“Adate?”
“Yeah.And if you wanted to put on a dress and no panties, I wouldn’t argue with you.”With a wink, Rhett closed the door before I couldrespond.
A dress with nopanties?
I looked around the room as though someone else could confirm what I’d just heard, but there wasnoone.
What does he have planned?I rose from the bed and stretched my arms and kinked muscles before moving to the closet where my limited wardrobe hung.My gaze locked on a navy-blue T-shirt dress with a V-neck that I wouldn’t look out of place walking around inathome.
I stripped off my shorts and panties, and pullediton.

When I enteredthe pool room after primping for ten minutes, candlelight flickered off the walls and the surface of the water from votive candles scattered across the stamped concrete decking surrounding the indoor pool.Through the tinted glass sliders, the sun was setting outside, showing me just how much I’d lost trackoftime.
Who really needed two pools anyway?I wondered at the motivation of whoever had built thisplace.
Then I pushed the thought out of my head and focused on how deliciously naughty I felt wearing a dress with no panties.I’d never done that before, and found it was something worthrepeating.
Rhett stood by a table as he lit two taller candles in the middle.He’d managed to find a button-down shirt and paired it with worn jeans but no shoes.It was averygood look on him with his messy dark blond hair and the scruff onhisjaw.
“Wow.Someone decided to goallout.”
“My mama told me to wine and dine you, and I always try to listen to what shetellsme.”
I smiled.“Isthatso?”
He nodded and pulled out a chair.“Sure is.Would you like to have a seat so I can tell you what we’re eatingtonight?”
I crossed the concrete toward him, also barefoot because nothing else had felt right, and stopped next to the table.“Thank you for doing this.It’s reallysweet.”
Rhett’s gaze dropped to my red-painted toenails and dragged up my body to my hair, pulled halfway up in a messy casual style.“You lookbeautiful.”
My cheeks heated.Not at the compliment, but at what I was about to say.“I decided to honor yourrequest.”
Hunger blazed in his green eyes.“Is thatright?”
Inodded.
“Showme.”
My heart skipped abeat.“What?”
“Show me,” he saidagain.
I swallowed.Oh hell, what did I getmyselfinto?
I reached down and caught the hem of my dress on my left side and dragged the fabric up until it hit my hip and the lack of any panties wasvisible.
Rhett didn’t move.Didn’t touch.But his stare was enough to raise goose bumps all over my skin.“That’s sofuckingsexy.”
I dropped the fabric and it slid down my thigh, but Rhett’s eyes liftedtomine.
“You’re wet right now,aren’tyou?”
