There’s something incredibly taking about a woman when she’s dressed up and you can tell she feels good about herself. In truth, I can’t say that she looks more beautiful than ever because Eve always looks stunning. Even when she’s soaked through in one of her dinosaur or cat-eared hoodies. However, tonight she’s breathtaking, in every form of the word.

“The dress looks good on you,” I tell her, putting out the cigarette I was smoking before I meet her at the balcony threshold. “It looks really fucking good.”

Too good to make it outside the front door without taking advantage of the way the black, heart-shaped bodice strains over her tits, emphasising her tucked waist.

A bashful smile greets me when my eyes rove up to her face. “I draw the line at cannibalism,” she chuckles, smoothing her hands over the top of the full tulle skirt before she brushes her loosely wavy hair over her shoulders.

Grasping one of her hands, I spin her on the spot. Once the whole way round, and a second time so that her back is to me and I can whisper into her ear. “Sweet darling, I’m going to eat your cunt until you’ve died at least a few deaths when we’re back later.”

A nervous, sputtering laugh bubbles from her. When she tries to turn around and face me, I hold her still. Taking a quiet moment, I inhale her sweet scent deep into my lungs as she leans back into me.

“Do you like dancing, Eve?”

She shakes her head. “Not really.” The reply surprises me. With her love of music, I thought dancing would be her thing too. Sounds silly now that I think about it, but it made sense before.

“Neither do I,” I tell her, grasping her left hand with my right one in front of her waist and spinning her again to face me. Swaying her from side to side, I give her a breakdown of tonight. “The car will stop, and Andrew will be waiting to take you inside the hotel through the staff entrance at the back. The offer is still there for you to come with me.”

“I’m okay. Thank you,” she whispers, holding tighter to my arm with her other hand. The heat of her touch seeps through the cotton of my shirt and my skin as I continue swaying us in slow circles around the balcony overlooking the garden and the river.

“Don’t thank me. I’ll be making it worth my while later.”

“Can I ask you something?” she ventures, looking up at me. Her teeth gnaw at her deep-red-painted lips. “Do you get anxious before these events?”

“No.”

“Not even a bit nervous?” The grimace of discomfort on her face makes my chest tighten. “Not even just a teeny tiny bit?”

“No, I get grumpy. I don’t like these farcical things, but as you like to say about me and Hush, it’s a means to an end.”

“You’re always grumpy, Your Grace,” she laughs softly. After a quiet second, she adds, “I was wrong about that…or you, mainly.
