“When...Whendid all of this happen?”
“While you were asleep. You were out like a light, he wondered if someone slipped something in your drink when he wasn’t looking.” She giggled.
Dorothy picked a short, purple dress and held it out to me. “He wanted you to wear this for breakfast.”
I took one look at the dress and I was stricken with awe. It was the softest material I’d ever felt, it slid so easily over my hands. It was tied in the front into a beautiful, rosy knot, and the back was bare, held together by silver chains, with glitter towards the bottom of the dress.
“Wow.”
“Chen Yu is the best at what he does. He specifically made this for you as a welcome gift.”
I guessed Chen Yu was the designer. He had my utmost respect. The dress was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. “It’s gorgeous.”
“Let’s hope Mr. Preston thinks the same.”
Ridiculously enough, I was hoping he would think the same, too. I was hoping he would find the dress as beautiful as I thought it was on me. Oh well, only one way to find out.
“Let’s go.”
“What, are you kidding?”
She reached in the cupboard for a bottle of perfume and sprayed some all over my body, even places that I thought had no business smelling like perfume. Then she strapped a silver wristwatch on my wrist, a thin necklace on my neck. The makeup was minimal, but enough to make my face glow brighter than it had done in weeks. Funny how a night of good sleep in a luxe environment made all those dark circles disappear.
“Now, we’re ready,” she announced with a final spray of a different perfume on my hair.
“Okay.”
Anxiety was killing me as we walked to the dining room in my small heels. Since when had I begun to care what he thought of me?
Angelo heard us coming. “My apologies. I was famished, and you ladies were taking too long, so I had to…”
He paused when he saw me and slowly lowered his cutlery to the plate. I was not the only one making a statement. He looked charming in a tight white shirt that showed off his toned muscles and a pair of plain black trousers that fitted him perfectly. Even his hair had been styled a little differently. I had not expected him to look this handsome. The feeling was so intense that it took my breath away. I suddenly realized again how good-looking he was and how I never wanted him to look at another woman the way he was looking at me now.
You’d think I was a Belladonna or something.
Dorothy made a quick bow and left, a grin on her face. It was clear that she was getting a raise.
Angelo’s face eased into a smile, and before I knew it, I was smiling back. Damn it. I tried to make myself frown, but it was no use. Maybe the perfume Dorothy had used on me was a love potion, and it was slowly starting to kick in.
“You look amazing,” he finally said. He leaned back in his chair as though to get a clearer view. “Chen said the dress would be absolutely stunning on you, and he wasn’t wrong.”
“Thank you.” I tried to hide the enthusiasm in my voice.
“Such a shy, pretty girl in a bold, pretty dress. I like that. I like that a lot.” He took a sip of coffee and then got to his feet and walked over to me.
He held my dress between his fingers and caressed the fabric. Then he dropped it, and his hands rested on my skin. My breath seized in anticipation. Was this what I had become now?
Leaning into my ear, he whispered, “And you smell good, too. Are you wearing underwear?”
The question made me flush, and my cheeks grew very hot. How did he expect me to answer such a question? Why was he asking? Was he planning to fuck me over the breakfast table?
“I-I don’t know,” I stuttered.
“You don’t know? Well then, let me help you check.”
Our eyes met that very instant, and there was a sardonic glint in his. His hands took their time in crawling up my thighs. By the time they got to my pussy, I was breathless.
“So, the answer is no. You could have just said that, but you let me find out. You act like you don’t want this, but I know that’s not true. You want this, perhaps even more than I do. You wantme.”
