Chapter 54 - Don't Buy Everything!

Finally, after what seemed like an hours of browsing for clothes, she was led to the changing room by one of the female attendants.

"...Excuse me for being nosy but are you really the wife to Elias Blackwell?"

"Yes, I am."

"There goes all of the heartbroken females here at this mall..."

"What do you mean?"

"You don't know? Silver Linings is one of the most well known men's suits store located here and every woman at the mall knows Elias Blackwell because he is...Well, he used to be a sought out bachelor."

She considered the female store attendant's words as she left her to change alone. That really did mean her husband was a celebrity at this mall. Even if women didn't know who he was outside of this mall, he had this aura that attracted one to him. Be it his wealth or his irresistible tall, dark, and ruggedly handsome vibe, it was easy to be charmed by such a slick beast.

Obviously, she didn't know what kind of husband she was signing up for.

Prisana eventually changed into one of the dresses Dane picked out for her. The dress was bright red, cut off at the shoulders and it traveled all sleek and royal onto the ground. She was amazed at how beautiful the dress graced her eyes with touches of elegance presented in every nook and cranny. Her hands struggled to reach the zipper at the back.

"Excuse me, could you come in and help me with the zipper? I'm having trouble with it."

The curtain to the dressing room opened but she didn't look at the woman because she was having a hard time standing straight in such a tight fitted dress. Her fingers ran along Prisana's back as the zipper was sealed.

"Thank you...Dane!" she shouted at her husband as she found him behind her while glancing at the mirror.

She found him grinning into the mirror as she was pulled into an embrace. Dane buried his face into her neck and then he sniffed her.

"...Finally."

"What?"

"I finally have you in my arms. You don't know how long I was dying to hold you like this."

The warmth that radiated from her back made her feel safe and sound. But she tried twisting out of his hold because there were appropriate time and places for such things.

"You held me in your arms the entire night and this morning."

"That was then. This is now. It wasn't nearly enough."

She gasped as he kissed the back of her nape because the light scruffy beard he had tickled her skin.

"Are you insane? We're in the ladies dressing room!"

"I am insane. Prisana, you make me insane and not to worry, I'm only holding you or were thinking of something far more along the lines of..." he trailed off as his fingers hovered above her most sensitive place.

Prisana grabbed his hand that lingered dangerously close to where they would travel to the point of no return. It was tempting. God, he was so tempting that it was hard for her to hold back but one of them had to be sane or all hell would break loose.

"Not yet. I want to try on these dresses."

"Okay," came his fast reply. "Then change—"

She pushed him out of the changing room so that he stood outside.

"Out, you beast! Just stand there and give me your honest opinions."

Her husband actually obeyed and waited patiently outside. To her surprise, he never complained about how long she was taking or if they could leave. Instead, Dane was actually urging her to try on every dress and she was the one that wanted to leave.

After every dress Prisana slipped on, Dane only quietly observed each one without saying a word. His dark eyes captured all of her as she nervously fiddled under him. As she thought, perhaps none of them looked that great on her if he were being so quiet.

When she finished trying on the last dress, Prisana boldly tested him, "I want all of them."

Ha! Surely he would protest and throw a fit about how unreasonable she was being.

"Hmm, you think so too? Maybe I should just buy the entire store. No, the entire mall."

Her jaws nearly dropped down because a part of her believed that he would actually buy the entire mall for her.

"Don't you dare buy the entire mall. Dane, you mad beast! Don't let me take advantage of you so easily...Get angry. Scold me or tell me that I am unreasonable."

"But why would I do that when I wish to spoil you."

"Fine. I'll end up taking everything you...own."

The moment when she blinked after telling him 'fine', he was already gone from the dressing room. When she changed back into her clothes, she found him making purchases at the register. Prisana sighed.

The sad truth was, she probably could take everything he owned with the exception of his heart.
