“You set the bar very high,” she says.“That was a ten.”
I run my hand over her hair.“Not a bad first kiss, right?”
“Well worth the wait.”She grazes her fingertips over my back, whispering.“I really like you.”
“I really like you, too.”
“What’s your favorite food?”
“Brisket and mashed potatoes.How about you?”
“Tacos and queso.”
I run my palm over her ass, squeezing it.“I’ve wanted to get my hands on you for so long, but if I’m ever too much, tell me.”
“How could you be too much?You’re so easy to be with.”
“I mean in bed.I could tie you to this bed and fuck you every which way all night long, but that might be too much for you.”
“Or not.”
I smack her ass lightly.“You’re making me hard.”
“Are you ...easygoing everywhere else and dominant in the bedroom?”
“I don’t have to be if you don’t like that.But if you’re asking whether I’d like it, yeah, I would.”
“I’ve never had that, but I think ...yeah.I’d like it a lot.”

Blair
I take one look at Jules when she steps onto the pedestal at a Manhattan bridal boutique and burst into tears.
“Stop,” she says with a laugh, meeting my gaze in the mirror.“Now you’ve got me crying.”
“That’s the one.”I sniffle, trying to compose myself, but I just end up crying more.“It’s perfectly you.”
It’s ivory, with a fitted bodice that has a V-neck and cap sleeves made of lace.At the waist, it flows into an airy skirt with a sheer top layer.It’s modern, but vintage-inspired.
“What do you guys think?”Jules turns to face her bridesmaids, all gathered in chairs.
“I’m with Blair,” Talia says.“I wouldn’t change a thing about this dress.
“It’s so lovely,” Suki says.“You look radiant.”
“I love it,” Mara says.
“That’s the one for sure,” Lainey says.
“You guys!”She grins happily.“This is only the third one and we’re done!We’re hitting the town tonight.”
Hudson McClain offered Jules the use of one of his private planes for this trip to New York City for wedding-dress shopping.He also made a call to a wedding planner who set up appointments for us—one at a boutique yesterday where we settled on bridesmaid dresses, and one today at a boutique that caters to some of the wealthiest, most powerful people in the world.
Jules told the sales consultant, Will, that she didn’t want to know the prices of anything.She wanted to choose based on what she loved, without price being a factor.
“The designer will tailor this to you,” Will says.“It’s already stunning, but we can have a corset sewn in if you want a snatched look, and we can bring in the bust slightly.”
