I continued
to eat my dinner under Jaime’s intense, watchful gaze. As delicious as the meal
was, I was losing my appetite with each bite. In fact, my gut was cramping, and
a tingling between my legs was distracting me. Why did he affect me this way?

“Mr. Zander,
aren’t you going to eat?” I asked.

A saucy
smile curled on his lips. “I’m getting rather hungry and think my meal might be
nicely heated up now.” Slowly, he lifted the silver dome covering his entrée.

My eyes

Rihanna’s diamond-studded brassiere and thong.

Speechless,

As if under

I stood semi-naked in front of him, clad only in my lacy gray lingerie and silk

My body,
indeed curvaceous, was a trembling mess. Words stayed trapped in my throat
while I tried to steady myself on my feet.

“Relax,

standing between the two of us except a blazing storm of electricity.

He squatted
halfway to the floor and clutched my thighs with his warm, manly hands. With
his teeth, he snapped open each garter. I stood motionless as he slid my silk
stockings down my long legs. His hands brushed against my skin, sending
goosebumps all over me. I anchored my palms on his broad shoulders as he
removed my shoes and stockings. The garter and my skimpy lace bikinis were the
next to hit the floor. He slipped the shoes back on my feet and then stood up
and removed my bra. My scar in full view, my body didn’t move a muscle. A
contemplative smile spread across his face as he gazed at me.

undergarments and handed them to me. Please put these on.”

My nerves
on edge, I bent over and slipped each high-heeled foot into the leg openings of
the thong and then pulled it up until the patch of diamonds covered my patch of
gold. The diamonds formed a heart—the iconic signature of Gloria’s Secret. All
our merchandise bore the insignia heart somewhere. There was even a heart
instead of a dot over the “i” in the Gloria’s Secret logo.

“Perfection. Now, the bra.”

With
jittery fingers, I put the back-closing bra on backward and fumbled with the
clasp. After hooking it, I twisted the bra around, slipped my arms into the
straps, and plumped my milky-white globes into the push-up cups. Hearts of
diamonds surrounded my erect nipples.
