My best friend ran his fingers through his blonde locks. “Believe me, I don’t like it in the slightest, but I don’t need the little psycho to hold that against me. I’ll have the composure of a saint.”

I opened my mouth to say something back when I heard feet coming down the stairs. We both looked at the same time and watched as Elise came into view and walked over to us. She had on the tightest black pants I’d ever seen and a crop top that was so short, we could see right underneath her breasts. Her lips were painted a deep red and her eyeliner was heavy, like she had taken extra effort in the way she looked tonight. She tapped her black combat boots on the ground, ignoring us.

“Where is the rest of your top?” Reese asked as he tried to hide his eyes.

Elise snorted. “Oh please, Blondie. We both know you like what you see, it’s okay, you can admit it.”

Reese made a gagging sound. “Don’t make me vomit. I’m just trying to make sure that I won’t look over and see one of your tits just out on display.”

“Well, you would get an eyeful wouldn’t you. Probably one of the few breasts you’ll see in your lifetime,” Elise joked, sticking her tongue out at him.

“Can we put the back and forth aside until we get back?” I asked them, nearly pleading. I pointed at Reese. “You don’t want me to be unfocused and I don’t want that for you either, so just fucking stop.”

Elise pushed out her bottom lip. “There you go again, trying to tell me what to do like I’ll listen. It’s cute when you get all authoritative, I can see why the ladies must line up to suck your dick.”

I scrubbed a hand down my face. “Um, okay. Where’s Dani?”

Elise started to speak but swiveled her head around when the click of heels sounded on the stairs. I cut my eyes to Dani, who settled at the last step, her hand on the railing. My mouth automatically opened as I took her in, piece by piece. She wore heels that weren’t too tall but gave her some height. I dragged my eyes up her exposed legs, every inch of glowing brown skin on display. When my eyes had finally had enough of her legs, I took in the rest of her and fuck…

That. Fucking. Dress.

The black dress was some type of silk material that met just at the middleof her thighs. It glided over her body and curves like it was made just for her and I wanted to run my fingers over it. There was a small tie around the waist of the dress that added to its subtleness. Lace detailing covered the part that encapsulated her chest, pushing her breasts up. The design was intricate and pretty; the bust met long flare sleeves that matched the silk texture of the rest of the dress with delicate black shoulder straps adorned along her collarbones. The hem of the dress was so short I wanted to slide my hands up her legs and see if she had anything on underneath. I could feel myself getting hard way too quickly and shifted my stance.

I rolled my shoulders and tried to seem like none of what I just committed to memory would be a problem for me.

“Everything okay, Nicholas,” Dani asked. It almost came out like a purr.

I blinked up to her face and nearly forgot how to breathe. She had simple eye makeup on, and her lips were pink, much pinker than normal. Her hair was down and cascaded over her shoulders, the mass of curls were defined, forming tight ringlets and less tight spirals. They framed her face in this perfect way that I couldn’t describe. Actually, I didn’t forget how to breathe; she just took my breath away. And she could keep it for as long as she wanted.

“Uh, yeah. I-I'm good. You?” I stuttered, clearing my throat. She giggled and took a few steps towards us.

“Perfect.” She tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear, taking in everyone else around us.

Reese looked from Dani to me and got up from the couch, patting me on the shoulder. “You are so fucked,” he whispered, walking around the couch to the front door.

I let out a sigh, not noticing that Dani wasn’t following the others, but she was only a few feet in front of me. She made a move to shuffle forward a bit, closing the distance between us even more. She reached her fingers out and trailed them along my arm, tugging at my shirt sleeve. “Told you the black shirt would be a good choice.”

I couldn’t keep my eyes from scanning her face and down her body. Again.

She hummed. “How do I look, Nicholas?” She peeked up at me from under her lashes that looked longer than they normally did.

“Dani, you know how you look.”

She stuck her tongue between her teeth, playfully. “I know, but I want you to tell me.”

“Fishing for compliments?”

She shrugged. “I think we both know what you’re thinking about and what you want to say are two very different things.” Her expression screamed,tell me I’m wrong. It was like she knew that it was my instinct to tell her something controlled, but really all I was thinking about was how much I wanted to have her bent over this couch, mumbling unintelligible sounds and screaming while I fucked her from behind. I didn’t say that though, as much as she would have thrilled at it.

“You look beautiful,” I said, playing with the material of her sleeve. “You always look beautiful,” I added, feeling the back of my neck heating up.

She looked down, away from my face, almost like she was a little shy. She shook her head, looking back up at me as she gripped my chin and pulled my face down. “You’re sweet. So, so sweet. Just for that I’ll have you know that I thought long and hard about wearing panties under this dress. Rest assured, I’m not naked under here, so if I happen to bend over, no one will get an eyeful. You’re welcome.” She released my chin and twirled around, her heels clicking against the wood as she made her way to the front door.

I watched the way her dress moved with her, my eyes automatically following the sway of her hips and the perfect silhouette of her ass.

Yeah, I was fucked.

We walked down the pathway I remembered from when we first got here. The red lights illuminating our way with every step we took. Elise led the way with Dani close behind her. I really fucking hated leaving our weapons behind, but she had said we couldn’t bring them inside and I would have rather them be safely stored at Beetee’s hostel than taken away from me at a demonic club. Not that I actually would have let them.
