I then turned to face him and he followed. I never tired of looking into those beautiful blue eyes. And I didn’t think I ever would.
“I’m happy to have a completed set,” I said.
“Not quite completed,” he said. I raised a brow. I hadn’t seen anyone else wearing any other jewelry, nor can I think of something else to add.
“Can I give it to you now?” Ellery asked.
I nodded sitting up. He went to his bag and pulled out another one of those boxes. It wasn’t as large as the necklace, but it was bigger than the earring box.
I clicked it open and my face heated at what I saw. There, in the box were two bars with gold and diamond moons on either side. The moons were slightly rounded so they wouldn’t poke me at all.
“Are these…” I couldn’t finish.
He nodded. “New piercings. So the collection can really be complete.”
A small laugh burst from my mouth. “You’re ridiculous.”
“I never said otherwise. But I want to claim you in every way possible.”
His heated gaze made my laughter seize. “Do you want to put them in?” I asked.
His Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed. “Can I?”
I nodded. He shifted towards me to take the box. I unscrewed one of the sides of the piercing I already had in and slid them out.
He twisted one side of the new ones off and held the bar close to me. “Let me know if it hurts,” he said.
“I will.” He put one side through, easily gliding to the other. I sucked in a deep breath. I’d changed these piercings many times, but something abouthimdoing it made desire rush through me.The cool metal gave me a shiver as he deftly screwed in one of the sides.
He gave the other side the same treatment until both were secure. Ellery leaned back to look at his handy work.
“What do you think?” I asked.
He didn’t say anything for another few moments.
“I’ve never seen you speechless,” I commented, trying to fill the space. “Or so still.”
“Me either,” he agreed. “It’s just… so perfect.”
He stood quickly. “Come.”
I followed him, taking his hand as he led us to the floor length mirror. He stood me in front of it, forcing me to look at myself.
“What are we doing?” I asked.
“I just want you to see the perfection I get to every day.”
“You’re ridiculous,” I said. Though happiness washed through me.
“And I got to decorate this perfection.” He leaned into my hair.
“From your ears,” he said as he nipped the top of one.
“To your neck.” His hand came down around to create a hand necklace of his own for just a moment, before caressing the chain that sat close to my heart.
“To these beautiful tits.” Fingers turned the new bars, making them glisten in the light.
Then his hands moved down, towards my left arm. “To your wrist, and your fingers.”
