Chapter 105
“Baby,” I growl as Dani walks into my condo, wrapped in a leather jumpsuit with a pink wig that makes her look like a sexy, lethal assassin. “I didn’t realize when you said ‘sexy costume,’ you meant very sexy costume.”
“What?” Dani giggles knowingly.
“Don’t you think that’s a little much for Declan’s party?”
“Um, no.” Her eyes are sparkling with sass. “I’m fully covered.”
I step closer, taking the zipper of her jumpsuit between my fingers, and inch it down a bit, trailing kisses from her collarbone to her neck. “The sexiest assassin,” I murmur, admiring every detail. “And I love these thigh holsters.” My hands glide over her legs, taking in her strong thighs.
“Get changed already! I’m excited to see what you picked out.”
“We coordinate,” I yell from the bedroom, pulling on black jeans and tying my black leather tennis shoes.
I grab the jacket, lay it across my arm, and go out into the living room to see her.
“I was going to put a shirt on under this, but now that I see you … I think just jacket.” I slide it on, and her lips part.
“They called it a gothic vampire jacket, but it feels more like a post-apocalyptic punk,” I say, pulling the hood up to complete the effect.
“It’s a hot jacket! Oh my God, we are such a vibe right now,” she squeals. “So, so slutty without a shirt! Please let me put eyeliner on you.”
I furrow my brows.
“Please, I have been such a good girl.”
I relent.
She grabs my hand and practically runs us into the bathroom. Opening her drawer, she takes out black eyeliner and makes me sit on the toilet lid. “You look so hot! Oh my fucking God!” she coos, putting the liner on me.
“Dani, calm down.”
“I can’t. You look too sexy.”
Dani has been happy and so full of life the last month. She decided to freeze her eggs. I’m happy she is doing that for herself, even if I know that could be the end of us down the road. I can tell she’s enjoying her new nonprofit clients, too, helping them with fundraising and PR support.
Neither of us has had a drink since her birthday, and now that it’s been about a month and a half, I’m noticing the benefits in my lifting. We’ve been working out together three days a week with Tyler too.
Dani hasn’t said anything about her body image lately, and I love the size she is. I love all the sizes she’s been since we’ve been together, and I am happy she’s focused on her health above everything else.
And as for Adam … whatever Declan did or said seems to have done the trick. Adam hasn’t contacted her, and we’re keeping communication about Real-ity through Greg. Honestly, I’m relieved.
I look at myself in the mirror, chuckling at the eyeliner. “Shall we go?”
“Yes! I can’t wait to have crazy sex in these costumes later.”
Smirking, I give her a firm swat on her leather-clad ass. “I’m holding you to that.”
