Chapter Seventeen

“How much would you hate me if I asked for an extra hour today at lunch?” Shaelyn asked her cousin as she refitted a mannequin with a new satin thong.

Anna put down a pair of lacy underwear. “Is everything okay? Do you have a doctor’s appointment?”

Flushing at the memory of Josie Beveau talking about OB-GYN role-playing with her husband, Shaelyn gave a quick shake of her head. While she was eager to get Brady naked, she’d leave the role-playing to the professionals. Her days as a decoy were thankfully over, and the next time she got a guy into bed, she planned to do so as Shaelyn Lawrence, only.

“Um, not exactly.” Admitting that she was less than three hours away from sexy times with Brady was a whole lot harder than she’d thought.

“Is something wrong with Elaine?”

Shaelyn bit the inside of her cheek. “Meme’s fine. Cranky, wild, off her rocker, the usual.”

Anna laughed. “I want to be like her when I grow up.”

Recalling the previous night’s conversation with Meme Elaine at the helm, Shaelyn conceded that Anna had a point. Elaine Lawrence wasn’t scared to grab life with two hands. She was a woman who meant what she said, and said what she thought. Maybe she’d do well to take a few pointers from the Lawrence matriarch . . .

“I’m going to have sex with Brady today.”

Shaelyn clapped a hand over her mouth. Her cheeks burned with hot embarrassment, and she suddenly wished she had something to fiddle with, as opposed to just standing there with her hands at her sides, her defenses down.

And okay, it was just Anna but still. Shaelyn didn’t do girl-talk and she certainly didn’t spill secrets . . . . Come to think of it, she did feel kind of airy. There were no unicorns, no rainbows, no pots of treasure awaiting her at the end of this particular tunnel, but the anxiety cloaking her all morning was gone.

She wanted to have sex with Brady. She was going to have sex with Brady. She might as well own it.

“I was hoping, since I’m working a double, I could take off a bit early.”

Yup, she’d just crossed into Do-Not-Enter territory: telling your boss that you wanted to leave work to have sex.

This was a new low. Or a new high, depending on how you looked at it. Shaelyn laughed at the sheer ridiculousness of the situation. She, the girl who had kissed so many people for the sake of a job, was finally going to get laid, and she was leaving work to do it.

The irony would have been funny if it weren’t so painful.

When her cousin did nothing but stare at her, open-mouthed, seeds of doubt wriggled into Shaelyn’s head. She was totally being judged. And that was okay, really. It was stupid, totally unprofessional, to even suggest such a thing. Lust had made her crazy—she hadn’t been thinking with her head so much as she had with her lady parts.

“No worries,” she said, awkwardness raising the pitch of her voice.
