Their looks are admiring and appraising\u2026until their attention shifts to me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Their eyes grace me with scowls and glares, as if they&#8217;d like nothing more than for me to shrivel up and disappear into thin air.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">I swear, if eyes could kill, I&#8217;d have died, resurrected, died and resurrected, and died again at least twenty times over in under five minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">I really don&#8217;t get it. They have no reason whatsoever to glare or be mad at me. I&#8217;m <em>\u043d\u0435\u0442 <\/em>his woman. This is just a misunderstanding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Okay, it\u2019s a <em>\u043e\u0433\u0440\u043e\u043c\u043d\u044b\u0439 <\/em>misunderstanding, but it\u2019s not at all what it looks like\u2014although I have to admit the whole thing does appear pretty compromising, and unfortunately, in the real world, appearances are everything.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">I guess I can\u2019t really blame them for believing otherwise. Heck, <em>I\u2019d<\/em> probably be thinking the same thing if I was an outsider looking in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">But all the same, what the hell are they mad at me for? It&#8217;s not like he&#8217;s available either way. He&#8217;s got a wife. Surely they know that. Or maybe they just don&#8217;t care?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Somehow, a lot of the women here strike me that way, and the Rainbow girls are obviously here to do their jobs and make money, and I&#8217;m pretty sure Mindy doesn&#8217;t care whether her money is coming from single or married men, just as long as it\u2019s coming.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Dr. Frost doesn&#8217;t seem to notice the women giving me stink looks and death glares. He continues to lead me throughout the vast mansion, and I just follow in silence, feeling incredibly timid, like a shy, introverted child on her first day at school.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">God, this is so damn uncomfortable. I don&#8217;t even know how I&#8217;m going to get through the rest of this night after this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">We finally make our way outside through a pair of large floor-to-ceiling French doors, and I brace myself for the storm I know is about to come.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">We walk down a circular stairwell and pass by a group of people gathered by the most beautiful waterfall monument I&#8217;ve ever seen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">What the hell is up with this place and all its damn stairs?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">My feet throb as if they&#8217;re literally on fire, the shoe straps mercilessly digging into my inflamed and probably swollen skin now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">I try to ignore the pain as we continue to descend the steps, and as I get to the last one, I miscalculate and stop just short of it, leading me to stumble.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">My ankle wobbles and gives, forcing me to lose my balance, and the treacherous shoes once again cause my demise. My hands flail out on reflex once more, and I can&#8217;t believe this is seriously happening again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">I hate these shoes for real! I hate Nicole for ever suggesting that I wear them, and most of all, I hate <em>myself <\/em>for agreeing to.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">&#8220;Woah, easy there,&#8221; Frost says, his voice deep and commanding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">I feel both his hands grab at my waist, holding me from behind and breaking my fall once more. I really feel like Humpty-Dumpty tonight. This is so embarrassing I want to crawl into one of the holes in this magnificent green lawn and die. Why do these things always have to happen to me? Was once really not enough? I seriously had to have an encore?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">I can only imagine how ridiculous he thinks I am. Heck, <em>\u044f<\/em> think I&#8217;m ridiculous! I&#8217;m positive I at least look like I am.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"><em>Christ, shoot me now.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Before I know what&#8217;s happening, I&#8217;m being hoisted into the air and effortlessly hauled over his shoulder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Instantly, I feel the bottom of my dress ride dangerously high up my thighs, and I seriously think I&#8217;m going to die right now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">I try in vain to get him to put me down as I look behind him frantically, my eyes and head darting left and right in hopes that no one can see me being hoisted like this and potentially flashing my ass to any onlookers. Thankfully, most people are too preoccupied in their own conversations and banter to notice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">I feel like screaming at him, but that would be counter-productive and defeat the purpose. It&#8217;ll only bring me the kind of attention that I don&#8217;t want.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">I shriek at his actions, struggling against him as he calmly carries me over to a bench by yet another fountain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">&#8220;Put me down!