Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

Beautiful Bond Ch 11. One Night

WINONA

Dubai. A city of ultramodern architecture, luxurious shopping malls and magical

nightlife. With something to explore at every corner, rich with adventures for

everyone to indulge in. Away from England, we had stepped onto a paradise on

earth, and I was having the time of my life!

We arrived yesterday morning and after resting for a few hours at our hotel;

where we are sharing a room and a huge bed, we then headed out for some

sightseeing. In the evening, Marcel had let me spend the entire time shopping,

followed by dinner at a stunning restaurant.

Enter title…

He was adamant I shop and shopping I did! I purchased something for

everyone, from little Phoenix to Rosaline! Marcel wanted me to purchase things

for myself and although I felt guilty I soon gave in and chose several items for

myself. I allowed him to spoil me because I saw the way he was satisfied when I

did purchase things for myself. I even bought him a few things. I enjoyed the

entire experience and although I hadn’t felt tired during the time we were out,

the moment we got back to the hotel I had fallen asleep the moment my head

touched the pillow. Today, after an incredible breakfast from the balcony of our

luxury hotel, we spent the morning at an incredible waterpark before returning to

the hotel to rest for a couple of hours.

I am now getting ready for our date. Tonight, he is taking me for a romantic

dinner, which he hasn’t told me much about.

I now look down at the dress I had selected last night at his request… I blush at

the memory…

(FLASHBACK – LAST NIGHT)

I look around at the luxurious designer gowns that glitter under the lights of the

boutique. We have been shopping for the last three hours and I still feel full of

energy.

We had just stopped for ice cream; the weather is much cooler than the

sweltering heat of the day.

“What are we doing here?” I whisper, awed at the gorgeous gowns that call to

me.

But even in that treasure trove of dresses, there’s one gown that my eyes fall

upon that makes me slow down and stare.

It’s a stunning satin sage, and it makes my heart s*ip a beat.

What a beauty!

“We are shopping for a gown for our date tomorrow night, and I want you in

something pretty that I will enjoy unwrapping later.” His deep husky whisper

comes in my ear, making my heart hammer Unwrapping…

I stare up at him before I glance at the approaching saleswoman.

I think I know exactly what dress I want…

“Can you wait at the desk? I want it to be a surprise.” I say bravely, blushing

lightly.

He smirks but nods before he walks away and I turn my attention back to the

sage green temptation…

(END OF FLASHBACK)

I shake my head, looking over at the woman who had just finished getting my

hair and makeup done.

“Thank you for everything. I’ll get changed now.” I say, unwrapping the tissue

that holds the white lace bra and G string I had picked out for this trip.

“You are most welcome.” She replies before she leaves the room.

I slowly remove my gown, staring down at my shimmering legs as I slip on the G

string before putting the bra on and finally slipping into my dress. It fits me like a

glove, and I admire myself in the mirror. 2
