“I can’t believe you did that.”

“Oh, you didn’t know? I’m a bad, bad girl,”she says with a smirk.

“You’re gonna pay for that later.”

“I’m counting on it.”

Perfect. She’s fucking perfect.Iremove the small, gift-wrapped box from the inner pocket of my cutand place it on the table before her.

“How many more of these you got?”

“Open it.”

She sighs and rips the paper from the blue,velvet box. After a nervous glance my way, she flips the lid. Shegasps, her eyes widening in surprise.

“Gage…they’re beautiful!”

She trails her fingers across the five pairsof diamond studs. One for each of her piercings, each pair adifferent size.

“Wear one tonight. Please.”

She nods and wraps her arms around me as shepresses her lips to mine. I hold her against me, loving the way herbody feels.

“Tonight…I want you to fuck me wearingnothing but these earrings and my necklace.”

My erection springs back to life.Fuck.“That, I can definitely do.”

Her eyes sparkle with mischief and she slidesa finger lightly down my neck.

“You know, I’ve been thinking of getting mynipple pierced…or maybe my clit.”

My dick jumps, thinking about playing withthose rings with my tongue. Then a thought occurs to me. “And whothe fuck’s going to do that?”

“Um…places that do piercings. Duh.”

“You let some fucker even look at your titsor your pussy, and he’s dead.”

She throws her head back laughing then gentlypats my chest.

“Calm down, Reaper. I was kidding.”

“I wasn’t.”

If she thinks I’m going to let some randommotherfucker look at her, let alone touch her, she’s insane. I’drather learn to do that shit myself.

We finish our breakfast and I leave Judy abig tip for snapping at her and not remembering her name. She wroteher number on the receipt, but I toss it once we’re outside. Iforget about her the minute Raven climbs on the back of my bike andslides her arms around me. I take her to the salon to have her hairand nails done while I take care of some business.

“Ellen’s gonna pick you up. She’ll take careof your outfit issues.”

“Okay. Where will you be?”

“I have some stuff to take care of, and Ihave to pick up your gift.”

“There’s more? You’ve already given me somuch.”

“Not enough.”

“No. It is. You’ve put so much thought intoit. Each one shows you’ve been paying attention. I thought you weregoing to give me lingerie or something.”
