âAn item in discreet packaging? What did you buy?â
Lucindaâs face bloomed red.
There was only one thing she had bought online recently.
She had planned to use the item to cheer him up, so to speak, but she had been too busy to track the parcelâs arrival date.
What an unfortunate coincidence that it should arrive at this exact moment.
âUh⦠Just put it in my room, Rickey! I donât need it right.
â
âWait!â Nathan called out almost immediately.
The reddening of her face and ears had not escaped his notice.
This was a strange reaction to an already odd delivery.
He was⦠intrigued.
He strode across the room, flung the door open, and plucked the small, rather delicate box from Rickeyâs hands.

âNo, donât open it!â Lucinda screamed.
It was too late for Lucinda to seize the parcel from Nathan.
He had already opened the box, and Rickey was also peeking curiously.
The contents revealed a black and white dress.
It had a unique style which stood in contrast to Lucindaâs personal preferences.
Perplexed, Nathan inquired, âYou donât usually care for this type of clothes, do you? And itâs just a dress, so why the nerves?â
A smile tugged at Lucindaâs lips as she responded, âIâm not nervous.
Canât I embrace a change and wear this kind of dress for once?â
She contemplated taking the box and discreetly concealing it in her room.
However, Rickey, driven by curiosity, explored further and discovered a fluffy he
address resembling cat ears, a plush toy tail, a collar with a bell, and⦠A black hosiery.
âWow! Miss Simmons, is this a costume for cosplay? A surprise for Mr.
Payne? How romantic!â exclaimed Rickey, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
Lucindaâs body stiffened as embarrassment enveloped her.
Nathan, too, realized that the dress held more than met the eye.
Carefully examining the accessories, his gaze fell upon the black pantyhose.
This led to a revelation.
Silently closing the box, Nathan turned to Rickey and instructed, âGo to Angle Intl with Conor to assist Sonny.
Inform the other bodyguards in the villa not to disturb us, regardless of what they may hear later.
