When my mother–in–law earlier told me she had something spicy for me, I tried to convince myself that it wasn’t what I was thinking, but I

was wrong.

I’m in one of the bedrooms with her, and wearing a sexy nightgown in a deep shade of red. I can’t stop looking down at myself as I stand

before her.

“Mom, this is too short and revealing.”

I raise my eyebrows. “The way he looks at me?”

“Of course. You think I don’t see it?”
