When he spoke, his voice had lost its playful edge, and it sounded smooth and soothing. “Yeah, honestly. I’d like to get to know you.”
Her shoulders rose and fell, and she blew out a long suffering sigh. “Some came around. But because I was more prim and proper, the guys usually wound up going for Marley.” Her smile broadened. “And well…you’ve met Marley.”
He returned the smile. “Tight spandex workout pants, visible sports bra under mesh T-shirts.”
“And there I was in my gray suits.”
He rolled his eyes. “You look good in them, and you know it.”
“Thanks. I was fishing for a compliment.”
“I’m good at taking bait.” He paused, his gaze suddenly dropping to the blouse she wore beneath her suit. “You know onlookers do get occasional glimpses of…uh, lace beneath.”
She grinned. “Really? I had absolutely no idea.”
“I’ll bet.”
“Regarding my uncheckered past,” she continued, her cheeks warming with the knowledge that he’d noticed her lace lingerie. “I did manage to make much better grades than Marley in high school.”
“Now that sounds fun.”
“A blast,” she assured.
“What about after high school?”
“Marley and I went to the same college. And my pattern of dateless nights continued.”
He shot her a mock doleful expression. “And now?”
Now she was determined to break out of the box, and while she felt compelled to say so, Seth Bishop was her employee. Oh, they’d nearly kissed in the conference room at Big Apple Brides less than an hour ago, and she’d thought of taking him straight upstairs to her apartment, but she knew it wasn’t wise to mix business and pleasure. She couldn’t help but blurt out, “We work together, Seth. Uh…I’m enjoying myself, but maybe the flirtation’s going a bit too far.”
His eyes widened slightly. “Hmm…we’ve worked together for three days.”
“Meaning?”
“I could quit.”
That caught her off guard, and she guffawed. “You’d end your wedding-planner career just for me?”
His face was stone solemn. “Absolutely, Edie.”
“Couples will be heartbroken.”
“Not as much as me if you don’t let me get to know you.”
