The grey light barely illuminated the road. The windscreen wipers were ineffectual against the lashing rain. Aaron Sharpe didn’t care. He had a broad smile on his face. He was on his way to work. Most people didn’t grin on their way to work but then most people weren’t in love with their boss.

Aaron pulled into the car park. He got out, opened the back door and drew out his briefcase together with a cloak and a pointed hat. As a rule, he didn’t usually dress like this but today was Comic Relief Red Nose Day and a memo had gone around from his boss: everyone in fancy dress or a hundred pounds donation. Aaron had come as a magician. What kind of magician he didn’t know, but he had gone to his nearest fancy dress shop, seen the star-speckled hat and silver, shimmering cloak in the window and snapped them up, together with a magic wand. Under them he wore his normal business suit, which was perhaps a cop out but then he could easily remove his costume if for example, he had to meet a client or someone from head office that day. His boss would no doubt force him to keep them on.

But Aaron couldn’t be too mad at his boss. Not when he was a man in love. If his boss had told him to come to the office naked today, he would have done.

“Like it?” Shaun’s plunging blouse revealed tufts of chest hair. He wore a padded bra.

“Very nice.”

“Pervert. I’m supposed to be fifteen.”

Aaron rolled his eyes. He booted up his computer, his hat almost falling off when he bent down.

“You’ll never guess what the boss is doing for Red Nose Day.” “You’re right, I won’t.” A sponsored shag? Aaron would be up for that. “Go in the office and find out.”

Aaron glanced towards the closed door, trying to manufacture a reason to go in. A stack of papers which hadn’t received attention yesterday and still sat on the edge of his desk was good enough. He took them and stood.

“Good lad,” said Shaun enigmatically as Aaron walked to his boss’s office.

He knocked. A gruff voice bade him enter.

Aaron took a breath and opened the door to a vision of loveliness.

Marcus Maxwell looked like he’d stepped off a catwalk. He lounged in his executive leather chair speaking on the phone. Wearing a black Italian suit, with black shirt and black tie and
