“That’s it?”

“Pretty much.”

“We have a good view of the water here, if you just walk across the street to the beach.”

“I’ve noticed that,” he said. “But to be honest, I’m partial to the view from this window.”

Madison smiled. “What can you see?”

“Whatever you’re willing to show me.”

With his flirting, the feeling of weak knees and liquid warmth she’d experienced earlier, while he was kissing her, returned. Madison would never have thought herself bold enough to play along with him. But he was in his house and she was in hers and loosening up a bit seemed almost…safe. At least it was safer than having him any closer.

“So, if I were to unzip my dress and let it slip down a little, like this—” she lowered her zipper and let her dress fall to just above her breasts “—you could probably see that?”

“I could definitely see that.” His voice had grown deeper, his expression—or what she could see of it—more intense. Somehow guessing at his reaction made what she was doing that much more titillating.

“And…if I were to lower it a little more, say to here—” she dropped her dress several inches more, to just below her breasts “—you could tell what kind of bra I’m wearing?”

“Black lace,” he breathed. “My favorite.”

The depth of his attention, which she could feel despite the distance, made her giddy. “And if I were to go a little farther…” she heard him suck air between his teeth as she followed suit “…you’d be able to tell if my panties match my bra?”

He groaned. “It’s a thong. What are you doing wearing a thong?”

She laughed. “It sort of went with the dress.”

“Oh, yeah? Turn around for me,” he said. “Let me get a better look.”

Taking a deep breath, she let the dress fall to the floor, stepped out of it and turned slowly in a circle.

“You’re killing me,” he said.

“Are you sure you don’t want that nightcap?” she asked, scarcely able to get the words out for the pounding of her heart.

He didn’t answer right away. Pressing his forehead to the glass, he closed his eyes. After a few seconds he finally said, “I can’t.”

“Why not?”

“Because…”

“Caleb?”

When he looked up, she took hold of the front clasp that fastened her lacy bra. She didn’t know if she had the nerve to do what she wanted to. She’d never done a striptease in her life. But neither had she ever experienced such wanton desire. “Are you sure?” she asked. Before he could answer, she unsnapped the clasp and let her bra drop onto the floor with her dress.

Caleb’s mouth fell open. He obviously hadn’t expected what she’d just done. But she didn’t regret it. The appreciation on his face was worth it.

“Beautiful,” he whispered. Then, after a brief silence, he added, “Throw on a robe and come over here.”

The pounding of Madison’s heart seemed to tap out, Hurry over there…hurry over there…not every girl gets to be with a man like Caleb…don’t miss out. But she’d promised herself she’d make good decisions.
