Liese spent the days leading up to Thursday attempting to act nonchalant at work, which proved difficult. She limited her visits to the main office as much as possible but still ended up running into Ryder. Every time she saw him, lurid fantasies popped into her head, her imagination running wild. Ryder’s “no hanky-panky” clause was going to be a giant problem.
She hadn’t factored in the impact such a bargain would have. Being the kind of person who never backed down from a challenge, she’d just agreed. In the interim between their conversation and the planned date, her “plastic friends” were getting quite the workout. Liese was almost relieved that she and Ryder would be in a public place for their evening together, because she didn’t want to be the one to forfeit.
If she could entice him enough, surely Ryder would cave and at least help her out since he’d given in before. He’d gratified her after they made up; she banked on the fact he would do it again. She’d even keep most of her clothes on, if that’s what he wanted.
On Thursday after work, Liese rushed home to get ready. She donned a slinky dress with a plunging neckline and her best push-up bra. The power of cleavage should never be underestimated. To deter potential nudity at the end of their date, she wore the one pair of granny panties she owned. Even though inviting him back to her house might be a no-no, the backseat of his Lexus was roomy. Wearing ugly underpants would deter her from making use of that option.
Ryder arrived five minutes early, looking adorably nervous and carrying a box of decadent truffles and a much nicer bouquet of flowers.
She brought the blossoms to her nose and inhaled. “These are beautiful,” she sighed as she discarded the wilted flowers from earlier in the week and replaced them with the new bouquet.
He smiled, looking pleased with himself. She sidled up to him, running her hands over his chest as she brought her body flush to his. “That was very thoughtful of you,” she whispered, batting her lashes as she kissed his lips. His hands came up to rest on her waist. Liese stepped back but he followed, pressing her against the counter as he caged her with his arms.
“I know what you’re trying to do,” he said against her mouth, the evidence of her effect on him pressed against her stomach.
“Is that so?” She snaked an arm around him.
“Mm-hmm, and it’s not going to work.”
“I have no idea what you mean.” She gave his ass a squeeze, then pushed him away and stepped around him, heading for the door. If they didn’t leave now, they’d end up on the kitchen floor. “We should probably go. Don’t want to be late.”
He dropped a juicy curse. She hid a satisfied smile as she slipped on her heels and shrugged into her coat. Ryder guided her down the porch steps to his car. Part of the charm of her tiny house came from the evergreens lining the drive.
