••••••Rachel POV••••••
“Welcome to my humble abode, make yourself at home. I’ll be right back.”
I barely heard a word he said as he slid my coat off my shoulders and hung it in a closet nearby. I was awestruck as soon as I walked into the door of his high rise condo. Excuse me, penthouse because he stayed at the very top of the building! I could could see the Chrysler Building and Grand Central Terminal close by. The lights and people down below made me feel as if I was watching TV because this couldn’t be real life! I made my way over to the floor to ceiling windows. It was late so being up high felt like we were on a cloud floating in the night sky. I felt like breaking into a chorus of A Whole New World. I didn’t realize I was staring until I felt a presence behind me. I turn my head to look up at Sam who was handing me a glass of water.
“This is great! Humble abode my ass”
I grinned taking a sip. His eyes sparkled with laughter.
“That’s not the view I wanted to show you.”
He laced his fingers in mine leading me away. My heart fluttered at the simple gesture. Eyeing his broad back as he led me down a hall to a room at the end. Right before he opens the door he gives me a wink and walks inside.
I can’t really see anything besides some furniture and his silhouette. I feel around the dimness in question, hoping I don’t trip and fall.
“Uhm Sam. What am I supposed to be looking at?”
“This.”
He grabs my hand and he pulls me to what I can now see is a blackout shade. I hear him press a button and my breath catches in my throat. It’s almost like I was flying as the shades came up into the ceiling and the skylight opened. My eyes opened in wonder as the whole city presented itself before my eyes. It was a little cloudy but the moon shown bright above us. If I looked far enough I could see the Empire State Building. It was amazing watching the city that never sleeps so high in the sky. His furniture was minimal, plants hanging and dim lights bordering the ceiling carefully decorated not to obstruct the view. The only big furniture being the round king sized bed in the middle of the room.
“It’s beautiful Sam.” I sighed, breathless at the view.
“Yeah... but not as much as you.” he replied standing there gazing at me with his hands in his pockets. I looked at him with a small smile. He strolled over to me taking the glass out of my hand sitting it on a table nearby. He grabbed my hand and lifted it to his lips. I watched as he closed his eyes, turned my hands palm up and inhaled deep while kissing my wrist. He opened his eyes and looked straight into mine. The hunger in his eyes speaking all the words he could have said, making me have a tight feeling in the pit of my stomach. It compelled me to grab his face pulling him towards me to taste those lips. I wanted to give him the same feeling he gave to me.
We fight for dominance of the kiss, neither one of us winning. I clench his bottom lip gently pulling then I run my tongue along to soothe it. I hear him groan in pleasure as he squeezes me tighter into his body. He massages my butt teasing me as his fingers play with the hem of my dress. I whimper as he breaks the kiss only to lift me up to wrap my legs around his waist. My head rolls back as his lips make contact with my jawline, nipping and sucking from my ear to my collar bone. I sigh as he flattens his tongue to take one long lick from my cleavage line to the tip of my chin which started another battle of the tongues. I felt his hand reach around my back to unzip my dress his other supporting me. I reach in between us and start to unbutton his shirt. As I got to the last button of his shirt I felt his pants button and my dress rose as I reached to undo that too. Both his hands returned to my behind as I was unzipping his pants giving it a firm squeeze earning a loud gasp from me.
We paused at that moment staring into each other’s eyes. The city lights and the moon shining down on us gave his milk chocolate skin a glow as if I was looking at a sculpted masterpiece. I ran my fingers on the border of his face and into the waves of his hair. He closed his eyes giving a shuddered breath at my touch. He opened his eyes and carried me into an adjacent room. Turning on the light he walked a few steps then sat me down on a ottoman. I looked around and saw I was in a modern bathroom. He walked to a huge jacuzzi tub that was big enough to swim in then filled it with water, oils, and bubbles. He kneeled down, without breaking eye contact, and took off my heels and stockings. Each touch feeling like a caress.
“Nice shoes.” He says with a grin.
“Back at you” giving him a wink.
He grabbed my hand helping me to stand up. He led me to the tub then faced me. He took my other hand that was holding my loose dress up and let it fall to my waist letting my exposed breast come into full view. I watched as the fire returned to those forest green eyes.
“I’ve waited so long for this moment and I’m going to make this a night we’ll never forget.”
