Worth the Risk (a Matthew Gray Gubler fanfic)

Chapter Thirty Four

Las Vegas: Day 3 (Wednesday)

It's the end of the third day of vacation. Matthew and I did a little window shopping. We walked, talked, and had a great time. By the time we got back to the hotel, we were so exhausted.

"My feet are killing me. I think I'm going to get in the jacuzzi." I tell Matthew.

"Um-can I join?"

I smile at his sudden shyness, "I don't mind."

I make sure the water is at the perfect temperature. I add some bubble bath, mainly because I like the bubbles. Yes I know, I'm just a big kid. I tell Matthew it's ready as I go ahead and climb in.

He enters the bathroom with a little shy smile on his face. He starts to undress, "Don't look!"

I laugh, "It's not like I haven't seen it before! Just come on... the water is gonna be cold by the time you get in here."

Matthew strips down and joins me in the tub. He settles in across from me.

"This is nice. No wonder you ladies like baths."

"Actually, I usually don't like baths. I was just really intrigued by this particular jacuzzi tub." I say.

We enjoy the warm bath and splash water at each other. I end up turning around, sitting in between Matthew's legs, and my back facing him as he massages my shoulders.

I lean into his touch, "Mmm this is nice. I could get used to this."

"Yeah... me too." His voice sounds almost, sad.

So I ask, "Are you okay?"

"Yes I'm fine. But um- I have been meaning to ask you something."

My eyebrows furrow, "Okay, shoot."

"So... would you be willing to go somewhere with me on Friday?" He asks, hesitantly.

What does he mean? I hope he's not planning my death! Nah, just kidding. Surely he would've killed me by now if that was the case.

"Honey, I've been somewhere with you all week." I laugh to lighten the mood.

He clears his throat, "No, like somewhere important. I want you to go with me."

It's not like I have to think long and hard about my answer. It's a simple answer. I just want to know what he's planning. Curse my nosy nature!

"Yeah. I will go with you. As long as you promise not to kill me and bury me in the woods." It was his turn to laugh and I'm glad I could cheer him up a bit.

Although, I still don't know why he was upset.

Las Vegas: Day 4 (Thursday)

I have something special planned for Matthew tonight!

He has planned for us to go to a restaurant that has an interesting dining concept... dining in the dark. Apparently they serve you a meal, you don't know what it is, and you eat in the dark. I'm not so sure about the whole idea but I guess it could be fun. And since he has done so much for me this trip, my little surprise will come after dinner.

Right now I'm getting ready. I lock the door to make sure Matthew doesn't decide he wants to come in here while I'm getting dressed. Part of the surprise is under my clothes, if you know what I mean.

I picked out a nice red slip dress that lands a couple of inches below the knee. The neckline is scooped with a little lace made to look like the undergarments. It's fitted but not skin-tight. I'm pairing the dress with a pair of strappy black heels. Now, underneath this beautiful piece of fabric, is something that is sure to grab his attention. I'm wearing a black lace teddy, completely see-through. It's a corset top, which makes my breasts look full. The butt is almost a thong and it makes my ass look fantastic, if I do say so myself.
