Immaculate

Gift Giving

Part 105

Sang's POV

I was completely overwhelmed. I had gone from having no presents to a small mountain that I was sure had a base camp or two on it. I had nine guys, a present from each guy meant nine presents and then there was another present that they said they had for me that was my main present. My main present? What was all this then? I was starting to panic, although I had bought things for all of them, they weren't exactly top notch gifts. Most of them had been novelty items that had made me think of each guy when I saw them. Like Kota's bookends or Gabriel's book on the history of the guitar. They were silly presents and I suddenly felt they weren't good enough.

"Sang," Luke flapped his hand in front of my face. "Are you feeling ok?"

I looked at him and smiled. I was still in the dress I had worn to Victor's concerts and after having eaten far too much, it was tight across my stomach. I realised I had a perfect excuse to avoid being here when they opened their presents from me. If I wasn't here they wouldn't have to pretend if they didn't like them.

"I've eaten too much," I said with a groan and got to my feet. "You guys go ahead, I'm going to change."

"We can wait, Miss Sorenson," Mr Blackbourne said and I shook my head hastily.

"No, you go on." I dived for the door and made my way up the stairs quickly, holding my skirts up to avoid tripping. I made it into Mr Blackbourne's bedroom and collapsed onto my back on his bed with a groan.

I looked up at his ceiling and saw that he had kept the pink heart I had made from tinsel. I scooted up the bed and lay my head on his pillow, looking back up at the heart. I squinted slightly and then jumped to my feet on the bed, bouncing slightly. I gripped the wall to keep my balance and looked up again. He had found a picture of me where I was smiling into the camera; he had enlarged it and printed it off, sticking it in the centre of the heart.

I plopped back down, tears filling my eyes that he had done this. I knew that he had only found it last night, so he must have done that today sometime. It made my heart swell with love for him. I adored them, I adored them all.

I got off his bed and straightened the covers back again and crossed to his dressing room. I would have to hope that what I bought them was good enough, maybe if they truly loved me, it wouldn't matter that it wasn't expensive things. I dragged a full circle skirt and a loose blouse that matched it from my section of clothes and went back into the bedroom. I undid my necklace first, careful to place it back in the box just so. I then tried to undo my dress and realised that I couldn't. I would have to go back down, ask for one of them to undo me and then come back up and change.

I headed to the door and opened it, just as Kota was coming up the steps.

"Hey, are you ok?" he asked quietly and I grinned at him.

"I was just coming to see if someone could rescue me," I said and turned to show him the back of my dress.

"Is your head troubling you?" he asked as he stepped towards me.

"No," I said. "It's fine, the tablets Dr Green gave me worked. I just ate too much, Kota. I'm going to have to work out soon or you'll be rolling me around."

He laughed and I felt his hot breath on my neck as he worked the top button free.

"You don't need to worry about that," he murmured and I felt the dress loosening as he slid the zip down to my waist.

I opened my mouth to thank him and a groan came out when I felt his lips connect with the top of my spine, his fingers stroking down my bare back.

"You're not wearing a bra," he murmured against my ear, his fingers pushing the fabric of the dress further open.
