Her Gentle Giant, Part 2: Remember to Dance Read Online Free PDF

your parents worried about you a lot.”
    “They did, but they raised me to be independent and taught me to manage my money well. Plus, I’ve been lucky in my friendships. Selling ads, I felt like I knew everyone in town. I enjoyed that job, but the office environment at the paper was not to my liking. Too many catty women in each other’s business. I prefer the laidback atmosphere at Grogan Home Theatre much more. Plus, I’m working in the profession I chose as their bookkeeper.”
    “You are something, Rachel. I’m learning all kinds of new things about you.”
    “Hope you’re not easily bored.” She laughed as they joined the others in O’Reilley’s courtyard.
    Dinner was a festive occasion. Jack introduced Eli to several friends who came to greet them, and Matthew got passed around the whole time until they all had a chance to hold him and play with him. Grace especially enjoyed holding the baby, and Rachel noticed Adam and Jack’s soft smiles when they watched her cooing to him. Grace glowed with happiness, and Rachel wondered if they were planning on having kids any time soon. The food was excellent as always, and Grace and her men thanked Eli graciously when he picked up the tab.
    Eli drove Kelly, Matthew, and Rachel back to the duplex and went on to work. Kelly and Rachel composed wording for the wedding invitations and e-mailed it to Grace for her input. At Kelly’s enthusiastic urging, Rachel got herself dolled up, and Kelly drove her to the club.
    “Grace and I have monopolized your time this weekend. I don’t mind at all. Matthew’s already had his bath, so I’ll put him down when I get back to the house, and then I think I’ll watch a movie.”
    “You sure you’ll be all right by yourself?”
    “I’m positive. I’ve meant to ask you how your novel is coming along.”
    “Oh! It’s awesome! With all the downtime I had while I was at my parents, I accomplished a lot. When it’s finished, I’ll let you read it. That probably won’t be for another few weeks, depending on how much time I get with it.”
    “Is it romantic?”
    “Very, and erotic, too. You may blush a time or two or three. Heck, you may even need a cold shower.”
    “Ah!” Kelly laughed delightedly. “So you’re writing from experience?” She laughed out loud when Rachel’s mouth fell open and her face went red-hot.
    “Oh, my gosh! You did hear us that first weekend!”
    “It’s all right. You didn’t know the walls were that thin. And don’t worry. I haven’t heard you at all since then. I assumed you must have figured it out on your own.”
    “Yeah, the hard way,” Rachel replied and moved on. “So…yeah, my novel is basically smut.”
    “Oooh! Goody! So I get to read it when you’re done?”
    “Of course. You and Grace both get an autographed copy.”
    “I’ll cherish it always. Grace tells me she’s writing also. I can say I knew you before you were famous!”
    “Whatever,” Rachel said skeptically.
    “Hey! It could happen. Here we are. Have fun in there, and I’ll see you in the morning. Dance one or two for me.”
     

Chapter Thirty-two
    Grace took a deep breath and began hooking the hidden closure on the side seam of the corset. She made sure the ribbons were in two neat bows at the back and tucked the ends out of the way. Bending over, she adjusted her cleavage to the best advantage, her nipples almost peeking out of the top but still visible through the sheer black lace. Peeking over her shoulder in the mirror, she sighed happily and adjusted the strings on the G-string panty. She hooked the garters to the ribbon loops at the bottom edge off the corset and attached them to the sheer black stockings she was already wearing.
    With her foundation garments all on, she slipped into the brilliant sapphire-colored dress. She was happy and pleased to see the corset gave her silhouette even more definition, pushing up her breasts and enhancing her cleavage. After zipping up the back, she put on the
