“Yes, your uncle. You’re a quesadilla, he’s a burrito.” He blinked before smirking in amusement.
“You really are interesting, Kitten.”
“That’s the only unique thing about me, my weird brain.” I shrugged, tugging my sleeves down over my hands. “So, shall we go down?”
“Come on.” He wrapped his arms around me from behind, tugging me up against his chest, and kissed my neck softly. “I can’t wait until tonight…” My heart thudded, knowing that then… he would mark me…
He bit down slowly on my neck, making me gasp as a ripple of pleasure ran through me. His hand slipped under my shirt and caressed my stomach. My breath hitched. My chest heaved as he continued his sensual kisses along my neck.
“Rayhan… we need to go…” I murmured, feeling something hard against my lower back.
“I know, Kitten…” He forced himself back, his eyes flickering from green to grey. I smiled slightly as I led the way out of the bedroom.
It was laterin the day, and when Kiara had said that she was going to order some stuff, I didn’t realise just how much. On top of that, she said she had gotten most of it delivered to Rayhan’s home. That hit hard, making me realise that this was it – I was officially going to have to face his family.
Kiara had then taken me out for a full pampering session, saying I needed my nails, hair, and makeup done. So, there we were; I was sitting on the chair at the salon after having a full-body pampering session, including a pedicure, massage, and a full-body wax. We finished with some shimmering oil that I had to admit I loved.
“I’m thinking of adding a few layers to add some volume, then a full wash and blow-dry,” the hairdresser said, giving me a smile. “Your hair is so white. Where did you get it done? I’ve never seen such a pure white shade…”
“Oh, somewhere down London side,” I lied instantly; it wasn’t the truth, but I couldn’t really say it was natural.
“It’s great, but the cut isn’t the best. Don’t worry, we will fix that all up,” she said politely. I nodded as another woman came over and began filing my nails.
“Acrylics, but not too long,” Kiara added from her seat, where she was sitting drinking some tea.
“Acrylics?” I said. “I really don’t think they are necessary.”
“Just try them once. If you don’t like them, never again,” Kiara said with a pleading look. I sighed and nodded, giving in. There was something about her innocent doe eyes that made it hard to refuse.
When we went down at lunchtime, luckily no one mentioned anything, and although I knew at some point we would need to talk about it, I was glad there wasn’t any awkwardness between us.
“The kin- Alejandro is a hands-on dad, isn’t he?” I asked, remembering how Kiara had bunged the child in his arms and announced we were leaving.
“He does find it hard. I’ve noticed it’s rare for him to keep him alone. He usually has backup with him, and this time that backup is Rayhan.” Kiara laughed.
“Well, they can all have some bonding time.” I smiled.
Rayhan had been more worried about me leaving the pack territory, which everyone had agreed on, so he, Alejandro, and Dante were in a car stationed outside.
The lady washed my hair, and never in my life had I ever used so many products, virtually none compared to how much was then applied to it. After the wash, she got to cutting it, getting rid of all the dead ends and any of the uneven strands that remained, thanks to my home cuts. Once my hair was dried and she had styled it into loose curls, she got to my face. She applied a tonne of products that I would never use. I wished I had the lipstick Rayhan had gotten me…
“What are you wearing for tonight?” the woman asked. Kiara had told her I was going on a special date.
“This,” Kiara said, holding her phone out. I raised an eyebrow. What was I wearing? I hoped it wasn’t something revealing…
“Ah, I know the perfect look,”
“Please, not too much… I don’t want to not look like myself,” I cut in, moving back slightly from her make-up brush.
“Don’t worry, babe, leave it to me. You will look natural yet flawless. She is gorgeous,” she added to Kiara, who nodded.
“Can you please go for something nude on my nails?” I requested, looking at the woman who had gone over to the large wall full of polishes and powders.
“Sure, hun, let’s add a touch of sparkle, too.”
“Just a little…” I replied.
Looking at Kiara, I noticed despite her nails being painted a simple pale pink, they were also acrylics, and I could tell she was into her fashion.
