I frowned. "I don't understand."
"Remember our cover story? You came in to buy a dress."
"Oh, that's right. Duh, why else would I come here? But we never said that I actually ended up buying one." I smiled in the dark.
"The thing is, I have one you'd look amazing in."
I swallowed hard. "Really?" I was thrilled he'd chosen something for me.
"Yes. I'd like for you to try it on.”
"Right now?"
"Yes." His voice sounded dangerous and oh so sexy. My lady parts were already paying attention. But honestly, was there anything this man could do that wouldn't turn me on?
He started to walk away. "I'm going to get it. Go back to the changing room. I'll bring it for you."
After going back in there, I glanced around with a smile. I could see us going down that rabbit hole again.
The store was silent for about three minutes, and then I heard his footsteps. When he came into view, my breath caught. He was carrying the dress in front of him. It was dark red with a small bow around the waist. The corsage was velvet, and the sleeves were organza. There were several layers in the skirt, of course, but only one in the sleeves, and I knew they would be see-through.
"This is beautiful," I said.
"Put it on."
"Okay, but you're not allowed to come in and watch."
“And why not?”
"Because I know you. You'll end up talking me into another sexy crime."
He grinned. "All right. Put it on and show it to me afterward."
"That's the plan," I said, taking the dress from him.
I changed in record time, and then I couldn't stop staring at myself in the mirror. The dress was absolute perfection. I'd never felt so beautiful.
"You can look now," I said to him through the curtain.
He pulled back the curtain in a fraction of a second.
He just looked at me for several moments, then murmured. "Reese, babe... you're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen."
"Thank you."
He walked right up behind me again and moved the chair back into its original place. Then he put a hand on my belly. "It looks amazing on you."
"It's as if it was made for me."
He darted his eyes away.
"Dom, what did you do?"
He flashed me his most charming smile. "I had it commissioned for you."
My eyes widened. "Wow! Why?"
"Because you described the dress in the car, and it stuck in my mind. I relayed it to one of our designers, and he came up with this. I instantly approved it. I knew it was you. Just you. It came back a while ago. I intended to give it to you as a Christmas gift, but this works too." He grinned from ear to ear.
