My Little Sunshine

Chapter 73: It's Payback Time

Taking in a couple of deep breaths, Stella tried to calm herself down as she leaned against the closed door. After she got her wayward thoughts in line, she held her head in hands realizing that she had forgotten the dresses in his room. She opened the door but closed it right away.

'Going back there isn't a good idea.' She nodded her head at her own thoughts. She had chosen those dresses because they were the least bold ones that Katherine had gotten her. The rest of them were a bit revealing, actually a lot. Heaving a sigh, she made her way to the walk-in closet to look for something that she could wear for the event.

Her brows furrowed deeply as she was going through the rest of the dresses, one by one. Her eyes set on one of the dresses as she pursed her lips together. Her eyes brightened up as an idea popped up in her mind.

'It's payback time.' She thought to herself as an evil smirk appeared on her face.

Two hours later, Stella headed downstairs after getting ready where Adam was waiting for her.

Adam turned his head towards the stairs when he heard the sound of heels clicking against the floor.

"You did take you sweeee.." The rest of his words got stuck in his throat.

There she was, wearing a dark red dress which was dragging on the floor as she was walking down the stairs taking her own sweet time. The dress hugged her body in the right places. The dress was supported by two spaghetti straps going over her shoulders. But the most distracting thing for Adam was the deep v-cut in the front of her dress which stopped below her navel, leaving her sternum and part of her abdomen exposed. Her hairs were tied up in a loose side bun leaving a few locks stray which were framing her face which was covered by a thin layer of makeup. But her lips, those luscious lips were looking more appealing to him in the bright red shade that matched her dress perfectly. Two golden loops were dangling down her earlobes.

Adam gulped a mouthful of saliva when she stopped right before him.

"You are drooling." She said with a wink as she sashayed past him.

As she walked past him, she couldn't help but notice that he was wearing the shirt that she had bought for him. He had paired it with a plain black coat and dress pants and black crystal cufflinks. He looked like some Vampire Lord specially with his silky black messy hair.

Adam opened his mouth to say something in reply but before he could, his eyes landed on her back, half of which was exposed. He clenched his hands into fists trying to control his emotions as he followed her outside.

Half an hour later, they arrived at a seven star hotel where the auction was being held. A waiter guided them towards the hall.

Walking next to each other, the couple easily drew everyone's attention to themselves. All the people there had their eyes locked on them.

"What were you thinking?" Adam asked her gritting his teeth. All the men in the hall were eyeing his little elf with lust evident in their eyes. It was enough to make his blood boil in anger. No one could look at her like that, no one. Well, except for him.

"What do you mean?" Stella replied to him with a question of her own, feigning innocence.

"The dress." Adam narrowed his eyes at her. He could see through her tactics easily.

"Don't you like it?" Stella asked him, blinking a couple of times as a soft smile graced her lips.

Leaning close to her ear, Adam whispered. "Oh! I love it baby. But I would love taking it off you more." His hand coming to rest at her lower back as he brought her closer. "I don't like all these eyes on you sweetheart. Do you know how it feels when I see these pests looking at you like they are taking off your clothes in their minds?" Adam murmured next to her ear clenching his jaws.

"Just like I feel when I see every single girl in the hall, eyeing you like they own you or something." Stella whispered back into his ear, her hands moving up from his abdomen slowly, stopping at the lapels of his coat. She traced her finger from the base of his ear to his collar bone which was visible as he had left the first two buttons undone.

Adam's lips broke into a smirk hearing her reply. "They don't sweetheart." He said stepping back a bit making Stella pout. Before she could say anything he continued after a pause. "But you do."

His reply made a warmth spread through her chest. She held the lapels of his coat with her hands as she tilted her face up. Yanking his lapels down, she brought his face closer to her own and placed a soft peck on his thin lips, taking him by surprise.

Before he could react, she had already pulled away. "You just said I do." She added with a wink as her lips curled up in a mischievous smile.
