The tears slipped out before I could stop them.
I didn’t expect to be so upset over a stupid dress. But this was supposed to be my first date ever–even if it was fake.
Dammit, I was twenty–two years old and had never experienced a normal date before. The fact that I’d finally worked up the courage to plan something only to have it ruined by Gabriel’s “accident“, which definitely wasn’t even an accident at all, made it a hundred times worse.
What did I do in a past life that prevented me from even having this one thing? This one small, stupid, normal experience that most people had by the time they were sixteen?
Goddess, how I yearned for a real relationship. A man who would hold my hand in a dark theater because he wanted to, not because people were watching. A man who would want to be alone with me instead of insisting on bringing his Beta along as a buffer.
Not whatever this was. This mockery of a marriage where my own husband couldn’t stand to be alone with me for two hours.
The ruined dress was just the icing on the cake of my humiliation.
Suddenly, the bathroom door creaked open. I turned, expecting to see some random woman, but instead found Alexander standing awkwardly in the doorway.
“What are you doing in here?” I sniffled, quickly wiping at my eyes. “This is the women’s bathroom.”
Sexs
He hesitated, glancing around to make sure we were alone, then stepped fully inside and let the door close behind him. “I wanted to make sure you were okay.”
I let out a humorless laugh and turned away, continuing to dab at the greasy butter stains on the front of my dress. “I’m fine. Just trying to salvage one thing about tonight.”
To my surprise, Alexander approached me and took the wet paper towels from my hands. “You’re making it worse,” he said. “Here, let me.”
Before I could protest, he dampened a fresh paper towel and began gently dabbing at the stains on my dress. His touch was careful, methodical, and strangely… tender.
My breath caught, ears reddening to the brink of giving away my shock. I quickly looked away. “Why are you helping me?”
“It’s an expensive dress. “It would be a shame to ruin it.”
“Right,” I murmured, inwardly chiding my ridiculous, fluttering stomach as his fingers brushed against the fabric over my hip. “Wouldn’t want to waste money.”
Alexander worked silently for a few moments, carefully dabbing at the stains with the damp paper towel. Despite knowing fully well that he was only doing this to save money, I couldn’t help the way my skin heated beneath the thin silk. When his fingers brushed against my waist, I swallowed hard.
He must have heard my gulp, because his hands suddenly stilled. Slowly, he looked up, and our eyes met in the mirror.
Just as it had in the theater, the space between us seemed to shrink. He held my gaze and didn’t let go for what felt like an etern**
