then
pulls me against his chest. I hold onto him, like he’s the answer to all my
problems. But he lets me go, grabbing his bag and coat off the chair. “Enjoy
sleeping in tomorrow.”
    “No noise?” I ask, still trying to catch my breath.
    “Nope.”
    He closes the door and like that is gone. Hours ago, I was
not looking forward to tonight, and now, I want to go back to the beginning.
Locking my door, I grab another mini bottle and take the dress with me as I
schlep to my bedroom.
    Tossing the box down, I slam the shot and lift the lid,
pulling out the amazingly gorgeous, black satin and lace number. I’ve never
seen anything like it –it looks like it’s straight out of a London fashion
show. Getting undressed, I slip it on, and it fits like a glove. Grabbing my
phone, I snap a picture of myself in the reflection of the mirror. Realizing
the second that I send it to King I am naked underneath and this is not the best
covering dress. If I zoom in on the picture, I can see the outline of my
breasts.
    Mmm, I like it a lot. Fits perfectly.
    I’m not sure what to say. How do I respond? What am I even
doing or thinking? Leaving my bedroom, I grab a few more shooters as the room
begins to spin and sink down into my couch.
    Send me another one?
    NO.
    Please?
    Sticking my tongue out at him, I hold my phone above my face
and snap the photo, then send it.
    You’re gorgeous
    King, Stop it, I just stuck my tongue out at you.
    And I got hard looking at the picture.
    Slamming another shot, I set my phone down, knowing that I
am drunk and I am most likely going to do or say something that I’ll regret
tomorrow. He’s fucking hard over me. Slinging my arm over my eyes, I ignore the
insistent beeps of my phone. He’ll stop…he has to.

Chapter 11
     
    “All right, all right, all right.” I shout. The banging on
my front door is so loud that I feel like I’m being swallowed up whole by the
noise.
    As I open the door, I can see immediately my dad is
panicked. I’m still wobbly and half drunk. He looks at me and I ask him,
“What’s going on?”
    “You didn’t meet me for breakfast, and you’re not answering
your phone.”
    “Oh my God, I’m so sorry, Dad, but everything is fine,” I
tell him and hug him, hating how worried sick he is. “Why didn’t you use your
key to come in?”
    “I left it at home. I didn’t know this was gonna happen.
Then when you didn’t show and wouldn’t answer your phone, I panicked.”
    “Well, I’m fine. I’m sorry you had to drive all the way out
here. I need coffee and a shower, but I’m good.”
    He smiles, now knowing that everything is okay and asks me,
“What are you wearing?”
    I look down at myself and wonder the same thing. Then I
remember King’s text. Oh fuck, I made him hard. “Could you make some coffee,
Dad? I’m gonna shower. I drank a little too much last night.”
    Grabbing my phone off the table, I stumble into my bathroom
and start the shower. Staring at the screen, before I open any messages there
are seven missed texts from King and five calls from my dad. Looking at the
texts, I get so embarrassed I could hide in the corner of my bathroom forever.
    One more?
    Please?
    Then he texted me back a zoomed in picture of the dress and
says, I can see your nipples.
    They’re hard.
    Goddammit, Ever, I fucking want you.
    I guess I’m going to bed with blue balls…sleep well,
gorgeous.
    Sliding out of the dress, I step into the shower and want to
scream as the water cascades around me. It’s been so long since I’ve had a guy
talk to me like that, or even look in my direction, and now all of sudden this
sexy and successful man…likes me. I have to text him back…but I’m so
embarrassed for what I did last night. I’m not even sure what to say to him.
    After I shower and get dressed in a comfy pair of jean
shorts and a white t-shirt, I let my hair air dry and find my dad holding onto
one of the framed letters that my mom wrote to me. “You know, this was
