…Leigh turned back to the silk lingerie strewn on the bed. The ensemble had been a luxury, that was for sure, but she knew both she and Alec would love it. She stepped into the g-string and pulled it into place. It was different from anything she'd worn in years, and Leigh felt excitement pulse through her again. Tonight is going to be fun.

She lifted the translucent cranberry gown over her head and let it float down around her. The silk felt like a lover's touch skimming over her breasts and hips. She walked to the mirror and couldn't help giggling. She had the overwhelming urge to wiggle her hips and walk like she was on a high-fashion catwalk. Giving in to impulse, she swayed across the room, and giggled again. She'd have to do that tonight, too. Alec would love it.

Hhhmmm…something's missing. Leigh spotted her shoes sticking out from under the bed. Clogs…ever so sexy!

She pulled open the closet door and pushed aside several pairs of running shoes, slippers and some flip-flops. Ah-ha! She found what she was looking for—heels she'd bought a few years before to wear with a cocktail dress for Alec's company Christmas party. They were silvery bronze, strappy, slip-on sandals with four-inch stilettos. She brushed off some dust and set them on the floor.
