Chapter 49: Mine

Ariana had gotten dressed in the gown that he had selected. He had done her hair for her in a gorgeous updo and had placed a rose gold clip into it to hold it into place. She had slipped on a pair of rose gold heels to complete the look with a pair of drop earrings. She had kept her make-up neutral for the look with golden tones. To him, she was flawless but to her... she had many imperfections.

She nervously sat in the beautiful restaurant, sipping her ros頷ine. Her foot shook beneath the table as she watched him order.

He looked absolutely stunning in his dark suit, crimson button down, and black belt. His shirt was unbuttoned slightly, showing off a hint of his collarbones. He brought his wine glass to his lips and watched her from across the table.

He hadn't brought any toys to the table. Hadn't chosen to make it torturously fun, and a part of her wondered what trick was up his sleeve this time.

Carter set his glass down and smirked at her. "You seem distracted."
