My eyes pop open and meet Westley’s. He’s smiling, that twinkle of mischief that I like so much lights up his face.
“Our treat,” River murmurs on the other side of Wes, completely glossing over the orgasmic blackout offer.
“You don’t have to–” I start, but three growls cut me off. “I just meant–”
“We know we don’t have to, Lila. We want to. We fucking love the idea of spoiling you. If we can do something to make you happy, we’ll do it. It will be our pleasure, baby,” Wes says, caressing my cheek.
“Let us show you how much we like you, Lila,” Harrison begs, snuggling his face into my neck, and pressing kisses to my skin.
“Okay, I’ll be ready in half an hour,” I giggle. Once they make up their mind about doing something for me, there’s no changing it, and maybe I’m ready to accept that about them. And maybe even enjoy it too.
I rush through getting ready. I just really want to be close to them, and since they all went their separate ways to get ready as well, I had to spend the next half an hour alone.
I can’t afford to go shopping right now. I have too many bills, and even though these men aren’t going to ask me to pay rent, I still have debt to pay off.
Larry wasn’t good with money, and I had to put a lot on my credit cards just to get by.
But if letting the guys buy me a thing or two will make them happy, I can’t say I won’t enjoy the gifts. I’m an omega, after all.
“Ready?” Harrison asks when I walk into the living room.
“Yes,” I nod, grinning ear to ear.
“Let's go.”
The boutique is only a five-minute drive away, and the first thing I notice is how expensive it looks.
“Oh, wow, um. Are you sure about this? They look expensive.” I nibble my bottom lip, nervous about the price tags in there. They live in an apartment, and split the rent between three alphas, but still.
“They are,” River grins, taking my hand in his once we climb out of the car, and pulls me toward the door.
“I’d rather you didn’t look at the price tags, but if you do, just know we aren’t worried,” Wes says, opening the door for me and River. These men are crazy.
“Oh! H-hello sir!” The woman that works here says as we walk in. She’s dressed better than anything I own. This might not be the place for me.
“Lila has a 10 a.m. appointment,” River says, already leading me further into the store. “She’ll have a glass of champagne, please. Is everything we picked out in room four?”
“Yes, sir!” the woman says, hustling away as I’m led further inside. There are a couple of other women working, but theykeep their distance, either helping other shoppers or organizing clothes and accessories.
“This place is definitely not in my price range,” I whisper-hiss at the guys.
“About that, baby girl. There’s something we want to tell you, but first, you have to try on the dress I picked out for you,” Harrison says, as he opens a dressing room door. Of course, it’s a massive room with racks of clothing lining the walls, and a freaking pedestal in the middle of the circular room. The floor to ceiling mirror is massive, and I gasp when I see everything fully.
“What the fuck, you guys?” I gasp… Turning around to push them back out the dressing room door, since they all followed me in here. “Get out, before we get banned or something! They’re going to kick us out!”
“Ha, not fucking likely,” Wes snorts, and my eyes go wide.
“What?” I glance from one man to the next, shaking my head.
“Don’t fuck this up,” Harrison hisses at his packmates. “Here, put this dress on, and we’ll tell you everything.”
“Champagne!” the woman says, knocking on the dressing room door. River opens it enough to take the glass before shutting it quickly.
“Here, this will help,” he says, handing it to me.
“Yeah,” is all I manage to say before taking the glass and downing it. The dress Harrison hands me is a floor length lavender gown. It’s extravagant, and I can’t imagine where I’d wear something like this. But it is beautiful, so with all three men watching me, I try the dress on.
“Fuck, you look beautiful.” Harrison grins, walking over and putting his hands on my hips.
