You’re right. I miss you.

And I keep thinking about that kiss in your car.

Oh, really?

Mmmhmm.

Does that mean you want a repeat?

Yes…and more.

More? Well, damn. This day keeps getting better and better.

Hopefully it’ll end with a bang. >

Want me to pick you up at the office?

That sounds like a plan.

Then I’ll be at your mercy…

You read my mind. See you then.

I’m grinning as I go to my closet. Now that I know I’m getting laid, my plain white, cotton panties and bra just won’t do. I select a matching bra and thong in black lace.

Does it matter that I don’t see a future with Dave?

No. Because I don’t see a future with anyone.

That doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy his company, especially when it means getting off. By the time I undress, change, and then dress, I’m running late.

But nothing can take the smile off my face today.

And I mean nothing.

The day goes by in a blur. At three, Renee buzzes me to let me know that my new client is running late.

I bite back a groan.

“How late? Dave’s picking me up at five.”

Renee makes an ‘aww,’ sound. “That’s so sweet! I wish I would have known that. I could have told Ms. Minty-Smith that we needed to reschedule.”

“I think it’ll be fine. Dave can wait in my office if he has to.”

“I really like him. And I’m not just saying that because I introduced the two of you.”

I snort. “Sure you aren’t.”

“Okay, maybe a little.”

“Get back to work, Ren. I have a feeling we’re going to be busy when our bride-to-be arrives.”

Renee hangs up, and I shoot Dave a text.
