Chapter Twenty

Angelina

Tonight, was the night. I was going to let Hunter into my house. The one sacred place that no one, besides Lisa and my parents had entered …but it’d been almost a year since Mom and Dad had been in here.

I stood in front of the full mirror and brushed my hand down the front of my gown. The light blue fabric felt like silk and clung to my body like a glove. The curve of the neck dipped lower than I’d expected, but it was nice. I had a nice body under all the clothing I usually covered it up with.

The lace over my shoulder and down my arms covered most of the scar on my shoulder, and it was long enough to cover my self-inflicted scars on my wrist. The cuff was thicker, so no evidence of the old wounds showed.

The light flare at the hips made it look like I had hips. Running helped me with my anxiety, but it didn’t leave much extra on the hips and boobs, that was for sure. I loved how the fabric flowed behind me but was a little shorter in front to show my rockin’ shoes. I’d been practicing in them for nearly a week so I wouldn’t look so uncoordinated.

They were nothing like my kick-ass boots, which was what I really wanted to wear, but we were only going to the main floor of the hotel, so I could leave them behind.

I couldn’t wait to see Hunter. As if on cue, a gentle rap on the door caught my attention. I grabbed the clutch from my dresser and hustled out of my bedroom. “Coming.” My heart raced as if I was doing sprints on the treadmill.

After planning the last three Christmas Eve Fundraiser Balls via email and watching it via the conference room video feeds, I was finally going to personally experience the excitement.

I stopped at the door and took a deep breath, then turned the knob. Hunter stood tall in a black tux. The neck of his white shirt didn’t quite cover up his neck tattoo, but that added to his intrigue. His biceps bulged, pulling the fabric tight, and much like his against-the-grain attitude, he didn’t wear a tie. Instead, he left the two buttons unbuttoned, giving a peek at his neck and more black ink.

I couldn’t wait to touch those and find out what other kinds of markings he had…and where else.

“Hey, beautiful,” he said. “Wow.”

I stepped through the doorway, the heat creeping up my neck. “Wow right back at you.”

“Will I mess something up if I give you a kiss? I can’t not give you a kiss when you look this sexy—beautiful.”

More heat flushed from my chest. Me sexy? As if.

With my high heels, there wasn’t so much distance between us. It was nice. He nudged my chin with his forefinger, and I closed my eyes, waiting for his yummy lips. When they didn’t come, I opened my eyes.

He was staring at me, wonder filling his gaze—and a little fear.
