As the cab pulls up outside the little rural pub, my mind drifts back to our last pub date here. A smile spreads across my face, and by the way Adam’s eyes darken, I assume he knows where my thoughts have gone as I glance over the road to the telephone box. He sends me a salacious grin and lifts my hand to his mouth, placing a soft kiss on my knuckles and causing butterflies to fill my belly.

After paying the driver, Adam slides out of the car, walking around to my side and helping me out too.

“Those heels are an accident waiting to happen,” he says, taking in my Christian Louboutin diamante stilettos with a cynical shake of his head.

“These shoes are stunning and deserve to go to the ball, thank you very much!” I knew we were getting a cab, with little walking involved; wearing them to complete my ensemble was a no-brainer, especially now the snow has eased. He chuckles at my response and pulls me in for a quick kiss.

“I agree.” He winks with his grin higher to one side. “But I think they’ll look better on their own.”

“Easy, darling, it’s going to be a long evening for you,” I tease him as he pulls away, taking in his fill.

Running the top of my foot down my calf, I swallow down the sudden cold that envelops me.

Damn weather always ruining my fun!

The wind is icy, and a shiver rolls through me, but Adam notices and wraps his arm around me, pulling me close as we make our way toward the entrance.

The pub is just as cute as I remember with twinkling lights hanging in the windows and a holly wreath on the old wooden door. It would make the perfect Christmas card. Once inside Adam gives them the party name, and a young server leads us to our table by the fire. We’re the first ones here, and I release a breath I didn’t realize I was holding. I don’t know why I’m so nervous. I’ve met Louis and Harriet before. I think it’s the idea of the outside world touching our little fantasy. Until now, it’s just been us. Our perfect little fairy tale. Now reality is making an appearance, and I’m not sure if I’m ready for it.

Adam, ever the gentleman, helps me out of my coat before pulling out my chair for me and taking the seat beside me. His eyes rove over my dress, an off-the-shoulder, royal blue velvet number that clings to me in all the right places.

Giving me one of his sinful smirks, he leans into me and whispers, “Apt that you’d wear blue when it’s going to be the color of my balls by the end of this evening.”

A less than ladylike snort leaves me as a waitress comes over and Adam orders a bottle of wine. The soft melody of Christmas carols plays in the background while we play footsie under the table. I’m starting to wish we’d stayed in, but I know tonight is important for him business-wise.
