“Get that beautiful ass of yours in the dress so I can flaunt and spoil you tonight,” he orders, his voice deep.

That went straight to my pussy, which throbbed in response.

“Xander—” I begin again, but he pulls my bottom lip down with his thumb.

“For me?” he asks, his eyes fixed on my lips.

“Okay,” I whisper.

“Good girl,” he praises, stroking his thumb over my bottom lip again, hard, before quickly stepping back. “Half an hour enough for you? We have to drive over to Brooklyn.”

My eyes go wide. “Oh, okay, sure. Half an hour works.”

He nods and closes the door behind him when he leaves. I look back at the dress and see two boxes sitting on the bed beside it. I open one to reveal a pair of black high heels. I have neverworn anything with a heel, but they fit perfectly when my feet slide in. Thankfully, they aren’t too high, and walking in them is manageable.

In the other box is the beautiful lingerie set Xander bought me.

The man is crazy.

I take a super quick shower before getting into the underwear, looking at myself in the mirror, and feeling sexy for the very first time in my life. But when I slip on the dress, the bra shows and there’s a very noticeable panty line. I do my hair and makeup, thinking about what I should do, but ultimately decide,screw it.

I take the lingerie off, leaving me in the dress and shoes, nothing else.

There is a knock on the door before it opens a slit. “You ready?” Xander asks.

“Coming,” I holler, looking at my reflection in the mirror one last time, not believing I can look like this.

I open the door fully, and Xander stands in the doorway, a forearm leaning on the top of the doorframe, looking down at me. His eyes roam me from head to toe. He stands straight, reaching out for a strand of my hair, twirling it between his fingers.

“There are no words to describe how beautiful you are,” he whispers softly, and I huff, but he reaches out and pulls me into a hug, kissing the top of my head. “Let’s go. I can’t wait to have you all to myself.”

His words send a shiver down my back as he takes my hand, leading me down the stairs. I grab my backpack off the floor next to the entry and slip my wallet out of it when I notice I have nowhere to put it or my phone. I can’t bring the backpack.

“Leave it here, you don’t need them. I am going to take you to dinner after the exhibition, and next time we do this, I’ll makesure to get you a purse that matches the shoes.” Xander smirks at me, looking down at my feet.

I roll my eyes. “There will not be a next time if you don’t stop buying me stuff.”

“Oh, there will. I need to see you in that dress at least ten more times,” he mutters when I put my wallet back.

“I am going to put my phone in the living room real quick,” I declare, walking over there to find Clay and Joshua sitting around, talking.

“Holy shit,” Clay breathes out, standing from the couch as he sees Xander and me coming in.

“I bet you regret telling him you don’t want to go to any more exhibitions now.” Joshua chuckles and greets me with a peck on the lips.

“Could you please watch my phone while we’re gone? Chiara is with Leo tonight. Maybe she’ll text or call,” I ask him.

“Don’t worry, I got you. You go and just enjoy.” Joshua smiles, showing his dimples.

“Babe, give me your phone. I left mine next door, but I need a picture of you guys. That’s so going to be my new background.” Clay grins, making me shoot him a look. “Don’t scrunch up that pretty face, kitten. Stand next to Xander, please.” I do as he says, and Xander puts an arm around me. Then he pulls me into his side and leans down to kiss my temple, making me smile. “Oh my God, this is perfect. You guys are adorable,” Clay admires, taking what seems like a hundred pictures.

“Okay, that’s enough,” I cut him off, stepping away from Xander.

Joshua takes my hand, tugging me to the side. “I need one for my phone too.” He smiles, “You look absolutely stunning. I am so proud to call you mine.” My heart melts, and he takes out his phone to snap some pictures of just me before he leans in toget a couple of selfies with me, kissing my cheek. “Have fun, my Carolina. I love you,” he whispers in my ear.

I kiss him, whispering back, “I love you too.”

“Come on.” Xander stretches his hand out for me. “Let’s go.”
