Making my way back to Allegra’s, I kept thinking over the conversation with Jas. The last ti I cried as much as I was right now was when my mother died, and I thought that was going to be the most painful thing I would ever experience.
Now, I wasn’t sure that was the case.
I had left Jas’ office under the notion we couldn’t ever be together. He made it clear he wanted to wait until Tally was okay with everything. However, that wasn’t going to work for .
She would never be okay with us being together.
Opening Allegra’s door, I stepped inside and was t with laughter. The sound of the man’s voice wasn’t one I recognized, and I suddenly felt bad about intruding and not letting her know I was on my way back.
“Becca!” Allegra exclaid with a smile. “You’re back so soon?”
“Uh–yeah,” I replied, giving her a half smile. “Turns out things won’t be worked out.”
With a small sigh and a nod, she turned her attention to the man next to her. “Well, Becca, I want you to et soone. This is my brother, Neal.”
Neal turned to with a pearly white smile and crystal blue eyes, and I couldn’t help but smile back. “It’s nice to et you, Neal.”
“It’s a pleasure to et you as well. I have heard a lot about you,” he replied, causing to look at Allegra with a questioning glance, wondering what the hell she had told him.
“I didn’t realize that you were going to be here. I hope I’m not intruding on plans that you guys have.” I was wondering if it would be best if I packed my things and found sowhere else to stay, but Allegra spoke up quickly.
“Don’t be ridiculous,” Allegra laughed. “I didn’t even know he was coming. He is in town for a few days on business and surprised his big sister.”
“It’s true,” Neal replied with a hearty laugh that brought a warmth across my chest I hadn’t been expecting. Sitting here with them right now was like welcoming old friends or even coming ho.
I enjoyed it, and as much as my mind was lingering on Jas, I couldn’t let that cloud my thoughts from enjoying the small ti I had left in Miami.
“So, where are you from?” I asked, taking a seat on the loveseat across from them.
“I’m from New York City. I heard you’re attending Yale. Is that correct?”
“Uh–yes I am.”
“That’s impressive. That school is definitely difficult to get into,” he said, letting his eyes graze over . “So, are you coming out with us tonight?”
Furrowing my brows, I looked at them, confused. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“I’m taking him to Velvet,” she said, giving a knowing smirk. “Do you want to go?”
As much as I had fun with her and Jas the last ti I was there, I wasn’t sure if it would be appropriate for to go again. “I don’t know... if Jas knew—”
“Didn’t you just say that it didn’t work out?” Neal butt in, giving a smirk that caused to laugh as I hesitated in my response.
“Well, yes. I suppose that’s true.”
“So why not co out then? No point in sitting around sulking,” he said, as Allegra nodded in agreent.
“Neal’s right. If Jas doesn’t see what he is missing, then why should you sit here instead of enjoying yourself? No one is saying you have to go have group orgies or anything, but you can dance and have fun. Who knows, maybe you’ll find soone who can take your mind off things....”
Allegra was a wise person, yes, and when it ca to making feel better, she did one hell of a job. However, right now, I wasn’t too sure if I wanted to do sothing like that. I wasn’t the kind of girl to just go find soone else to have sex with.
That was Tally’s departnt, not mine.
“I don’t know. I’m not really that kind of person–”
“Oh, no!” Allegra said, laughing, “I didn’t an like that. I just ant you can hang out with other people. Dance, laugh, and have fun. If you want to hook up with soone else, that’s your choice, and I won’t stop you. But I’m not saying to do that.”
Taking a mont to think it over, I nodded and shrugged my shoulders.
“Okay, let find sothing to wear,” I replied, standing.
“Oh, tonight’s thed,” Neal said with a smirk. “Fishnet and leather.”
Hesitating, I turned to Allegra and raised a brow. “Say what?”
Laughter began between the two of them, and for so reason I second guessed myself about going. I owned nothing that fit that criteria, and I was scared to see what Allegra would put in.
“I have the perfect outfit for you,” she smirked.
“Allegra, you’re way smaller than . There is no way I would fit into sothing of yours.” I replied, shaking my head, “I can just stay here.”
“Don’t be silly. I have tons of things that would fit you. You’re not that much bigger than . Now, no backing out. You already agreed.” Taking my hand, she dragged from the living room as Neal laughed.
