Chapter 30: Chapter 30

River

Daimen decided we were going to brush off the ice cream shop incident. So to clear our heads we drove far out of town to some shopping mall. We went into the mall like two old time friends. I'd never been here but Daimen knew the place.

I ignored the looks as we walked side by side through the big building passing by lots of little stores.

"Wanna hear a joke?" Daimen suddenly asked and I shrugged.

"Yeah, I guess so." I said glancing at him. He gave a smirk.

"A pregnant whore walks into--" he began and my eyes widened.

"What the hell?" I cut him off and he chuckled.

"Listen." He said laughing softly.

"A pregnant whore walks into a grocery store to buy bread. What kind does she buy?" Daimen asked and I gazed at him frowning. He smiled and I felt myself begin to do the same.

"Rye?" I questioned and he shook his head.

"Wheat?" Another shake.

After naming all the bread I could think of I looked to Daimen. "Alright, what kind?" I asked and he smirked.

"Pumpernipple." He said and my eyebrows raised. He chuckled and I laughed a little as well.

"You're an idiot." I said shaking my head and he smirked.

"Stay here." Daimen said before walking away.

"Daimen where are you going?" I asked. He turned back to me and smirked.

"Just wait there okay? I'll be right back. Don't go anywhere." Daimen said and disappeared from my sight.

I sat on a bench and picked at my fingernails before scrolling through my phone. After a bit I got bored and started walking around, but stayed close to the spot he'd left me.

"Here." I jumped at Daimen's deep voice and turned nearly running into him. He held out a bouquet of doughnuts and I raised my eyebrows. Pink wrapping paper held the ends together and the doughnuts, on sticks, were drizzled in chocolate and sprinkles with intricate designs on them. It looked delicious.

"Where'd you get that?" I said in awe. Daimen chuckled softly and handed it to me.

"Doughnut Palace. Thought it'd make a good proposal." He said and I nodded gently before pausing.

"Proposal?" I asked and Daimen nodded.

"Yeah, there's a party tomorrow night..." Daimen started.

"I figured we could go together." Daimen said and I didn't know what to say.

"Daimen tomorrow? I don't know if I can..." I said.

"Oh, come on; what's it gonna hurt?" He said and I frowned, lost for words, at the doughnuts.

I didn't know what to say.

"You don't have to go if you don't want to." Daimen said softly.

"I'll go." I said. The man smiled.

"Under one condition," I continued. Daimen tilted his head.

"What is it?" He asked.

"You act right. No cursing, yelling, or fighting." I said.

"I am an angel, I'd never do any of that." Daimen said with an overdramatic gasp.

"Oh, shut up." I said shaking my head and taking a bite of one of the doughnuts.

"I hate you." I said and Daimen gave me a surprised look.

"Why?" He asked.

"You gave me doughnuts. I just ate ice cream and now you gave me doughnuts." I said and Daimen sighed.

"Look, if you're about to say you 'need to diet,' don't, you're not fat or overweight; and if anyone tells you otherwise I'll kick their ass. You're perfect. Now eat the damn doughnuts." Daimen huffed throwing an arm over my shoulder. Dumbfounded, I took another bite.

"So... wanna go look for a dress?" He asked and I gave a shrug.

"This is stupid." I said as I walked out of the dressing room for the umpteenth time.

A red dress was constricting my body, more specifically my ribcage and waist, like a python and it was hugging my legs together.

Daimen sat in a chair in front of me and was looking at his phone with a small frown as if he was thinking about something.

I crossed my arms and cleared my throat softly. Daimen looked up at me and his eyes lit up a little.

"It looks a little tight." He said and I nodded.

"Welp, next one it is." Daimen said with a smirk and I rolled my eyes before going back to the dressing room.

I shut the door behind me and locked it before turning around in the medium sized room. Okay time to get this puppy off.

I reached back to grab the zipper, trying an overhead technique which failed because I only managed to touch the zipper. I frowned and tried to go from under, my hand grazing against my back and I got it, for about two inches down, before it got stuck. I muttered a curse and tried to wiggle my way out with the access space, but it did nothing if anything.

I was trapped. My heart started pounding as I realized I couldn't get the damned thing off.

I bit my lip and sighed. I needed help.

Swallowing my pride I walked back out of the dressing room and Daimen looked at my quizzically.

"You alright?" He asked and I shook my head. He frowned and looked me up and down.

"I need you to help me get this off. It's stuck." I said and he chuckled softly as he stood.

"It's not funny." I snapped and went back to the room. Daimen followed and shut the door behind him.

"Let me see." He sighed and I turned around and moved my hair out of the way.

His hands grazed my skin as he tugged the zipper down and chills rushed through me. I let out a sigh of relief and closed my eyes briefly.

My body tensed as I felt Daimen's hands running along my back. I gasped as he leaned closer and his lips brushed my neck.

"Calm down Princess, I won't bite... unless you want me to." Daimen huffed and placed a chaste kiss to my shoulder. His hands left my back and gripped my hips. My heart began pounding. I gasped as his lips pressed to the back of my neck and I squeezed my eyes shut as he kissed my skin slowly.

"Wear that black dress, the one with the lace." Daimen said as his hands massaged dangerously below my belly button. The action was causing me to squirm with a longing feeling. In all honesty, it was arousing me.

"But you said you didn't like it." I gasped as his hands went lower.

"Only because you looked like you were asking to be fucked." Daimen growled and put one of his hands on my inner thigh.

My body squirmed and I bit my lip.

"Daimen." I moaned and he chuckled before dragging his lips along my tingling flesh.

"I'm hungry." He whispered into my ear and I frowned softly.

"Okay?" I said, "Well we can get something to eat when we leave." I breathed and he tightened his grip on my hips. He tugged down the dress and I tensed as it settled around my feet.

"I'm hungry now though. Besides I've already chosen my meal." Daimen said slipping a hand between my legs to cup my sex.

"Daimen--stop." I gasped as he turned me around so I was facing him and backed me into the wall of the little changing room.

"I'll be quick Princess. I want you." His eyes trailed my body and he visibly gulped, "I want you so bad." His fingers grazed my bra before sliding down to my panties.

Is he talking about sex? Or just sexual acts?

"This is a dressing room. In a store." I said slowly. I swatted his hands away and he frowned.

"Ugh." Daimen groaned backing up and crossing his arms.

"Leave." I said turning from him and silently praying he'd go already. I felt my body freeze as he hugged me from behind his hands settling over my stomach.

He huffed before moving his hands and tugging me to him. After calming myself I elbowed him in the stomach. He groaned and let me go.

"Ow." He huffed and I moved away from him and shot him a glare.

"Why do you have to be such a pervert?" I asked and he shrugged and gave a smile.

"What? I took my chance." Daimen said and chuckled when I frowned.

"Fuck you." I snapped and he only raised an eyebrow. He was quiet for a while.

"I'll be outside." He said and slipped out of the room, shutting the door firmly behind him.

I let out a breath and reached for my clothes before slipping them hurriedly on.

What the fuck? What the fuck? What the fuck? I thought as I dressed and fixed my hair.

I decided to just put it behind me and with a sigh I walked out of the dressing room.

Daimen smiled softly and without a word we left.
