she really did look amazing. red has always been the best colour against her pale complexion. not to mention it was an extremely sexy shade of red.

lena chuckles before turning to me and giving me a chaste kiss on the lips. "thanks, baby. now we need something for you"

she pushes my shoulders down so that i was seated on the stool next to the mirror and i obliged, assuming she was going to find my outfit like how i did for her. a smile seemed permanent on my face as i watched her run from one end of the room to the other, looking for something i could wear to the gala tonight.

god, i'm so in love with this woman.

before i knew it, she was back, panting for dear life. "are you okay?" i laughed, holding onto her arm in mere concern, but mostly amusement.

she nodded with a proud smile on her face before showing me what she put together. my eyes widened and i blinked as if in disbelief. she had brought me a blood red ribbed tube top and a black pencil skirt stopping right above my knees.

"where's the rest of it?" i asked half jokingly and her eyes widened.

"is it too much- i mean, too little?"

i shook my head and just laughed. i was fine with it, it was just a little surprising to see lena pick out such a revealing outfit when she was usually very possessive of me and was wary about other people's gaze.

without hesitation, i stood up and stripped to my underwear. i faced the mirror and i could very clearly see my girlfriend basically gawking in my direction.

"guess we're both going braless tonight," i said to myself as i unhooked my bra and tossed it aside. i turned around as soon as i had both the skirt and the top on, facing lena.

"thoughts?"

"yes"

i held in my laughter as she stares me down like a prey hunting their predator. she places her hands on my hips and turns me back to face the mirror, guiding us towards it.

"power couple!" i squealed excitedly, seeing how well our outfits matched and how hot we both looked together.

i held onto lena's hand as she helped me out of the car, immediately being blinded by flashes from cameras and having mics shoved into our faces. why being with a CEO seems like i was dating justin bieber, i never knew.

lena held onto my hands tightly as we were surrounded by her security who cleared the way and led us into the hall for the gala.

a sigh of relief escapes my lips the moment we entered the ballroom and the large doors closed behind us.

"i don't think i could ever get used to that"

"me neither," she laughs slightly. i smiled and took a lot around. yep, just as i thought. old white men in boring black and white suits.

my girlfriend was definitely the star of tonight's gala.

i felt her pull me towards an empty tall table, and soon enough a waiter came to offer us drinks and appetisers.

"would you like anything else ma'am?" the young boy asks me with a smile. i shook my head and politely declined. i then turned to see lena staring at me with a scowl on her face.

"what's wrong?" i furrowed my eyebrows in confusion, gently squeezing her hand in concern.

"should've brought you a jacket or something," she murmured as she pulls my hand so i was standing practically on her.

i looked up and around the ballroom, slowly making uncomfortable eye contact with men who were shamelessly staring at our direction. even those who had their wives or girlfriends as their plus ones with them.

i made sure they saw how i rolled my eyes before turning around to meet my girlfriend's face. even then i could feel so many eyes on me.

"i don't like them gawking at you like that," she grumbled softly as she lightly stomps her feet on the carpeted floors. i pursed my lips as an attempt to keep myself from laughing at the adorable antics of my girlfriend.

i took her hand that was on my waist and moved them down to my ass. confusion flashed through her face, probably wondering where i was getting at.

"let them gawk, baby. you're the only one that can touch me. that'll drive them crazy tonight," i lazily placed my arms on her shoulders, my thumb stroking the side of her neck mindlessly.

i watched as her lips curled up into a smile as she leaned into my touch. the ballroom was now booming with the voice of the emcee for the night through the speakers, but lena and i were in our own world.

lena leaned in to capture my lips in hers and i let her. i smiled against her lips when i felt her tongue push its way into my mouth. i almost jumped when her hand squeezed my butt but she pulled me so that our bodies were flushed against each others'.

she was putting on a show for those looking, for sure. and i didn't mind it one bit.

i felt lena pull away slightly at the sound of someone clearing their throat beside us. she turned to face them with her signature cold expression on her face.

i had to purse my lips together to prevent myself from laughing at how evidently the little man beside us was shaking under lena's hard stare.

"i-, uh, sorry ms luthor, but you're being called on stage to give a speech for being our biggest donor tonight," he fumbles over his words, avoiding eye contact with my girlfriend as much as possible.

she rolled her eyes at him before turning back to me, a small smirk playing on her face. she give me one more lingering kiss on my lips and then proceeds to walk elegantly up the stage. she had all eyes on her as she walks, and i couldn't be prouder of the power she holds. 

"i would like to start off by saying how important it is for us, people in the 1% to contribute what we can to these children in need. it's only right to do so, don't you think?" the crowd murmurs in agreement and lena smiles. 

"do you have children, derick?" she asks as the murmurs died down, staring straight at someone behind me. 

i furrowed my eyebrows and turned around, to see a man in his 40s in a grey and black suit with a woman, presumably his wife next to him. he looked just as confused as i was, maybe a little guilty looking. 

everyone's eyes were on him now, and he had no choice but to answer lena's question. "yes..?"

"ah... that's your wife?" my girlfriend asks again, pointing at the woman next to him who nodded carefully. 

"okay well, a tip. for you and all the other plus ones tonight, money is not enough to raise good children. make sure you teach them how to respect women, and that staring is rude or they'll end up like your husbands"

the crowd gets loud again with gasps of disbelief as well as snickers from others. 

"if i see anyone in this room staring at my girlfriend again tonight, especially you, derick," i covered my mouth with my hand, trying my best to keep myself from laughing. 

this is such a lena shit to pull.

"wives, i can be your divorce lawyer. you know where to find me, name's on the building. remember, raise your children right!"

the group of women next to our table started clapping and whistling, causing everyone else to follow through. with a smug smile, lena walks down the stage and back to our table. 

"you are unbelievable," i whisper shouted as she stands next to me. she rose and eyebrow and shrugged her shoulders. 

"it had to be said"
