Page 12 of Decoding Emma

Before I could say anything, Marcus left.I took a deep breath.“I never knew there were so many dildos.”

“That’s one word.We use insertables.”He waved his hand at the first table.“Here we have ones that will work for men and women.”

I looked the table over.There were ribbed devices, metal ones, glass ones, ones with small hand pumps.I moved to the next table.

“This one is for women,” Asher commented.

Goodness.How sheltered was I?I had a vibrator, but that was about it.There were round balls you could insert, a massage wand with attachments, nipple clamps, and a bunch of other items.

Mind.Blown.

My body felt too tight.“I think I’ve had enough,” I whispered.I needed a cold shower—or at least a cold drink.

“Are you sure?There’s a lot more to explore.”His eyes twinkled, and his eyebrows rose.

Cut the innocent act, buddy.You know exactly what you’re doing to me.

“I’m sure.”I spun around and headed for the door.

Chapter Four

Asher

I watched Emma walk toward the door.Her color had been high since the minute we walked into the room.It became even higher as I described using the massage oil on her.I couldn’t help myself and didn’t even try.

She hadn’t looked uncomfortable, but she wasn’t relaxed either.As I talked to her, her breathing became choppy, and I didn’t miss the way she shifted from foot to foot.Oh, she tried to hide it.

Once back in our office, she went directly to her computer.“I’m sorry if I embarrassed you.I wanted you to understand that everyone has fantasies, and that’s not a bad thing.We help people relax and live their genuine lives.That’s a good thing.”I took the chair next to her.I didn’t want her to feel shy around me.

“You didn’t.”She wouldn’t look at me.

“Emma, there is one thing you should know.A basic tenet at Fantasies, Inc.is consent.It’s a hard line none of us will cross, me included.So, if anything I say or do bothers you, tell me, and I’ll stop.”

Her head turned.She glanced at me before dropping her gaze to the floor.“I’m fine.This gives me enough to get started.”She turned back to her computer.

I let out a breath.

Don’t push.

This was only her first day, and she needed time.I had to admit the massage thing turned me on, and I wanted to show Emma how pleasurable it could be.There were so many things I wanted to show her.

Patience was going to become my new motto.

Chapter Five

Emma

I walked into my small home that night, more tired than after pulling an all-nighter to fix a coding issue.“I need a shower,” I mumbled.A cold one.My skin felt tight, and I was all worked up.After dropping my backpack by the front door, I locked up and made my way into the bedroom.

In the bathroom, I turned the water on, then stripped.I shivered at the coolness of the water until it warmed up, then let the water flow over me while I tried to make sense of my day.

Note to self: Do not go to R&D with Asher.

I’d spent the afternoon trying to work on merging code, but I could barely concentrate with Asher in the same room.Not just in the same room, but no more than three feet away.

All I heard was Asher’s voice as he talked about giving a massage.My fingers trailed down between my breasts to my mound.I parted my labia and teased my clit.A sigh escaped my lips.

I lifted my leg onto the small ledge in the shower and allowed my fingers to slide from my clit and into my pussy.I turned my face up to the spray as I moved my fingers.
