Temptation by Victoria Christopher Murray 
Brian had told Alexis to dress casual and she wondered if he realized how much stress his words generated. She had spent more time and felt more pressure wanting to make a good impression. After trying on three pairs of jeans, four shirts, and choosing between pumps, loafers or boots she’d finally emerged from her apartment. Surveying her image in the lobby mirror, she was glad she was already downstairs since she felt another outfit modification coming on.
At the sound of the beep of a car horn, she looked away from the mirror and watched Brian cruise his BMW into the circular driveway. She popped on her sunglasses and took a deep breath. When he jumped in front of the doorman to open the door for her, she smiled. A gentleman! He pecked her cheek lightly and Alexis thought she recognized his cologne. "How you doing?" "Great!" She smiled as he accelerated onto the street. "You look terrific." "Thanks," she said with a sideward glance. "You look pretty good yourself." He released a light chuckle that she could only describe as smooth. "Well, knowing I was going out with you, I had to do my best. I’ve never been out with a model before." "I’m not a model." "Don’t try to hide. Jefferson has told me your whole history." Alexis crinkled her nose. "I don’t know if I like that." "Why not? It’s what you women do all the time. Get the 4-1-1 on some man. This time I got the scoop on you." "Well, I don’t know why." "You don’t know why?" Brian laughed. "Maybe it’s because I want to make a good impression." She smiled. She’d been thinking the same thing. "You’ve succeeded. I’m impressed - so far." "Well, I’ll just make sure that I keep on impressing you&ldots;all night long." After a long pause, she asked, "So, where are we going?" "I thought we’d hang out at the beach. I hear there’s a pretty good restaurant down there and we can walk around after that."
