Fractured Lies (MAC Security 1)

She didn’t answer me just dragged me out of the warehouse and towards her house.

The next four hours were full of primping and priming, Kitty did my makeup and curled my hair into soft waves. I just had to sit there while she told me how great this was going to be while my mind wandered in all kinds of directions.

Finally, after literally hours she handed me a nude colored dress, dark purple pumps and told me to get changed. I opened my mouth to tell her that I couldn’t wear something like this but she shook her head and shoved me into the bathroom.

I hardly recognized the person staring back at me in the mirror, she had perfect shiny hair and flawless skin. How Kitty had managed to make me look like this I had no idea.

The dress clung to my waist, a sweetheart neckline covered with lace up to my neck made me feel not so naked. I moved from side to side in the mirror and was about to open the door and tell Kitty that there was no way that I was wearing this dress when the door knocked.

I froze.

“Ty’s here!” Kitty shouted through the bathroom door.

Butterflies swarmed my stomach, my hands started to shake and I was sure that I’d throw up any second now.

I could hear them talking, but couldn’t make out what they were saying. Should I try to listen to what they were saying or just go out there?

I slipped my feet into the pumps and reached out for the door handle, my hand shaking I took a deep breath and pulled the door open.

My breath stilled, Ty was in a pair of slacks and a shirt and tie. He looked so different without his beanie hat, his hair slicked back and his stubble trimmed.

“Hey,” I cleared my throat, frozen to the spot.

“Wow,” he said with wide eyes.

“Err…” I looked to Kitty silently asking her what to do waving me forward I took a wobbly step not used to the height of the shoes.

Ty’s eyes roamed my whole body, I could almost feel his touch. I watched as he blew out an audible breath, his eyes clashing with mine, I knew then without a doubt that I had affected him.

“Boss.” Kitty whispered out the side of her mouth.

“You look…beautiful,” he said, his voice deep.

“Thank you.” Kitty pointed to Ty, I frowned and tried to work out was she was mouthing.

“You ready?” Ty asked.

“Yeah” I took another wobbly step, got my balance and met him at the door.

I hated wearing anything but my chucks or boots, why I had to wear these things I didn’t know.

I followed Ty outside and to the car parked out front, I’d seen this car parked by the warehouse but nobody ever used it.

“Nice car,” I smiled. I hadn’t got a clue what kind of car it was but I knew that it was the sporty kind.

“Thanks, I figured we’d use this one tonight.” He grinned and opened the door. For a second I was confused, he was driving right? Then I realized that he had opened the door for me.

The inside smelt of a mixture of leather and Ty, I couldn’t get enough of that smell. Ty started the car, the gravel kicking up as he spun round and pressed the button to open the gates.

“Was Eli alright?” I asked when we were on the main road.

“Yeah, he’s getting pizza with Luke and Evan.”

“Okay,” when he turned the radio on I relaxed a little.

My eyes kept moving to him of their own accord, the way his shirt was rolled up to his elbows, his tattoos dancing each time he moved his hands on the wheel. I remembered the way they felt on my body when he held me last night. How his thumb stroked my stomach.

Closing my eyes I shivered at the memory.
