Sinful Pleasures

Chapter Nine

I walked into a trail of rose petals that led to the bedroom. The room was also filled with little candles that gave off the only light. There were a few more petals that led to the bathroom. I saw that there was a glass of wine by the tub that was already full. There was steam rising from the water and I could already smell the oils that had been added. I had yet to actually see Damon anywhere. I started to strip and settled myself into the tub As I was taking a drink of the wine, I heard soft music coming from the bedroom.

Damon came in and sat on the floor by the tub. "I know this is a little cheesy, but I figured you deserved it after you first almost full week as the hotel owner. Not to mention, I hope it makes up for even a little of the bad day from yesterday."

I leaned over the side of the tub and gave him a kiss. "I already told you that I forgave you. Now, if you really want to make it up to me, then I suggest you join me in this very relaxing bath." I moved over enough to give him some space to get in. Thankfully, this tub had more than enough room for two people. He got in beside me, and quickly pulled me into his arms. He brought my back to his chest and I easily relaxed into him.

He started by running his fingers up and down my arms. He slowly moved them to my shoulders, where he massaged for a few moments. He then slid his hands to my chest, taking my n*****s in his fingers and lightly toying with them. I could feel them grow hard under his touch. His lips had found my neck and I let out a soft moan. I didn't realize he had moved one of his hands until I felt it trailing down my stomach.

He very slowly inched towards my sensitive c**t. I bit down on my bottom lip as I felt him skim his fingertips over it. He slid his fingers up and down my wet slit. He stopped right at my opening. I groaned, becoming impatient with his teasing. His mouth was still working on my neck when I suddenly felt his finger slide into me. He moved it in and out at a very slow pace. I started moving my hips against him and I felt 2 more fingers enter me. His thumb moved to my c**t and I could feel the heat flowing through me.

I bit my lip and dug my nails into his thighs. I could feel is erection growing into my back. I could feel my release getting closer, and decided that I didn't want it to be his hand that brought me over the edge. I quickly moved his hand turned to face him. I placed his rock hard c**k at my opening and slowly eased myself onto him. I threw my head back as I felt my walls tighten over him, sending a shiver down spine. I started to move slow, so that I wouldn't build too quick. Damon sat up enough to bring one of my n*****s into his mouth.

The sensation of his tongue on my skin was almost enough to take me over. I gripped his shoulders as I increased my pace. He moved his mouth to the sensitive spot on my neck and I felt my orgasm take over my body. I slammed my lips against his as he found his release. I kept moving my hips until I felt every last bit of ecstasy leave my body. He helped me slide off of him, and proceeded to lather me in soap. We both finally cleaned off then made our way out of the tub. Damon threw on some lounge pants while I put on some lacy panties and one of his old shirts.

Once we got comfortable in bed, I told him about how Mother was happy that I "made the right choice" in allowing him to be part owner of the hotel, and how she was leaving for Greece in the morning. He knew that Mother liked to travel more than she liked to be at home. He proceeded to rub my back until I felt my eyes close. I reminded myself that I just needed to make it through one more work day, and then I could have the whole weekend to myself. Well, Damon could be included as well.

I woke up sweating the next morning. I opened my eyes to see that it was because had basically his whole body wrapped around me. I never really realized just how warm Damon got, until we were under a thick blanket and he was practically on top of me. I managed to escape his grasp and make my way to my closet. I decided that Fridays should be a bit more casual. I opted for a pair of blue jeans, a black tee and black gym shoes. Casual and comfy is what I wanted to achieve. I pulled my hair back in a braid and made my way to the kitchen to get the coffee started. I made some eggs and bacon, then decided to get a cup of coffee ready for Damon. About 15 minutes later, he finally emerged from the bedroom. He had some sexy bed head going on and was still rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

"That coffee smells amazing. So does this food." He took a drink from his cup while I got him a fork for his eggs. "Since you are standing there in jeans, I take it that means I get to dress casually today as well?" He raised a brow, knowing that I have never dressed casually for work before. I always made sure my appearance wouldn't hinder my job.

