Chapter 12

“You don’t have to do this, Poppy. It sounds all fine and good when there’s nothing else to do in the middle of a storm, when you’re stranded here. But I’m not one of your celebrity clients, Yankee girl.” Brandon stood in all his sexy glory in front of her, his back to one of many of the door-sized mirrors in his closet. He wore a suit as finely cut as any Poppy had purchased for her customers. It was day three of being stormbound, day three of advising Brandon on how to carry himself.

It was day three of pure torture for her sorely neglected lust.

“Quiet. I can’t hear myself think.” Which was true. Her thoughts were drowned out by her incessant desire for him. She held up several different ties, settling on a silk cranberry. “Change your shirt. White’s too stark. Try the pale blue.” She turned toward the racks of clothes, mostly very bayou, very casual, to avoid looking at his naked chest. The stillness behind her told her he wasn’t moving.

“You don’t have to get all shy now, Brandon. I’m the one you were trying to hump next to Sonja’s car, remember?”

“I’m trying to keep from getting ill is more like it.” It’d been like this since they’d agreed she’d coach him through his fashion and protocol choices. Banter but never the all-out flirting that would get them into hot water higher than the bayou’s flood.

“Okay, you can turn around.”

She turned and looked him over. “That looks good. You have one ‘conservative’ suit, after all.” She made air quotes in the small space.

“It feels so damn stiff.” He tugged at the tie but she looked south when he said ‘stiff.’ “Stop staring at my crotch, Poppy.”

Heat singed her cheeks and she deliberately shifted her attention back to his jacket. The navy suit, pale blue shirt, and contrasting tie were perfect. Except. “Maybe we should try the lemon tie.”

“No. Red is the most conservative I’ve ever worn, and it’s better to err on the serious side, right?”

“Hmm.” She tugged on his shoulders as he finished tucking his tie in and buttoned his suit coat. “This fits you perfectly.”

“It wasn’t off the rack. I had it made in Hong Kong on a whim.”

“Obviously.” She walked back around to face him. “Now let’s go over your pitch. First for the State Department, then for the ship buyers from San Sofia.”

He tugged at the tie he’d just knotted. “I’ve got it, Poppy. I’m tired of going through it. You must have a ton of work to do for your nationwide brand launch.”

“No, not really.” It wasn’t a lie. She’d neglected to mention that she didn’t have the job anymore. If she said it aloud, it’d be game over for her denial, which was keeping her pretty steady at the moment. “Any idea when the Wi-Fi will be back?”

He slipped off the tie. “No. It’s one thing to have the generator, as it ensures power. But I can’t control access to the satellites.
