I share a glance with my friend again. This is heating up, and frankly, I’m excited to learn more.

“So what were they about?” I ask in a low voice. “Don’t be afraid to share. We’ve already hired you, and we’re not going to fire you for something that happened at your last job.”

Courtney is now blushing heavily, and she stammers again.

“Well, I was seeing this guy. He’s not my boyfriend or anything,” she adds quickly, “but he sent me some emails at work that were inappropriate. They had inappropriate subject lines, that’s for sure. I can’t believe he’d be so dumb,” she says.

I’m even more intrigued now.

“What did the subject lines say?” I ask point blank.

It’s obvious that Courtney was hoping we wouldn’t ask, but she takes a deep breath and looks us in the eye.

“It said something along the lines of, “I’d like to stroke your pucker, or play with your pucker.” Something like that.”

I practically fall off my own lab stool, and I can tell Huck’s just as titillated and shocked. Both of us go hard at once, and our blue eyes fix on her. Holy shit, this girl is so lush and dirty, and it’s exactly what we’re looking for.

“Pucker meaning your asshole, right?” my friend clarifies like it’s no big deal. His expression doesn’t change, although his blue eyes are flashing with interest and desire.

Courtney looks a bit ashamed.

“Well, yes. We were just getting into backdoor play. I haven’t done it, or anything like that, but we were easing into it by talking dirty. But I had no idea that he was going to send emails like that to my work address! What an idiot. I wish I’d never met Bert Halliwell. He ruined my career,” she says ruefully.

I grin despite myself.

“Well, it didn’t sound like you were getting anywhere with your old job anyways, so it’s not a big loss. Are you still seeing Bert?” I ask casually, my heart thumping.

Courtney shakes her head, and her lush curls toss about her shoulders.

“No, we were never really ‘seeing’ each other, if you get what I mean. He was just someone that I hung out with on occasion. We didn’t have an emotional connection or anything like that.”

I share a look with Huck because it’s perfect. At long last, our opening has come. He nods imperceptibly at me, and I smile at Courtney again.

“Great, because we want to make you an offer,” I say in a warm tone. “You’re here at Cherrywood to pick cherries, but there are actually quite a number of staff jobs at the farm. One of them is helping us here, in the lab. Would you be interested in learning more about that?”

She looks confused.

“As a lab assistant? But I know nothing about science,” she confesses. “Well, not much. My major was Environmental Studies, but the concentration is more about predators, pests, and ecology. It’s not hard science, like the set-up you have here.”

Huck and I merely smile at her again.

“The position is kind of a mix,” he drawls in a low voice. “I’ts a lab assistant position of sorts, but it fulfills a very particular function. In fact, we’ve been waiting for the right girl to come around, and maybe you’d be interested? If so, we can tell you more.”

Courtney looks at us and I can tell she’s intrigued.

“Sure,” she nods, perking up. “I’m all ears.”

My partner and I share another pleased look because maybe now, we’ll make some progress on our side business: a teledildonics lab that sells all sorts of naughty toys. We’ve been looking for a girl to experiment with, and it seems she just walked into our lives.

What is going on? I’m really confused because I came out to Cherrywood to be a cherry-picker, and nothing more. I thought it was going to be really straightforward. I would wake up at the crack of dawn with my fellow farm laborers, and then we’d head out in the orchard to pick until our fingers were stained red with cherry juice. Then, we’d go back to our dorms, eat dinner, and fall into bed exhausted. It was going to be a difficult life, but also fulfilling in its own way.

But now, things have taken a left turn because it seems my handsome bosses have a side business running a lab. I had no idea this was coming. I knew that Hank and Huck were smart, but I didn’t think they’d be mad geniuses wearing lab coats.

Come to think of it though, they look good in those starched lab coats. The white material emphasizes their broad shoulders, and the pale fabric makes their strong, tanned faces look more bronze. The buttons barely even button down the front because Hank and Huck are such big men, with wide chests and powerful arms. I can literally see their wrists poking out beyond the lab sleeves because they’re like Superman wearing an item that’s too small.