"Yes, that is exactly what it means. I already sent a text to everyone else telling them to dress casual. I figured I would just tell you when you woke up, seeing as how you woke up in my bed." I smirked before picking my coffee back up. He rolled his eyes and finished his breakfast. I watched him leave me to get dressed, and I quickly rinsed of our plates and got mugs down to get more coffee ready. I was waiting in the foyer with our coffee when Damon finally finished getting ready.

"Do you have any plans for this weekend?" Damon glanced at me while he took a drink of his coffee. I shook my head and took a drink from my mug.

"I honestly hadn't thought about doing anything. Besides catch up on some sleep. Maybe go shopping for some decorations. It is almost fall. I was thinking of getting some stuff to put in the lobby. Make it a little more festive for guests."

"Why don't we go this evening? I don't have anything planned. Unless you would prefer the alone time?" He looked a little anxious, like he was afraid that I might not want him with me. He obviously still felt bad about how I found out about Samantha.

I rolled my eyes. "Tonight sounds great. I was planning on leaving the office around 2 anyways. I was going to have Samantha meet with Amanda to see what visuals she has for the client meetings next week. That way we can also be prepared."

"That sounds like a good idea. I was going to go down to the bar and go through their inventory with them. Make sure everything looks good." The elevator doors opened up and we walked down the hall to our offices. Samantha and Jonathon came down the hall at the same time. Damon told Jonathon about what he had planned for them to do. I told Samantha to find Amanda and Haley to see what visuals they had for the client meetings next week. I told her that she was free to go after she took some notes.

I went through my emails and found one requesting to rent out the bar for a private party. They wanted the bar next month to celebrate someone's graduation. I forwarded the email to Damon to see what he thought about it. I also decided to send it to Derek, to see if there was anything extra that they would need to do for such a party. About an hour or two later, Samantha sent me the notes on the visuals for the meetings next week. Amanda had chosen completely separate ideas for each event. She also had multiple ideas for the wedding, seeing as how we didn't exactly have a date for that one yet.

There wasn't much else to do in the office, so I knocked on Damon's door. He didn't answer, so I decided to try the bar, since he said they were going to go through the inventory. As I walked down the hallway, I could hear Amanda's voice. I couldn't tell if she was talking in person to someone, or if she was just on the phone. I was just about to keep walking when I heard an interesting part of her conversation.

Yes Ms. Drake. I will pass on your request to Blaire as soon as we end this call. I look forward to your visit to The Mark. Have a great day! Amanda turned around just as I was passing the door of the suite she was in. "Oh Blaire! Just the person I was looking for!" She met me in the hallway as she was sliding her phone into her back pocket. "Addie just forwarded a call to me because you didn't answer your phone."

That was odd. I pulled out my phone and saw that I had accidentally turned my ringer off. I in fact had a missed call and text from Addie, not to mention 3 texts from Damon. "That's strange. I somehow managed to turn my ringer off. I wasn't trying to eavesdrop, but I did catch a little of your conversation. Who exactly were you on the phone with?"

Amanda smiled wide. "That was Jennifer Aniston's manager. She is wanting to stay here for a week next month. She has meetings with some directors not far from here. I figured you would know which suites would be the best for her, if any were open during her stay, and that you could alert Derek. Seeing as how she is really famous. This could be huge for the hotel."

"Amanda, this would be great! Go ahead and email me the dates that she wants to stay. I will look at some things later tonight so we can get back to her quick. I am going to be out of the office for the rest of the day. You and Haley can head out too if you'd like. I was just on my way to find Damon."

"I will get you that email and be on my way. I will see you Monday!" She waved and made her way to her office. I took the elevator down to the lobby and caught Damon just as he was leaving the bar. He smiled when he saw me and met me halfway.

"Are you finished with inventory? I was thinking about heading out for some shopping." He kissed my cheek and gave me a hug. "Oh! You will never guess who just called requesting we block a room for them next month!" I knew I was totally starting to fan girl in the middle of my own lobby, but I didn't even care.

