“That’ll be fun, though.”

“True. Now, stop moving and look at my right shoulder.” I pick up a set of false lashes with my tweezers and carefully line the band up to her lash line.

Thankfully, other than the meet and greet both days and the competition tomorrow, I don’t have any other obligations during the expo. I would be drained as it was. All five of us do have a brand party tomorrow night, but that’s way later and I’ll probably find a way to dip early.

“Okay, close your eyes.” I grab my setting spray and douse her with a heavy layer. “Beautiful.”

Lee blinks her eyes open and grins at me before spinning to look at herself in the mirror.

“You’re a miracle worker.”

“I can’t help that the Gods gifted me with this talent.” I spin around, brandishing the ribbons from my corset. “Now, tie me up.”

“Kinky.”

Thank fuck I’m facing away from her because I do not have it in me to school my expression. Flames lick their way through my body, combing deep in my center as my mind whirls back to the other night with Jackson.

The man still owes me an orgasm.

It’s been two days, and I’m wound tighter than a clock.

If he’d just let me cum, maybe I wouldn’t have so much of this anxiety bottled within me.

Lee must use every ounce of strength in her body when she pulls the ribbons tight because within point five seconds, my lungs become the size of peanuts.

“Oh my Gods,” I wheeze out. “Gonna let a girl breathe maybe?”

“Beauty is pain.”

“I hate you.”

“You love me.” She gives me a tap on the butt before walking out of the bathroom “Come on, let’s go.”

This line is never-ending.

“Wow, you are, like, even prettier in person.”

“Aw, thank you.”

“Okay, and smile,” the photographer calls out.

I turn toward him, throw up a peace sign, and smile. The girl next to me does the same just before the flash goes off.

“It was lovely meeting you.”

“You, too!” She waves emphatically as she is ushered out of the meet and greet area.

I turn to receive the next person.

“Hiya.” My smile never leaves my face.

“Hi, ohmigosh, it’s so cool to meet you. You got me into playing video games.”

“Aw, really? That’s awesome. Do you have a fave?”

“I loveMoonstone Valley,but,” she gestures to my outfit, “I’m also a fan ofCherry Farm. Super cute, by the way.”
