“I need you, Adrian,” I plead, hoping this means he’s about to pull down his black and blue swim shorts and—
“You’re killing me, angel,” he groans as he pulls his head back to look up at me, desperate, and panting, waiting for him to give me more. “That wasn’t part of the deal.”
“What deal?” I ask incredulously, my brows knitting together as I look down at him with suspicion. “I didn’t make any deal.”
“No, but I did.” He grins as he pulls himself to his feet. “Like I said, this was just the appetizer, and one condition I made with the guys was that I wouldn’t give you your dessert, not until the main course.”
My lips pop open, but no sounds come out. He literally stole the words from the tip of my tongue.
I clamp my mouth closed, hating the amusement that dances in his eyes as he waves his hand and changes my clothes. The bikini top is gone now, and so is the chain, my barely-there clothes now replaced with a flowing dress. I climb down from the counter carefully now that my flip-flops are replaced with red, lace heels, excitement coursing through me. The top of the dress is a tight lace corset, while the skirt flows around my hips, there are two gaping slits starting at the top of my thighs, revealing my smooth, long, legs for my mates to see.
Again. I have no words. I can’t even yell at him because this dress is beautiful.
But as an unmistakable chill sweeps in, I realized he conveniently forgot one thing. “Seriously?” I cock a brow in question and prop a hand on my hip.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Adrian says, feigning innocence as he whistles.
“Sure you don’t,” I say skeptically. “Don’t forget that I have powers of my own now.”
With barely a thought, a pair of red lace panties forms against my skin, and I grin triumphantly back at him. He must be able to guess what I’ve done since a frown immediately pulls at his lips.
Oh, but I’m not done, not even close.
I pull my powers around me readying to dissipate from the changeroom, but just before my body breaks apart, I pull the swim shorts from his body, leaving him completely naked as I vanish from sight.
“Where’s Adrian?” Kyros asks curiously as he raises his arms out to the side, blocking my view of the balcony behind him. We’ve been splitting our time between the manor at the academy and the townhouse in Ethereal, but today we insisted we take a bit of a break from the school and stay in the city.
“Oh, he’s coming.” I smirk, knowing my trick won’t slow him down by much, but I still got a bit of payback. “The better question is, what are you doing?”
I try to look around him, leaning to the side in the hopes of getting a better view, but Maximus and Mateo come up on either side of him, thwarting any hope I had at seeing past Kyros. My god of healing lets his arms fall back to his sides, clearly realizing I won’t be able to see past my two hulking mates. I’m about to ask what they’re doing again, but the words are stolen from my lips the moment I realize that something else is amiss.
“Why are you all wearing tuxes?” Suspicion laces my tone as I scan up and down each of their bodies. They’re all wearing the same style of tux, yet it looks different on each of them. The pants and jacket cling to Kyros perfectly, while they are snug around Mateo’s arms and his thighs, and Maximus looks like he’s about to burst out of his.
“Adrian did this,” Maximus grumbles. “If it was up to me I would’ve got something that actually fit.”
While the suit does look odd, and a bit snug on him, it perfectly displays his toned muscles, making my mouth water at the delicious sight. “I think it’s working for you,” I say noncommittally, not wanting to give them too much praise before I find out what the hell is going on.
“I knew you’d like it,” Adrian says from beside me, wrapping an arm around my shoulders.
I didn’t even hear him dissipate in.
I turn to look at him slowly, vaguely realizing his arm isn’t bare against my skin, rather there’s a soft linen fabric tickling me.
Adrian, too, is dressed in a form-fitting tux, a smug grin curling on his lips. “Your little trick didn’t do anything other than make me change before I dissipated here.”
“Can someone answer me now? What’s up with the formal wear? Are we going someplace?” My irritation rises as they grin at each other, and I hate how much I love their stupid, handsome faces right now.
“We aren’t going anywhere,” Kyros says innocently. The three of them move, at once as though that was their cue, revealing the balcony behind them.
My mouth falls open, whatever I was about to say long forgotten as I take in the scene before me. Red rose petals line the floor, leading in a trail out to the balcony. The glass doors are wide open, as though beckoning me out to the beautiful dinner they have prepared. They must’ve been busy while we were in the mortal realm since there’s a large dining table draped with a red tablecloth that wasn’t there before, with chairs and place settings already arranged. Candles flicker, adding to the ambience as the sun begins to set, casting an orange hue over the white roses set in the center of the table.
“It’s beautiful,” I breathe, reluctantly dragging my eyes away from my surprise and back to my guys. “You did all this for me?”
“Of course,” Kyros says, his brows knitting together as though it shouldn’t even be a question.
I mean, it probably shouldn’t. They’re always surprising me and finding cute little ways to show that they love me.
“I would burn the world down for you, princess,” Maximus says, the deep rumble of his voice flooding my body with warmth.
