Chapter 138
Blair POV
"Where is it, where is it" she murmured, pushing things to one side, her eyes narrowed as she bit her lip, until she pulled out a hanger with a flourish, her eyes lighting in triumph. My jaw hit the ground. She had to be kidding. There was no way she expected me to wear that, but she was nodding her head and smirking at me.
"This will be perfect," she said cheerfully "Just wait till he sees you in this. He'll lose his mind" she crowed.
"I can't just walk down the hallways and stairs wearing that" I hissed, gesturing at the garment.
She looked down at the hanger "I don't see why not, but I guess he might get mad if other males see you in it" She allowed and then began to dig through the closet some more, before emerging with a large coat that she flung at me. "Put this on top of it."
I groaned. She seemed determined to make me wear the other garment. "What happens if somebody sees me? Or I get stopped?" I asked.
"Just stride down to the study as though you have important business. If you walk quickly enough nobody will stop you" she assured me. "But won't people wonder why I only have a coat on?"
"You think they'll be looking at you that closely?" she deadpanned.
She had a point. I reached out and took the red lingerie, consisting of a babydoll and g-string, holding it up to me and gazing down at it.
"Trust me, wear that and he won't be able to resist you. The man will be frothing at the mouth. You could tell him you want ten million dollars and he'd happily give it to you" she said with a seriousness that made me laugh.
"Fine" I grumbled.
I had been planning on wearing some of the lingerie for Braedon anyway and packed it in my suitcase when we went to Silver Fog Pack but never got the opportunity to wear it. I guess this was as good a time as any, but my cheeks burned at the thought of wearing this beneath a coat as I headed to Braedon's study. Sierra just motioned towards me. "Hurry up" she said tsking "I can't do your makeup until you're dressed. Let's go" she said impatiently. What? She wanted to do my makeup?
"I'm living vicariously through you. My s*x life is nonexistent and I need something juicy to make my day more exciting" she said as I reluctantly began to undress "I expect to hear all the good bits afterward. You can thank me later" she sang as I sighed.
How did I become such good friends with this woman that it had come to this? I put the clothes on and then the coat, before putting on red high heels, as Sierra pushed me onto the bed and grabbed my makeup, applying it carefully. By the time she was finished, I could only stare at myself in dismay.
She had teased my hair into soft waves and given my eyes a smoky seductive effect. My lips were lined and red lipstick was applied to match the lingerie. I was practically sizzling and she clasped her hands together. "I have created a work of art" she murmured "Now go and seduce that hunk in the study," she said, grabbing me by the hand and practically shoving me through the door and into the hallway before I could protest. She blew me a kiss as I slowly turned and tottered on my high heels, briskly making my way towards the stairs. God, I hoped I didn't fall down them. That would be humiliating. I swear I could feel Sierra's eyes on me, boring into my back. I felt like she was judging my every move as I slowly descended, clutching the railing and feeling foolish, the coat tightly tied around me. I avoided everyone's eyes, paranoid that everyone knew what I was wearing. Halfway down, I hesitated, my heartbeat accelerating and feeling like I wanted to turn and flee. Somehow I suspected Sierra would push me down the stairs rather than let me run away.
I made it down and headed towards the hallway, making my way carefully to the study. I could smell the scent of my mate behind the closed door and my mouth watered. I placed a hand on my stomach with a smile. When he heard the news, he was going to be so surprised, I thought, pleased and starting to feel a bit more optimistic. Maybe Sierra was right about this whole idea. I strode forward and then halted, hearing a woman on the other side of the door.
"King Braedon, it is such a pleasure to be at your pack" a sultry voice said as I stiffened, my ear placed to the door "I cannot thank you enough for your hospitality" she continued.
Who was this woman? I heard my mate clear his throat. She smelt like heavy perfume and I crinkled my nose. "You are welcome to stay, providing you don't make trouble at my pack, considering that you are a guest of one of my own members."
The woman practically purred and I opened the door, curious, only to halt in my tracks. A woman stood there, her boobs straining against the fabric, her hand gently resting on my mate's arm as he gently dislodged it, his face turning to wreath a smile at me. I could feel my wolf surging to the surface and struggled to keep it there as the girl pouted, showing her disappointment in being interrupted.
"Who are you?" she asked with disrespect.
I strode in and kissed my mate with a fierceness that surprised him as he wrapped his arm around my waist. The girl's jaw dropped open as I caressed his arm, leaning into his chest, and stared defiantly at her. I broke off the kiss and stared at the girl with open hostility. "I'm his mate," I said coldly "and I'm afraid that you must leave. I have something I need to discuss with him" I added snidely.
She opened her mouth but my eyes darkened and she reconsidered. I didn't care who she was a guest of, if she didn't move I was going to kick her a*s. She swallowed and bowed her head, moving rapidly out of the room. I kicked the door shut. My mate looked amused.
"You know that I only have eyes for you," he said thickly, his eyes darting down to my outfit, a bewildered look on his face. I smirked. "That's good," I said with a purr, as I slowly undid the belt on my coat and began to peel it off, my mate's eyes widening in shock, before dropping the coat recklessly on the floor. I stood there in all my glory and saw my mate's eyes darken. "Because I came here for another reason entirely" I finished and promptly locked the door, making my intentions clear if they weren't already.
