Michael and I spent the next few days together. We went to the movies, out to dinner, and sometimes we just curled up on my couch together to watch television. He was slowly starting to creep his way into my heart. Who would've ever thought getting caught speeding could turn into such a good thing?
Tonight we were going to some sort of charity benefit that the other officers were attending. I was determined to make him look good. It made me feel special that he invited me. Any man that brought a woman around his friends and the people he worked with wanted to stick around. I wanted him to stick around, more than I wanted to admit.
I went through the long process of getting ready. I tried on at least five different dresses before I chose the right one. I decided to wear a revealing blue dress. It was provocative, but not slutty. It was a halter top that left my entire back bare. It dipped low in front to show off my rack. The skirt of it hit a few inches above my knee, and the fabric was a rich silk that looked like it would flow right through my fingers. I left my hair down and curled it into loose ringlets. My makeup highlighted my sapphire blue eyes. The heels I wore were three and a half inches high and gold to match my purse. The heels begged to be worn during some naughty fucking.
By the times I was ready, I had half an hour to spare. I spent it pacing my living room and trying not to smudge my makeup. I was glad when Michael knocked on my door fifteen minutes early. When I opened the door, what I found was one sexy cop. He was in a tuxedo, and oh did he make it look so good. He filled out the pants especially well. It made me salivate.
"God Rileigh, you're so fucking beautiful," he said, interrupting my train of thought.
I blushed at the compliment. There was no way I was going to be the ugly girlfriend tonight. Well, I wasn't quite sure I was his girlfriend yet, but it felt like it. We spent all of our free time together.
"Why thank you Officer, you don't look too bad yourself."
I looked him over and gave my approval. I couldn't wait to peel that tux off of his sexy body later. He was a tasty piece of eye candy. There was no doubt in my mind that some other woman there would try to hit on him, but I would still mark my territory. This sexy cop was mine.
We left arm in arm. It was about an hour long drive to the hotel where to charity ball was being held. The hotel itself was gorgeous. It looked like a modern twist on the Victorian era. I looked over at Michael and smiled. He looked even better than the hotel.
All of the signs posted around said that the ball was to raise money for a new wing of the hospital. The new wing was going to be dedicated solely to oncology and a Hospice unit for the cancer patients. With cancer becoming a larger concern each year, the new addition was overdue. My mother had passed away from cancer, so I could definitely sympathize with the cause.
The Grand Ballroom was even more stunning than the lobby. A crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling. The pillars in the room were a pink marble and the walls were covered in vivid murals. It looked like it would fit perfectly in Greek mythology, as if Aphrodite and Dionysus would just come strolling in at any moment.
Police officers, hospital staff and other members of the community filled the room. Everyone was exquisitely dressed. Diamonds flickered from all over the room. My sapphires were a relief from the sparkling white.
One of the faces I recognized was Officer Calhoun's. He smiled and walked over to us.
"It's nice to see you again Miss Daniels. You look much better now that you're all healed up," he said.
"Thank you Officer Calhoun." I gave him a dazzling smile.
"Call me Ed," he insisted. He turned to Michael.
"It's nice to see you with a nice young lady Mike. It's about time."
The comment made Michael look a little shy, but he was still grinning.
