She took her time opening it again. “Have you reconsidered?”
“If you go first.”
“Right. Like I’m going to fall for that.”
They had another stare-down. She kept her eyes steady even though her heart was beating like crazy.
“Come on, Georgie. I’ve had a bad week. Trying on some clothes for me is the least you can do.”
“I’ve had a bad week, too, and these aren’t clothes. They’re sex aids. If you want this so badly, you go first.”
“How about we do it together?”
“Deal.” She shut the door again. Her hands were shaking. She stepped out of her navy and white polka-dot ballet flats.
Several minutes passed before he knocked from the other side. “Are you ready yet?”
“No. I feel stupid.”
“You feel stupid. This thing has a frickin’ codpiece.”
“I know. I chose it, remember? And I’m the one who should be complaining. These corset straps are arranged so they don’t hide anything.”
“Open the door. Now.”
“I’ve changed my mind.”
“On the count of three,” he said.
“You have to step back so I can see.”
“All right. I’m stepping back. One…two…three.”
She opened the door and looked through.
Bram looked back.
Both of them were fully clothed.
Bram shook his head. “You have serious trust issues.”
She narrowed her eyes at him. “At least I took off my shoes. You didn’t even do that.”
“New deal,” he said. “The door stays open. You take off one thing. I’ll take off one thing. I’ll even go first.” He pulled his shirt over his head.
She already knew he had a great chest. She’d spent enough time sneaking peeks at it. The muscles were defined but not so overdeveloped that he lost I.Q. points, because, really, how sexy could a man be who had nothing better to do all day than work out?
“I’m waiting,” he said.
A quick calculation told her she was wearing more clothes. Was she really going to do this? Having sex with Bram offered no guarantee that he still wouldn’t cheat, but he also wasn’t stupid. He knew the kind of microscope they were under and how difficult it would be for him to get away with anything. Besides, Bram always took the easy way out, and in this case, that would be her.
She slipped her hand behind her neck and removed her silver necklace.
“No fair.”
Her trip to the devil’s playground demanded at least a few swings from the monkey bars. “Drop your jeans. You have a codpiece waiting.”
“I still have my shoes on, remember?” He stepped back so she could watch him kick off a single sneaker.
