Rae's POV
I get dressed in a maroon-colored satin dress.
It took two make-up artists to fully cover all the marks that Allistar left on my body, especially the bite mark on my neck. My body still tingles from last night and my pussy still sore from all the sex. If it wasn't for the painkillers, I wouldn't have been able to walk. But I am not stupid enough to dwell on that feeling. It was good while it lasted.
I am sure that was the only time I would sleep with Allistar Callahan. The consummation is now done, and my work is completed. And to be frank I wouldn't mind that; in fact, I would like nothing more than just Allistar Callahan leaving me alone. All my life I have been controlled and maybe, just maybe for once I can do nothing but sit back and relax.
"Done" the makeup artist lets me know. I give her a nod and walk out of the room without even looking in the mirror. My hair has been left open as per my request since it was easier that way to hide my marks in case the concealer betrays me.
The man I saw in my husband's study when I first came here is waiting for me right outside my door.
"Your husband sent me here to take you to the car" he looks at me with a smile, a goofy smile. I give him a small smile and nod before walking towards the lift. He stands there for a second before running up to catch me.
"My name is Reggie" he says as we both enter the lift.
"Rae" I tell him.
"I know. But I must say you are very beautiful Ma'am, especially your eyes" he says and I look at him.
"Thank you, Reggie" I say and this time I am a little happy. It might be the first time someone is actually enjoying my company. The lift opens and we both make our way out.
"In case you are nervous, don't be. The Callahan's are really nice people..." he says but gives him a raised eyebrow look and he stops, "at least, Mrs. Callahan is" he chuckles and I laugh a little too. I know that Allistar's father, James Callahan is a shrewd man. He is famous for being cold to everyone who is not his family. As for Allistar's wife though, I have no idea how she is. But I am not at all nervous because don't want to impress them. I will hardly ever meet them in the coming one year, so, what's the point of getting them to like me.
"Allistar's waiting for you in the car" he points to the limo parked at the entrance.
Reggie opens the door for me and I give him a large smile which he replies with a wink that makes me blush a little. He closes the door once I get in and that is when I see Allistar sitting right beside me, a glass of whiskey in hand and phone in another where he is talking to someone but his eyes are on me. He looks at me from head to two once and then twice.
He hangs up the call when the car starts moving followed by two more SUVs, probably his security. He says nothing but his eyes are enough to tell me. He is thinking of last night, it is clear by the way he looks at me. It is exactly how he looked at me when we shared the bed. I would be lying if I didn't say I was thinking the same thing. Being in such a close space, the scent of leather, whiskey, and mint surrounds the air. It is choking me like a vice.
