I went back to the living room, which was a risk considering they’d just spent twenty minutes kissing me when I got home. My lips still tingled.
Logan looked up when I stood in front of him and took one of my hands. “Back for more?”
“I would if I had time. The boxes on my bed?”
“Aiden.”
“So when he said everything would be taken care of, he really meant it.”
Theo coughed, clearly covering a laugh. “After seeing his lair in the warehouse district, I get the feeling there’s absolutely nothing that man is not prepared for.”
I pressed my lips together to stop my smile before sprinting back to my room. Gifts were my favorite. I didn’t tell people because they usually reacted badly. That was selfish. Self-centered. Why were you always thinking of yourself?
But when someone took the time to get me something, no matter what it was or how small. They’d been thinking of me. I loved that.
I opened the shoe-shaped box first. A beautiful set of dark gold high heels rested inside. Filigree designs wove across leather, baring more skin through the shoe. Sparkling gold strings rested beside them. There were holes in the shoe to attach them and, I assumed, tie them off.
A laugh slipped out of me. Point taken. He was tying me up before we even started the date. Cheeky bastard. I could say I didn’t like it, but that wouldn’t be true.
My phone chimed, and it was Theo.

Here’s a scanned copy of your list in case you decide to share it tonight.
Trinity
Thank you!
Theo
Of course.
They didn’t seem to know how rare that actually was. Doing things without being asked for exact details. It was refreshing.
I sat and opened the biggest box. Nestled in the tissue paper was a dress. “Oh my god.” It was gorgeous. Velvet that was almost iridescent blue and a contrasting rich raspberry. When it moved, the fabric shifted between the colors and practically shimmered. Thin straps and a slit up to the thigh. I’d never worn anything like this before. If I saw it in the store, I would love the fabric, but probably not try it on.
It slid over my skin smoothly. It felt luxurious and a bit decadent. There was no way I could wear a bra with this, but I wasn’t overly endowed in that area, so it would be fine, and the fabric seemed thick enough to hide my nipples if they decided to stand at attention.
Considering who I was going on a date with, that wasn’t impossible.
The dress fitperfectly.
I stared at it in the full-length mirror—which was missing the giant dildo now, because I washed it—and marveled at how well it fit. The fabric bunched and pulled over my body in ways that mimicked ruching, but wasn’t quite. It just looked good.
“Wow.”
There was a matching clutch big enough for a phone and wallet. Perfect.
The last box was small.
Jewelry.
A gold necklace. It was short, but not a choker. So not even close to a collar. I thought he might have gone there, given the shoes, but that would have been too far too fast.
The little charm was a tiny violet with a jewel at the center. He noticed that, too. Was there anything he didn’t?
I picked up the box to move it, and a small jangling sound told me it wasn’t empty yet. “Oh mygod.” It felt like it was the only thing I could say. Two gold hand chains rested in the box. Five dangling crystals spanned the piece that ran over the back of my hand, matching the necklace.
