse, tore it off, and chucked it into the corner, hoping to hook it on the coat rack with his jacket. Then I unzipped my skirt and did the same thing. Two shots at the coat rack were better than one. “So what do you think?” I asked, giving him a little shimmy for added effect.

“I think you look stunning.” His eyes wandered to my breasts. “But I also think that you may have slightly misjudged this situation.”

I gave him a funny look. “What do you mean?” As I said it, I caught a glimpse of movement in the corner.Fuck my life.“We’re not alone, are we?”

“Nope.”

I turned towards the corner. My aim had been spot on. Unfortunately, a man had been standing directly between me and the coat rack. He pulled my blouse and skirt off his head and looked at me like I was a crazy person.

“Hi there,” I said. “Could you just put those on the coat rack for me? Also, please don’t look at me. And forget this ever happened.” God, the longer I stared at him, the more familiar he looked. Did I know him? I could feel my face turning red as I debated hurling myself out the window. But I didn’t want to ruin my new lingerie.

He looked like he really wanted to hand them back to me instead, but didn’t want to engage with my craziness. So he hung my clothes up and then turned back around. He drew his eyebrows together, clearly perplexed by what the hell was happening.

“I’m Ash, by the way.” I stuck my hand out for him. It seemed like the best course of action to pretend like I hadn’t just stripped down to my very revealing lingerie. And the fact that I hadn’t put my clothes back on once I realized he was there. But I weirdly felt confident in my outfit. I mean…Tanner said I looked stunning. I was practically beaming through my embarrassed red cheeks.

“James. James Hunter.” He shook my hand but was very respectful about not staring at my body.

“James Hunter?! I knew you looked familiar. Oh my God. I freaking love your wife. I mean, I don’t know her. But I’ve been watching her. In the tabloids. Not with binoculars. I’m not stalking her or anything.” I laughed nervously. James was even more handsome in real life than in pictures. I always hoped to meet him someday. I just thought I’d be wearing more clothes. Or less, depending on which of my daydreams we’re talking about…

James cleared his throat. “Speaking of my wife, I’m not sure she’d be too thrilled about all this.” He put his hand in front of his face, trying to block me from his sight. “So I should probably get going.”

“Why? I said I’m not a stalker.”

“I was more concerned about the surprise striptease.”

“Oh, right. Well if it makes her feel any better, it wasn’t meant for you. I can make sure you don’t get in trouble if you wanna just call her real quick. You could put her on speakerphone. I’ll explain everything. She’ll be cool with it. We texted once. I mean, kind of.” This didn’t feel like a great time to bring up the fact that I’d gone on a date with one of James’ best friends because his wife kind of catfished me. That catfishing had been one of the best moments of my life. The actual date had been hell.

“Yeah…I’m not going to do that.”

Tanner cleared his throat.

“You know what?” I said. “I should probably get back to work. It was rude of me to interrupt your meeting. Just let me grab my clothes real quick…” I brushed past James and grabbed my clothes off the rack. I was waiting for the perfect opportunity to pull the bug out of my bra and slip it in Tanner’s jacket, but it was almost impossible to do with both of them watching me. “Ahem,” I said. “Can’t a girl have a little privacy while she dresses? Perverts…”

Both of them turned away.

Score!I had been worried that James being here had ruined everything, but really his presence had made my job easy. The original plan had just been to do a little striptease for Tanner and then hope that he’d be so transfixed staring at my ass that he wouldn’t notice me slipping the bug into his jacket. There was still a chance he would have spotted what I was doing. Butwith both their backs turned? No risk. I deposited the bug into Tanner’s jacket pocket and finished getting dressed.

“It was so nice to meet you, James,” I said and then slipped out the door before the encounter could get any more awkward.

“Well?” asked Chastity when I got back to our cubicle.

“I just stripped in front of James Hunter. But mission accomplished.”

“James Hunter?” asked Chastity. “As in…the billionaire who’s married to your idol? No way. You’re lying.”

“Unfortunately I’m not lying.”

“Well what happened? Did you blow both of them? Oh my God. I’m so freaking jealous right now!”

“How many times do I have to tell you that a blowjob was completely unnecessary for this mission?”

“And how many times do I have to tell you that you’re being silly, because you literally should use sex in this scenario. Single Girl Rule #25: Don’t be ashamed to use sex to get what you want.”

“I didn’t use sex.”

“Wait, so James Hunter was offering to let you suck his dick and you saidno?”

“No!”
