He turns at the sound of my voice, smiling.
When he smiles like that, I can’t stop melting a little.
The nightmarish version of him is long gone from my brain.
“That dress looks really nice on you,” he declares with a soft smile curling up the corners of his lips. “But there is something missing.”
I frown. “What do you mean?”
I can’t stop from resting my hands on my hips in irritation.
How dare he say that?
I spent ages getting dressed with very limited supplies. He kidnapped me with basically nothing. What did he expect?
“Oh, I know what it is.”
He steps closer to me, and I’m honestly about to throw hands.
Talk about punishingme,I think he’s the one who needs to be punished right now…
At least that’s how I feel until he pulls a small box out of his pocket. A long thin one which I’m pretty sure is from averyupscale jewelry store.
“I think you need this chain around your wrist.”
He clicks open the box and shows off a delicate little silver chain, which makes my heart race. The chain has little stars along it, which is really sweet.
“Wow,” I whisper. “I love it.”
No one has ever bought me something so nice before.
I can’t take my eyes off of Owen while he clasps it around me. There’s something there in his eyes, something flickering, and to me, it might look like feelings.
Either that or I justwantfeelings to be there.
“This is really nice… thank you, Owen.”
“There. Much better.”
Then he grabs my hand and laces his fingers through mine.
This feelswaytoo much like a date. I can’t handle it.
“Oh my God, this looks lovely.”
Owen reallyhasgone all out, and I can’t help wondering what’s happening here.
Isthis a date?
Of course I’m not going to ask him because we’re on a tight rope right now and I don’t want to tip either of us over the edge. I’m enjoying this way too much.
He pulls out a chair and asks me to sit down, which I do. Does he know what effect he’s having on me right now? This gentlemanly behavior is crazy.
I’ve never been treated like a princess before!
Especially by someone who also knows just how rough I want him to be with my body when we’re getting down and dirty.
A shudder tears down my spine.
