“Tyler.” Allegra nods almost coolly, her eyes narrowing. Uh-oh, the frosty voice, that means I’m in trouble. I swear if I didn’t know her, I might even be scared of this woman. There is just something about the determination in her eyes, like the night she threatened to tear me limb from limb and beat me with them if I ever broke Lexi’s heart again, that I find disconcerting.
Blair just laughs, eyes glazed and face red, making me arch my eyebrow. How long have they been drinking?
“Now, Tyler, what are you hiding from our girl? You’re not cheating, are you? Do we need to cut off your dick?” Allegra snarls.
Snorting, I look down at my angel. “Cheat on this magnificent creature? You think I’m a fucking idiot? No, but she will have to wait to see, until tomorrow at least,” I promise, and kiss her again. “I’ll go make some chicken or something,” I offer. “Leave you to your girls’ night, Angel.”
“Love you,” she slurs.
Chuckling, I kiss her again, unable to help it. She is so adorable. “I love you too, Angel, always,” I promise.
I turn to head back inside. “I want pizza, hottie!” she yells after me.
I hear them agreeing that pizza sounds good, so with a smile on my face, I shake my head as I go inside to make pizza. What my girl wants, my girl gets.
As I’m making them, I look back outside. The setting sun blazes across the garden, lighting up my girl in all her glory. She glows with happiness, laughing at something they said. Like she feels me, she turns, and her laughter tapers off as she smiles at me, one filled with such happiness, it’s impossible to not feel the same.
I still miss Justin, it still hurts, but Lexi is helping me heal one day at a time. I was a fool for pushing her away and letting her go, but I don’t plan to do that ever again. Not only does she hold me together when I’m weak, but she holds my hand when I’m strong. She’s so perfect. The light to my dark.
My angel to my sinner.
I’ve never felt love like this or even knew it was possible. Every time I look at her, it seems to grow. I wake up with my heart already full and a smile on my lips. I go through my day with a skip in my step, knowing I’m going home to her always.
I don’t know what the rest of our lives will bring, but I know with her at my side, I can handle anything.
Always.
Lexi
I have on some string panties and a bra, the ropes crisscrossing over my body and framing my curves enticingly. I can’t wait for him to strip me out of it later.
Under the sophisticated dress he bought me, I’m all sin.
They bite into my thighs as we drive towards my surprise. My tight white dress glitters with what looks like diamonds. It stops just above my knees with a snug top and cinched waist, and the flared skirt hangs down like dripping diamonds. Tyler told me to wear it earlier and left me to get ready. The bodice glitters, the material skimpy and held up by spaghetti straps. I have on diamond earrings and a necklace he bought me, and my makeup and hair are done so I look, in his words, ‘good enough to eat.’
“Tell me,” I whine, looking over at him.
He laughs and shakes his head as I huff.
“Fine,” I mutter. “Better be good.”
“It will be worth the wait,” he promises, leaning over and kissing me when we stop at a red light. “Trust me, Angel.”
Five minutes later, we pull up outside Zodiac, the first restaurant we went on a date to. In fact, the first place I realised this was more than sex, and I frown but get out. He takes my hand as he gives the keys to the valet, but I feel him shaking slightly, making me stare at his profile in concern. What’s going on? Why all the secrets? The dramatics? The door opens for us, and we head inside, my head clouded with questions as nerves fill me.
Music wafts to me, a slow, loving beat that has me smiling. I love this place, but is this really the surprise?
However, when I look around, my confusion only grows. It’s empty. The whole restaurant is empty except for us.
