Sweet Pain (Amatucci Family #3) - Sadie Jacks Page 0,127
I had to remember not to breathe too deeply. The neckline was a thick band of material that was very collar-esque.
I walked over to the rack, checked to see if they had my size. Tali had a smile the size of Texas on her face. Jessa looked conflicted and Nik looked like she wanted to buy it for herself.
“Yes. I’ll pay for it just to see the look on your man’s face when you step out of the bathroom,” Tali said. “And I want to see the color drain from your creation donor’s face when she sees you.”
Jessa nodded. “I’ll probably want to jump your bones, but yes. You need to get that dress.”
Nik smiled. “If you don’t get it, I will.” Her smile was predatory.
I pulled it from the rack, took it to the sales lady. “I’d like to try this on, please.”
She looked up from her ledger. Smiled. “Of course. Our guests have said that it runs a bit tight. Do you want me to have the next size up ready if you need it?”
I nodded. “Thank you.”
“My pleasure. We’ve been getting rave reviews about it. This way.” She led me to the back of the store, unlocked a room for me. “Give me a shout if you need that next size. I’m Charity.”
“Thanks, Charity.” I closed the door and started stripping. I almost hated that I was on my period more than usual. Nothing like stuffing a big ass into a skin tight dress when you’re feeling bloated and not sexy in the least. Hooray for being a girl. Not.
“I’ve got one to try on, too, babe. Don’t leave me back here by myself,” Jessa called as she went into another room.
I snorted. “You’ll probably be in yours before I’m in mine. So you don’t leave me.”
I got to work stuffing and stretching, plumping and holding my breath. With one final heave, I got the breast straps positioned over my tits. Once the ‘dress’ was in place, it was actually really supportive and comfortable. Too bad it took a bloody war to get in place.
I heaved a breath. Fought to get my panting under control. I probably needed to lay off the chocolate.
A knock sounded. “I’m ready, are you?” Jessa called.
I snorted, opened the door. “Told you you’d be ready befo—” My mouth dropped open as my words cut off mid sentence.
She was a vision. Dark blue, the dress was a stiff kind of material that made sharp angles over her chest while leaving her shoulders bare. It skimmed over her belly and hips before flaring out in a sharp bell. A short train made the dress elegant instead of harsh.
“That’s the reaction I was hoping for. Think Nico will like it?”
I laughed. “Girl, that man would live in blue if he could. Yes, he’s going to love it.” I spread my arms. “What do you think?”
She looked me over from toe to head. She wiped at her mouth dramatically. “I almost wish I had a dick right now. You looked ravaging.”
I chuckled. “I think you mean ravishing.”
She shook her head. “No, I’m pretty sure Ryker is going to want to ravage you. I’m sticking to ravaging.”
I laughed, hooked my arm through hers and we strode back out to the front of the store. Tali and Nik were playing with shoes.
“Ahem,” I called.
They looked over. Tali squealed like a little girl. “YES! Both of you, YES!”
Nik’s smile was bold. “Damn. I still might have to come back and buy that dress.” She winked at me. “You both look delicious. Neither of your men will be able to keep their hands to themselves.”
Jessa and I shared a look. Then a high five. As one, we turned to Charity and her coworker. “We’ll take them,” we said in unison.
Ryker slid his hand over my hip. “That’s five, cupcake.” He leaned forward, nipped my ear. “Get ready for some intense frustration.”
I chuckled. Damn, I’d forgotten to keep track of the women ogling my man. I’d gotten caught up in the game of cat and mouse we’d just started with my creation donors.
“Well, make sure you spell their names right. I’m sure the police will want a full, accurate accounting.” I batted my lashes at him.
He slid his hand down to my ass. Pinched my hip. “Easy, cupcake. I’m sure there are enough rooms around here that I can begin your torture now and it would relieve some of mine.”
