VALIDATE HOW FAR WE’VE COME
~NEO~
“Why doI feel like this underground passage takes us to some sinister dungeon filled with prisoners?”
The way my lips smirked in response only made my Sweetness side-eye me.
“Don’t tell me you’re actually taking me to a dungeon.”
“Well, it would be a nice detour,” I confessed as my hand continued to hold hers. “I could show you the fuckers we caught trying to figure out which dressing room you were in.”
“You’re not serious?!” she hissed and kept her voice down as if anyone would possibly hear her.
It was funny because we were the only ones granted access to this route—thanks to pulling a few strings.
Again, I tried to hold back my amusement, but it flooded my face so easily—something that always happened when I was around Willow.
“Would I ever lead your astray?” I decided to test her, making sure my expression was now neutral.
“No,” she immediately responded but pouted her lips. “But you do enjoy teasing me lately, which I feel is Onyx’s influence.”
“Why not Saint?” I asked with intrigue.
“Saint’s way of teasing is taking me in the complete opposite direction so we can go fuck in a corner somewhere,” she voiced as she entwined her fingers with mine. “Your way of teasing me is leading me into the depths of a shadowy dungeon and fucking me with shackles on.”
The idea was very tempting, which immediately had her adding, "In a sanitary way. I’m not having my ass and legs spread wide against a moldy wall with blood, sweat, and tear stains. I’m not entering the new year with a UTI, thanks.”
And I was chuckling.
"I’ll keep that in mind for the after-party,” I summed up, and goddess, her eyes twinkled with mischief.
“Actually?”
“Why are you excited?”
“I can’t be excited about the idea of being fucked in a dungeon? I feel like it’s a good bucket list experience.”
“If it makes you happy, I’ll make a very spontaneous list for the new year.”
“As long as it includes another studio session,” she purred and hooked her opposite arm around my left arm. “I haven’t gotten to see the final product yet.”
The way she seemed disappointed made me want to give her exactly what she desired.
"I know, Sweetness.” It was funny how impatient I was to show her our painting, but with the mayhem we’d experienced the last two days, it was obviously impossible. “Have any guesses as to what it looks like?”
“Blotches of paint everywhere,” she stated with a twinkle in her eye as if she were trying to envision the masterpiece we’d ended up creating with our lovemaking.
We turned the corner and reached the end of the hall where a matte black door with a keypad resided. Entering the code was simple, but I’d been told by Ruby there was a two-minute wait protocol.
“We got to wait two minutes,” I announced. “Apparently it’s their protocol with using this path.”
“Wow. My Neo is following rules? The world really is going to come to an end. I can feel it,” she exaggerated while I took advantage by pulling her into my arms. “And a hug? Yup. The world is done for. They’re all going to feel Neo’s wrath.”
I chuckled and nestled my head into her neck and shoulder, my nostrils opening wide to enjoy her floral scent mixed with some luxurious brand of perfume that only amplified her unique aroma.
“I’ve missed you.”
“As I’ve missed you,” she replied, and I’d bet she was closing her eyes. “Why does it feel like I’ve seen you the least these last few days?”
