Chapter Eleven

By day, Harper worked to balance production in the three divisions of her business, accomplishing more in much less time than she had in the months before Foster came into their lives. Being able to fill orders faster more than paid Foster’s salary, and she found herself actually spending some time designing new dresses, both for her human customers as well as the doll and stuffie line.

As her hands worked, stitching beads, cutting cloth into pieces that would become dresses for girls or dolls, and sewing the parts into whole dresses, Foster remained in the front of her thoughts.

Finally, she sewed the last bead onto the bodice of the bridal gown. The final fitting and delivery appointment was scheduled for two days hence, and she hoped the bride would be as happy with the dress as she was.

Once this commission was delivered and paid for, she would focus on finishing the orders for the stuffed animals and doll clothing to try to get ahead for the upcoming holidays. She also had to finish the dresses for the fashion show that was rapidly approaching.

Each night as Harper lay in bed, she remembered and replayed the single night she had spent with Foster in her bed. Those memories then bled into her dreams before morphing into more. So much more. She woke needing … something, though she hesitated to put a name to the achy want that had settled in her soul.

That night, after finishing the wedding dress and finding orders and prepayment for a dozen doll dresses in her email, she needed a way to celebrate. And though she had a feeling Foster only meant to kiss her cheek as a step up from simply saying good night, at that moment, she desired more. So much more.

The kiss that grew more heated by the second burned away every argument for restraint she had come up with during the past twenty days. She moved by instinct, asking to keep the change in their relationship from her daughter before leading the man to her bedroom. Closing the door, she pushed the lock in the knob to keep Miranda from interrupting them as she had that first night, that only night, they’d had.

The night that haunted her every moment, waking and sleeping. She would use this night to celebrate the dress and to thank the man for his help without actually saying the words. The final payment for the dress would be enough to live on for a few months while she finished the dresses for the fashion show. From that show, she hoped to gain either a job as a designer with a bigger company or a partner to grow her one-woman shop into more.

Flipping the switch that turned on the lights by the bed, she turned and froze. The next few minutes would forever change the relationship she now had with this man. This man who was big and beautiful and supportive without even knowing exactly what all she was doing when she was locked up in her room.
