I giggle. Actuallygiggle.
“Oh. Well, I’ll allow it.”
“You’ll allow me to kill for you?”
“Sure.”
He grins. “A woman after my heart. The team will be here around three.”
Alessandro says we’re leaving at seven. The team arrives right on time at three, and they’re all absolutely lovely. I’m shown several gowns, all in my size, and I have a hard time choosing one. By the time they’re gone, I feel like an actual princess. Now, all that’s left is to show Alessandro.
I twist, looking at myself in the mirror. The dress I picked is a floor-length black gown covered in rhinestones that catches the light when I move. Unlike my wedding dress, this one shows off my assets without enhancing my flaws. The neckline is a sweetheart cut, giving off a nice glimpse of my chest, and the sleeves cover the unflattering parts of my arms that I’m self-conscious about. Around my waist, the skirt flairs as to not call attention to my curvy stomach and wide hips. My shoes are a two-inch kitten heel. I’ve never worn a kitten heel before, but I really like it. I feel sensual without the fear of falling on my butt.
My blonde hair is curled and pinned in a way that I could never pull off on my own. My make-up is fitting for an event at night, making my eyes pop. And I’m wearing a red lip for the first time in my life. Red might be my new favorite shade of lipstick. I was definitely taking notes, and the team said they would leave behind the products they used so I can try to recreate the look myself. I’m carrying a black clutch with my phone, lipstick, and compact so I can freshen up my powder if needed.
I’m still nervous about meeting the members of the Brotherhood, but knowing I look good eases my worries. I spritz perfume on my chest and behind my ear. There. I’m ready.
Leaving our room, I make my way to the living room, where Alessandro waits. He got ready in one of the guest rooms, so I don’t know what he’s wearing. He’s standing near the window, looking out, his hand resting on the new pink chair that was just delivered today. He's dressed in all black, which isn’t surprising. His long hair is pulled back in a manbun tied off with a black silk ribbon. Oh, I’m going to love pulling it untied at the end of the night because there’s no way I’m keeping my hands off him. Not with how sexy he looks.
“I’m ready.”
He turns, a smile on his face. But then he takes in my appearance and stills.
I run my hand over my hips. “Too much?”
“Fuck. I’m giving each person who helped you get ready a tip.”
“They deserve it. I feel like a princess.”
He pulls me close. “They only enhanced what was already there.”
“You’re looking pretty handsome yourself.”
“Oh?”
I nod, holding onto his jacket lapels. “Mmmhmm. You clean up nice, Mr. Moretti.”
“As do you, Mrs. Moretti.”
I’m smiling when he kisses me.
“Ready to do this?”
“As ready as I’ll ever be.”
He says, “Atta girl. I’ll make it up to you later.”
“Oh, I’ve already got some ideas.”
“Care to share?”
“It involves that ribbon in your hair.”
He wiggles his eyebrows. “Do I get to tie you up with it?”
My lips part as I envision what he’s suggesting.
“I’ve shocked you.”
