Page 16 of His Brave Girl

“Thank you. Now it’s time for us to make you look hot, too.”

“No.” She shakes her head. “I’ll never be hot.”

Says the girl who has curves women would kill for. I take her hand and lead her to my full-length mirror. “Do you see yourself, Ruby? You’re a total knockout. Chase couldn’t even take his eyesoff you when you came out of the locker room. Your body is beautiful. Can’t you see that?”

Her eyes travel down the length of her reflection. “I’m chubby and my boobs are way too big. They make me look top-heavy.”

I shake my head. How can she not see how gorgeous she is? “First of all, you have tits that guys go crazy for. And in no way do they make you look top-heavy or fat or whatever you think. Not only that, but guys want some meat on a girl. They like having something to grab onto. You should embrace your curves. I would if I were you. I’d be showing them off every chance I got. I definitely wouldn’t hide under those huge sweatshirts.”

Her lips start to quirk into a smile, and there’s a glimmer of confidence starting to part the clouds that always seem to be looming over her. “Do you really think so? You don’t think my boobs look saggy?”

Saggy?“No way! How could you even think that?”

“Because Cassie used to always call me saggy tits.”

Oh my God, I fucking hate that girl. No wonder Ruby struggles with her body image. She had Cassie beating her down all these years.

“Let me tell you something.” I turn her around to face me. “The only reason Cassie said that is because she envies you. Her body doesn’t even come close, Ruby. And I’m not saying that to make you feel better. It’s the truth. Please don’t take anything she said to heart. You’re beautiful. Inside and out.”

There are tears in her eyes and I feel mine filling too. I think it’s time to lighten the mood.

“And if I had tits like yours, I’d be putting them out there for the world to see. And for the guys to enjoy.” I give her a wink.

She shakes her head. “Really? You don’t think I’d look like a fool dressing like you.”

“Are you kidding? You looked hot in my clothes today. You rocked that outfit better than me.”

Her smile has me heading right into my closet and picking out the perfect outfit for her. Tonight, she’s going to look fire.

CHAPTER 12

Presley

The moment I walk through the door, our eyes connect, Kyler’s intense stare penetrating my every nerve. Before I know it, I’m pressed against the wall, locked within his arms.

“You don’t play fair, Presley.” His eyes singe their way down my body. “I’m trying to behave, baby.”

But that’s just it. I don’t want him to behave. My thong is already soaked, wanting him to rip it from my body. He looks so good in his tight shirt and his low hung jeans. I want to run my hands all over him, but I keep them locked to my sides.

“You look good too,friend.” He lets out a little grumble and it has me smiling. “Do you want to show me and Ruby around?”

“Hi, Ruby!” He straightens back up, letting me go and turning toward my friend. “I’m glad you came tonight.”

I already miss being wrapped in his arms and having his undivided attention, but I’m proceeding with caution and seeing where things take us. Hoping they take us to a dark corner where I can kneel before him and drive him crazy with my tongue.

“Hi, Kyler.” Ruby waves, looking nervous. “Thank you for inviting me.”

“My pleasure, girl. And I have to say. You look really pretty tonight.” He turns toward me. “You both do.”

The blush hits her cheeks and her head tucks down, but I can see the smile on her face. It’s going to take her some time to get used to the compliments. But she better because the guys are already taking notice. I see the stares from around the room, guys checking her out. Some with a question on their faces, like they’re trying to figure out how they know her. She’s always kept to herself, hidden herself under giant clothes, so I’m guessing there’s going to be a moment of shock when they realize who she is.

Kyler takes my hand and shows us around Chase’s house. The place is huge. It’s obvious his family has some serious money. There’s even an indoor basketball court, and a two story workout room. When we walk into the library, which is filled wall to wall with books, Ruby gasps. She loves to read, so I can understand her excitement.

“Hey, you guys!”

We turn at the sound of Chase’s voice. His eyes go straight to the girl on my right, and I can see he likes her new look.

“Hey, man!” Kyler pulls me closer to his side. It feels like he’s staking his claim, but he has nothing to worry about. The only one I want to befriendswith is him. “I was just showing the girls around your place.”
