Chapter Ninety–Eight – You Should Always Need Me 

With th 

the short, tight leather dress Wyatt picked out this afternoon. I stand before the mirror, holding it against me. We were supposed to shop tomorrow 

are still going tomorrow because I need boots and a chain. We got the dress today to save some time, morning but something came up for him. We ar While Wyatt remmended boots. I’m leaning towards heels. He might not approve, given his preference for thigh–high boots. 

The dress is sexy, but I’m a bit hesitant to wear it. Can I pull it off? I’ve worn leather for him before, but only in front of him. It’s a different experience 

wearing it in front of a whole house of people. 

-You can do it!” I whisper t 

is myself. 

It fit well when I put it on. It made me feel good too. My worries are unfounded, Overthinking is unnecessary. I am nervous enough about tomorrow night. Not only because of the type of party but also because his ex–sub will be there. I’m not sure how I feel about meeting her. A year in a long time. 

Was their bond the same as ours or different? Did she please him better than I do? Am I a replacement for her? He did say he hadn’t seen or spoken to 

her in a year if I remember correctly. 

Thank God he isn’t here right now to see me spiralling. A business dinner rame up for him at the last minute. I offered to go with him as his assistant. but he insisted I don’t. He’ll come aver later if the mating wraps up early enough. He has to wine and dine them. It is a possible future client from Japan. Landing this deal would be a major win for him and the company. He suggested potentially taking them to a private club he belongs to. He might finish by nine or by three in the morning 

return the dress to the hunger. I’m dedicating tonight to some well–deserved sell–cure indulging in a nice bubble bath, wine, Chinese takeout, and choss films. I need to unwind and get my mind ready for tomorrow. I might also do some research. Wyat shared some insights, but I want to be as prepared as possible. Does his friend share the same Dom lifestyle as him? What’s a good way to grove him? Silly linde questions like those are constantly swirling around in my head. I want to be respectful. I am still adjusting to certain aspects of my relationship with Wyatt, never mind with complete strangers. Will I be the only newbie!

“Why 

aren’t you answering my phone calls? Call me back! I don’t like being ignored.” 

I roll my eyes while reading it. He needs to calm down, but I shouldn’t expect anything less from him. Taking a deep breath, I call him back. He answers the phone after only one ring. 

“What was the reason for not answering”
