Leaning against the lockers, she passed that off with a shrug. “I mean, I bought everything, but yeah. You like anything?”

I liked it all.

Why is he doing this?

Because he was a control freak, but for some reason, I didn’t mind it. One of the things that had initially stood out about him was his power, his control.

He exuded it.

When the dark prince wanted something, he took it, and part of me hated to admit that turned me on. I hooked the dress. “You pick.”

It was all gorgeous, and I couldn’t.

With free rein, Bow dove right in. She immediately picked a black number with poofy stuff beneath and a plunging neckline. I looked like I was going to prom, but not in a bad way. Honestly, I probably would have picked something similar for myself.

The heels were to die for.

She picked a stiletto that buckled at my ankles. This basically made me look more like a giraffe than I already did, but I didn’t care. They were super cute, and I sat down while Bow applied the final touches. She’d already put my makeup on, but had waited for the lipstick since we hadn’t picked the dress yet.

She decided on a red, and I let her apply it. My phone buzzed while she did.

Ares: Don’t hate D too much for doing this shit. I tried to talk him out of it.

So he had heard about tonight’s… whatever the fuck this was. I smirked.

Me: As you like to say, the jury is still out. I’m currently getting dolled the fuck up by Bow.

I snapped a picture to show him, flipping off the camera when I did. This had Bow eyeing me, but as sweet as she was, she didn’t ask.

Ares: LOL. Right back at you, and good for you. You managed not to look completely hopeless.

I swear to God I didn’t let people get away with talking to me like that, but time and time again, he did. Maybe it was because I was around him enough to know that was just his personality, as weirdly fucked as it was.

Me: Nice, you asshole. Anyway, don’t fuck up your art thing. The guys told me about it.

If he could dish it, he better take it.

Ares: I’m not going to fuck it up. Hard not to. Our shit is awesome.

It was awesome.

Ares: Anyway, good luck tonight. Hope it’s nice and don’t hurt my boy. I feel like since he’s met you, there’s no coming back for him.

I started to text something back but stopped when I noticed Bow just staring at me. She lowered her tube of lipstick, a small smile on her lips. I faced the mirror, and my lips parted.

I’d never seen myself so dressed up, and dare I say, I pulled this shit off. I looked pretty, real pretty. Bow had my hair bumped underneath with a curling iron she had, my eyelids a smoky black and lips a matte red. I’d say I appeared very femme fatale, which I fucking loved.

“Wow,” Bow stated, her head tilted. “Gorgeous, Sloane, and something about it is just…” She shook her head. “So familiar. You remind me of someone.”

“Who?” I pushed some hair behind my ear.

She hugged her arms. “I don’t know. This is all just familiar.”

Well, whoever the person was must have been a knockout, and I told her as such, making her laugh. She rushed me out of the locker room after that, telling me to go out the doors and follow the hallway down to the far exits. She said I’d know what to do from there.

I did.

I just kind of stood there for a moment actually. I supposed I didn’t really know what to do first.
