The Special Gift

The last thing Kate feels like doing is acting the happy bridesmaid at her friend's wedding. Apart from the vile orange dress, watching Jennifer marry her ex-boyfriend hardly qualifies as fun. While the other bridesmaids receive jewelry from the bride, Kate gets a special gift - a GI Joe doll in denim shorts. A unlikely coincidence, since that was exactly what Pete had been wearing when he met Jennifer and decided he preferred her to Kate. The moment Kate gets home, she throws the doll in the closet and slams the door, never suspecting her unspoken wish could take on a life of its own. In this clever and original story, excerpted from the Men in Shorts anthology, wishes and desires, friendship and passion are explored with very sexy results
