'Are you ready yet?'
I glanced at the text while hurriedly collecting a few things.
Black lace bustier...
Black thong...
Black sheer stockings...
Black stilettos...
I took a deep breath, steeling my nerves, and replied quickly 'Almost' then ran down stairs with my things clutched to my heaving chest. God I was so nervous...
As I reached the bottom of the stairs I glanced up and dropped a shoe. There he was. Just sitting so calmly in my living room as if this wasn't out of the ordinary.
He looked so in control and collected as he idly turned his phone over and over in his hands. He looked up at me, almost amused by my nervousness, then looked back down at his phone.
"Your sister let me in." he said plainly "Now, are you ready?"
Swallowing hard and refusing to reply I shakily picked up my shoe and dumped my stuff into my bag. I couldn't even look at him in his teal button down shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and his grey suit pants that fit so perfectly he almost didn't need the black leather belt around his hips.
"I asked you a question. Were you going to answer it?" His voice had a quiet yet demanding quality to it that made my knees weak. How could I even think about speaking? My mouth was dry and I felt almost faint.
"I... I just need to brush my teeth." I replied breathily, trying to regain some sense of composer. This was so unlike me. Usually I'm the picture of confidence. How could he have this effect on me without even touching me...
"Do it quickly. I'm tired of waiting." He said looking directly at me this time. I was frozen in place. The corner of his mouth tweaked up in a sly smile as he rose slowly from the chair and walked toward me. My breath caught in my throat and I looked away as he stood in front of me. I tried to walk around him but he gently grabbed my arm and turned me back to face him. I looked into his eyes, my body on fire and my mind screaming to run, but I stayed.
