I frown. “You think so.”
When the others all nod, I tilt my head thoughtfully. Why not…dressing up to turn Finn on and to feel sexy myself doesn’t sound too bad.
“But I’m not sure.” Ryllis looks a bit flustered and sad. “I mean…” She messes with the sleeves of her sweater.
“Oh, hun,” Annie smiles warmly at her. “You don’t need to wear anything specific for Steve. Just put on whatever you like. And if you don’t like anything specific, that’s okay too.”
“I like this one,” Ryllis admits while eyeing a pastel pink set. It’s more on the cute side, but for Ryllis to like something like this says a lot.
“I’ll take over here and help Ryllis,” Aurelia offers and joins Ryllis now. “You others go and make sure my brother gets some. Or rather, brothers.”
“Are Felix and Dario already sexually active?” Annie asks innocently.
Aurelia furrows her brows. “Why did you just ask me that?”
“Just to tease you more,” Annie grins, and we all laugh. Ryllis giggles too.
Aurelia rolls her eyes and links her arm with Ryllis. “Let’s find something else you like,” she says while grabbing a piece of black lingerie for herself too.
“And who’s that for?” Annie chuckles.
“Well.” Aurelia grins. “You’ll never know.” She points an accusing finger at us. “And just so you know, if any of you tell my brother—any brother—I’m buying lingerie, I’ll go rogue.”
“You think they believe you are a virgin?” Celine asks, amused.
“Of course they do,” Aurelia deadpans. “Brothers are idiots sometimes. I’ve dated several times, and only Mom and Dad knew.”
“Yep,” Annie agrees with a smile. “Better keep them delusional.”
“Exactly.”
While we roam around the shop I walk by a bunch of BDSM items. “Here is a whip, Celine,” I call towards the beautiful blonde.
For a moment, it’s silent, then they all burst into laughter.

“Iseeyouwentwild.” I chuckle while I help Freya and Ryllis with their bags. Nox is driving the group back, only making a detour to drop off Annie and Ella. I guess Celine is traveling back with her guard, as Moon Blood is in the opposite direction.
Judging by the cheerful expressions of my mate and her surrogate sister, and by the way they chat excitedly, I assume my plan worked, and my friends convinced these two to enjoy their day and get what they want. Two pack warriors volunteer to carry the bags to my suite and Steve’s guest suite. Ryllis isn’t ready yet to part from Freya, so she and Steve decided to stay a couple of days.
Both girls have already changed into a new set of clothes, and Freya is now wearing dark blue jeans that show off her perfect ass. I can’t help but admire her in them. She is stunning.
Steve pops up out of nowhere, happily rushing towards Ryllis and twirling her in his arms. She seems more relaxed than usual and giggles a bit at his antics. My man, Steve, proves once more that he is capable of wooing a lady and compliments his mate on the new clothes she is wearing. Ryllis is adorable, and I’m so happy for both of them.
Most of the bags are for Freya and Ryllis. My sister only returned with a tiny one, it seems. “What did you get?” I ask her.
“A bra,” she says in a matter-of-fact tone. “Want to see it?”
I grimace. “No thanks!”
Aurelia exchanges a look with Ryllis and Freya and winks. They all giggle, and I decide I don’t want to know what my sister truly got. Some things are better not to know as a brother. Nope.
Do you think they got food for us?Max perks up.I swear I smelled something.
