I stomped over to my dresser and grabbed my phone, dialing him. He wasn’t about to get an eyeful, but an earful…I fumed as I waited for him to pick up.

“Hey, kitten, I’m five minutes out. Everything okay?”

“This dress is indecent. Like, full-on side boob. I can’t wear this,” I exclaimed.

I lifted my arm and could immediately tell if I moved in any significant way, my boobs were going to fall out completely. A deep, rich chuckle reached my ears. All it did was infuriate me. I took a deep breath, and once he quieted down, I spoke.

“I’m not getting arrested for indecent exposure. And if you even mention your connections with the police chief, I’ll scream.”

“I think you’re overexaggerating. It can’t be that bad. I’ll bet you look fantastic.”

“I’m serious. I’m staring at my left boob, and it’s gonna fall out.”

This only made him laugh harder.

“God, you’re killing me. I’ll be there in a few. Don’t you dare take it off,” he growled before the line went dead.

Titty Tape

Iknocked on her door, looking at my watch. I’d stopped by the drugstore and picked up some tape, making me a few minutes late. I hoped she’d listened and still had the dress on.

When she opened the door, I had to bite the inside of my cheek to keep from laughing. At first glance, I only noticed how pissed she was. Then I took her in completely. My mouth dropped open, and I dragged my eyes down her gorgeous body.

“Fuck,” I groaned. I took a step back, and my hand found the back of my head as I rubbed it, rethinking my choice.

On one hand, she looked stunning, and I couldn’t keep my eyes off her. But fuck if she wasn’t right. One wrong move, and she may expose herself. My decision to stop was impulsive, but I was so glad I had.

Recovering quickly, I walked all the way inside. “You’re wearing that.”

“Perhaps you haven’t noticed, but this here—” She turned to the side and raised her arm elegantly over her head. Running her other hand up and down the bare skin of her ribs, she emphasized the exposure, making me groan. She narrowed her eyes and said, “That’s it, I’m out.”

Lowering her arm, she went to stomp off. I grabbed her hand and pulled her to me. Her hands instantly came to rest on my forearms.

“What are you doing?” Her voice shook as I leaned down to speak directly into her ear.

“Maybe you didn’t hear me. You will wear this dress.” I gently hooked a finger under the shoulder strap. “But I’ve got something for you.” Her body trembled in anticipation as I made a big deal of inhaling her without kissing her neck.Honeysuckle. Exquisite.

I dug into my left pocket and pulled out the tape. As I held it out for her, she looked from my hand to my face. Her own broke into the first genuine smile I’d seen from her. The air left my lungs, my stomach flipped, and my dick roared to life.

“Titty tape. Genius,” she exclaimed, causing me to laugh. Grabbing it from my hand, she rose up on her toes and yanked me down to plant a kiss on my cheek before she took off to her room.

“Let me know if you need any help. I know it can be tricky to get the placement just right,” I called after her as she disappeared.

“You’re pushing it. Don’t you dare come in here.”

Five minutes later, she came out twirling. I got a generous view of her side and the beautiful curve of her breasts. Needing to make sure it wouldn’t move, I stalked over to her, stopping her mid-twirl. She squealed at the contact.

“I need to make sure this is secure enough,” I breathed. Looking her directly in the eyes, I trailed my hand down her side. I pulled on the material, ensuring it wasn’t going to move. She’d done an excellent job of it.

My eyes moved down her body, watching her respond to my fingers on her. I was clocking her nuances. Her initial response was a small gasp escaping her throat.

Then, almost in sync, her nipples hardened, her thighs clenched together, her head fell back, and her eyes drifted shut. Stumbling as she realized what she was doing, her face flushed red, and she pulled my hands from her side.

“Hands to yourself.” Her husky voice hung heavily in the air.
