Just as I’m browsing for some new panties, my phone rings.
 
 Grayson’s name flashes on the screen.
 
 I press ignore.
 
 He calls again.
 
 I ignore that too.
 
 Who fucks their employee’s roommate?He can fuck off and leave me alone.
 
 I managed to find some really nice lingerie—granted, I was looking for thirty minutes, but panties can’t be rushed, and they have to be comfortable.
 
 Comfort is key for a pampered pussy.
 
 You have to treat her well.
 
 “You don’t look very sick.” I jump at the voice, and the lady assisting me peeks over my shoulder.
 
 “Just these, please.” I push the pile over to her, and she starts scanning them as he steps closer to me.
 
 Grayson’s hand comes up and touches my forehead. “Not even a temp,” he mutters, and I slap his hand away.
 
 “How is your cock? Sliding into any more of my roommates?” I question, sending him a smile that says fuck you without words. He grinds his jaw and shakes his head.
 
 “You have more roommates?” he asks, being a smartass.
 
 The cashier lady’s expression turns confused as she takes in our conversation.
 
 “Just shut up already,” I grumble as the lady tells me the total. But before I can pay for it, he hands her his credit card.
 
 “I’ve bought you panties, which you clearly needed. You can come back to work now.”
 
 “I’m sick,” I argue, reaching for the bag on the counter. He takes it before I can and starts walking away with it, and I follow him out the door with a groan. “Give me my damn panties.”
 
 “I paid for them, so you either come back to work, or I take them.”
 
 “What are you going to do with my panties?” I ask, my arms crossing over my chest.
 
 “Maybe I’ll sniff them.”
 
 “That’ll be a waste since I haven’t worn them.” I smirk and snatch the bag from his hand.
 
 “I won’t fuck your roommate again,” he states seriously.
 
 “I’m sure that’s what you tell all the ladies,” I say, pushing past him.
 
 “To be fair, I was waiting for you. She kicked everyone out, and then she hit on me.”
 
 “Oh, fucking classic. A man can’t say no to a woman.”
 
 “Well, in all fairness, she did take off her top and slide her hand down my pants before I could even think.” He shrugs.
 
 “And you couldn’t help yourself.” I roll my eyes.
 
 “I’m a man.”
 
 “Good. Since you’re a man, why don’t you introduce me to one of your friends, and I’ll fuck them to make this even.”
