CHAPTER TWELVE

The A/C had been set so she wouldn’t freeze, but Kimber’s shoulders were still cold. She maintained her position on one of the stools at the breakfast bar, unwilling to move from her elegant pose.

She didn’t quite have the guts to pull off the Pretty Woman nude-while-wearing-a-tie scene—not that she’d be able to tie the dang thing—so she settled for perching on a stool in the kitchen, legs crossed, wearing the dress Glo had dropped off for her this afternoon.

Between a black and deep blue, the neck scooped down to showcase her breasts and halted mid-thigh. Glo’s boobs were too big and she claimed they kept busting out of the top (the poor dear), but Kimber chose to be grateful for the hand-me-down instead of jealous that her friend was better endowed than she. Since all of Kimber’s dresses were vintage, she’d accepted the offer of the sexy cocktail number, deciding to surprise Landon with an attempt at elegance.

Legs crossed, she waggled one very tall heel and stole a glance at the clock. Seven thirty. He was supposed to be home an hour ago, and so she’d been sitting here, waiting, trying not to muss her updo or fiddle with the costume jewelry around her neck and dangling from her ears. Landon was right. She was a fidgety person. His every move always seemed so controlled.

Her shoulders slumped. Maybe she could wait on the couch, and then when he came in, dash over to her perch and resume her poise. She hopped off the stool, staggering in the stilettos she had no idea how Glo wore with any measure of success, and caught herself on the corner of the kitchen table with one palm.

“Stupid things.” She cursed the shoes and reached for the right one, intending to take them off and toss them aside. That’s when she heard the key in the door.

Landon stepped into his kitchen expecting to find Kimber. They’d planned to get together tonight, and he was woefully late. He’d debated over what kind of apology gift to buy, but flowers and candy were out of place in this… whatever they were doing, so he’d settled for something simpler.

But he nearly dropped the potato chips and wine when he found Kimber bent forward, one hand braced on the table, a spiked heel in her other hand. Wide, jade eyes regarded him, her red lips softly pursed.

My God. She’s gorgeous.

She was gorgeous anyway, but tonight…

His eyes swept down to her breasts hanging free in the low-cut top of a patented “little black dress.” She slipped the heel back on to her foot, teetered for a second, then adjusted the hem of her dress. A lock of crimson hair fell over her eye, the rest of it arranged into some kind of twist at the back of her head. The jewelry around her neck made him want to replace it with the real deal. Because she’d look amazing in real diamonds.

In only real diamonds.

He crossed the room, setting aside his apology gifts and briefcase.
