Buy a dress. D.U. invited us to a cocktail party tonight, and we need to go.

Alex knew how to text? Surprise, surprise. She texted back, How sexy?

How much more of your innocence do you want to lose?

She looked up at the clerk. “Turns out I’m not done shopping. Where to do you keep your LBDs?”

The salesgirl grinned. “Little black dresses are right over here. Are we doing the works?”

“Oh, yeah,” Katie replied, grinning. She’d break through that man’s walls whether he liked it or not. And she knew just the weapons to use on him....

BY THE TIME KATIE emerged from her bedroom, the babysitter had arrived. How Alex had managed to convince a full-blown nun to babysit Dawn for them, she had no idea. But she could rest easy knowing the baby was in great hands.

The wimpled woman in the living room introduced herself. “I’m Sister Mary Harris. I teach at the school Alex attended as a child.”

“Really?” Katie responded, interested. “So you’ve known Alex for a long time then. I’d love to hear about him as a boy.”

Alex glanced in her direction. “The nuns run an orphanage along with the boarding school.”

Katie nodded, pleased that he’d gotten Dawn such a highly qualified sitter. The elderly woman commented, “You two relax and have a nice evening. Dawn and I will have a lovely time together.”

Alex glanced at Katie’s raincoat, which was buttoned to her chin and belted at her waist. She caught the faint smirk that crossed his face. He knew full well she was hiding a hot little dress under there. At least she hoped he thought it was hot. It was hard to know how to impress a man who was such an accomplished womanizer.

She’d opted for simple and classy. The black minidress was halter-necked in front with a slit that plunged nearly to her waist. She was bare all the way to the waist in back. The fabric hugged her every curve, highlighting the sexy pout of her breasts. The cut of the garment allowed for no bra at all under it, and her breasts were boldly outlined by the clingy fabric.

She wore impossibly tall stilettos and prayed no one would chase her and Alex tonight. There was no way she could run in these shoes. She’d spent the afternoon getting her legs waxed and polished, and while she was at it, she’d gotten a Brazilian bikini wax. Her nether
