CHAPTER SIX
When Grady bought his first company, heâd done the whole deal on a wing and a prayer. Heâd graduated with his MBA two weeks earlier, and had a stack of cash heâd made working at a factory over the summers. Heâd spent months sweating his ass off, assembling lighting kits for operating rooms, and thinking there had to be a better way. Then heâd heard about a start-up company using robotics to do the exact job he had, and six weeks later, heâd brokered a deal to buy a vacant lot and later sell it to the start-up.
Heâd leaped, working on instinct, and it had panned out. So had the next deal and the one after that.
When the money started rolling in, heâd thought it would never end. And here he was, ten years later, once again with an empty wallet and a head full of dreams, but this time with the intention of winning over a woman, not a stubborn CEO. If heâd had the deep pockets of a year ago, he would have booked a private jet, whisked Beth off to some faraway locale for a weekend with room service and five-star meals and an on-site spa.
Instead, he showed up with a rental car and a full tank of gas. Heâd thought of buying flowers again, but figured Beth was more practical than that. At two minutes to six, he was on her doorstep, ringing the bell. Beside him, Monster started prancing at Gradyâs feet, as if he was just as anxious to see her.
Beth opened the door and Grady took in a quick, deep breath. The pale yellow sundress heâd seen her in before had been gorgeous, and tonightâs just as much so. Sheâd opted for a navy blue dress that narrowed at the waist and belled over her hips. It had an iridescent trim that reflected in the blue of her eyes, and skinny spaghetti straps, one looser than the other. The single thin strap draping over the edge of her shoulder drew his attention, and made him want to follow the path with his mouth, down, down, downâ¦
âYou are stunning.â
Her cheeks pinked and she dipped her gaze. âThank you.â
She didnât just clean up good, she became a cover model. Heâd known Beth Cooper was beautiful, but this went beyond that. âI feel like I underdressed,â he said.
She stepped forward and put a hand on the lapel of his black suit jacket. âI think you look stunning, too, Grady.â
He covered her hand with his, and he would have stood there a long time, just drinking her in, if Monster didnât pick that moment to jump up and nearly knock Grady out of the way. âHey, you, quit that.â
âMonster, sit,â Beth said. And Monster, of course, sat. She bent down to ruffle the dogâs ear. âWhatâs this?â
âA present. Better than flowers, Iâm thinking.â
She laughed as she untied the bag of dog treats that Grady had hooked on Monsterâs collar earlier. âAnd one that will make a whole bunch of puppies happy.
