(Blue dress that she wore)

As we entered the mall and he held my hand in his, I could feel the warmth of his hands in mine I was getting butterflies in my tummy, I looked at him and he was walking very intently like he knows where we have to go. A second later he stopped in front of elevator and my feet froze to their place. I couldn't bring myself to enter in it.
When he felt that I'm not moving he turned around and said, "What happened, let's go."

I looked around and saw his guards were behind us, I didn't want to feel embarrassed because of my claustrophobia which is why I got inside, but as soon as the doors of elevator closed my grip on his hand tighten, and I closed my eyes not before seeing the he pressed for 8th floor, and in no time my breath started to become laboured.

Suddenly, I felt his warm hand on my right cheek, I opened my eyes and looked at him when he said, "Hey, are you okay? Why didn't you tell me that you're scared of elevators."

And he stopped the it at 6th floor. He took my hand in his and led me outside and wrapped me in his arms, "It's okay, you're okay. Just take deep breaths" he whispered, and I did exactly same I took a deep breath and my senses were consumed by his masculine scent. A few moments later when I calmed down, I instantly separated myself from him and looked around.

"You can take the elevator it's just 2 floor I'll come with stairs." I said because I felt bad that he had to climb the stairs because of me.

"I you're thinking that I'm leaving you alone to climb the stairs then you're mistaken sweetheart." He whispered the last word near my ears and I got goosebumps all over my body.

We climbed the stairs and finally entered a really big showroom, as soon as we entered a man whom I assume was the manager came to us and said, "Welcome, Mr. Russo we've been waiting for you, the showroom is all empty as per your order." He said and lead towards the sitting area, and provide us with some refreshments.

"What can we do for you today, Sir." The manager asked.

"My wife, need some dresses." He said with so much authority and I think this is the first time that he had called me his wife in public, well this is the first time where we are in public together.

"Oh...umm okay. What kind of dress do you want ma'am." He asked

"Something appropriate for a charity event." Adrian replied.

"Okay. I'll be right back with some dresses." He said and left from there.

Around after 5 minutes the man came with five dresses. And laid them in front of us. And was so confused because I have never bought these kind of dresses.

I looked at Adrian, and whispered to him. "I don't know what to choose."

He looked at me and then pointed at a white dress. "Try this one." He said and then looked at the manager and said "I want two of the female staff with my wife to help her with anything she needs."

Two women from the staff lead me to the changing room and helped me change.

I wore the white dress, and it looked really pretty it fitted my body perfectly.

I walked out of the room and saw Adrian was doing something on his phone.

"Umm.... How do I look?" I said to gain his attention.
He looked up to see me and suddenly gestured the staff to leave from there. Then he walked towards me and said, "Are you trying to kill me with your beauty, Mrs. Russo?" He whispered in my ear and then kissed me on the cheek.

Before I could comprehend what had happened just now, he left me and announced "It's perfect. We're buying this one only."

Same lady from the staff lead me back to the changing room. I closed the door behind me, when I was done I noticed the price tag and my eyes almost bulged out of their sockets 10000 dollars!!!!...... I cannot buy a dress this expensive. I have to tell him maybe he had not seen the price of the dress.

I hurriedly got out of the changing room to where he was sitting and said in a low voice "We cannot buy that dress."

He looked at me with a confused expression and asked me "Why? Is there a problem with the dress?"

"No it's not like that. The dress is absolutely perfect but have seen the price tag? It says 10000 dollars." I told him

"What? Really?" He said with an amused expression.

"Yes! It's really expensive." I said, thinking that he will agree with me.

"So, do you really think that you husband is poor Mrs. Russo?" He said with a smirk on his face.

"No.... No I'm not saying that, I'm just saying that spending so much money on a dress is not worth it." I replied. I know he is very rich.

"We're buying it." He said to the manager, who nodded in return and took the dress with him to pack it.

"But..." Before I could say anything else he silenced me by putting his finger on my lips. His Touch caused a tingling sensation in my lower stomach. Then he leaned in and whispered in my ear, "Not a word darling, otherwise I know many ways to keep this pretty mouth of yours shut.". His voice send a jolt of electricity throughout my body.

After buying the dress we left for the mansion.

So that's it for this chapter I hope you all liked it. Tell me in the comments what you think.
Bye-byeeee 🫶
