<p>I hired her to fix my company, to bring Marks Lingerie back to life. I didn&rsquo;t expect her to become my friend. I didn&rsquo;t expect to fall in love with her.</p>

<p>The first rule of business is to never touch your employees. I think there is another rule about not falling for your best friend&mdash;a rule against imagining the curves of her body, or the way her breathing would change if I pulled down her panties and unzipped my pants.</p>

<p>Now, I can&rsquo;t wait any longer. I&rsquo;m tossing out the rules.</p>

<p>Damn the company.<br />
Damn our friendship.<br />
Damn my fears.</p>
