Chapter Fourteen

“I can’t go in there!”

Seriously? From the look of horror, tinged with just a smidgeon of fear, it appeared Kaleb had unwittingly discovered Shaw’s achilles heel. “It’ll be fine.”

“What if someone I know sees me?” Hissed Shaw, locked in place, staring into the massive display window.

“How many of your Valkyrie buddies shop on Fifth Avenue?”

“None.” Shaw was emphatic.

“Exactly, so I think your reputation will be safe. Come on. It’s just a dress shop.”

“A wedding dress emporium, according to the sign.” Shaw pointed upwards at the golden gilt signage that elegantly boasted that this store was the one and only; Vivi Darvyn Emporium. The store frontage vast, with two enormous picture windows on either side of large double doors manned by a security guard dressed up as a ye olde english coachman.

Staring at the enormous window she was currently frozen in front of. Shaw’s attention was rivetted upon the one and only dress featured there, displayed on a headless dummy. It should have looked insignificant, considering all the empty wasted space around it. But the gold leaf back drop, and twinkling swaying lights of a thousand hanging fairy lights lovingly spot lit the dress. Giving the impression it was made of nothing but liquid sparkles.

Tightly fitted at the bodice, the dress appeared to be both backless and almost frontless, dipping daringly low in all directions before the material cascaded dramatically to the floor, in what seemed almost a careless after thought. Somehow the scene managed to create the illusion that the headless figure was standing in a puddle of sparkling liquid gold and diamonds.

You couldn’t move in that dress. Shit, you probably couldn’t breathe in that dress. Yet, every female and more than a few men slowed as they walked by, giving the dress a deep, longing, covetous look. And this was New York! New Yorkers didn’t slow down for anyone or anything.

“We can’t stay here, we’re blocking the sidewalk.” Also earning a truckload of filthy looks in the bargain, Kaleb noted.

“I don’t care.”

“I believe I’ve just discovered Valkyrie kryptonite. Hey, I could rebrand boxes of rose petals and sell them to all your enemies. Think of the carnage.”

Freyja save her, the Demon thought he was so cute and funny. Scowling at Kaleb at least distracted Shaw from the display window. Okay. Fine. She could do this. But first, a few clothing adjustments. Morphing her black loose camo pants into silk tapered trousers. Swapping out the shitkickers for gladiator black half boots with a four inch heel. Keeping the sleeveless vest she was wearing but changing the leather to a cobweb wet silk look. Unfortunately, she couldn’t do anything about her hair, several curls having escaped from the knot she’d secured on top of her head only an hour ago.

“Damn. I love how you do that.” Kaleb grinned appreciatively.

“I’m good to go. The question is, how are we going to get you past the doorman?” Shaw eyed the disreputable tight blue jeans Kaleb was wearing. There was a fist sized hole high on his left thigh, probably the result of a large hacking weapon.
