Chapter Ten

I had more than an hour to get ready. I stretched out on the sofa, mentally revising my wardrobe. Should I dress casually or aim to be a knockout? The latter, definitely the latter. If I wanted to help Carter get over his wife, I needed to take out the heavy artillery.

Would this be a triple F date? Food, fun, and … fireworks. The kind of fireworks I had in mind were those that exploded internally. It had been a long time since I’d had any kind of action between the sheets. But would Carter be interested in fireworks? Considering the kisses we’d shared, I thought he might be.

I sat up and marched into the bathroom. I bunched my hair under a shower cap and took a quick shower. Afterwards, I massaged scented lotion all over my body.

I stared at my reflection in the mirror. Was I wrong to think about having sex with Carter? We barely knew each other. We’d seen one another three times—the day he helped me up in the park, the casual drink on the patio the night he’d driven me home, and the mind-blowing kisses yesterday. None of those had been dates, but I wasn’t sure how to qualify the consoling visit that had ended with me in his arms, his lips glued to mine.

I frowned. Was it too soon for us to have sex? Usually, I was Miss Prim and Proper, but somehow it didn’t feel too soon to make love to a man who made me feel like no one else ever had. In the past, I’d gone out for months with my former boyfriends before we’d become lovers.

I’d never been one to have sex with a virtual stranger—the one night stands I’d read about in so many of the books Corinne recommended—nor had I ever slept with a guy on our first date, although I thought Carrie might have. Technically, for Carter and me, this was our first date, and while I knew lots about him, there was so much more that I didn’t. As usual, I was getting ahead of myself. I would let the night play out and see where it led, and if that was to bed, well then the Fates had spoken. I was just nudging them my way.

I brushed my hair, letting it flow down my back and shoulders. Wearing only my lace panties, I strutted to the closet and checked out my selection. Carrie had my black lace, so that was out of the question. I pulled out dress after dress—too bold, too prim, too warm for the weather—you know the drill.

Finally, I opted for a red, backless dress that gloved my body, clinging to every curve. Thin halter straps, tied at the base of the neck, held the dress in place. I couldn’t wear a bra with it, but the material was thick enough to keep me decent. In the dim evening light, no one would notice the subtle hint of nipples beneath it, which would increase if the night air cooled.
