Page 12 of Their Virgin Valentine

He looks at me in the rearview mirror. “That’s not for me to tell honey.”

I shake my head and stare out the window on the drive home. The not knowing is driving me a little crazy.

When I get home and go up to my room there are several wrapped gifts sitting on my bed and a pink card laying on top.

Grabbing the card, I slip my finger under the flap and open it. The front of the cards is red and, in the middle, it says Will you be my Valentine? in white letters, except that the word ‘my’ is scratched out and above it ‘our’ is written. Opening the card, I see that it’s blank except for the message one of the guys wrote.

Sophia,

We hope you had an amazing day with Tessa. Please put everything on. We’ll be seeing you very soon.

XOXO,

Javier and Ryan

Giddy with excitement, I open the biggest box first to find a beautiful designer dress that is flowy and black. There’s a slit up the side that goes to my upper thigh. It’s perfect for a night out on the town. The next box is a gold satin panty and bra set. In the third, I find a gorgeous satin clutch that matches my dress, and in the fourth are the most perfect pair of heels. I’ve saved the small gift bag for last. When I reach my hand in, I feel two small velvet boxes. I pull out a small red jewelry box and pop the lid. Inside are two diamond-encrusted ruby earrings.

“Gorgeous,” I murmur, fingering the fine gems.

Pulling out the other, I open the box and find a ruby necklace that matches the earrings.

I slip into the delicate lingerie first. Next, I pull on the shoes and then the dress. I finish the look with the jewelry the guys picked out. Standing in front of the mirror, I don’t know if I’ve ever felt this beautiful. I spray a few squirts of my favorite perfume and touch up my makeup. I’m ready for whatever this night has in store.

The doorbell rings and I rush downstairs more than ready to see the guys. Opening the door, I find Paul with a strained smile on his face and Jon giving him a serious look.

“It’s okay Jon,” I mumble. Jon backs a couple of feet away but stays standing close.

“You look absolutely gorgeous,” Paul says and hands me a bouquet of flowers that have nothing on the ones Ryan and Javier sent me earlier today.

Oh my god! How did I forget to cancel my date with him tonight? I can’t believe I did this. I take the flowers from him but say nothing as I try and think of what I’m supposed to do. I need to get him out of here before the guys get home.

“Care to invite me in while you put those in some water?” Paul asks.

I start shaking my head no just as Javier’s car pulls into the driveway, parking beside Ryan’s.

“Who is that?” Paul asks, staring at the car. Just then Javier and Ryan get out and start walking towards us.

“That’s… that’s ummm…” I stumble over my words. My heart is beating so fast in my chest as I watch them get closer looking ready to kill the guy standing in front of me. The guys are wearing black suits and I’m lost for words staring at them in all their sexy glory.

“We’re her men. Now leave.” Javier says walking up to me and giving me a kiss, before wrapping his arm around my waist.

“Men?” Paul asks looking between the three of us.

“In case you didn’t understand, Sophia is our woman. Your date is canceled. If you don’t leave, I’ll make you.” Ryan growls stepping closer to Paul.

“The little slut’s not worth this much trouble.” He says mouthing off.

Before Paul can turn to walk away, Ryan grabs his shirt and punches him in the face twice before releasing him.

Paul stumbles backward. “My father is going to have your ass for that.” He screams, holding his bloody nose.

“Your father is a piece of shit just like you are. Tell him to contact Sloan and Perez Security if he has any questions. You’ll find that he won’t.” Javier tells him.

Paul walks to his car and gets in without saying a word. We all watch silently as he pulls out of the driveway and speeds away.

“Jon, thank you, man. You’ve got the weekend off.” Ryan says, shaking Jon’s hand.

“Thank you, Jon,” I say, and he nods before shaking Javier’s hand and walking to his truck.
