She caught my hand, and her touch sparked an electrical storm inside my mind.
“You look wonderful. Come sit and eat with me.”
She led me over to the table and sat me down. I couldn't get over how beautiful she looked, though. Her hair, softly curled. Her eyes sparkling from amidst the mascara and eyeliner. Her floral summer dress cinched in at her waist and fluttered around her legs, drawing my eye up and down those soft, salacious curves she had. Her cleavage sparkled with shimmering dust, and her earrings caught the rays of the setting sun nicely. Her lips donned a pouty pink that somehow accented her wondrous eyes. And I found myself falling into her.
Falling for her.
And I wanted nothing more than to fall against her, too.
“So, how was your day?” Kelly asked.
Her voice pulled me from my trance. “Actually, I want you to tell me about your day. If that’s all right.”
She smiled. “You sure you want to hear about all this boring fashion stuff?”
I picked up my fork. “I’ve been looking forward all day to hearing about it.”
“Well, then strap in. Because it’s been a hell of a day.”

“And… yeah! That was my day.”
Brenden blinked. “You weren’t joking.”
“Yep.”
“That’s a hell of a day.”
I sipped my wine. “Uh-huh.”
“You managed to completely overhaul your website, volley things back and forth between your investor, completely change your fall line for next year, and you went to go pick up the clothes you’re going to be wearing around town for a while? All before I got back?”
“Y--ep.”
He leaned back. “And I thought my day was insane.”
I slid my plate off to the side. “Tell me about your day. What happened?”
He smirked. “It’s nothing like yours.”
“I still want to hear about it. Please?”
He grinned. “Well, since you asked so nicely.”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah. Spit it out.”
He chuckled. “So, my day started with a fervent teasing and laugh session from Zane.”
I paused. “From…?”
“Yep. As in, he came to laugh in my face again about this predicament I’ve caused.”
I almost choked on my wine. “Oh, my gosh. He didn’t.”
He nodded. “Yep. He really did. Laughed until he wheezed. I don’t think I’ve ever heard him wheeze before.”
