Kelly was the kind of girl you went out of your way to impress, so that’s exactly what I did. I shot home during my lunch break and pulled out my black suit, the one reserved for only the most important engagements.

This was one of them.

At five, I snuck out of my office and went to use the shower in the exec bathrooms. I took the time to do my hair, taming it into a style I’d spotted in a men’s magazine a few weeks back. The suit had been custom-made, a college graduation present from my parents, and I looked pretty damn good. Sure, it was uncomfortable and I’d have much rather been in a pair of faded jeans and a baggy tee, but Kelly was worth the effort.

My shiny black shoes, which pinched my toes, squeaked on the glossy bathroom floor as I left. By the time I strode down the corridor, the office was pretty much empty. Kelly was no longer at reception, so I dumped my stuff in my office then headed back to wait for her.

She appeared less than a minute later, looking so damn sexy my mouth actually fell open.

“Holy beautiful,” I breathed.

Her hips swayed as she approached me. They were kind of mesmerizing and hard to take my eyes off. She was dressed in a simple, black number that hugged her perfect curves and ended just above the knee. The neckline was low and scooped with sparkly thingies lining the edge. Her diamond drop earrings matched a small clip in her hair, which was knotted loosely at the side of her head. Long tendrils kind of framed her face. She looked like a freaking movie star.

It was a battle not to feel like a scruffy hobbit next to her. The heels she was wearing gave her at least four inches on me. I didn’t know how the hell she walked in those things, but they made her legs a mile long.

I cleared my throat as she stopped in front of me. “You look…” I gazed into her eyes and smiled. “Beautiful.”

“Thank you.” She was used to hearing that. I could tell by her glazed expression and the polite way she tipped her head.

“So.” I clicked my fingers and smacked my hands together. “Should we get going?”

“Of course.” Her smile was demure and checked.

I followed her to the elevator, studying her out of the corner of my eye. Her shoulders were tense. There was something holding her back, like she was trying to keep it together. I wanted to chip away at her irritating affectations, bring her around to the giggling, carefree girl on our Disneyland date, but I had a sinking feeling it was going to take a little more effort. I was entering her world, and the terrain would no doubt be harder to navigate.

We caught a taxi to the restaurant. I couldn’t figure out why we hadn’t taken one of our cars but chose not to question it. Maybe she didn’t want someone on her side of town recognizing her car, or maybe she planned on getting us both drunk.
