She nods, and even though I can see she’s still worried about it, she seems to have calmed down a little.
“I have another surprise for you,” I tell her. “I have some people here to help you get ready. I know Xavier controlled the way you looked... So I thought it would be fun if you got to pick for yourself.”
Her eyes light up with pleasure and she nods, saying, “I’d like that very much.”
“Good girl. Here, put this on.” I hand her a pink box with a white bow and she smiles widely, tearing into it like a child.
It makes me wonder just how many of these moments Rain has been deprived of. Not just because of Xavier, but the way she was brought up, too. She had to live her life in hiding. How many of these simple pleasures has she even had in her life?
Pain clutches my heart, and I realize I feel sorry for her.
She opens the box to reveal a light pink silk robe trimmed with lace. She puts it over her naked body, and as much as I hate that her pretty curves are now hidden from me, I love how the gift looks on her. And I’m even more thrilled because she seems to love it. She twirls for me, her long golden hair bouncing in curls on her shoulders. The black dye has almost completely washed out now, thank fuck. She looks just the way I remember, but now she isn’t a little girl anymore.
Now, Rain is a woman.
I escort her down the stairs into a salon where several people are already waiting. A row of stunning dresses awaits Rain’s perusal while women stand by to help her do her hair, makeup and nails any way she wants.
“I love it!” Rain seems delighted as she takes in the sights, her fingertips dancing over the fabric of the dresses on the rail.
“I knew you would.”
“Are you leaving?” she asks, turning to face me with her smile fading.
“No,” I grin. “I thought I’d stay a while and watch you try a few of them on.”
Her smile spreads, and she runs toward me as if she’s going to hug me. But at the last moment, she changes her mind and comes to a stop, flushing. When she raises her eyes back to meet mine, I can tell she’s trying to contain her excitement.
“Thank you,” she finally says, her voice soft and just the right amount of fearful.
I nod and sit in a leather armchair while a maid brings me a cigar. I’m eager for something else, something more, but tell myself I’ll save it for the party so I can get an even better rush. Instead, I take puffs of the cigar and pour myself a whiskey, watching Rain disappear into the powder room with an assistant to change. If it weren’t a woman in there with her, I’d be losing my shit.
A moment later the door opens and she reappears in a red, one-shouldered dress that takes my breath away.
The dress is structured, fitting her perfectly. The bodice is sweetheart-shaped and her waist is so damn tiny I could clasp my hands around it.
“What do you think?” Rain asks, twirling before me and worriedly waiting for my reaction. “Is it too much?”
“No,” I mutter, trying not to show my genuine emotions. “It’s beautiful. I fucking love it. Do you?”
She nods with a wistful smile before glancing guiltily at the rack of clothes remaining in the room.
“You should try them all on,” I smirk. “In fact, I’m not leaving until I get to see you in all of them.”
She does her best to hide her smile and disappears back into the powder room.
For the next hour, I watch her try on gown after gown. The whole time, I’m hiding my hard cock, eager to escape the constraints of my trousers so I can make her suck it.
The dresses are exquisite, but more than the clothes, I notice the woman wearing them.
Rain looks radiant. Since I found out who she was, I’ve taken special care of how she’s being treated. I make sure she eats well, gets exercise in a private gym next to her room, and gets to indulge every little vice Xavier forbade just to be a dick. She gets books, bubble baths, deliveries of perfume, jewelry and more to keep her content. And she seems to respond well, already looking so much different from when she was first brought in.
By the end, I’m only registering the color of the dresses, too caught up in Rain to notice anything else. She glows from within, just like she did when I first met her. And this radiance within her... it’s dangerous. I cannot allow myself to get weak for her.
“I’ll see you at the party tonight.” I pick myself up from the chair abruptly and Rain’s face instantly falls.
