The Secrets I wished I Knew

Internal battles

Avas POV:
        I gaze at myself in the mirror. Kristen watches me. "So you seduced him?" I spin around and stick out my tongue like a child. "No I didn't. I just gave into my desires. She smiles and glides across the floor in her full length red shimmering gown. "Same thing. I have never seen you apply so much concealer in your life."

I laughed and turned a full three sixty in front of her. My dress was black and all latex. It reached nearly mid thigh and it was strapless. "You look like a kinky sex master." Kristen told me checking my neck once again. My hair was spun up in a flawless messy bun and my makeup was smoky.

I glance at the black heels Kristen insisted I wear with the dress. "Are you sure about the heels?" She scoffs and daps the brush to my neck again. "As sure as these hickeys were made my Hunter." I sigh and move away from her. "What if he doesn't like it?" For the first time since seeing him I was worried about what he might think.

"Honey, you look like you stepped straight out of a kinky movie and into this room. If he finds you attractive with out the dress.." she doesn't finish her sentence because the doorbell rings. I squeak and she smiles at me. "I'll send him in."

"No. I'll come out." She nods and shuts the door behind her. I turn back towards the mirror. "You love him. And your going to tell him." I grabbed my clutch and began the descent down the stairs. "I mean it's great that they are getting married don't you think?" Zach, Luke, and Kristen chatted carefree and I noticed Hunter didn't contribute much to the conversation.

The conversation ceased when I hit the final stair. Hunter swallows thickly. Zach and Luke smiled and Kristen winked. "Are we ready?" I wasn't aware of the rest of the conversation. I was more focused on his stormy eyes undressing me. Piece by piece. I walked to him and took his awaiting arm. "Ava." He whispers. I glance at him and just a teasingly whispered, "Hunter."

"You look petrified. Do I scare you?" He smiles and kisses my hair and then leans down to whisper in my ear. "No, but in that dress you do." I look up at him and smiles like an innocent child. "Just a warning. Tonight could be the end of my control." I think of how sore I was already and my eyes widen.

He chuckles and bites my earlobe. I gasp and pull him out the door.