"I have no idea. Who wants to stay in our hotel?"

"Jennifer Aniston! Well, her manager called. But Jennifer Aniston wants to stay in our hotel for a week next month! How exciting is that?" I was bubbling with excitement. I was all but dancing in front of Damon. Having Jennifer Aniston stay here for a week would bring a lot of publicity to the hotel. This could help the hotel be desirable to everyone. I couldn't wait!

"Blaire, that is amazing! Did you tell her that wasn't a problem?" Damon looked almost as excited as I was. Although, I am sure he was just hoping to catch a glimpse of her in some skimpy pajama set. I can't say I would be mad though. She is gorgeous for her age.

"Amanda actually ended up taking the call because I managed to turn my ringer off. She is going to send me the dates that she wants to stay, and I was going to figure out tonight which suite would be best for her. I would like to get as much information together for her by Monday as possible."

Damon was nodding along with me in agreement. "That sounds great. Why don't we go do that shopping, then we can come back and get things situated for her stay?" I agreed to that plan, and we set off to find some fall decorations. A few hundred dollars later, we had some pumpkins and wreaths for downstairs. I also got a few hay bales to make a little focal point in one of the bigger areas of the lobby. I had Addie put all of the lobby decorations in the office behind the desk.

We took all of my personal decorations upstairs and started putting them out. After about an hour, we had everything where I wanted it. We sat at the counter and tried to decide whether the three bedroom terrace suite with the more feminine decorations would be better for our upcoming guest, or the five bedroom with the more lighter colors? We finally decided to just send her pictures of both suites and let her decide. Until then, I told Addie to just put both on hold until further notice.

Damon decided that he wanted to cook dinner for me tonight. I told him that I didn't want anything fancy, so we agreed on spaghetti. As he was setting the table, Addie sent me a text saying that Henry was asking to come up. I told her it was okay.

"Hey, Henry is on his way up. Just go ahead and set an extra spot at the table. Were you expecting him?"

Damon shook his head. "No, I wasn't. I take it you weren't expecting him either then. Any idea what it could be about?"

I thought for a minute, them brought my palm to my forehead. "s**t! I forgot that he asked me after Mother's dinner to be the financial advisor for the hotel. I meant to send him a text the other day when I had Lexi draw up his paperwork. That has to be what this is about."

At that time, the elevator doors opened and Henry entered into the living room. "Hey guys. Damon, I didn't realize you would be here. I hope I'm not interrupting anything?" He looked between both of us. Damon must not have filled him in on this last week.

"Not at all. I even put a plate out for you already. Get on over here. What have you been up to? How have things been at the firm since I left?"

Henry took a seat at the dining room table while I grabbed a bottle of wine and glasses. Damon brought the pot of spaghetti over and started dishing it out. "It actually hasn't been too bad. Some of your favorite clients were sad to hear that you left, but promised to book a stay here soon. I actually just came to ask Blaire about the proposal I gave her last weekend." He took a drink of his wine while he waited for my answer.

"Henry, I actually meant to text you on Monday. I already had Lexi draw up paperwork for you. All you have to do is fill it out, and you can start once you get the firm figured out. This has just been a hectic week." I rolled my eyes and picked up my glass.

"Well, do either of you want to explain to me why you are having what could be seen as a romantic dinner together? Did something happen this last week?" He took a bite of food and then washed it down with a drink of wine. Me and Damon both looked at each other, trying to get the other to explain. I must have won the battle, because Damon just rolled his eyes at me.

"Well Henry, Blaire and I have recently started to work through the heart break of our past. We have already hit a few bumps in the road just this last week. But we are pretty happy again. We haven't told anyone besides Lexi, and now you. I think we would prefer to keep it that way for a little longer."

Henry just looked from Damon to me, like he didn't quite believe what he was hearing. I wasn't sure how to take his response. Was he happy? Weary? Sad? Pissed? He was taking an awful long time to respond.

"Are you f*****g kidding me?"
