I’ve chosen to wear my most stunning dress. It’s a deep shade of crimson that hugs my silhouette in all the right places. The color reminds me of Adonis, and I sigh with a smile on my face. The hemline is daringly short, featuring a seductive slit that gracefully reveals my upper thigh as I move. The bodice has a low-cut neckline that emphasizes my cleavage, while the long, fitted sleeves conceal the large skin-colored rune symbol on my arm.
The dress is tight enough that I don’t need a bra, and I can’t wear panties because I don’t want lines showing. I’m sure Dax and Killian would be disappointed that I’m not wearing their gold or black underneath this red dress.
Adonis loves the color red.
I smile and sigh.
I match my full lips with my dress in a deep red shade and coat my thick eyelashes with mascara, enhancing the green in my eyes.
“We look hot as fuck!” Jules says as she blows smoke in my face. Her phone pings, “Carter is on his way!”
I take one final look at myself in the mirror and smile. What a shame my guys won’t see me tonight.
Carter pulls in, and Jules and I head out my front door. I lock up and yell, “Shotgun!” as Jules breezes by.
“Ugh! You bitch!” She yells from over her shoulder as she gets in Carter’s backseat.
I slide into the front, “Hey, Carter! Thanks for driving!” I lean in and give him a friendly kiss on the cheek.
“It’s no problem,” He looks me up and down quickly and blushes. “You, ugh, you look beautiful. You both do,” he quickly adds.
“I just want to let loose tonight! Maybe find a hot girl to take home,” Jules chirps as she leans forward, turning up the radio.
I feel guilty that I haven’t told them about Adonis, Killian, and Dax. What would they think of me, dating three men?
“Hey guys!” I yell over the music as I dance to the beat. “I, um… I’m kind of seeing someone!”
I notice Carter’s look of sheer disappointment right away. His knuckles turn white as he grips the steering wheel tightly.
Jules leans forward, gasping, “You little hussy! Tell me all about him!” She looks at Carter and smacks his chest, “Wipe that frown off your face, Carter! You got a good thing going with Destiny!”
“What frown?” Carter smiles, “I’m happy for you, Dani! And yeah, I really do like Destiny. I’m over Dani,” he playfully says, “She’s old news.” I scrunch my nose at him and we all laugh.
“Is he hot? I’m sure he is! How’s his dick?” Jules asks, making her voice louder than the music.
“Jules!” I flick her nose as she leans on her elbows on the center council. “A lady doesn’t kiss and tell.”
“Oh, horse shit! I don’t see any ladies in this god-damn car!” Jules barks. I turn the music up louder and mouth ‘I can’t hear you,’ just to avoid the questions. Jules rolls her eyes.
Carter parks, and we walk inside the club. It’s jam-packed tonight and very smoky. This is one of the few places you can smoke inside in this town.
Jules and I grab a table, and Carter heads to the bar to grab our drinks.
“Okay, spill!” Jules says as she grabs my knee.
I smile, “Alright… well… he is very handsome. Very talented with his mouth and fingers,” Jules squeals. “And they—”
Carter sets our drinks down. “They?!” Jules quips, and I wave my hand in front of her, taking a big gulp of my vodka-cranberry. “You know what I mean,” I blow her off.
Carter sits next to Jules, across from me, “So, when do we get to meet this mystery man of yours?” he asks.
Just as I am sipping my drink, a man comes up from behind me and I immediately sense who he is, “Now,” his smooth voice says, sending a shiver down my body.
I practically spit out my drink as Dax takes a seat next to me, wrapping his arm around my shoulder. He takes my chin and presses a soft yet claiming kiss to my lips.
I quietly say to him, “What are you doing here?”
Carter’s eyes stay wide as another man sits to my other side, grabbing my chin from Dax and kissing me the same way.
