Chapter 45: Now I Can

I'm sitting in the back of the limo waiting for Aurora to join me. As she approaches the car, I look her over. I chuckle as I realise that if she could see me now, she'd be blushing.

She's wearing a blue dress. It's quite short, but god does she look bloody gorgeous in it. I watch as she exchanges what I presume to be pleasantries with Henry.

Henry opens the door, and she struggles to get into the car, her dress making it slightly challenging.

I grin at her.

"Hello Miss Stone."

"Hello Mr Peters," she says in that gentle voice that is like a soothing balm to the tension I'm holding in my shoulders.

I feel myself relax.

She's looking to the front of the car. Even though I struggle to read her, I know where her thoughts have gone. She's thinking about the privacy screen. I pressed the button to close it seconds before she got into the limo and now she knows we're alone, I can't resist telling her what I want.
