Chapter 306

After slipping into the outfit, Shermaine checked herself in the mirror. The fabric hugged her curves so tightly that it practically invited nosebleeds. With the snowy bunny ears and fluffy tail, her usual pure beauty took on a seriously seductive edge.

She bit her lip, rubbing her forehead. She thought, ‘Maybe this is too cheesy. It isn’t my vibe at all. Even if Joshua’s into it, I can’t indulge every whim!’

Just as she started peeling off the costume, Joshua’s voice rumbled. “Sheary.” His tone was gravelly, thick with raw need.

He’d wrapped up work and come to grab his pajamas for a shower, never expecting to find her there in the bunny costume.

Her porcelain skin and killer curves looked dazzling, especially those legs. But there was something undeniably cute about her too.

And the stupid bunny ears and tail? They turned his gorgeous girl into a walking temptation he wanted to devour.

Joshua kept his cool, but his eyes burned into her like a furnace.

Shermaine turned, cheeks flushing pink to the tips of her ears at the sight of him. How had she not heard him come in?

But she was not a shy girl. She schooled her expression, acting totally composed.

“I need to change,” she said primly. “Out you go.”

Instead of leaving, Joshua shut the closet door behind him with a click, like he was afraid she’d bolt. “Wasn’t this little show for me?”

“You’ve seen it.”

“I have.” His Adam’s apple bobbed. “You’re stunning. Wanna kiss you.”

He said, “Remember when you asked what birthday gift I wanted? My present is right in front of me.”

Shermaine couldn’t ignore the heat in his stare. Her round toes curled involuntarily as she dropped her gaze, surrendering. “Come here.”

Joshua stepped closer, circling her waist. A sweet scent clung to her skin. “What bath stuff did you use?”

“Added some bath oil.”

“Smells amazing.” He nuzzled her neck, pressing his lips to her skin. His palms were burning hot.

Joshua kissed her collarbone, trailing up to her lips. He sucked her lower lip hard. “Love this gift.”

Shermaine smiled, looping her arms around his neck. “So you like the look.”

Joshua didn’t reply, but his needy kisses said enough.

Of course, he loved it because it was her in it.

He didn’t care about the bunny costume. He just wanted her.

He deepened the kiss, slipping his tongue in, his rhythm unraveling.

Soon her lips were swollen red, like a rose ready to be picked, tender and tingly.

Tired from standing, she murmured, “Pick me up.”

Joshua lifted her easily, cradling her legs, never stopping the kiss.

His hand tugged the fluffy tail, making his breath hitch. He held back, fearing he might go too far.

Shermaine rested her forehead against his. “It’s your birthday, so I’ll be nice.”
