laughed and said, “Okay, then. I think we should go
out tomorrow and look at wedding dresses. I have already called and made an
appointment at a bridal salon in Beverly Hills.
“That sounds fine. Oh, shoot, I need to call Lena and Ben
and Kayla and Mik to get them over here for dinner this evening. How in the
world did I forget to do that?”
Liza said, “Not to worry, my dear. I already called them
and they will be here at 7:00. See, I told you, I got this.
Renee and Liza continued talking about the wedding.

When Elliott and Joe returned from their outing, Liza said,
“Good, you’re back. You can help me finish up for tonight. Where did you guys
go?”
Joe said, “Elliott took me to his office. Wow, babe. I
gotta tell you, Elliott has a very successful and busy practice going on. The
offices are gorgeous, it’s in a prime location, and it is very, very busy.”
Elliott laughed and said “Yeah, it’s pretty good. Don’t
know if it is on par with what you got going in New York, but I guess my little
operation is alright.”
Joe said, “Oh, it’s way past alright. You done good, my
man. Proud of ya.”
Elliott said, “Where’s Renee? Did she go out?”
“No,” Liza said. “She’s in the office looking at that
wedding venue on the computer. We’re going to look at it in person tomorrow
and pick out dresses.”
Joe looked at the time on the microwave and said, “It’s 6:00
now, so I’m going to get showered and changed. Liza, you coming?”
Liza said, “I’m right behind you. I just need to slice the
cheesecake and then I’ll be there.”
Elliott went into the office, but Renee wasn’t there, so he
checked the bedroom. She was in her closet trying to decide what to wear that
evening.
She smiled and said, “Hi, baby. I didn’t hear you come in.
When did you get back?”
Elliott kissed her soft, full lips and said, “We just got
back a few minutes ago. Liza was in the kitchen making sure that everything
was in order and Joe said he was going to get ready for this evening. So, I
hear that you were looking at wedding venues and dresses.”
Renee found the perfect outfit for that evening. A black
V-neck wrap sweater and a pair of cream-color side-zip pants. Mid-heel strappy
sandals completed the outfit. She said, “Yeah. The venue that Liza found
looks really nice online, but I really want to see if it is really that nice
for real, or did they just put select pictures on the website. As far as
dresses go, there were so many gorgeous choices, but I have an idea of what I
want, so hopefully I will find it tomorrow.”
Elliott pulled her close to him and kissed her again, this
time passionately. “Are you sure you’re okay with doing all of this? I don’t
want you overdoing things.”
Renee looked into Elliott’s dark blue eyes and said, “I
promise you I’m okay. I just get a little queasy at times, but I’m sure that
will end soon enough.”
Elliott continued kissing Renee and walked her over to their
bed. After she sat down on the bed, Elliott began to lay her down, kissing her
lips, her face, her neck.
Renee was moaning softly as Elliott kissed her and slid his
hands under her sweater. “Elliott, it is 6:15. Your parents and Kayla and Mik
will be here at 7:00 if not sooner. We probably should stop right now.”
They continued to kiss for a little bit longer and Elliott
said, “Okay, you’re right, we’d better stop before things get completely out of
control.”
Renee said, “I’m going to take a very quick shower and I’ll
be right out, okay?”
A few minutes after Renee was in the shower, Elliott was
joining her. She said, “Do you think this is a good idea right now?”
Elliott responded by pulling her close and giving her a kiss
so fiery that it made her head swim. They touched and kissed until they were
crazy with desire.
“Elliott,” Renee said, “We have to
