“You’re all dressed up. Have you been up to something, Levi?
“Well, picturing you naked is the most productive thing I’ve done all day. But things might be changing.”
“They say a naughty thought a day keeps the stress away.” Truth.
“You’re my favorite naughty thought.” He leaned down and kissed my cheek. “If you knew what was going through my mind you’d be traumatized or maybe aroused.”
My cheeks grew warm, and I wondered if we should stay in.
“You ready?”
“For what?”
“It’s a surprise.”
I gasp. “You tell me right now or I’m not going.”
He grabbed the magic eight ball from the coffee table and shook it.
“Should Allison motherfuckin’ Langley go see a surprise with Levi motherfuckin’ Dawson?”
His head nodded and held it out for me to see. “Hell yeah.” He walked back over and helped me on with my coat. “We outta here.”
Twenty minutes later he led me into a fancy boutique on the magical Christmas street in the beautiful ski resort town. “What are we doing?”
Two women approached. “Mr. Dawson?”
He nodded as they looked at me. “Are you ready?”
“I don’t know.”
“Follow us.”
Levi’s grin gave me a squeeze as we walked back to the dressing room area.
The boutique had a high-end flair, and the dressing area walls were wrapped in chic, high fashion wallpaper, crisp white doors, and three brown leather chairs close by a little pedestal in front of a large mirror.
“We have some items to get you started in the fitting room and can grab any others you might like.”
Levi took a seat in a fancy chair and the woman helping me flashed him a whopper of a smile. Clearly, he was leaving all the women in the room a little toasty with that grin.
“What else shall we set her up with?”
My eyes darted back to the hot one.
“She needs a cocktail dress, short, that highlights those amazing legs. Maybe heels, and of course everything that goes underneath.”
I swore the glint in his eye would make my bra burst open at any second.
“Levi, what are you doing?” I couldn’t make my big old smile disappear.
“Closure ends tomorrow.” He sat back in his chair. “We’re going to live the hell out of today.”
I stood frozen as the sales ladies buzzed around bringing all sorts of things in my direction. A man’s head popped around the corner. “Who ordered pizza?”
Gasp!
My eyes met Levi’s and he let out a chuckle.
