“But I thought…”
He sits on the edge of the bed and grins atme. “What? You thought all I got you were some concert tickets, anecklace, and a gift card?” He walks into the bathroom, chuckling.“Open them.”
I look around for my backpack of clothes Ikeep here, but it’s nowhere in sight.
“Where are my clothes?”
“Top drawer,” he says around histoothbrush.
I walk over to the chest of drawers in a dazeand find all my things in the top drawer.He gave me a drawer.Aaah! How huge is that?That cut seems so much closer now. Ican see it – Property of Gage...no, Property of Reaper. I getdressed with a huge grin and then start opening my gifts. I rip thewrapping from the biggest box. This time, I actually scream. He gotme an artist’s table! Or I should say Creative Center…that’s whatit says on the box.
“You like it?”
“I love it!”
I leap into his arms and wrap my legs aroundhis waist. He laughs and spins me around. I kiss him hard on thelips and squeeze him tightly. His gifts have been so thoughtful. Ijust don’t know what to say.
“Thank you. You’re amazeballs.”
“Yeah. My ballsareprettyamazing.”
He laughs out loud and I smack him on thechest. He’s lucky I like him. He jerks his head in the direction ofthe remaining boxes.
“Open the rest.”
Those boxes contain a stool, a sketching kit,and a box set of one hundred and twenty colored pencils.
“This is…amazing. Thank you.”
“I’m glad you like them, babe.” He kisses mesoftly and walks back to the bathroom. “I’m gonna take ashower.”
I throw on one of his hoodies over my clothesand head out to look for Toni. I know she went off with Allah lastnight, but I have no idea what happened to her.Some friend Iam.I find her sitting with Chrissy at the bar havingbreakfast.
“Well…look who’s finally up,” Toni greetsme.
“Good morning, you two.”
“You look…relaxed.” Chrissy waggles her browsat me and nudges Toni. They both giggle.
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“You look like you got sorted out lastnight,” Toni says.
I look around then lean in toward them.“Properlysorted out.”
They laugh and move closer.
“Tell useverything,” Toni begs.
I take a deep breath, remembering last night.His scent, his touch…the spanking, the mind blowing orgasm. Ishiver at the memory.
“It was amazing. I never knew I could come sohard. And he just used his fingers.”
“Shit. The look on your face makes me want toget laid.”
“What happened with you and Allah?”
“Nutten. Nobody getting this good-good on thefirst night.”
