This woman was so damn stunning. Her legs were endless, and she was wearing a dark green dress that fit her body perfectly.
My imagination was working overtime. If I could roll her dress up a bit higher…
Fucking hell!I’d done so well all week and kept my promise after our lunch together. Why was I having so much trouble whipping my thoughts into shape right now?
“Hi, everyone. I’m Daisy.”
“Nice to meet you, Daisy. I’m Isabeau, and this is Celine.”
I laughed. “These are the two names you have to remember and be wary of.”
“Anthony,” Isabeau chastised.
I winked at my grandmother, but she just shook her head.
“I’ll be right back. Daisy and I need to catch up on something.”
As we walked away from the table, I glanced over my shoulder. My grandmothers had their heads together, conversing. Up to no good, I was sure.
“I’m all ears,” I said.
“Are you going to the festival tonight?” she asked.
“Yes, I need to see how things are going.”
“Would you mind if I came?”
I looked at her in surprise. “Not at all. But you’ve been working late all week.”
Her expression lit up. “I’d love to see everything live. And if you’re there, it’ll be a good learning experience.”
“I agree.” I leaned slightly toward her, winking. “You can see firsthand that all the hard work paid off.”
“What time should I meet you there?”
“Eight.”
“Perfect.”
A loud yelp came from my family’s table, and then everyone burst out laughing.
“Your family is very lively,” she said.
I glanced at the table. My grandmothers were staring right at us. So was Beckett.
“That’s a very polite way of putting it.”
She frowned. “What do you mean?”
Right, she couldn’t know they were all a bunch of nosy bastards. “Never mind.”
I glanced back at her. She was wearing a flower-shaped pendant that had been my obsession all week. It hung very low, almost in her cleavage. Now it was even harder to look away than usual.
I finally tore my gaze back up to her face and said, “Then I’ll see you in a bit.”
“Fantastic.”
She left, and I returned to the table, the image of that pendant nearly brushing her breasts playing in my mind. This was insane. And I was going to see Daisy again in just a few hours.
