Wicked Wednesday #315 — Trademark

Terrence could not help the following morning, but pick up the newspaper that had a paparazzi shot of Eliza. Being engaged to Rafe meant that she was going to be in the public eye because of his family, and his position as an international businessman. There were tons of pictures of him and her in the media, but this one was her alone holding a coffee cup.

“Eliza Morton caught being a pedestrian, holding a coffee cup and with her trademark elegance flashing us with her gorgeous engagement ring from her fiancé.” Terrence read.

“Put that down please?” she said, picking up yet again a cup of coffee across from him. Again with trademark elegance or not, her ring caught in the light and showed itself off. She and Terrence started at her ring—well Eliza thought he was staring at her ring.

“Even when you do not move, you have a trademark elegance. I remember coming to work with you and especially going to Paris with you…”

Eliza felt her cheeks heat because that Paris trip was the beginning of them as they were now, but that was not what Terrence was referring to.

“You looked so elegant, and effortless elegance is a trademark for French women. You did not stand out in the least. I could not keep my eyes off of you, and eventually…” When he paused and looked up at her, there was no mistaking his meaning. “I could not keep my hands off of you.”

He took her hand at that moment, and the heat from her face raced down her body to her fingertips. The simple touch of his hand set her aflame. She looked at him speechless, his breath was heavy and their moment was so clear.
