Welcome to another Snippet Saturday! Today’s theme is ‘shopping’! Enjoy my snippet from Ain’t Misbehavin, then blog hop to the links below! I’m also at the Aphrodisia blog if you want to drop by!
On a pre-wedding vacation to Europe with her friend, Lena learns her fiancé is cheating on her. Deciding she needs to have some fun herself, she indulges in the sexy New Yorker who’s been trying to get into her pants. But will she lose her heart in the process?
Business brings Tyler to Amsterdam, but a petite bombshell on vacation is what convinces him to stay. Each day brings them closer, and he begins to think she could be the one to curb his bachelor ways. Until he realizes that he’s just the pawn in a game of revenge.
EXCERPT
They reached the heart of the city and exited the bus, walking
around the shops and exploring at random.
Lena found a chunky silver bracelet and funky purse to buy for
Stephanie, and then picked up a necklace with an Eiffel tower charm on it
for Lakisha back at work.
The brief thought of getting Keith a paperweight crossed her mind,
but she quickly dismissed the idea. The bastard didn’t deserve the crumbs
from her croissant.
Tyler had picked up numerous gifts for his sisters and parents and
now hauled around a large shopping bag.
Suddenly, Tyler grabbed her hand and dragged her into a small
shop. He approached a sales lady and started speaking in French and
gesturing toward the mannequin in the window.
Lena frowned. What the heck was he saying? Jeez, she should have
paid more attention in French class. She went to look at the mannequin in
the window.
“Oh, no.” She shook her head. “I could never wear this. This kind
of dress looks good on tall women who are shaped like a coat rack.”
Tyler raised his eyebrows as the sales lady came over and fussed
around Lena. She scowled as she went to work figuring out her
measurements.
A moment later, the lady shuffled her into a small fitting room as
she clutched the dress. She fought the urge to hurl it over the curtain in
rebellion. With a sigh of surrender, she started to undress. When she’d
finally figured out how to put the dress on, she turned to the mirror. Her
jaw dropped.
The black fabric was silk. A thick strap curved over one shoulder,
leaving the other bare. It clung to her curves and fell just above her calves.
“It makes my boobs look great,” she murmured, running her hands
over her torso. She turned, glancing over her shoulder to get a look at her
backside. “Not bad on the butt either.”
“Lena, are you going to come out and show me?” Tyler called from
the other side of the curtain.
She started to and then paused, biting her lip. “No, I don’t think I
will. You picked a winner. I’ll get it, but I want it to be a surprise when
you see me tonight.”
There was a pause from his side of the curtain. “Okay.”
When Lena came out a moment later, she saw Tyler signing a
receipt. Her stomach clenched, and she ran toward him.
“Oh, no. You can’t buy this for me. It’s insanely expensive.”
The sales lady gave her a sharp glance but didn’t comment.
“Don’t worry about it. And you weren’t supposed to look at the price tag.”
He plucked the dress from her hands.
She sighed and wrapped her arms around him. “You didn’t need to
buy that for me.”
“I know I didn’t, but I did. Deal with it.” He dropped a quick kiss
on her lips and then tucked the bag under his arm.
Grabbing her hand, he steered her out the door.
