“At least I’m standing beside someone who can protect me,” I whispered.

After zipping the dress up and smoothing it over my tits, I gazed at myself in the mirror. The dress didn’t look too bad on me—in fact, it actually looked pretty good. The slit up the leg was a bit high. It came all the way to my hip bone, which meant the only suitable kind of underwear I’d be able to wear with this damn thing was a fucking thong.

Which is probably exactly what he wants.

The only thing that kept driving me forward was the fact that he trusted me. The only thing that kept me focused on the task at hand was the fact that, at the very least, I didn’t feel my life was in danger whenever Teo was with me. I wasn't sure what this party would bring, or what it was for, or even if that asshole Lionel or whatever the fuck his name was would be there, but I knew one thing for certain:

By the end of the evening, Teo would trust me even further. Possibly, even enough to let me borrow his cars so I could get into town.

Just play the game a little while longer. Stay focused.

And once I was trusted enough to go into town, I’d have no issues booking myself a plane flight out of here. I simply had to stay the course.

Even if it meant being Teo’s little dress-up doll.
