Liz wondered whether she should go upstairs It felt kind of nosy to snoop around his place She knew that he had given her the key, but this was different from the lake house This place had Brady written all over it The house even s she couldn’t help herself, she picked her dress up in one hand and wandered up the stairs She opened up two guest roo the master suite The room was so Brady she had to stop and stare all around her Navy blue and tan accented the dark hardwood furniture A picture of the lake house was fra of a sailboat on stretched canvas was h dresser stood a collage of picture fra some as old as pictures of hi what must have been a baby Savannah in his ar to punch hiraduation and election to the State Senate It was like a picture catalog of his life, and it made her smile She hadn’t seen any pictures at the lake house

Liz tore her eyes away from the pictures and walked over to the tall bed She ran her hands along the co it was down and likely very expensive, and on the right side of the bed was a note sitting on top of a pillow She held in her giggle as she took it in her hands, flipped it open, and read the contents

Liz bit her lip and s out He would have had to plant this note before he left for the night, whichher back here all along

It still didn’t ala…especially when he hadn’t told her about it But it sure lessened the blow, knowing this was all for her

Liz re dress, located one of his white button-downs, and pulled it on over her head She hung the dress in his walk-in closet that was full of expensive suits, dress shirts, and ties Then she wandered back downstairs to wait for Brady

The sound of the garage door opening ; she had been oing to be back, and waiting had made her antsy

Liz lounged back on the couch, not wanting to look flustered, and popped one of her knees up She took a deep breath

A door off of the foyer opened and closed, and she heard footsteps approach the living roo out of his tuxedo jacket when he stepped through the archway A sht of him

His eyes landed on her, and he ss out on the couch toward hihtly on thehis jacket on the arm of the couch, kicked off his polished shoes, and loosened the bow tie at his neck "I heard you had another chat withthe top button of his shirt and sliding his hands into his pockets

She stared up at hi," he said, "but why does he no you as Liz Carmichael?"

Liz furrowed her brow Carmichael Clay shouldn’t know that name Then it came back to her "The valet called me Ms Carmichael," she told him

Brady tsked and walked forward to sit next to her on the couch He ran his hands up her thighs with an urgency that said he had wanted to do it all night He stopped at the edge of her shirt

"That’s supposed to behis lips to kiss across her thighs

"Only for you," she whispered, her chest rising and falling Her body was heating frory with rowled, nipping her leg

She squeaked as her whole body tensed "Are you going to forgive me?"

"You should have," she told hihtened andhis shirt "In the bathrooht me off, baby, I would have had you bent over the sink and taken you right then and there," he said, re clothes

She stared up at hiet enough of that body, and he was always so…ready for her She wanted hith of his he had done to her Her ination in that instant
