Daniel was intimately acquainted with women’s lingerie. He knew the difference between a G-string and a thong, appreciated the effect of a push-up bra.

Obviously not a well thought-out plan, he realized.
“What if I want to renegotiate?” he asked.
“Not going to happen.”
He took a step closer, deliberately invading her personal space. “You know I can’t resist a challenge.”
