It wasn’t until Paige had driven home and was luxuriating under the hot suds of her shower that she realized: her panties were still somewhere on his kitchen floor.

Paige was a busy woman. She had designs to produce, a store to stock, and an opening to plan. She definitely didn’t have time to sit around, lost in explicit daydreams about Declan and his miraculous mouth, but there she was, sitting in her favorite chaise—now placed right by the window, open to a cool breeze—with an embroidery needle in one hand, and her mind far from the intricate stitching in front of her.

Fifteen miles, give or take. The distance to Declan’s kitchen, where he’d done unspeakably delicious things to a bra just like this one.

She would never look at a bar of chocolate in the same way again.

Paige smiled and turned her attention back to her stitching. Although most of her business would be private commissions, she wanted some stock on display, so clients could see the different options for fabric and trim. So, she was rounding out her collection: making sure she had samples for every shape and size that might walk through her doors.

She finished up the little rosettes around the bust line and hung it carefully on a special satin padded hanger, then walked through to the storefront to add it to the slim brass rail that stood along the back wall. She looked around proudly at the sunlit space.

In just a couple of days, she’d transformed the empty room: placing a mannequin in the center of the slim window adorned with one of her favorite dusky rose lingerie sets. Aphrodite Designs curled over the glass in elegant gold script, and there was a heavy silk curtain in soft pink inviting people back into the studio space. There, Paige had set up the room in two halves: first, her workshop, with a long antique dining table to house her sewing machine, and a deep bookcase on one wall with rolls of fabric and cutting patterns. On the other side, a jewel-toned velvet couch welcomed clients—and their guests—to relax, with the bathroom serving as a changing room, and a raised dais placed in front of the full-length standing mirrors to assess and admire the fitting.

It was the space of her dreams, just as she’d pictured it the very first time Paige had stepped foot through that red front door.

Now all she needed were some customers.

Paige looked hopefully through the window at the busy street outside. She was technically open for business, as of that morning. Eliza and Mac were helping her plan an opening party later on, but Paige hadn’t been able to resist flipping that sign in the doorway to “open” ahead of schedule. Just to test the waters, she’d told herself.

Well, right then, the waters seemed awfully shallow.

Paige loitered by the Art Deco console she was using as a counter. She’d already sent emails to her entire client list and received a flurry of congratulations and promises to drop by the store, but clearly, nobody was doing it today.
