When she did,Itook inSirkand realized she was right.
Sure,Sirkwas so handsome,Ididn’t miss this, but it only registered in my mind in a vague way, consideringAleksei’slooks were god-like, thus he outshone every male around him.
Now it was registering in a not-vague way.
Aleksei still looked like a god.
I glanced over my shoulder to smile at my mate.
He wasn’t paying attention to the conversation.
He was staring at my behind, and the expression on his face put goosebumps on my flesh.
I didn’t know if he would make it, butIwas me, thus,Iwould have worn something like whatIhad on regardless.
But right then, with his expression,Iwas gladIwas wearing my flamingo-pink satin, to-the-toes gown that was cut on the bias, had a halter-neck, zero back, clung to my curves and showed side boob.
I wore nothing else but the little diamond studsI’dbought myself after my first lead costume designer gig, and the diamond braceletMr. andMrs.Truelockbought me whenIgraduated from theRoyalCollegeofArtandDesign.
Oh, and a single silver sandal.
My mane-mate had put my hair into a messy, side pony.
I sensed (mightily) thatAlekseiapproved.
“I’ll have my suppliers propel three cases, chilled,”Sirkwas saying, soIturned back to him. “You’llhave them in less than an hour.”
“Oh my gods,”Catrepeated. “Ilove you.”
Sirk grunted and tossed myPalmto me.
I caught it and aimed the display at my face. “Yougood?”
“Get here,Ineed you.I’mglad the prince made it.Ican already tell you look amazing.AndIlove you.Byeeeeeeee.”
My display went blank.
I pivoted my head between the two gorgeous males in my presence and stated, “Webest get going.”
“I think you best find your other shoe first,bissi,”Alekseisuggested on an amused half-grin.
“Oh!Farg!”Iexclaimed, and totter-ran to my closet.
I eventually had to run through a third of my shoe display program beforeIfound, for some unhinged reason,I’dshoved the other sandal in with a pair of foam kicks thatI’dbought becauseIthoughtIcould pull them off, butIwasn’t a foam (or a kicks) type of female.
And after successfully rejoining the males, fully shod,Ihad to dash back to the closet to grab a handheld lint vac.
ButIfinally gotNova’sfur offAleksei, andIwas on his arm as he escorted me down in the lift.
He went out first and got in hisJetPanther.
Sirk andIexited five minutes later, and he situated me beside him in his awesome, sporty bright redBratShot250.
And off we went forAlekseiand my first officially unofficial appearance in the same public space being mates.
Color me crazy, me,Ms.Homebody, was looking forward to it.
But mostly,Iwas glad he was back.
