I briefly watched the two women ooh and ahh over pockets of all things, then sighed. I walked up behind Katie, kissing her head as I gave in.
“Give me the damn monkey suit. That dress and Katie deserve the best. But can we do something more Johnny Cash and less James Bond?”
They all chuckled. Glenn unzipped the other garment bag, and I could’ve smacked their smug faces. A solid black suit hung in the bag, very reminiscent of something the Man in Black would’ve worn.
“Y’all fucking suck ass.”
Katie slipped her arms around my waist. “Your mama said it’s how you’d react but that if I presented the compromise option first, you’d reject it because you hate getting dressed up.”
“And fuck you all for ganging up on me. Can’t a man be comfortable?”
“Umm, you will have on your boots and pants. I will be trussed up, primped, prodded, and poked, and most likely not be able to breathe the entire night. So, quit your bellyaching. Oh, and your mama told me to tell you that last part, too,” Katie said as she kissed the underside of my jaw.
I leaned down, kissed her breathless, and walked away, smirking at her before I did so. “I’ll be playing COD with Hayden. Let me know when we have an hour before leaving.”
Katie scowled at me. I had a mother and a sister, plus a shit ton of other female relatives. I knew what that look was for. She’d be in hair and makeup mode for the next several hours.
A couple of hours later, I choked on my tongue. My suspicions about Katie and that dress were so far off the mark I didn’t believe there was a word that would do her justice. She looked like a supermodel if supermodels ate regular meals and had curves.
When she stepped out of the bedroom her team had commandeered for the day, the sounds in the room stopped. Had a record been playing, you’d have heard the needle scratch and jump across the vinyl.
She wasn’t just showstopping; she was earth-shattering, orbit-haltingly beautiful.
And she took my breath away.
Rooted to the floor, I stared at her until she demanded, “Jesus, Jackson, say something.”
I wetted my lips. Yes, I was a mouthbreathing neanderthal at the moment, but as I took in the room, I noticed I wasn’t the only one.
“It’s too much, isn’t it? I am not built to wear something like this,” she said as she turned to go back into the bedroom.
“Stop!” I called out.
Katie turned back to me. Her arms crossed over her chest as she fidgeted to stay in place. I walked toward her, kissing her head to avoid messing up her makeup. Olivia and Mama had taught me right.
I stepped behind her, leaning down to whisper, “Look at them, darlin’. Every last one of them is as starstruck and dumbfounded as I am. You are radiant. Breathtakingly so. And as for not beingbuilt for something like this, I think this dress was made for your body. It highlights every curve I’m a slave to.”
I glanced up at the others and shooed them away.
She looked up at me over her shoulder, her face pink with embarrassment. “You’re a slave to my curves, huh?”
I pulled her luscious body against me as I tucked my face under her chin, pressing a kiss to that sensitive spot just under her ear. I growled at the taste and smell of her. My cock throbbed to life, making my trousers tight. There wasn’t enough room in them as it was, and now my dick had the fabric stretching even further.
“A very willing slave. Hopefully, when we return from this shindig, I’ll be able to worship at your altar again.”
“Jackson!” Her blush bloomed hotter as she smacked my arm.
I laughed at her. “You are a goddess, my love.”
Flustered, she dropped her chin and stared at one of the buttons on my tuxedo shirt while she fiddled with it. “I wouldn’t mind you worshipping at my altar again, but I spoke to Liam.”
My eyebrow hitched. I didn’t think she could bring herself to do it. “And what did my uncle have to say?”
Her gaze flew to mine. “Do not call him your uncle when I’ve been talking to him about…”
I tried to control my face, I really did, but it just wasn’t possible. “Getting fucked by his nephew?”
“OHMAGAWD! Stop it!” Katie yelled.
