BRIELLE

It had been so long since I had been out on a proper date. The last one was well before my one-night stand with Mason. It would be sad if it wasn’t self-imposed. Between the men my parents set me up with, and the ones who were only after my trust fund, I was exhausted. So much of my dating life revolved around money and status and I wanted no part of it any longer.

My night with Mason was supposed to scratch an itch and nothing more. I wasn’t expecting much, even though he looked the way he did. In my experience, being built for sin was not a promise of anything. Mason, however, rocked my world in ways I didn’t even know were possible.

So, there I was staring at the wardrobe options that Evie brought over. She had a gig and couldn’t stay to help me choose an outfit, but at least she had the good sense to bring me enough options to play around with. She even brought me a wide selection of shoes to choose from.

Mason got Jacob to do the same thing for him earlier that morning, though his brother only brought a pair of dress pants and long-sleeved button-down shirt. I received a text from Mason late in the afternoon to tell me that reservations had been made at an upscale Italian restaurant not too far from Milo’s house. Jacob would be babysitting for the evening. Cassie had offered to join him but the two-hour return drive made no sense. It was bad enough Mason and Jacob were doing it daily, I didn’t want anyone else in that traffic. Evie had done it that afternoon as well.

With the bottles of expressed milk in the fridge and the warming instructions written down, I could finally get dressed.

The little research I did on the restaurant told me that it wasn’t overly formal, but it also wasn’t family friendly. I immediately dismissed the dark skinny jeans and matching cropped blazer combo. Either I could go with the red jumpsuit with the loose jacket or the maroon pinafore with tights combo. The weather was cool enough for either, but with the pinafore I would get to show off my boots.

The tights weren’t exactly sexy, but they would keep my legs warm, and they looked good with the outfit. Deciding what to do with my hair was another story. The easiest thing would be to leave it down but the whole point of this date was that Mason and I needed to make an effort. As methodically as possible I twisted several thick strands into a loose bun until all the hair looked like it was in a sophisticated updo.

A knock at my bedroom door drew my attention. For the purposes of the date, I decided to get dressed in the room I originally chose. Neither Mason nor I used the master, figuring that it likely belonged to Milo even if he didn’t spend a lot of time in Beverly Hills.
