“I don’t recall,” she said.
He opened his mouth to speak.
“Don’t tell me—I don’t want to know!” she added hurriedly.
He nodded and left the room. She managed the fruit and half the yogurt before she gave up and slid wearily from the bed.
Padding into the impressive bathroom; her reflection in the elaborate mirror left a lot to be desired. She sighed heavily. She looked dreadful. Her hair was tousled in a nest, her eyes were surrounded by dark circles, and... “Oh, my God, my breath stinks!” she cried, reaching for her toothbrush.
She took a long shower and dried her hair.
I need to do better if I am to prove to David, and myself, that I am wholly able to function as an adult twenty-four/seven.
Chapter Twenty
“Try these two on,”David said, handing her another couple of dresses through the curtains. This was the third boutique they’d visited. Penny was hot and bothered with pulling dresses on and off. Nothing he liked she liked. The dresses she wanted, he vetoed. To be fair he was being exceptionally patient but she was near snapping point. Trying to remain polite, she gritted her teeth and pulled on yet another gown. This time red—so not her colour. Each gown was accompanied by a pair of perfectly matching shoes. She slipped on the scarlet satin heels. Straightening, she stared back at her reflection.Wow.This dress actually looked stunning on her. She swivelled to look at the low-cut back; the garment hugged her curves and swept to ankle length with a fullness low down that swished about her calves as she moved.
Yanking the curtain of the cubicle aside, she strutted out into the shop. David wolf whistled as he came forward to meet her. “My God, you look amazing!” he said, kissing her full on the lips.
“Mais oui, c’est vrai, madam!” the female assistant cried. David and she began to blather in French while Penny looked on in surprise. David spoke fluent French.
The assistant hurried over to the dress rail and returned with yet another dress, this time in a vibrant turquoise with black diamante straps and edging. She shooed Penny before her back into the changing room and helped Penny remove the red gown. Leaving her to try on the turquoise dress, she returned with matching shoes in Penny’s size.
Once on, she could see why the assistant had selected this particular design. It was similar to the red gown but shorter in length and strappy on the shoulders. It too looked wonderful on her. David called her and she stepped back into the shop.
A slow sexy grin spread over his face at the sight of her. He nodded his head in approval. Moving to stand before her, he cupped her face in his warm hands, his gaze glittering hotly.
“We need to get back to the hotel, gorgeous. I have to fuck you wearing this dress,” he growled.
She flushed hotly; his words lit a fuse that sizzled to her core. “David!” she admonished quietly. “She’ll hear!”
He chuckled. “Don’t worry, babe, she doesn’t speak English,” he said in a normal voice.
She went to change into her own clothes; her panties were damp. She hoped the smell of her arousal hadn’t met the nose of the elegant Parisian assistant.
It took a few minutes for the gowns to be boxed up and the transaction to be made on David’s platinum card.
