My brothers are laughing their asses off as I hold the shirt against my chest while she ruffles through the bags.
“Where is—here!” she pulls out a ridiculous looking huge yellow fedora and places it on my head as my brothers lose it.
“You’re joking.”
Her smile fades. “It’s in style! You’re going to a fashion show!”
“It’s not going to happen.”
I toss the shirt to Nolan. “Use that as a napkin.”
He laughs as he looks at the price. “Two grand? For this? Maybe we should get into fashion.”
Brooke snatches the shirt back and stuffs it into the bag. “I was worried you’d be this way. So, I got you a backup.”
“That’s more like it,” I say with a breath of relief when she pulls out a gorgeous navy tuxedo with a classic white fitted shirt and a matching dark blue tie.
“I vote for the hat,” Eli says with his hand in the air. “You’ll look like a gay Indiana Jones.”
“I second that,” Luke says with a laugh. “Chicks love the man in the yellow hat from Curious George. Everyone knows that.”
“I’ll take this one,” I say as I take the navy tuxedo from Brooke. I doubt that Victoria is the type of woman to go for a man in a crazy outfit like the first one. But I bet she’ll like this classic look.
Brooke turns away as I try it on.
“Perfect,” she says when it’s on and I’m fixing the tie.
“Are you sure you don’t want to wear this hat?” Nolan asks as he takes it. “Three grand?! What the fuck, Brooke?!”
Brooke frowns as she snatches it back from him. “You guys wouldn’t know fashion if it bit you in the ass.”
“I’d rather be bitten in the ass than wear that thing,” Nolan says with a shake of his head.
“What do you guys think?” I ask as I open my arms and do a spin.
For once, they don’t have a smart ass answer. I must look pretty good.
“You look incredible,” Brooke says. “Ready to go?”
“You guys aren’t staying for Chinese?” Luke asks.
“Haven’t you been listening?” Brooke says as she wraps her arm around mine. “NYC’s hottest fashion show tonight. We’re out of here.”
I take a deep breath and leave to get the girl of my dreams.
I’m not sure if I have the right place when I arrive at Victoria’s door. It’s a nice building, but you would have no idea that she inherited a fortune from her father by the look of it.
I catch myself checking out her neighbors’ doors, wondering if I can buy every single condo on this floor. If I had my way, she’d be locked up in a secure compound where only I can get to her. These doors are a little too flimsy for my tastes and I don’t like so many people around something so precious.
Still, I like that she has simple non-extravagant tastes. I’m like that too.
Making money is a game to me. It’s a challenge. It’s fun. I see it as a sport I’m competing in that I want to be the best at. I don’t have much need for material things. I’d be happy living in a small house if it was full of people I loved. A pregnant Victoria springs to mind.
I shake my head of the alluring fantasy and take a deep breath before I knock.
My cock is already stirring just from hearing her move on the other side of the door. I can feel it thickening as blood rushes in. I lean closer to the door, my whole body aching to see her, to have her, to be in her angelic presence once again.
When she opens the door, I’m not ready for it. The sight of her takes my breath away. It stuns me like it always does. All I can do is stare in awe.
She’s stunning. She’s exquisite. She’s a rare elegant beauty.
And by the end of the night, she’ll be all mine.
Victoria’s cheeks turn red as she smiles shyly at me. The air thickens with a sexual fire as I look her up and down.
She’s wearing a long-sleeved gold sequined dress that shines with every move she makes, but it’s still got nothing on her. Victoria’s innocence radiates from within, shining out onto anyone lucky enough to be in her presence.
Her long strawberry blonde hair is loose around her shoulders, framing her gorgeous face. Lush dark eyelashes surround her big doe-like eyes as she looks at me as if she hopes I like what I see. I wish I could tell her that I’ve never seen anything so beautiful, but my brain is malfunctioning at the moment and I can’t seem to work it.
My heart starts thumping in my chest when I look at her sexy mouth and it takes some effort to yank my eyes away.
This girl is unbelievable. Her full luscious cleavage is on display with a plunging neckline surrounded by shimmering gold. Wars have been fought over girls like her. Friendships have been shattered. Lives have been lost.
