CHAPTER EIGHT

“Get it together, Winterfell. This isn’t real. He’s just being nice.” She stared at herself in the mirror and took off the little bit of eye makeup she’d put on. “Oh, great.” All she’d done was smudge it.

Turning one way and then the other, she made sure her slip didn’t show and her dress was zipped up properly. Did she look okay? Should she change? The dress she’d chosen was just her go-to black dress, a silky little number with an empire waist and spaghetti straps. Everly liked to think it made the most of her meager bosoms, but perhaps that was just wishful thinking. She ran her hands down her hips and wished maybe the swirly skirt was an inch or two longer. “Oh, well, I guess I’ll do.”

A tap on the door told Everly her date had arrived. A nervous thrill shot through her and she wondered if it were too late to back out.

Another tap. “Everly, it’s Prince Charming!”

“Oh, good grief.” It would serve him right if she fawned all over him. She bet he’d just die if she acted like this was a real date. So right then, Everly vowed to be gracious, charming, entertaining, and not to make him uncomfortable in any way. He was doing her a favor and she was going to enjoy the evening and him.

Even if it killed her.

Going to the door, she threw it open. There he stood – in a suit! “Oh, you look good enough to eat!” she exclaimed. “Hold on, let me get my bag.”

Maverick’s ego soared. Yea, he knew he looked good. But it was nice that Everly had noticed. “I’m not early, am I?”

“No, no, you’re right on time.” She came back to him, her face full of expectation. “How do I look?” As soon as the words left her mouth, she regretted them. “Oh, never mind.”

Maverick stopped to check her out, letting his eyes rove from top to bottom and back – slowly. “You look very nice. Lovely.”

Oh, well. “Thanks.” She’d rather have heard words like ‘hot’ or ‘sexy’, but ‘nice’ and ‘lovely’ would have to do. “Will Satan be okay? Did you leave him out some food?”

“He’ll be fine.” He held out his arm for her to take. “Are you ready?”

“Oh, yes.” She said with a nod. “I’m so excited.”

He led her to his Jeep. “We could take your car if you’d rather,” he offered.

“Oh, no. I love to ride in your Jeep. Mine is so low to the ground. I might have a hard time getting out of it in these heels.” She held her leg up high so he could see she wore nearly a four-inch heel.

Maverick looked – and then he looked again. Damn, she had fine legs. Long, silky, shapely. “Are you hungry?” He could feel his own appetite rising.

“Famished,” she assured him. “Where are we going?”

He helped her in and closed her door before coming around to climb into the driver’s seat. “I’d thought about Roaring Fork, but I read a review on Yelp today that said it was so loud they couldn’t think.
