“Fine, but no peeking.”
“I wouldn’t dream of it,” he teased with that bad boy grin of his firmly in place and not likely to go anytime soon. So, I decided to be quick, tossing the sheet aside and running into the closet.
“Holy shit!” I shouted, making him ask from the bedroom,
“Is there a problem?”
“It’s filled with clothes!” I exclaimed, making him laugh.
“That is usually the point of a closet… or so I have heard,” he teased dryly.
“Yes, thank you, Captain Obvious, but they are all woman’s clothes,” I told him, raising my voice over my shoulder.
“And?” he asked like this meant nothing but obvious facts.
“And unless what you have to tell me about yourself is that you’re a growly, cross dressing wizard with glowing eyes, then I would say this is a bit odd.” I heard the burst of laughter coming from behind me, making me spin quickly. Then the second I saw him standing there, leaning against the doorframe casually, I reached for the first thing I could grab off the rack, holding it to myself.
“It’s pretty, Dove, but a bit much for breakfast, don’t you think?” he said smirking, making me look down at myself to see I was holding a red sequin cocktail dress in front of me.
“Actually, I always dress like this for breakfast… now as for dinner, well I’m normally a sweats and tank top, kinda girl,” I retorted, making him grin.
“As long as you’re a naked in my bed kinda girl, I couldn’t give a shit what you wear, as long as I get to strip it off you.” Once again, I couldn’t keep the sappy grin off my face.
“Well, I just usually wear my clothes held up to me like this… unless of course I have been doing it wrong all these years,” I teased back, making him unable to hold back the laughter again. But then he stalked closer to me until all that stood between us was a length of red sequins. Then he took hold of the hanger and told me,
“Not if all it takes to get your naked is this…” Then he threw the dress aside and yanked me hard up against him, kissing me once again. But then before he let it get to a place where we were fucking like teenagers on the floor of his closet as if hiding from our parents’ downstairs (something my college roommate told me she did once), he told me,
“These clothes were bought for you, so you will find everything in your size and hopefully to your taste. So, get dressed, my funny little bird.” Then he finished this with a slap to my ass, before turning around and walking out the door, leaving me looking at all the clothes with my mouth hanging open in utter shock.
He was crazy.
Well, at least I managed to walk out of there wearing a gold silk robe with an armful of clothes so I could get ready in the bathroom. Where, unsurprisingly, I found everything I needed, including what I wanted the most.
A new toothbrush.
After brushing my teeth, I blushed again at the thought of the underwear selection in the closet as I dressed. I went with something a little less ‘sex kitten’ when I grabbed a white lace set. Something I promptly covered with a pair of skinny indigo jeans that fit me perfectly and, I swear,m were the softest denim I had ever worn. To this I added a white crop top that showed part of my, belly and a tan-colored belt that had gold buckle of two interlocking circles. Then I grabbed a suede, lightweight waterfall jacket that was army green and hung open at the sides. As for my hair, I did what I usually did and plaited it to one side after brushing all the knots out from letting it dry naturally in bed.
“So, my things?” I asked from the bathroom, sitting on the toilet seat as I zipped up a pair of tan-suede ankle-boots. And I asked this because I was curious as to what he would say.
“Well, they aren’t at that shitty motel you will never spend another minute at, that’s for damn certain,” he replied firmly, making me look at the closet when walking past, not seeing them there but ignoring this fact and instead commenting,
“So, this kidnapping of yours I see took a lot of planning.” Then I walked closer, joining him by the sitting area where he looked to be drinking a cup of coffee.
“You look beautiful,” he said the moment his eyes rose from the paper and scanned the length of me, making me blush as his gaze heated at the sight of me.
“Erm… thank you but the clothes, it’s too much and I can’t accept…” I stopped mid-flow as he placed down his paper and walked over to me.
“You can and you will,” he said firmly.
“But…” I tried to argue but he quickly interrupted me.
“That night, you helped me despite what the consequences may be, and consequences were exactly what you found… Because of me.”
“Ryker, I…” At this he placed two fingers against my lips and stopped me.
“Your whole life was uprooted after you were attacked, and I wasn’t there to stop it. I wasn’t there to protect you, despite knowing deep down that I should have been,” he told me, and I couldn’t help but near melt because of it.
“But you weren’t to know,” I reasoned after wrapping my palm around his wrist and pulling his hand down from my face.
