As promised, that night the guys planned an evening for the girls that included Mollie’s drink of choice. Liz went on a

shopping excursion to acquire a cocktail dress. Brady tagged along and played Pretty Woman with the associate at Bergdorf Goodman.

By the end of the encounter, Brady had insisted on a pair of Jimmy Choos and a dark magenta strapless dress that cinched at the waist to accentuate Liz’s figure.

When they returned to Chris’s apartment, Liz took over the

bathroom. After a shower, she blew out her long blond hair until it fell loose past her shoulders. She spent extra time on smoky makeup to finish off the elegant ensemble. Chris greeted her with a whistle when she exited the bathroom. Brady just shook his head at his best friend and brought his girlfriend in closer.

“You look stunning,” he told her. He kissed her once on her

nose.

“You don’t look too bad yourself,” she said.

Actually he looked fucking unbelievable in a tailored black suit

with a checked green tie that complemented her dress. And that

smile . . . as bright as the fireworks on the Fourth of July, all for her.

She could have melted right then and there.

“I think I could get used to taking you shopping if you look

this radiant in everything I purchase,” he said, assessing her.

“Am I not good enough for Brady Maxwell in a T-shirt and

sweats?”

“No. Certainly not.”

Liz arched an eyebrow. “I do hope you’re joking.”

“Someone as beautiful as you should be wearing designer

clothes at all times. It suits you.”

“Are you getting me designer sweats?” she asked.

“I’ll put in an order.”

“You’re ridiculous.”

“For you. Though you already know that I love you in whatever

you’re wearing. It’s this brain of yours that I fell for.”

“And here I thought it was my body,” she purred.

He slid his hand down the curve of her waist. “Don’t get me

started. I have a promise to keep tonight.”

“Time to head out,” Chris cal ed, interrupting the lustful glance

between them. “We still have to pick up Mollie before the show.”

Brady placed a kiss on her lips and then ushered her out the

door. She followed Brady and Chris down to the lobby of the build-

ing. A black stretch Hummer limo greeted them at the curb.

When Liz had first gone home with Brady that night at the

Jefferson-Jackson gala, she had been shocked by the luxury. Even

though she had been in a limo since that night, it still made her

heart jump. It fit them.

“After you,” Brady said.

He took her hand and helped her slip into the dark interior.

Expensive champagne chilled in a bucket, and soft music played in

the background. She had to down two glasses of champagne that

first night together to calm her nerves. She hadn’t been sure about her decision to leave with him. Now she thought it was the best one of her life.

Brady and Chris slid in after her and immediately started pour-

ing champagne for the ride. They toasted their good fortunes and

good times and sipped the crisp champagne. Liz couldn’t keep the

smile from her face.
