Shopping for a CEO's Fiancee (31 page)

“She would use Spritzy.”

“That’s supposed to be better?”

“Spritzy is a dog. Not a cat. A cat as a flower girl is crazy. A dog is just silly.”

“You have a spectrum stored in your mind that is calibrated in ways I cannot fathom.”

She ignores that and says, “Montelcini Flowers is
not
doing our wedding.”

“Agreed.”

“This is really happening, Andrew? You’re sure?”

“You keep asking me that. I’m going to stop answering. I’ll have Gina make a big sign that says
Yes, I’m sure
and I’ll just hold it up whenever you ask.” I wish she were here so I could look her in the eye. “I wouldn’t have asked you if I weren’t sure.”

“No, you wouldn’t have. I know that. And I’m not uncertain. I think I’m just reeling.”

“Me, too.”

She laughs. “Can we have the wedding at Consuela’s?”

I grin. “Perfect. When you come home, we’ll pick a date.”

“I can’t believe you lost a three-carat ring while trying to court me.”

“I can’t believe you made me court you.”

“It worked, didn’t it? We’re engaged.”

My office door flies open and there’s Amanda, on her cell, dragging a carry-on bag.

“Surprise!” she says in stereo, in person and on the phone.

“What’s this?”

She hangs up. “Client meeting ended fast.”

“For good or bad reasons?” I give her a peck on the cheek. She pulls me in for a long, slow, wet welcome kiss that makes me wonder how quickly Gina can clear my next meeting.

Or ten.

“I’m a fixer, right? We closed already.”

“C’mere, fiancée.”

“You c’mere, fiancé.”

The kiss. The taste of her after spending a week apart. It’s like taking that first breath when you break the surface after swimming underwater until your lungs are about to burst.

Like a male drone’s penis during sex.

Great. It’s official.

Amanda’s bad analogies are contagious.

“Why are you laughing while kissing me?”

“Because I love you.”

“And that makes you laugh?”

“Yes.”

“What are you laughing about?”

“Exploding penises.”

“Was my mom just here?”

I laugh harder. I kiss harder.

Everything gets harder.

But life just got easier.

And so did love.

A note from Julia
: I promised readers a long time ago that you would get three Shopping Series books in 2016, and I’m keeping my promise!

The next book in the series,
Shopping for an Heir
, is a bit of a departure, but no less fun! This time, we get the story of Declan’s chauffeur/sculptor, Gerald:

Gerald Wright
works
for billionaires. He never imagined he’d
become
one.

The former Navy Seal is a chauffeur by day, artist by night, so when hotter-than-ever ex-fiancée Suzanne Dayton interrupts his nude model sculpting class to serve him with inheritance paperwork from a man he’s never heard of, he assumes it’s a joke.

Turns out the joke’s on him. There’s just one catch. A big one.

And it might be Suzanne—in more ways than he ever dreamed.
