Because I know your body. I know what it’s capable of. I know how far I can bring you toward pain before it turns into pleasure. And I know this is going to hurt at first, but I also know how good it’s going to feel.

Me

When?

Ridge

When you least expect it … and when I can’t wait another fucking second to have it.

Me

RIDGE!

Ridge

Yeah? LOL.

Me

I just received your package and opened it. Are you nuts? Why are you spoiling me like this? I’m sitting in my room, staring at this giant box, and I’m in complete awe.

Ridge

Because I can and because I want to.

Me

The dress, the shoes, the bag—they’re all so stunning. And the fact that it’s from you and Daisy made me all swoony. I can’t wait to wear them to the wedding, Ridge. <3

Ridge

When I told Daisy you were coming and that I wanted to get you something to wear, she insisted on going shopping with me. She helped me pick it out. Everything was approved by her.

Me

How did you even know my size?

Ridge

Baby, I don’t forget details, not when they’re about you.

Me

My mind just exploded, in case you were wondering.

I just tried everything on, and I’m going to send you a pic. Wait until you see how it looks. It’s like this dress was made for me.

Ridge

No, don’t. I want it to be a surprise when I see it on you in Edinburgh.

Me

I love that. And I love you. Thank you for giving me the most gorgeous dress that has ever been on my body and shoes that I’m dying over and a bag I can’t stop staring at.

You know, you’re lucky you cut off all the tags because I know everything is designer, and if I found out how much you’d spent on it, I’d make you return it.

Ridge
