Chapter 5

   I couldn’t find anything suitable to wear tonight. Where was he even taking me? All he said was that he wanted to take me out for dinner. But that could mean anything! Ugh. Sometimes I hated being a woman. We constantly had to worry about what we were wearing, or how our hair and makeup looked. It was really just one big hassle, and I didn’t have the time for it.

   I sighed and searched through my closet, even pulling out the box of clothes that I swore I would never wear again. Desperate times called for desperate measures. I opened the box and held my breath, staring at the clothes that Chad forced me to ‘throw away’. I had so many cute dresses in here that I really loved, but they were too short or showy, according my my ass of an ex. Chad used to call me a whore when I wore them... Don’t think that way, Ember. He’s a jackass who didn’t know a good woman when he had her!

   I continued to sift through the dresses and found my absolute favorite. It was a red dress that barely came down past the curve of my ass, with a black belt that cinched around the waist. It was strapless and the back of it came down pretty far. I thought about it for a moment and sighed. Could I really where this tonight? I mean, yeah, I would fit into it. It’s just that... Would Caine think I was some kind of whore? I didn’t want him to think I was easy, even though with him I possibly could be...

   Agh! What was I thinking? I wasn’t easy! I let out a heavy breath and stood, making my way around the sea of dresses that I just left on the floor. Here goes nothing...

   I quickly grabbed a matching black bra and panty set, putting those on before slipping the dress on. I looked into the mirror, surprised to find that it did actually still look pretty good on my body. Sure, my breasts seemed a little larger than they had been, but it filled out the dress a little more. I smiled to myself and ran back over to my closet, looking for my black fuck-me heels I had somewhere. Where did they go...? I looked up and saw them on the top shelf of my closet.

   “Yes!” I said excitedly, feeling a little more confident about tonight. I grabbed the heels and practically skipped back to my bed, sitting on the end of it so that I could put the shoes on without tumbling over and breaking my neck. The only thing I needed now was jewelry.....

   I opened my jewelry box before looking at the clock. “Oh shit!” I said, hurrying when I saw that it was 6:55. I ended up putting in small diamond earrings, a dainty silver bracelet, and a black lace choker with a diamond pendant. I checked myself in the mirror one last time before I heard a knock on my front door.

   I took a deep breath and grabbed my purse, smiling at myself in the mirror. “Here goes nothing...” I said to myself again, trying to calm my nerves.

   I walk into my living room and open my front door. Caine was standing outside, leaning up against the wall. I gasped when I l saw that he was dressed in tight black jeans and a white button up with the sleeves rolled up and the top two buttons undone, looking extremely sexy and almost edible. I almost had to check to make sure that some drool didn’t escape from my mouth. I blushed and removed my eyes from his body.

   “Wow, Ember. You look...” He looked at me as if he was going to say something sweet, and then his trademark smirk plastered itself on his face. “Definitely fuckable.” My lips turned up into a smile at his words, feeling surprisingly flattered. He grabbed my arm lightly and linked it through his. I looked up at him to see that he was smiling down at me.
