Jane,

I saw this and thought
of how damn sexy you would look in it. Please consider wearing it for our date tonight.

P.S there is lingerie at the bottom that I EXPECT you to wear.

Jane blushed. What did he purchase for her? She ripped the tissue paper to the side and gasped. He bought her the new Valentino deep teal V-neck dress. It was gorgeous! Of course she was going to wear it. Was he crazy? She pulled the dress out and held it up to her. Oh it was perfect. It was going to be a tight dress but she never minded showing off her curves and it was just long enough that she was not going to look like a hooch.

She looked in the box to find the lingerie he picked out for her and laughed. She pulled out the skimpiest thong she ever laid her hands on, how they even got lace on it was beyond her and there was a matching black lace bra to go with it. The bra was a push up bra with barely any nipple coverage she hoped everything got covered up. She was going to wear them no matter how uncomfortable they might be because Brady picked them out and she wanted to fulfill his every fantasy.

She couldn’t wait for their date tonight. Not only was she going to be with Brady physically for the first time, he was taking her out and after three days of him being out of town she really needed some Brady time. They talked on the phone every night which kept her sane but she could really use some physical action and she planned on getting as much as possible tonight.

Chapter 15

Brady pulled into Jane’s apartment complex. She really lived in a nice area but he thought how nice would it be if she lived with him? Wait, what? Live with him? Where did that thought come from? They hadn’t even had sex yet and he was already picking out wallpaper for the both of them? Slow down buddy, one step at a time.  

The thing
was he thought he could really spend his life with Jane. She made him laugh again and she didn’t treat him like some rich baseball player. She saw his soul and appreciated who he was as a person, not what he did or how big his bank account was. Yes he did ravish her with gifts but he wanted to. It was the people who expected material possessions from him who he didn’t like buying things for. She didn’t expect expensive items, romantic get-a-ways or pricy dinners from him. She just wanted him for who he was. 

He walked to her apartment and heard something
rustling around in the bushes next to the door which nearly sent him falling down the stairs. God, he was skittish tonight, must have been Mr. Medez’s cat. That thing was always prowling the apartment complex pissing on everything in its sight. Brady gathered himself and knocked on Jane’s door, when she opened the door Brady was taken aback by Jane. She instantly took his breath away. 

She was wearing the dress he picked out
for her and she looked more beautiful than he ever expected. The dress was just cut low enough in the neckline where he got a great view of the amazing rack she had and the dress was just short enough where he got a great look at her slim tan legs. She wore black glittered high heels and her cute little toes that peaked out were painted the same color as the dress. She had a radiant smile plastered across her beautiful face and her hair begged for his fingers to run through it. Yup, he was a goner. She had him wrapped around her little finger.

She pulled him inside grabbing the lapels of his jacket and pulled him down toward her. Her lips encased his and he lost all thought. When she finally pulled away his eyes slowly opened. He most likely looked like some love sick puppy but he didn’t care. She was amazing.

“Jesus, you look gorgeous.” Brady said in a raspy voice.

“You look pretty good yourself
, handsome.” Jane smiled. 

He was wearing black pants and a white button up with the collar open a little at the top and a black suit jacket. Nothing too fancy and nothing compared to her.

“Do you like the dress?” Brady asked while spinning Jane around. She had so much grace it was incredible. Her hair floated and bobbed in curls while her eyes glistened with lust.

“I love the dress, thank y
ou so much. You seriously didn’t have to buy it for me. I feel bad I have nothing for you.” 

“You don’t need to give me anything but yourself.” Brady rubbed his thumb pad against her jaw and tilted her head
up for another kiss. He couldn’t get enough of this woman. “Did you like the lingerie?” Brady murmured in between kisses. 

Jane squeezed her body
closer to him so she leaned right against his crotch and whispered. “I loved it. I was planning on going commando until you sent these over to me. I must say my tits look spectacular and my ass is looking damn fine in the thong you picked out as well. I hope you are ready for it?”

Brady cleared hi
s throat and nodded. He couldn’t seem to get any clear thoughts in his head. He took her hand and helped her lock up her apartment. While she locked her door, he ran his hands up and down her body and kissed the back of her neck. Then there was a flash of light. Startled, they both looked at each other with confusion. 

“What was that?” asked Jane

“I don’t know that was weird.” Brady didn’t like the feeling he was getting. “Let’s get going, we have places to be.”

They walked out of the apartment complex right as a man jumped out of the bushes and started taking pictures of them
and asking questions about who Jane was and where Laney was at the current moment. Brady’s blood instantly boiled. He made Jane duck as he put his hand up.

Do not punch this guy’s lights out just get to the car he thought. Brady opened the door for her
, swearing under his breathe, this was exactly not what he needed or wanted. He wanted to give Jane a romantic, calm night, the last thing he needed was the paparazzi following them around. Brady climbed in his car and slammed his hands on the steering wheel. Jane jumped out of her seat. 

He leaned over and looked at Jane. She looked terrified. He
grabbed her hand and said, “I’m sorry babe, I didn’t mean to scare you. I’m just frustrated right now. I had such a great night planned for us but anywhere we go this ass fuck is going to follow us and document our every move.”

