Excerpt
I showered and shaved, slathered on my favorite
sweet-smelling body lotion, slid into the dress after deciding on a thong and
no bra, thanks to the mesh, and curled and teased my hair, giving it body and
height that looked kick-ass paired with my outfit.
I also went to town on my makeup job, keeping
everything heavy but the kind of heavy that screamed fierce concertgoer and not
back alley hooker.
Dark, smoky eyes, false lashes that flared at the
ends, and warm cerise lipstick.
I felt pretty. Really
pretty.
The kind of pretty a girl had to commemorate with a
selfie, and there was only one person in the entire world I wanted to send that
selfie to.
I bit my lip while swiping my phone off the bed and
pulling up the camera mode.
I was nervous.
Understandably so. This would be the first time
Brian was going to see me.
Like ever.
Heavy stuff right there.
I’d thought about sending him pictures before, but
got sidetracked with conversation and his sweet as warmed honey voice I wanted
to taste, and all thoughts of pictures would slip my mind. Considering he never
asked to see a photo of me didn’t help either.
Since he wasn’t bringing it up, I was hardly
thinking about it.
But right now, standing in my bedroom with my makeup
done up and my hair looking prettier than it had on prom night, sending Brian a
picture of me was suddenly all I could think about.
And before I could think or whisper talk myself out
of it, I reversed the camera so I could see myself on the screen, held the
device out in front of me and off to the right a bit, pursed my stained lips
into a kiss, other hand poised at my chin to blow it, and snapped the picture.
Then I attached it to a text and hit Send.
Feeling
WILD.
I wanted to put my phone down. Really I did,
especially since I had to snap on my studded cuff bracelet and that required
use of both hands, furthermore because Tori had given me a fifteen-minute
warning close to fifteen minutes ago, but I couldn’t let the damn thing go.
I couldn’t stop looking at it either.
My stomach was clenched. I was biting my fist and
pacing the length of the bed, head down and eyes anxiously focused.
But when the little bubbles floated in teasing
intervals on my screen and I knew Brian
had seen my photo, that’s when the real panic set in.
Would he like how I looked? Would it be how he had
imagined and confessed to imagining countless times late at night to me, or
better, would my photo exceed the limits of his imagination and paint a more
pleasing image in his mind?
Or would he hate it and me for sending it to him, shattering his dreamed-up spank-bank
material and ruining every orgasm I ever gave him?
Shit.
Shit!
Which was it and why the hell was he taking so long
to type? Didn’t he know this was killing me?
“Hurry up!” I whispered against the screen.
It started ringing in response to my plea, startling
me and nearly slipping out of my hand.
Oh, God, he was calling.
Fate. Hate. Love. Lies.
Which four letter word will change their lives forever?
