Page 64 of Injustice and Absolution

“What are you doing?” I ask Drew as he rifles through the uniforms on the shelf again.

“We’ll be taking several uniforms home with us this evening.” He pierces me with a devious smile. “Whether or not you decide to work here, tonight isn’t the last night I’m going to demand you put this uniform on for me.”

I giggle at his words and realize I’m excited to put it on again when we get home.

“Let’s get back out there before these girls begin to think I’m doing scandalous things to you in here.”

Drew winks at me with the promise of actual, deliciously obscene behavior as soon as we get home, and I find myself hoping we’re headed there now.

Opening the door, we’re hit with more laughter before Josie speaks up.

“I don’t even want to know what you did to her in there to convince her to join the team, but I’m glad it worked.”

Josie eyes the uniforms in Drew’s hand with a smile.

“Would you cut it out?” Drew laughs her off. “I just had her try it on so she can see what it looks like.”

“Who’s this?” A petite redhead with bright green eyes acknowledges my presence before awaiting Drew’s answer. Her tone and stance give nothing away regarding her thoughts toward me, but I suddenly get nervous.

Is she angry I’m here?

Does she think I’m invading their space?

Does she view me as the outsider I am?

If Idocome to work here, would I be welcomed?

“Ladies, this is Delilah. My girlfriend.” He beams at me proudly. “This is Cherish, Jade, and Haven.”

Cherish is the girl who inquired about me, and as soon as Drew finishes his introduction, she calms my fears about meeting her immediately.

“Hiya!” she squeals. “Nice to meet you.”

“You’re going to be working here?” Haven pipes up next but doesn’t let me answer her. “Good, we need some new meat.”

She turns back to her vanity and begins to style her long blond hair into an intricate braid I’d never be able to do myself.

“She’ll do,” Jade, a striking girl with caramel skin and a full head of gorgeous black curls, stands and offers me her hand.

I swallow uncomfortably as her bare breasts sway with the movement of her body. Having rushed through the room so quickly, I didn’t realize she was topless before now.

After our handshake, she stands there with her arms folded ready to continue the conversation as though this is completely normal for her.

Though for her and these other girls, I suppose itisnormal.

“Well, she hasn’t said yes...Yet. But I’m trying to wear her down.” Drew pulls my attention back. He’s standing next to me, casually, completely unbothered by a pair of tits in his face.

Bearing witness, it’s not until this moment that I understand the enormity of Drew’s passion and love for me. Here are three—four counting Josie—unquestionably beautiful women standing in front of us, partially nude or with barely a stitch of clothing on their bodies, and Drew looks right through them.

He only has eyes for me.

He said it when I first found out about Spotlight. I believed him then, but believing and seeing are two totally different things.

And if there was any doubt in my mind before tonight, this moment eviscerates it.

There wasn’t one ounce of need or lust in his eyes until he turned away from Jade and back to me. Then it flared in his cobalt stare like it always does when he sees me.

“Hungry?”
