A pounding comes to the door, and Austyn rolls her eyes. “He’ll just walk in. He only does that to make sure Ryker and I aren’t fucking. See, he’s an ass.” I giggle. “Okay, get dressed! And I’ll stall him.”
She exits the room, and I suck in deep breaths one after the other. Austyn putme in the spare bedroom of her kickass house that her man got for her. She was nice enough to invite me over when she saw the panicked look on my face about this date.
Austyn has helped down to the last detail of underwear, going shopping for me, but saying next time we’re making it a girls’ day. I’d never had a girls’ day. Even when my mother was alive, we’d do things together, but wenever called them girls’ days, and that is exciting.
Shuffling on the jeans, socks, and boots, black with silver studs that look kickass, I stare down at the top. It’s a lavender color with a low cut down the front, but it has straps that go across it giving the illusion of cleavage, but really keeping everything covered.
The smile on my face is easy. Austyn did good with this one.Slipping on the shirt and pulling it down my body, it fits beautifully.
I flip over my head and run my fingers through it to make the curls loose and wavy, even though in a few moments I’ll be braiding it to ride on the bike. I just want to look nice when he sees me for the first time. It seems so childish, but I’m honored that Nox is giving me this even if I never asked for it.
Looking in the mirror, I grab the leather jacket and toss it on and maneuver my hair. The woman staring back at me isn’t the woman I’ve known for way too many years. She isn’t terrified of her own shadow. She’s sexy in an understated way, giving me the confidence I lost so many years ago.
This is Nox. I love him. He loves me. This was meant to be.
Stepping out of the room and intothe living room, low whistles come immediately. Nox and Ryker.
Austyn smiles brightly as Nox comes up to me. “Fuck, baby.” He leans in taking my mouth, and I don’t even care that people are in the room with us. He pulls away, his lips moving to my ear. “You look beautiful, Carsyn.”
Those warm tingles flow through me.
“Thanks.”
“No, babe. Thank you.” He clasps my handand pulls me out of the house. I try to wave to Austyn, but not sure if she saw it because of the lightning speed Nox is going.
Nox turns me in his arms while next to his bike and kisses me, melting my body at the same time. When he pulls away, I see it. Love. Caring. Understanding. Trust. Safety.
He’s the missing piece to my puzzle.
He makes me whole.
I can’t waitto ride off with him and never look back.
