“Why did you buy them? I don’t need them.”
“I know you don’t need them. Jewelry isn’t about fulfilling a need. I wanted you to have them because I thought they’d be perfect on you. You don’t have to take them.”
“It’s not me, Pearce. I don’t wear jewelry. I don’t really care for it.”
“Tell you what. At least try them on. Try the bracelet on with your dress the night of the ball and then decide. If you still don’t want it, I’ll take it back. But can I clue you in on a little secret?”
“Yeah, sure.”
“When I was looking at those bracelets, the only thing I could think of was you being naked and wearing only that while you were on top, riding me. Will you at least do that for me one time?”
I looked at him sideways and burst out laughing.
“You’re kidding.”
“Would I kid about that?”
I looked at him again and his eyes had darkened. His tongue flicked across his bottom lip right before he dragged his teeth across it. I could honestly say he was telling the truth.
“You mean to tell me you spent thousands of dollars so you could see me naked, having sex with you, wearing a bracelet?”
“That’s about right.” His eyes had taken on that bedroom sexy look as his voice had gotten all husky on me.
“You’re kind of kinky.”
“Only with you, babe. Now can we go home so you can try on your new sex toy?” He ran his finger from the hollow in my throat down to the top of my breast.
I let out another loud belly laugh.
Eighteen
Time seemed to be passing by at warp speed. The night of the ball arrived, and I was getting ready at Pearce’s. I decided to wear my hair up in a messy bun at the nape of my neck. I was fairly good at this, not great, thus a little anxiety kicked in as I pinned it up. My belly fluttered as I thought of all the wealthy people that would be attending tonight. I would be a million miles out of my element. Every time I thought about it, my hands trembled, which didn’t help my hair at all.
My makeup was finished. I had vacillated over wearing mascara, but I still couldn’t bring myself to do it. It brought forth awful memories of Fred and Barney and that made me want to hurl too.
I stepped into my gown and then my stilettos. I said a prayer about not face-planting, zipped up my dress, and put the new diamond studs in my ears. The last thing I did was clasp the diamond bracelet on my wrist and I instantly felt myself become wet. That bracelet had become Pearce’s new toy d’choice. Every time I looked at it, my body surged with desire.
I scurried out of the room before I did something that would make us late.
I took my time walking down the stairs, and when I reached the living room, Pearce turned and froze. He didn’t move for such a long time I began to worry.
“Christ, Alexia. I’m not sure I can take you anywhere looking like that.”
“Is it that bad?” He had me worried my hair wasn’t right or something was off.
“Bad? Jesus, you’re so fucking beautiful I honestly don’t know if I can keep my hands off you. I’m not joking, sweetheart. I’m tempted to tell you to go and change.”
“But I don’t have anything else to wear.”
“Then maybe we shouldn’t go.”
“You’re kidding, right?”
“No, I am not kidding. Come here.”
I walked over to him and, well, he didn’t hold anything back. He backed me against the wall, and it was hard, fast, and rough. I was thoroughly satisfied when we were done.
He rearranged my gown, making sure everything was in order while I tucked and zipped him back in. I went to the bathroom for a quick check and off we went to the ball.
