“Cherie, tu es si belle,” Helene, the angel sent to do my hair and makeup, says as she clips the chain that holds the back of my dress together. “This dress is magnificent.”

“Merci,” I say as I run a hand down my body.

The front of the dress has a high neckline, very modest but still somehow so flattering with the boning around the bodice to hold everything in and up. The slit comes to the top of my thigh, the only skin that shows from the front. All the drama is saved for the back, where the dress dips to below my waist.

She gave me a neutral smokey eye and nude lip to keep my makeup subtle. My hair is swept into a low side chignon with a few face framing curls left out. The shoes that Stella chose, adorn my feet and match a small clutch barely big enough for my phone and a lipstick.

Butterflies fill my stomach as I watch Helene pack her things and leave me in the sitting room waiting for Asher. I don’t know what to expect. Everything was back to professional when we spent the morning working. He left in the afternoon for a couple hours but didn’t tell me where he went.

I look up when I hear a knock on the door frame.

Asher Bennett wearing a suit is handsome. Asher Bennett in gray sweatpants is delicious. But Asher Bennett in a perfectly tailored tuxedo is next level sexy. Every single thing about him is perfectly pieced together, right down to his perfectly tied bowtie.

“You look beautiful,” he tells me as I walk toward him, his eye drawn down to the flash of my leg.

“You haven’t even seen the best part yet.” I turn to show him my back and then look over my shoulder. “Pretty great, huh? Like the mullet of dresses. Business in the front, party in the back.”

He smiles at my comparison and runs his finger along his lip. I can always feel the intensity of his gaze, but now it burns through my blood in a completely different way. It feels like he’s devouring me with his eyes.

“You are stunning.” He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small box which he hands to me. “These are for you.”

My hands shake as I pull the ribbon free and lift the lid. Inside the box are the earrings I tried on at the boutique with the dress. The incredibly expensive earrings, the emeralds and diamonds twinkle in the light of the chandelier.

“Asher, no.” I close the lid and try to hand them back. “They’re too much.”

“I insist.” He gently pushes my hand away and moves forward. I look up into his eyes and watch as they soften, and his hard mask disappears. “Tonight, won’t be fun for me. There’s a lot of tension with my family. Seeing you in these will be a good distraction.”

“You play dirty.”

“It’s the only way to win.” He opens the box and holds it up for me.
