Briar
Ican’t believe Lane was just watching the window and then me. I hope that he will be caught soon as it’s nerve wracking that he’s still out there.
I take off my clothes and fold them on the bench in the closet and then slip on my dress. He hasn’t seen it yet, even though he’s begged me to see it. I want it to be a surprise. I braid my hair to the side and apply some mascara and lip gloss, tossing them in the little clutch I got to go with it. I take one more look as I slip on my heels and I have to agree with the girls, it’s perfect.
I stand in the doorway to the closet and wait for him to see me. His face says it all when he turns around.
Kingston
I hear her step out of the closet and I turn to her and my mouth drops open. Holy fuck, is she ravishing. The dress hugs her body, her curves, in all the right places. It’s bright red, with straps, low back and a slit up the side. I should say the slit is sky high. it makes my dick stand at attention, but not what I need right now. The back is so low that other men will have their tongues wagging. I do mean it though, she’s stunning in this dress. The earrings and necklace we got her for Christmas will compliment the look well.
“You look amazing,” I state and she blushes.
“You mean it?” There is her low self esteem coming out.
“I do.”
“Well, I mean, you were at a loss for words there for a minute,” she teases, “and I don’t know about other men and tongues wagging.
“I was because I was stunned into silence,” I admit, “and didn’t realize I said that out loud.” She chuckles, as she grabs her phone.
“Are the others ready?” she asks.
“They should be,” I nod. Thorn texted me when the others got back and were getting ready so they should be waiting on us.
I go to tell her to go and wait in the living room when the penthouse phone rings.
“Yes?”
“Kingston, we didn’t find Lane, but we are still looking,” my security officer says.
“Thanks, keep me posted,” I go to hang up but he stops me.
“There is a girl down here in the lobby asking for Caleb,” he mentions.
“He’s one of mine, send her up,” I say and hang up.
“There’s a girl?” she asks.
“Caleb has a girl coming up,” I shrug.
We hear the knock on the door and Briar goes to answer it. She opens it up to a skinny girl, taller than Briar with shoulder length black hair, dark amber eyes in a beautiful black dress.
“Hi,” the girl says.
“Hi,” Briar lets her in.
“I’m Piper. Caleb asked me to be his date,” she says shyly.
“He did? Please come sit in the living room,” Briar pulls Piper to the couch and has her sit.
As they start to talk, I call for Caleb, “Caleb Braxton, get your ass out here.”
I know everyone heard me since I shouted that, and since I hardly shout, he probably thinks he’s in trouble.
My point is proven when he cautiously steps out of his room, “Yeah?”
“Care to tell me anything?” I cross my arms over my chest. Caleb is the same size as me, I’m a little taller but I can be a scary asshole when I want to be. And he doesn’t even see Piper as he walks closer to me which I would laugh at but I’m trying to be scary right now.
