“Lucky for you, I didn’t make you guess too hard.”
I pull her closer, soaking up her heat. Then, I turn on my side to face her and steal a few kisses.
“Promise me you’ll stay this way?”
“What way?” she asks.
I kiss away the furrowing of her brows before I answer her. “Trustworthy. Although I didn’t date Allie, I did let her in my life like Janet. I’m zero for two right now.”
Heaven smirks as she draws patterns on my skin.
“Correction. You’re one for three.”
“Damn, I hope so. If you betray me, I’ll have to question my instincts like my parents did.”
Heaven grins, but the low light tells me her eyes are serious. Her hand cups my cheek as her thumb caresses my beard. She always makes me feel so comfortable.
“No need to question your instincts, If anyone ever tells you I’ve betrayed you, they’re a liar. You let me in when you didn’t need to. Plus, you’ve helped me in ways I couldn’t help myself. I’m rock solid.”
Her open conviction is endearing and damn arousing. I manipulate us until I’m on top with my dick pressing at her opening.
“Speaking of ‘rock solid…’”
Heaven’s head falls back with her eyes closed as she sucks her bottom lip between her teeth, moaning about how good I feel.
The feel of her, and the sounds she’s emitting, are what brings me back every single time. I’ll never get tired of the way she makes me feel.
Heaven
The last bit of gloss falls into place and the artist hands me a mirror. I’ve created a lot of content about makeup tutorials, the best looks for certain events, and outfit options for major events such as balls but there’s something sexy about your boyfriend hiring a glam squad to be at your disposal. I can get used to this, but my boyfriend isn’t really my boyfriend. Every morning I awaken half expecting it to be one big dream. Once I’m fully awake, the fear that it’s all coming to an end takes over.
Axel can be a free man a few hours from now, and we’re about a week ahead of schedule. I look damn good, despite being unsure of our future. I’m sure we’ll figure it out tomorrow. His directness is one of my favorite things about Axel.
“Y’all did an amazing job! Let me grab a tip.”
“No need,” Ala, the hair girl, says as she packs up her supplies. “Mr. Behr already tipped us. Enjoy your night, Ma’am”
They’re gone is a flurry of totes and conversations. Moving to his closet, I review my appearance in the full-length mirror. Axel had said he liked red on me, albeit, he was referring to a set of lingerie, but I applied that knowledge to my dress. It has an opaque lace bodice, no cleavage due to its high neck that ties as a halter, my back is out though and there’s a slit that goes almost to my hip. I’m event appropriate yet sexy with easy access for Axel.
I slip into the sparkly heels then add the diamond jewelry Axel insisted on buying me. The bracelet glimmers, picking up shards of light with a clarity I’ve never known as I retrieve my vibrating phone.
“Hello?”
“I’m waiting in the car. I don’t want to be late,” Axel responds.
I smile as I apply dabs of perfume. “Is that your way of saying ‘hurry up?’”
“No. That’s my way of saying ‘I’ll fuck you if we meet in the house.’”
The timbre of his voice travels down my spine and tightens my nipples. I’m anxious for the sell to be over so we discuss the future.
“I’m on the way down.”
I find Axel leaning against the car. My feet stop, glued to the pavement as I study him like art. His midnight blue and black tuxedo is tapered perfectly to his big body, and his hair is pulled back into a neat bun which requires products I know he doesn't like. The warmth that I’ve only felt since he's been in my life envelopes me once more. I'm so happy to have met him.
“Stop lookingat me like that. We have someone to meet, Heaven.” Axel closes the gap between us and kisses my forehead. “You look beautiful and sophisticated with a dash of ‘let’s sneak off and fuck.’ I approve.”
His assessment is hilarious, and I can't help but shake my head. “Only you'd compliment me like that, Thor.”