&#8221; I squeal, trying to push myself off him and getting a generous feel of his broad shoulders in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Even beneath the crisp suit he&#8217;s wearing, he feels so hard and firm and incredibly delicious. Despite my verbal protests, my hands smile at the treat they&#8217;re getting, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, they want even more of him, more of his toned, strong body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">He finally sets me down on the bench, gently lowering my body onto the granite finish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">The smooth, stone surface feels super cold against my thighs, sending ice-cold shock waves through my lower body. I jump at the contact, but he keeps me in place easily, practically barricading my body to the seat with his own.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">I grab at the hem of my skirt, pulling at it furiously as my neck and cheeks burn to oblivion at the thought that he just saw my underwear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">I struggle to shield my unmentionables from his gaze while I battle the surge of embarrassment and humiliation coursing throughout my body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">He lowers himself to the ground, his big body collecting below me in a stoop and he immediately goes for my shoes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">He looks incredibly focused, as if he has a one-track mind. He takes my left foot first, gently holding my ankle in his hands as he undoes the straps and buckles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">He takes his time, even though I can see that he&#8217;s having a bit of trouble with the array of straps and buckles on it, and it seems to be frustrating him. I almost laugh. He probably hates the shoes almost as much as I do. <em>Almost<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">After a bit of fussing around with them, the shoes finally slide off and my feet are free after what seems like an eternity. My blood rushes through them and they throb incessantly from being previously constricted and under so much pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">I can&#8217;t stop the pleasure groan that erupts from deep within my throat. My eyes flutter closed in the way they typically do when I&#8217;m experiencing a great deal of relief.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">For a split second, a small part of my mind absently thinks of the fact that even the damn exterior benches in this mansion are made of expensive granite. Whoever this birthday boy is, he\u2019s even more loaded than I could have imagined, and Frost is obviously friends with him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">For some reason, that rings kind of strange to me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">I know Dr. Frost is renowned in his professional circle, but I never realized he was in with the super wealthy crowd. I guess he&#8217;s even more elusive than I originally thought.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">When I open my eyes again, I see Frost staring straight at me, his hands gently rubbing and massaging the stiffness and achiness in my feet and toes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">He goes over all of them, giving special attention to my little toes. It hurts quite a bit at first, and I reflexively move to stop him, grabbing at his large hand, but he keeps going, until the pain subsides significantly. It doesn&#8217;t take long for my feet to feel normal again. He seriously has magical hands and healing fingers. I think he knows that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">I watch him grin at my expression of content. I sigh at the feeling of release he&#8217;s giving me, and for several moments, I can&#8217;t think of anything to say, so I just stay quiet and enjoy having my feet pampered back to life. At least until I realize what the hell I&#8217;m doing and who the hell is doing it to me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Impulsively, I move my feet out of his grasp, bringing them back toward my body as panic and reality invades my little moment and bursts my little bubble of momentary relief.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">&#8220;I-I&#8217;m sorry,&#8221; I say.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Wait, what the fuck? Why am I apologizing? <em>\u041e\u043d<\/em> the one who hoisted me and carried me around like I was a bag of potatoes. <em>\u041e\u043d<\/em> the one who brought me out here as if he&#8217;s the boss of me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Although\u2026I suppose that isn&#8217;t <em>entirely <\/em>true.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">I could have interjected at any moment and I didn&#8217;t, but <em>only <\/em>because I didn&#8217;t want to draw any attention to us or the fact that we know each other. But in the end, I guess I <em>did <\/em>consent to coming out here with him, even if it was by default and not so much by my own choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">&#8220;I need to get back inside,&#8221; I say, standing up abruptly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">The grass is incredibly cool underneath my feet, and the tiny, wispy blades slightly tickle me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">&#8220;To do <em>what<\/em>, exactly?&#8221; he asks, his expression almost incredulous.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">I immediately frown. If I didn&#8217;t know any better, I&#8217;d say he was accusing me of something. And I don&#8217;t like how presumptuous his tone sounds. Not. One. Bit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">&#8220;I don&#8217;t recall that being any of your business,&#8221; I answer sternly, feeling irritated by his seemingly judgmental attitude.

He looks at me squarely, his intense eyes boring into mine as he says, &#8220;Well, that\u2019s where you\u2019re wrong, my dear.