Jane rubbed her thumb against his hand. She looked at him with loving eyes and said, “Brady you don’t have to impress me anymore, I don’t mind skipping the plans you had for us, I just want to be with you. Is there somewhere
else we can go where we can be alone?”

Brady smiled at Jane, yes there was. He put the car in drive and took off
, leaving the dickhead in the dust. 

                                                                                    ***

Jane was feeling more relaxed once the tension in Brady’s jaw loosened up. She could understand how he felt. She couldn’t imagine being in the public eye, being scrutinized for every move he made or every person he dated.

All of a sudden a horrible thought went through her mind. Was he so mad because he got caught taking a girl out like her? Was he embarrassed because she was not the celebrity type he was use
d to dating? She couldn’t help herself, she had to ask because she needed to clear her head of those thoughts. 

Jane cleared her throat. “Brady, umm…did you not want to proceed with your plans because the paparazzi spotted you and you were embarrassed of me?”

Brady nearly crashed the car. He pulled off on the side of the highway and whipped his whole body around so fast she thought he looked like some action hero in a movie. 

“Yo
u’re kidding me right? You’re not serious with that question.”

Jane
looked down at her lap and replied, “I don’t know, you seemed to be in an awful hurry to shield me away from the camera and then you cancelled everything. I guess I’m just a little self-conscious. You are this amazingly gorgeous, famous man and I’m just an event planner who happened to get lucky.”

She could feel Brady’s eyes burning a hole through her but she couldn’t look at him. She was ashamed for asking the question but could not help herself. She could not be with someone who was embarrassed of her. 

Brady took her head in his hands and looked her directly in the eyes. “Jane, I’m by no means even close to being embarrassed of you. I will show you off to everyone I know if you want but I’m nervous all the guys would be drooling all over you. I was trying to protect you. You shouldn’t have to deal with stupid editors making up stories just to sell some shitty magazine. You are beautiful inside and out and I love the fact that you’re making a name for yourself. You’re so strong-willed. I just don’t want our dating each other to screw up any hard work you’ve put into your business, so I was trying to protect you. Do you understand me?”

Jane nodded her hea
d. She turned toward him and looked into the green valleys that were his eyes. They were full of concern for her well-being. She felt stupid for asking that question but she was glad she knew the answer. She kissed Brady gently on the lips. She thanked him and entwined her hand with his. She believed him, she just had to make sure he wasn’t ashamed of her. He made it very well known that he was attracted to her but there was always that little voice in the back of her head that made her think because she wasn’t in the lime light like he was she was not good enough. She stashed away those thoughts as they rolled up to what looked like a miniature mansion.

“Where are we?” Jane asked.

Brady turned to her and smiled. “My house.”

“House?”
Jane said breathless. “Oh my God, it’s amazing. I could never imagine living in a place like this.”

Jane briefly thought she saw Brady cringe but
he continued to smile and park the car. He opened her door for her and led her inside.

The foy
er was grand. It had a huge wrap around staircase and a beautiful crystal chandelier hanging down the center. It was very sleek and stylish. He didn’t have much color though nor decorations. It was very plain, very much a bachelor pad. Brady set his keys on a side table and led her to the back yard. There were candles floating in his massive pool and flowers everywhere. Off to the side there was a table set for two and what seemed like food under metal containers. Light intimate music was playing through outdoor speakers. She turned to Brady and he grinned like a fool. 

Jane playfully nudged him and said, “You planned on taking me here all along, didn’t you?”

Brady nodded. “Yes I did, I wanted you all to myself. I really was pissed about the photographer though, that was not in the plan. I could have taken you to a million different places but what I really wanted was to be intimate with you in our own setting.”

“It’
s perfect Brady, beyond perfect.”

“Shall we?” Brady waved his hand toward the table. She nodded.

The table had the most gorgeous linens she had ever seen in deep purple hues. There were flowers in all jewel toned colors spread throughout the pool area and draped over the table. If she didn’t know any better she would have guessed Brady hired someone to decorate but knowing him he did everything himself.

He pu
lled her seat out for her and lifted the metal container off her dish. She laughed out loud. Sitting on her plate was fried chicken, mashed potatoes and corn bread.

“Nothing like a good southern meal to set the mood.”
Brady said.

Jane took her napkin, tied it around her neck and said, “Agreed!”

She dug in, but she didn’t eat too much. She knew what the plan was for tonight and she didn’t want to feel all gross and bloated from the fried chicken. She loved fried chicken but she needed to be at her sexiest.

Brady put a stop to her thought process when he asked her, “What are you thinking about over there sweet thing?”
 

“Oh dessert of course.”
Jane said winking.

“How do you know there is going to be dessert?”

“Oh there’s dessert and I’m looking right at it.” She licked her lips, boy she couldn’t wait for dessert. Brady looked so good tonight. The glow of the candles beamed off his bare chest that seductively poked through his white button up shirt. He left a couple buttons undone nearly making her pass out. He had the best looking chest she had ever seen on a man and she could not wait to run her hands all over it tonight. 

Brady gave her a very sexy grin that would
turn her legs into jelly if she was standing. “All in good time sweet thing, now tell me, water or land?”
