“No, no, no. Don’t be like that. It’s V-day feisty girl. You can’t lump me in with this asshole. I actually want to enjoy my well planned out night with you.” Noah gives me the biggest puppy dog eyes and I can’t even be mad at him but Matteo? Oh, he’s in for some serious blue balls.
Cohen looks between all of us, laughs, and then walks me to the stairs.
“Thank god we had our time before this crazy anti-orgasm war started, huh?” He blows me a kiss and sends me on my way.
Chapter Twenty
Alessandra
Damn them. This dress is stunning. It’s so hard to be mad at them when they do sweet things like this. It’s a black backless halter dress that fits snug against my upper body and then flares out and falls in beautiful waves until it ends mid-thigh. The heels paired with the dress are five inch crisscross pleated, close backed sandals in red with a beautiful black bow sitting on the back just above my heel. I let my hair fall in big barrel curls and kept my usual classic cat eye and red lip look. I don’t know where we are going or what we’ll be doing but I do know that we’ll all look phenomenal while doing it.
Just before I walk out the door, I notice more black roses. Not even bothering to read the note, I trash them. I really need to remember to tell the guys to stop buying them because they creep me the fuck out. It’s so unlike them to send shit like that.
As I walk down the stairs to meet my guys, I look at the three of them and remind myself of how lucky I truly am. Yes, I’m still cranky that ‘Teo is an overconfident douche canoe but also, he got shot because of me so... Yeah, I can probably chill a little. He’s just not gonna be allowed to touch me intimately tonight. Fair, right?
“So, is anyone going to enlighten me on this evening’s festivities? If you guys got me all dressed up just to take me out for pizza.. Well, actually I’d still love it.” I smile at them.
“No need to worry about all of that feisty girl. We planned a night of pure romance for our love.” Noah says smiling his breathtaking smile, the one that lights me up from the inside.
“C’mon, let’s get you out to the car.” Noah says, moving to guide me outside.
“Oh! Wait! Before I forget, I got you guys each something.” I yell and run over to the table in the foyer. I grab the three boxes and hand them to the guys.
“They aren’t anything too special but it felt right getting them.” I say shyly.
Each of them pull the boxes open to reveal the black watches I had specially made for them.
There will never bea time my heart can’t find yours ?.
With looks of pure adoration,they each thank me and kiss me deeply.
“Yeah, um, so I had them made and then had this black heart necklace made of the same metal so that we can always have a piece of each other with us. I hope it’s not too cheesy.” I mumble, embarrassed.
“They are perfect. We’ll always be with you this way.” Cohen says, immediately putting it on.
The other two guys put theirs on as well before Noah moves back toward me.
“I’ve heard of distance bracelets for couples before. This is better. That heart necklace is perfect for you too. I love it.” He says as he continues to guide me outside.
He leads me out to a blacked out limo, followed by the guys. The driver is already holding the door open so we slip right inside.
Matteo opens a bottle of champagne and pours me a glass, while Cohen pulls a plate of chocolate covered strawberries out of a mini fridge.
“We opted for a car and driver so you could appreciate the scenic drive to our destination. Well, that and because we wanted to dedicate all of our time and attention to you. Thank you again for the gift, baby.” Matteo says softly in that low growl of his.
I swear, even just his voice is sexual. He might not be wrong in that I’ll cave sooner rather than later if it only takes his voice to make me wet.
“You look exquisite, my queen.” He says as he leans in close and pulls me into his lap, his head getting buried in my neck, placing delicate kisses along my neck and behind my ear. He whispers so only I can hear.
“I’m sorry I was such a jackass earlier. I should know better than to be a cocksure jerk around you, when it usually makes you fight me harder. If you don’t mind me being totally honest though, it’s kind of a turn on to piss you off.” I try to push off of him, but he holds me tight as I feign annoyance.
“I can’t believe you actuallytryto piss me off on purpose. That’s so messed up.” I level him with a faux glare, which he sees right through.
“I can’t help it if you’re extra hot when you’re all worked up. Isn’t that what caught Noah’s attention from the get go? I don’t see you mad at him over it.”
“Oh, please! Like I could get mad at that lovable goofball.”
“Lovable, eh?” Noah says, wiggling his eyebrows at me jokingly.
