“I’m ready to see what the doll is wearing!”

Bash could make statements like that all night long and no one would ever think a thing about it since he was gay. Without a doubt, he was going to continue making similar statements about Stevie until this night was over and he was also going to continue shooting me a sly grin at every turn just like he was doing now.

We’d just stepped onto Stevie’s porch when she opened her front door and my breath caught in my throat. She smiled at me and then looked over at Bash.

“Damn, girl! You—are—gorgeous!” he said.

“Thank you. Don’t you just love this dress?” Stevie held her arms out to the side and began moving her hips around in a way I’d never seen her do before. She only did it for a few seconds and then stopped.

“I more than love it, doll! Wow!”

Bash walked up to her, grabbed her hand, raised it into the air, and then slowly spun her around to see all of her. Frontandback.

Stevie’s dress was black-sequined at the top and faded down into a mix of black and silver, hitting Stevie’s bare legs a few inches above her knees. The only thing holding the dress on her body were two thin straps going over her shoulders and I could already imagine one of them slipping off, then Stevie slipping one of her slender fingers underneath it to put it back in its place.

I couldn’t get over how the garment looked on her. It was like it’d been tailor-made for Stevie. It accented her waistline and hips, and also her breasts. The plunge in the front revealed inches of her cleavage, and seeing it made my cock twitch inside my pants. It’d already done that several times since I’d been standing here staring at Stevie, and with every second that kept passing by, the more I realized exactly howchallenging it was going to be to keep the red flags lowered this evening. Or moreaptly put—how challenging it was going to be to keep my hands off Stevie in front of everyone.

I glanced down at the black high heels that she was wearing and noticed the straps on them were sequined like the top part of her dress. I also noticed that Stevie’s toenails were polished a glossy black like her fingernails.

When I looked back up at her face, I began taking in more detail about her makeup. It was more than I’d ever seen her wear before but it looked incredible. Her eyes were lined in black on the top lid and above that precise line, Stevie had applied a pearl-white shadow and then a brownish-gray one a little higher up. Her bottom lash line was shadowed with that same brownish-gray, making her eyes appear smoky, and her eyelashes were neatly coated with black mascara, making them appear even longer than they already were. Her eyebrows were more defined, her high cheekbones were contoured and her pouty lips were glossed with sparkles. And her hair? Stevie had it pulled up in the back with loose pieces falling around her face. All I could do was stare at this drop-dead gorgeous vixen in front of me and as soon as Bash stopped checking her out, she looked back at me and smiled again.

“So what do you think, Buchanan? Is all this I’ve done to myself too much?” she asked.

I put my hands in my pockets and swallowed hard. “No, Sinclair…it’s not too much. You look amazing.”

“You really like my dress?”

I dropped my head and smiled, then met Stevie’s gaze again. “I love your dress. I love those high heels that you have on. I love the way that you’re wearing your hair and how you’ve done your makeup, and I also love that black polish on your fingernails and toenails. You took my breath away when you opened your door.”

Stevie kept staring into my eyes without saying anything and I wished so much that I knew what she was thinking right now. Then she finally told me.

“I did all of this for you and was really hoping you liked it. I love that you love it.”

“I really do. And that dress…” I said, looking at it again. “It fits you like a glove.”

“And Zac will be taking it off your body later tonight.” Bash chuckled, making Stevie do the same.

I cut my eyes over at him and he had that sly grin of his aimed straight at me again. Then I asked Stevie if she was ready to go.

“I am, but before we leave, I need you to do something for me please,” she said.

“Anything.”

“Unbutton your shirt some more. Two more buttons, in fact. It’s only fair that I get to see a little more of your skin since I’m showing so much of mine.”

I smiled and then did as she asked. “Is that better?”

Her eyes moved across my chest and then met mine again. “Yes.”

“Oh my God, you two!” Bash said, shaking his head at us. “Come on! We need to get this party started!”

Stevie chuckled again and grabbed her black clutch off the entryway table along with a gift bag. After closing and locking her front door, Bash and I stepped aside and motioned for her to walk ahead of us. As she was moving past me, she ran her fingertips across my stomach, making it quiver. I sighed, then looked over at Bash.

“Don’t say another word,” I told him.

He sly-grinned at me yet again and patted my arm, and then we stepped onto the sidewalk, trailing behind Stevie. We’d only made it a few yards when I heard whistling and hollering coming from the limo and looked over to see the windows rolled downand all the occupants with their eyes glued to Stevie. She waved off their catcalls while laughing and I just kept watching her walk in front of me while my body ached for hers.

Inside the limo, Stevie sat down next to Brooke and this time, I sat across the aisle from her, next to Bash. I was also directly in front of my lover, who’d just met Ian for the first time. I knew she was going to like him as much as everyone else here did and I also knew he was going to like her just as much.