I wasn’t sure what she had in mind for to wear, but I had no doubt it was going to be sothing scandalous. I had seen the outfits she was in before, and they left nothing to the imagination.
Walking into her room, she left standing by her bed as she ventured towards her closet. Piece by piece, she brought out an array of items that were more than sinful.
“What size shoe are you?” she asked, halting at the open closet doorway.
“Uh–an eight.”
“Perfect. Sa as then,” she exclaid excitedly as she disappeared and ca back with a pair of over the knee leather boots that tied all the way up the front. “Take these.”
Shoving them in my hand, she disappeared again, and ca back with fishnet stockings, and a black garnt that almost looked like shreds of clothing.
“What’s that?” I asked, with hesitation.
“It’s a dress. Now go on and get ready. I will do your makeup.”
“Allegra, you don’t have to do all of that–” I replied as she waved her hand, cutting off.
“Don’t be silly. I want to. I never had a little sister, and getting to play dress up with you is going to be fun. Now hurry, and get dressed.”
With a heavy sigh, I started taking off my clothes, and when I was standing in my bra and panties, she turned to with a smirk. “You’re not keeping those on, are you?”
My cheeks grew red at her comnt, as she stood there looking at with a smirk.
“Why wouldn’t I?”
“Because you won’t be able to. Just trust , and take them off.” Grabbing the fish nets, she opened them up as I slid off my panties and unclasped my bra. “You’re beautiful, Becca. Don’t be afraid of showing the world who and what you are... a goddess.”
Kneeling at my feet, she helped to slide the stockings on that went up over my ass, and held a large hole down in the center of my crotch. “There’s a hole.”
“Oh, I know,” she smirked before standing to gather the dress.
“Now let’s get you finished, so that way, you can see how much you are going to stand out tonight.”
“But I’m more of the angel type, Allegra,” I sighed.
“Yeah, well, even Lucifer was an angel at one point.”
*****
Jas.
I couldn’t believe I blew it again. I told her to co over so we could talk, and I ssed up the entire thing. The mont she walked out of my office, I regretted what I’d said to her. Why would any woman be okay with what I’d suggested?
Tally is a grown woman, and even though I liked to consider her my little princess, she wasn’t anymore. She was a woman who liked to do things her way, and if she wasn’t going to listen to , why would I put my life on hold to make her happy?
Being a parent was a tough position.
It ant constant confliction about what you should do for the benefit of them, and through it all, it seed no matter the choice you made, it was never good enough.
Instead of going ho, I dove into my paperwork, the clock ticking on as I tried to co to terms with it all, and yet Becca never once left my mind.
Did I care about her more than I was willing to admit?
Was I in love with this girl?
“Mr. Valentino,” Bennet said from my office door.
“Yes, what is it?” I asked with a sigh as I tried to decide on signing a few contracts that might bring a lot of money.
“You asked to let you know if anything progressed with Miss Woods. I wanted to let you know that she, Allegra, and an unknown man just left the apartnt building and are closing in on Club Velvet.”
My eyes shot up to et his, and the wheels in my brain started spinning. Club Velvet was the fetish club I had taken Becca to, and to hear she was going with Allegra and so guy—it struck a nerve.
“Who’s the guy?” I asked through clenched teeth.
Had Becca been playing with this entire ti? Was she seeing soone else, and that’s why she didn’t want to give us another chance earlier?
“We aren’t sure, sir. We do know the man arrived at Allegra’s ho while Miss Woods was here with you.”
Allegra wasn’t the type of woman to bring n back to her place. Her ho was her sanctuary, and through all the years I had known her, I had only ever been there a few tis. She was very private about her ho.
Which was what surprised when she let Becca go there. She barely knew Becca.
A lot of things weren’t making sense, and part of couldn’t help but wonder if there was more to Becca than she was letting on. I didn’t want to think about her in that way, but considering everything I went through with Allison, I wouldn’t be surprised.
Pulling my phone from my pocket, I checked the calendar for Club Velvet. “Fishnet...”
“What’s that, sir?” Bennet asked, standing at attention waiting for my directive.
“I want you to get the car for . I think I’m going to pay Club Velvet a visit.”
