Next up was the LolaRing.

“Did you and Abbot hammer out any of the positioning details last week?” the no-nonsense Nelle asked, and Casey nearly dropped the toy in surprise from the unintended double meaning.

“Not in great detail, but we’ll be doing that once he returns from Vietnam and Hong Kong,” she said, and was tempted to add among other things.

Well, she was getting ahead of herself thinking of other things. They’d need to start with dinner, with more getting-to-know-you before they got to other things. She certainly hoped they had a good time at dinner. And that he was a good guy too. And, of course, that he treated her well. Would it be too much to also want him to be well hung?

Like Nate.

Who knew he’d been packing that kind of heat all along? She was a lucky lady to be able to turn to a man like him for her bedroom makeover project. Because that man did not have a textbook dick. His dick was so beautiful it needed a nickname. Like JackHammer. Or Plow Me Now. Or Mouthwateringly Delicious. Or Long, Tall Piece of Man Candy.

Actually, those sounded more like marketing slogans that other sex toy makers might use, like her friends at Good Vibes. She loved that company and was in regular contact with the top execs, but they approached the market differently. Joy Delivered tried to operate at a cut above, but Nate had her stooping to all sorts of low levels. Like on her knees. Or maybe on her hands and knees next.

Okay, time for her wandering mind to get out of its down and dirty gutter, and focus on catching up with her top employee on Monday afternoon.

Nelle peered at Casey over the top of her fuchsia glasses. They were camped out on the purple couch in Casey’s office, the one she’d chosen for her brother when he was CEO, then reclaimed when he left for Paris.

“I’ve got some ideas I’d like to share with you for how to promote the partnership. Perhaps they’ll come in handy as we prep. Contracts told me the paperwork has already been sent over, so we might as well get moving,” Nelle said. The woman was both efficient and creative. Those twin qualities rarely resided in one body, but they did in Nelle, who’d been overseeing the rollout plans for the LolaRing.

The new toy had received through-the-roof reviews from The Happiest Ladies in the World, the product-testing group at the company. The toy marked an evolution in one of Joy Delivered’s most popular vibrators, the Lola, that simulated oral sex. It was an amazing device, and truly felt like the world’s most talented tongue. The LolaRing was a two-person toy, because it paired the Lola with a cock ring. Being man-free for the last year, Casey hadn’t been able to take the LolaRing for a test drive herself, but the Happiest Ladies had said in their product write-ups that it was “like being licked and fucked” at the same time. “Translation: Heaven, Absolute Heaven,” one of them had written.
