“You’ve got to be kidding, Corinth. Please tell me you aren’t serious about buying anything out of this place.”

Corinthians’s dark brown eyes sparkled. She glanced around the posh room filled with scantily dressed mannequins wearing all types of sexy lingerie. “I most certainly am serious, girlfriend, and I didn’t bring you along to try and talk me out of it. I need help picking out a few items.”

Brenna stared at the mannequin in front of them wearing a sheer, short nightie. The outfit brought a blush to her light brown cheeks. “I hope you know what you’re doing.”

Corinthians frowned. “Of course I know what I’m doing. I’m doing what I should have done years ago. I’m going after the man I love. Of all people, I thought you’d be happy for me.”

Brenna turned to face her. “I don’t have a problem with what you’re doing, Corinth, but I do have a problem with how you’re going about it. Blatant underhanded seduction isn’t your style.”

Corinthians lifted her chin. “And just what’s wrong with me finally taking the initiative and going after who I want? He’s free and so am I. I’m also older and more self-assured than before. The timing is right.”

“Don’t you dare get an attitude with me, Corinthians Avery. I’m your best friend, remember. All I’m saying is that you haven’t seen Dex Madaris in over four years. He may not be the same man you remember—the same man you supposedly fell in love with.”

“And why wouldn’t he be?”

“People change. You’ve even said he’s been married and divorced since you’ve seen him last. A bad marriage changes some people. I just don’t want you to get hurt. All Dex Madaris ever wanted from you is friendship. How’s he going to feel if you suddenly force yourself on him?”

Corinthians tried concentrating on a matching edible pair of panties and a bra, and not on what Brenna was saying, but couldn’t. The two of them had been friends since grade school, and deep down she knew Brenna had her best interests at heart.

“I’m not forcing myself on him,” Corinthians finally said as they continued walking around the store. “All I’m doing is letting Dex know I want more than just friendship.”

“But what if he doesn’t want more? That will place a strain on the relationship the two of you already have. No man likes to feel cornered.”

“I have to take that chance, Brenna.”

Brenna shook her head. “I just hope you know what you’re doing.”

“I do.” Corinthians stopped in front of a mannequin dressed in a sexy, black-lace Merry Widow stretched over a G-string bikini. Garter straps held up a pair of black stockings.

Corinthians waved a well-manicured hand toward the outfit. “Well, what do you think?”

“I think you’ve lost your mind.” Brenna smothered a laugh. “And I think the person who sees you in that is in big trouble.”
