The Runaway Groom

The dress unfurled, and Erin could tell immediately that it was an alluring sleeping gown—she had to let it loose to see what it was.

She had never dressed in anything so risque and was at once thrilled and delighted.

She wondered how James would react when he saw her put it on, and the very prospect excited her.

Still, she wanted to surprise him, so she left it outside, while James returned after his shower. "Did you find it?"

"Yeah," Erin replied evenly.

"What was it?" James asked, somewhat curious.

Still, he presumed it to be jewelry, since women loved their necklaces, bracelets, and the like.

“It's nothing," Erin replied.

“It's nothing? What is it?" James pressed.

“I need a shower," Erin said and headed straight to the bathroom. James chuckled. "Is everything alright here? We just got married and we're already splitting our wealth? What's so valuable that you can't show me?"

“It's a priceless treasure. I'm not giving it to you just like that.” Erin flashed a mysterious smile at him and left the bedroom.
