After dinner, the whole family was in the living room with a ton of beauty products surrounding them. Holly was in the corner brooding over Mia. Everyone was loving her, and Holly just wanted the girl gone. Truth was, she was afraid Mia wasn’t good enough for her brother. No one ever was. It was ironic since he was the same way with her a few years ago.
The guys just stood with arms crossed, annoyed as they glared at their friend. Slade Logan was on for a world of hurt for going along with the girls to pull the plan together. Once Slade found out what Mia wanted to do, he was all for it. Anything to bug his friends. The whole crew was always playing pranks or doing things to mess with each other.
To push it further, Slade had set up a mini photoshoot in the garage where Wraith had a practice wrestling ring set up.
“This is going to be epic, Mia. The guys will look so pretty.” Slade taunted as he pranced around the guys.
In annoyance at Slade stirring the pot, Wraith leaped at him, going for his neck while Colt and Cyrus pretended to hold him back.
Slade ran behind Lilly’s chair, laughing hysterically. “Stand back! I think Lilly can take you.”
“I’m going to kill you, you little pipsqueak,” Wraith growled.
“Guys, relax. They outvoted me. The girls are mean and forced me to agree to this. I have to sleep with Candy. She won’t give me any happy-fun-time later if I don’t go along with it.”
“Slade, you are a dead man.” Gage glared at him. “You were supposed to watch them, not become one of the girls. I almost had them talked out of this.”
“Come on, Gage. You can get a princess makeover. You’ll look pretty.” Mia giggled, batting her eyes innocently. Cyrus just shook his head no. “Please, Cy? I’ll make it up to you later.”
Cyrus wiggled his eyebrows at her. “How?”
Mia winked. “You’ll see.”
Little Macy jumped up and down. “Princess, Uncy Wraith! Macy princess too.”
“No way, munchkin. Uncy Wraith is not wearing a dress.”
Macy pouted, looking up at him with big doe eyes. “Peas Uncy Wraith. Macy be sad.”
“Do you mean, please?”
“Yes. Peas.” Macy reached for Wraith, and he picked her up. She cuddled to him with the cutest smile. “Peas play with Macy?”
“Why are you so hard to say no to?”
“Wuv Uncy Wraith.”
“I love you too, munchkin.”
After about thirty minutes of coxing the guys, finally, they agreed to makeovers, if they showed the photos to no one.
Mia lined up all the guys in front of the camera, all dressed as the girls. The ladies dressed like the guys. Once in the dresses, the men all came out of the bedroom frowning. The women cracked up laughing once, seeing the guys trying to waddle around in high heels.
“This is humiliating” Gage dressed as Isis, in her BDSM collar and a leather mini dress, kept trying to pull down his dress. “Cyrus, I hate your girlfriend.”
Mia went over and cuddled up to his arm, smiling up at him with a cheesy grin.
Gage smiled a half-smile, looking down at her as she patted her hand on his bicep. “You’re lucky you’re so dang sweet or I’d drown you in the lake.”
“Well, I think I look pretty.” Slade flipped his pink wig over his shoulder, dressed as his wife Candy. “My butt looks great in this dress.”
He turned around, showing he shoved his dress up in the dress's top, exposing his bare ass, and wearing no underwear.
The whole group groaned. “Ew!”
“Oh, good Lord. Slade. Put that thing away.” Lilly was holding Macy and covered her eyes as everyone laughed.
Macy started giggling and pointing at him. “Slade stinky butt. He needs diaper mama.”
“He sure does, baby.”
“Hey, Macy! I don’t have a stinky butt.”
“Do too. Stinky butt.”
Even Holly gave a slight chuckle at the little girl. She wasn’t enjoying going along with this, but at least it was entertaining. She had the full intent of keeping her eye on Mia no matter what it took. Even if it meant going along with these shenanigans.
Wraith yanked at his wife’s bra bunched up under the dress. “This better not end up online or you’re all dead.” He adjusted his bra again. “How do you girls wear these things?”
Lilly started cracking up laughing at her husband. “Why did you wear a bra, you weirdo?”
“I thought we had to.”
Mia tried not to laugh. Big scary Wraith looked ridiculous in his wife’s dress as he pulled at his behind.
“These fucking lace panties are riding up my ass. Let’s get this over with. Lilly, the things I do to make you smile. I better get some pussy tonight.”
“Yes, papa bear. Whatever you want.”
“Mama. Uncy say bad word.”
“He did. Wraith, watch your mouth in front of my babies.”
Everyone burst into laughter when they realized he went full drag to make his wife happy. He was the only guy who had put on his wife’s undergarments, and he looked miserable. Wraith was always the one who took things a little too literally.
Cyrus came out of the room last with the dress he had bought Mia at the hotel.
“Wow! Cyrus, your makeup looks pretty.” Mia laughed.
Cyrus went over and grabbed her by the shoulders and rested his forehead on hers, frowning. “Sleep. With. One. Eye. Open.”
Mia bit her lip to try to not laugh.
“Okay, guys, photo time! Let’s head to the barn,” Lilly yelled.
Walking to the barn, Mia watched as Holly was glaring at her. She leaned into Cyrus to get his attention. “She doesn’t like me.”
“She’s just testing you. Ignore her.”
Once inside, they lined up to get photos taken. The girls were all dressed in their men’s ring gear and looked like badasses. The guys looked like very ugly, pissed off prostitutes getting their mugshots.
Mia, Lilly, Candy, and Isis almost fell to the floor laughing once the guys were all posed on the ring. Especially since Wraith couldn’t stop pulling at his underwear.
Holly just rolled her eyes.
“You all look like the mean girls at school who smoke behind the football field. Smile!” Isis joked as she snapped a picture.
“This is stupid,” Holly grumbled.
Isis scowled at her saying, “Stop being a stick in the mud, Holly. We’re having fun. Relax.”
Holly got angrier by the minute. “Don’t tell me to relax.”
Colt heard his wife’s remark and jumped down from the ring. He knew the tone and the words. He had heard them before. The next step was Holly’s temper ending in someone ending up with a black eye. “Five minutes, guys. Let me talk to my wife.”
Colt pulled her outside of the barn to get some privacy. “Okay, baby. What’s wrong?”
Holly paced around, kicking at rocks. “Who does that bitch think she is? I should…”
“Holly. You promised. No more fighting. You’ve been acting crazy since Cyrus told you that Doom is getting back together and he’s seeing someone.”
“It’s supposed to be me and my brothers. Not that heifer.”
“So that’s it. You’re jealous that she’s stepping in on your time with your brothers and leaving you out.”
“No.” Holly huffed, crossing her arms over her chest.
“Holly, baby. Be honest.” Colt went to her, smoothing her hair and kissing her forehead.
Holly instantly calmed down and snuggled into his arms. “I just wanted to have this time with my family. I’ve waited for years for this chance.”
“I know. You can still stay with my faction.”
“No. I want to do this horror circus theme. It was my idea, to begin with. I’ve talked about this for years.”
“Babe, you’re a fire-breather. They can’t do it without you. Cy and Wraith would never shut you out. Just try to get along with her for now. At least for the weekend, okay?”
“Fine. But I won’t like it.”
Colt smirked as he held her close. “Doesn’t surprise me. Come on. Let’s get these photos over with. I think I saw a new hammock out back with our name on it.”
