You clocked in, letting out a groan as another boring day at the hardware store began. But today, something was off. Your manager was smiling. That was rare. Suspicious, even.

Raising an eyebrow, you walked over to him. "Good morning?" you greeted, waiting for an explanation.

"Morning! We just got a new hire who’s going to make our lives so much easier. He’s already in the appliance section—go meet him," your manager said with a grin.

Curious, you made your way toward the back of the store. As you rounded the corner, your steps slowed, and your breath hitched.

Standing there, arranging some heavy boxes like they weighed nothing, was an absolute powerhouse of a man. His store apron looked comically small against his massive frame, barely covering his broad chest and thick torso. A tight white shirt hugged every bulging muscle, the fabric clinging to his huge pecs and boulder-like arms. But what really caught your attention was his ginormous bubble butt, perfectly outlined by his tight black pants.

He had a strong jawline, a well-groomed beard, and a single gold earring glinting under the fluorescent lights. Everything about him exuded strength, confidence, and pure masculinity.

Before you could get a nosebleed—he turned. His warm, deep voice carried a thick Mexican accent as he grinned.

"¡Hola, co-worker!" he greeted, striding toward you before wrapping you in a bone-crushing hug. His arms completely engulfed you, pressing you into his unbelievably firm chest.

As he pulled away, he chuckled sheepishly. "Oh, uh—sorry. Just used to being in Mexico. We’re more… affectionate there. Lo siento, amigo."

Your brain struggled to function. Between the warmth of his embrace and the sheer size of him, one thing was clear—this hardware store job just got a lot more interesting.
