Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

Beautiful Bond Ch 6. Black Dress

WINONA.

“No, I’ve changed my mind.” I say, turning away from the black dress that sits on the bed.

Azura tilts her head, her hands on her hips. She’s stunning in a slinky teal dress.

“You chose it.” She says pouting. “And frankly, I love it and you would look amazing in it?”

I look away from the doe eyes, knowing I’ll give in and stare at the dress once again.

Yes, I did choose it, but I had a moment of ‘if I was choosing a dress for someone else with my figure, what would I choose? ‘But then I realise I have to put it on… It’s going to show even more cleavage than the dress that Azura had chosen for me!

“I did, but I think it’s a bit too much. I don’t want Marcel to get the wrong idea.” I reply. What is the wrong idea?

Hmm, I don’t mind the attention even if it makes me so embarrassed. He makes me feel good.

“Marcel, huh?” She winks at me, and I blush, realising I hadn’t said Alpha. ” Maybe you can start saying, Daddy Marcel.”

She snickers and I sigh. She becomes serious again and crosses her arms. ” Look Winona, half the women will have their melon-size boobies on show, we Sangue ladies need to show them we also have our cute-sized mangos to flaunt, ok?”

I stare at her. Boobies? Melons? Mangoes?

“Uh…” She isn’t wrong. There will be many more beautiful women than me.

Maybe no one will notice me.

“It is an absolutely gorgeous dress.” She says, holding up the black knee-length dress which has a small slit. The neck is a sweetheart cut with inch-thick straps that are set wide apart.

I do like it… It’s beautiful.

“Ok. You should go and finish getting ready. I’m sorry for wasting so much time. I’ll come to get Phoenix once I’ve changed.”

“Winona… I was going to take Phoenix to this dinner regardless of if you were going to come or not, and that’s going to remain. Tonight’s your night off. Don’t worry about others, just yourself, ok?”
