“Yes, I want him to suffer, Rye. Make sure these pictures will, you know…” I can’t even say it. It’s strange… When I’m talking to T, I feel like I can say anything. But with my own sister, I can’t finish the sentence.
“You want him to have blue balls. Got it...” Reilly directs me, and I pose while she snaps away. “Okay, these should do the trick.” Handing me the phone back, she says, “Give him hell, sis. I’ll be outside.”
“Wait, I’m not sending them now. I’ll send them later. He’s probably asleep anyway.”
“The twenty or so unread messages from a contact namedYourswould suggest otherwise.” She smirks as she walks out of the changing room. I sit down on the bench and open the messages. I scroll past the first few and head to the last four.
Yours: Neo tells me you’re not using your credit cards. Use them. I don’t want you spending your own money, Holly.
Yours: The money in OUR accounts is yours too. Use it.
Yours: I really fucking hate that you’re ignoring me, dolcezza.
Yours: Holly, I love you. I’m sorry if I said something to upset you, but you need to fucking talk to me. Please.
Okay, now I’m starting to feel bad. I shouldn’t be ignoring him. Neo was right this morning. If anything were to happen to Theo in Italy, I’d never forgive myself, especially if we weren’t on speaking terms. I start to text him back but decide to call instead. He must be sitting on the phone, because it barely rings once before he answers. “Holly, are you okay?” The concern in his voice is clear.
“Apart from being the biggest bitch on the planet, I’m okay. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have ignored you. It was childish and stupid.” I swipe at the tear running down my cheek.
T sighs into the receiver. “Dolcezza, you are not even close to being a bitch. You are the sweetest, most considerate, caring person I’ve ever met. I was an ass and selfish. And I’m sorry.”
“I love you, Theo, and I hate that you’re not here. I’m literally sitting in a dressing room at Honey Birdette, crying, because all I want to do is lie in bed.With you.”
“What’s Honey Birdette? And where are Neo and Sonnie?”
“They’re both waiting at the store entrance,” I say.
“Why the fuck aren’t they with you? They’re supposed to be no more than two feet away, Holly. Let me call Neo.” He curses.
“Ah, T, wait… I told them to stay at the entrance. I mean, if you really want your cousin helping me try on underwear, then by all means, send him in.”
“What? You’re trying on underwear?” he repeats.
“It’s a lingerie store.”
“Hold on a sec.” The line cuts out. I’m about to call him back when a video request pops up on the screen.
I press accept, and those dark eyes greet me along with that panty-melting smile. “Your face is dangerously pretty,” I blurt out.
Theo chuckles. “Not sure I’ve ever been calledprettybefore, dolcezza.”
I lift a shoulder in response while wiping the remnants of tears off my face. My eyes are red and puffy. I look like shit.
“Please don’t cry. I can’t stand it when you cry, especially when I’m not there to hold you.”
“I’m sorry. I’m okay. I just really, really miss you.”
“I know.” There’s silence for a minute as we just stare at each other. Then a familiar glint flashes over T’s eyes. “Holly, hold the phone out. What are you wearing?” he says.
I turn the camera, so it faces the mirror in front of me, and stand to give T a full-body view. I’m wearing a matching black leather and lace set. It’s like something out of a bondage magazine, with straps that wrap around my breasts and twist up my neck, while the panties have three thick black bands and gold buckles at the sides.
“Fuck, holy shit. Yes, you’re buying that.” He breathes in.
“Maybe.” I shrug.
“Holly, sit back down on the bench.”
