Chapter Fifteen
Charlotte threw herself into preparing for dinner with Kane’s parents like an actress desperate for an Oscar. Unfortunately, she didn’t normally dress like a low class tramp, and it hadn't been easy to find the perfect outfit. She actually ended up rooting around in her mom’s closet, hoping to find something. Her mom, being shorter, ran smaller than Charlotte, but for some reason she had a spandex minidress in a dark corner of her closet. Even better, it had a cheetah print on a magenta background. Tacky didn’t even begin to describe it.
Humming, she took a shower, dried her hair and teased it like she was hoping her dark locks would reach heaven. Then she wiggled into the dress and checked the mirror.
"Oh, that’s atrocious," she said with a delighted smile. The dress hugged her curves to the point of garish exaggeration. Slipping on a pair of black platform heels, she added some chunky gold jewelry and did dark, overdone make-up to match. The final touch was painting her nails gold and topping the polish with press-on rhinestones.
Growing up in Glen Vine, she’d known Kane and his family almost her whole life. With her Dad having served as mayor of the small town, she could say that about almost anyone. She knew what church people went to and how often, as well as what cars they drove, and how they dressed. Kane’s parents were good people. She would horrify them.
"Exactly as planned," she said to her reflection in the mirror.

Kane arrived promptly at six. Charlotte opened the door, and her heart gave a hard thump at the sight of him. He looked great in tight black jeans and an equally tight navy t-shirt. Even worse, he smelled divine. Like pine and aftershave and things Charlotte’s wolf wanted to bury her nose in.
"Evening, Sheriff," she said, hoping her voice didn’t sound breathy. She was having a hard time breathing all of a sudden and her nipples had dialed themselves into hard little points inside her bra. Just from looking at the man. Damn.
He looked her over from head to toe. "You look…" He trailed off, his eyes widening as he struggled to find the right word.
She took pity on the man and offered some suggestions. "Awful? Like a harlot on her way to church? Like a tramp hoping to make rent?" She put a hand on her hip and vamped for him. "Like the girl no one takes home to her parents?"
"To me, you look beautiful," he said simply. "And I love your perfume."
"I’m not…" Now it was her turn to trail off. She wasn’t wearing perfume, but decided it was better not to say anything. With a bright smile, she said, "Shall we go? Just let me get my purse."
***
Kane’s parents lived in a large wood cabin with big windows and a view of Lake Michigan. The sun hung low in the sky as dusk approached, glimmers of light filtering through the trees ringing their property. His parents greeted her with happy smiles and open arms.
