Save Me #1

40| Welcome the new year

"You can open your eyes now," I say quietly and wait excitedly for Zach's reaction.

"Holy shit!" Zach gasps and eyes me from toe to head. His gaze lingers on my cleavage for a moment before his eyes wander up to my face again. "Baby, you look...wow."

I slowly step closer with a wide smile on my face.

"So, you like it?" I ask and stop in front of him.

Zach grabs my hand and lets me spin around. "I love it!" he states and wraps his arm around my waist.

By choosing this outfit, I really had to get out of my comfort zone. I'm wearing a silk, light-blue mini dress which is forbiddingly short. It barely covers my ass and ends midway down my thighs, but I somehow liked it when Hailey forced me to try it on. It has thin shoulder straps which cross over down the back and leave most of it bare, so I can't even wear a bra beneath it. The generous neckline leaves little room for imagination, just as the rest of the dress. It's quite skintight from the waist upward but falls down loose over my butt.

"God," Zach mutters and starts kissing my neck. "Do we have to attend that party tonight?"

I tilt my head and rake my fingers through Zach's damp hair.

"I didn't buy that dress for staying in the hotel room the whole night," I state lowly and bite back a soft moan as Zach grazes my neck with his teeth. "Get dressed now, you horny boy!" I lightly push him away and give him a wink.

Zach growls unwillingly but lets go of me and walks over to the walk-in closet. On the way, he casually drops his towel, causing my eyes to land on his sexy ass. I chuckle as he shoots me a smug smile over his shoulder before he vanishes in the walk-in closet.

I use the time Zach gets dressed to apply some mascara and a light pink lipstick. My hair has its natural waves which I'd like to keep tonight, so I simply brush through it with my fingers. A look into the mirror makes me giggle. I look so different with that sexy and very short dress, but it's New Year's Eve and sometimes you just have to come out of your comfort zone a bit.

A few minutes later, Zach steps into the room again, wearing a navy-blue tuxedo. My eyes widen as I take in the sight of the breathtakingly beautiful man approaching me.

"What's that?" I breathe as he stops in front of me with a charming smile on his full lips.

"That's a tuxedo, my dear," he states with a wink and adjusts his black bow tie.

"Yea, I see that. I just thought you'd wear your usual suit. The one you're always wearing when you visit the casino," I state after clearing my throat.

"Well, I thought spending New Year's Eve on a fancy party with my stunning girlfriend would be a great opportunity to buy a new one." Zach shrugs and places a soft kiss on my blushed cheeks.

"It suits you," I remark and graze my fingers over the black satin collar of his tuxedo which makes a great contrast.

God, this man will be the center of attraction tonight. The navy-blue slacks perfectly hug his hips and let suspect what's beneath it while a black satin side-strap, which goes down his pants, emphasizes his long legs.

I beam up into his hazel eyes and push back his wavy hair.

"Wait. Where's your nose ring?" I ask as I notice his piercing is gone.

"Oh... well, I thought it would ruin the overall picture. Tonight, I'll be your classy man!" Zach explains with a wink and then asks softly, "Ready to end this year?"

I nod and slip into my navy-blue block heels, closing the thin ankle strap.

When we arrive on the top floor where the party takes place, I gasp as I take in the location. The first thing I spot is the giant window front which encircles the whole room, providing full sight over the city of Vancouver. In the middle of the room, I spot a huge dance floor which is surrounded by white, golden, and black balloons. The decoration is quite simple but still fancy and beautiful. God, I'm so excited for this evening. I can't hide the huge grin on my face as my mood is already so high. The song which is playing at the moment makes it even better.
