“Tristian,” I giggled, hiding my neck from him.

He was about to reply, but the door to my bedroom abruptly opened. I always locked it, but since he showed up early, I didn’t have the chance to. He jolted off me and immediately fell to the floor in a hard thud.

“Mom!” I jumped onto the ground, playing it off like I was the one who made that noise.

She cocked her head to the side. “Are you alright?”

“Yeah.” I nodded, pulling myself up off the floor. “You just scared me.”

“Darling, I’m sorry. I was just coming up here to remind you that your father and I will be in Savannah this weekend for a conference. Would you like to join us? We could do some shopping. Maybe look for your debutante dress inspiration?”

“Ummm…” I glanced down at the ground, and Tristian pressed his fingers in a V around his mouth, his tongue sticking in between as he shook his head no.

I stifled a laugh at the oral sex gesture. “I actually have plans with Erica, but maybe next weekend?”

“That’d be lovely.” She walked toward me, but I closed the distance between us instead.

“Goodnight, sweetheart.” She kissed my forehead and left.

My hand flew to my chest as I locked the door behind her. Tristian stood up and smiled wide.

“You’re becoming quite the little liar.”

His words reminded me of Chase, who once said the same exact thing to me. As quick as the thought appeared, I shook it away. The last thing I wanted to do was have thoughts of ruin the moment. We still spoke a couple times a week. I couldn’t cut him out of my life. He was too important to me.

With my arms around his neck, I uttered, “No more sneaking into my room before ten.”

He smacked my ass, causing me to yelp before he picked me up, and my legs instinctively wrapped around his back.

“You don’t make the rules, kitten. I do.”

I rolled my eyes, smirking.

“Miss Montgomery, did you hear what I said?”

“What?” I looked at the sales lady. “About the color pattern of your dress? Is there a specific color you’d prefer?”

“Oh! Yeah. I’d love something in white with maybe scarlet underneath. Rich, bright red is my favorite color.”

And Tristian’s was white.

“Are you thinking lace applique bodice and full tulle skirt?”

“That sounds amazing.”

“Alright, let me see what I can find for you. In the meantime, there are a few undergarments I recommend in your fitting room.”

“Thank you.”

“Of course. I’d be honored to design Belle Montgomery’s dress.”

I smiled politely while she continued to gush.

“You have no idea how lucky you are to be born in such a prestigious family.”

“Of course…”

“I mean, you and the Hawkins’ are practically royalty around these parts.”
