Diner waitress Katie
wants a new life and a hot sex life. When she's struck by lightning
and tossed into the life of the ultra rich, she discovers you can get
what you wish for. And much more.
"You
got any more fairy godfathers flying around who might want to play at
the party?"
"We
only appear when we are requested," he explained.
"But
I didn't ask for a fairy godfather."
"No,
darling, you asked for a new life and that is what you received." He
used a fountain pen to jot down notes. I leaned over the table to see
that the man's penmanship was this fancy print that was both ma sculine
and elegant. Was there nothing he did wrong? I bet he never spilled
food on himself or even farted. For all I knew, fairy godfathers didn't
have sex.
"What
exactly do you do inbetween wishes? Do you sit around waiting for the
next person to wish for something? Although I'd think that would be
happening, oh, every five seconds. Or do you all have some sort of lounge
where you hang out until your number is called and it's your turn to
grant a wish? Do you go to Hawaii for the surfing?" I figured something
that wild might not be too far off even if Christopher didn't look like
the type to pull on a pair of trunks and take a surfboard out in the
water.
"We
are kept very busy," he replied cryptically.
"So
you do work all over the world?" I pressed, curious to know more about
him.
"That
is part of it," he said mysteriously.
Could
a person's eyes pop out? Mine sure felt like they did. "All over the
universe?" I squeaked. "Aliens and stuff?"
Christopher
waved his hand in a lazy arc. I expected to see a visible magic in the
air and was disappointed when nothing happened. .
"You
must always keep an open mind, darling. There's a very large universe
out there. Many things you haven't seen or even imagined."
My
gaze drifted toward Josh. For all I knew drool dripped off my chin.
But he looked so damn good in a faded pair of jeans shorts and an equally
faded red tank top that showed off a body sculpted by hard work, not
exercise equipment. A bronze sheen of sweat could be seen on his face
and shoulders. Thoughts of pulling him into the shower and washing him
off filled my head. Okay, it wasn't just washing him off that I thought
about, but we'd eventually get to that.
Any
time I looked outside I saw him working somewhere on the grounds like
some sexy Energizer Bunny. I don't know how he did it when I'd wake
up some mornings feeling as if I'd been pulled backwards through the
eye of a needle. The idea of just sleeping a few more hours was always
there.
Why
couldn't I have met someone like him before? Maybe I wouldn't have ended
up with the boyfriend from hell that didn't do anything but drain my
bank account and cheat on me. I'd always hoped to have someone in my
life who would work with me, but it never seemed to happen.
