I don't own VA…
Chapter 7: Picture This
"You're poking my eye!" I screamed as my stylist/makeup artist as she applied mascara on my eye lashes.
"Sorry, sorry. But please stay still," came Allette's accented voice.
"Allette, what is the color of my dress? Do you know the color of my crown?"
"That is something I do know, but can't tell."
"Oh come on!"
"You'll see soon enough, Rose. Now, don't be impatient. And please sit still. Your prince is going to love you when I'm done beautifying you."
"Is he allowed to come in?" I asked a couple seconds later.
"Are you referring to your prince, Ms. Rose? If so, he is now standing right here."
I popped my eyes open so fast Allette poked me in the eye with the eyeliner. Adrian was standing. . .no—he was leaning against the dresser of the suite only in a pair of black slacks. No shoes, no shirt, and definitely a problem with a the now huge arousal coursing through my veins by just the mere thought of him. "Rose, darling," Adrian began, his voice imitating Allette's accent quite perfectly. "I have something for you."
"Adrian," Allette warned. "She's not supposed to see any of her gifts just yet."
"Gifts?" I asked getting a little excited.
"In my hands there are no gifts," Adrian explained. "But Rose, my dear, please close your eyes."
I closed my eyes, not because he asked, but Allette really wanted to finish my makeup.
"Open your mouth," Adrian commanded.
"You better not be putting something disgusting in my mouth," I warned.
"Bite," Adrian commanded.
I took a bit and the flavor of the chocolate covered strawberry exploded in my mouth. "Mmmm….so delicious!"
"I think I might walk out of the room, since chocolate covered strawberries are aphrodisiacs and all. I don't want to watch while you two ravish each other," Allette muttered, a little teasing in her voice. The teasing stopped when she glanced at the time. "Shit! Adrian, get yourself inside your suit. We have only thirty minutes before they are here to pick you up!"
Allette was kind of scary when she was pissed. Adrian scuttled to the living room and started dressing himself. Meanwhile, Allette finished coloring my face. After three minutes, and three strokes against my lips with a brush, Allette smiled with satisfaction. "All done. I outdid myself this time."
"Well, time to slip into your dress, Rose." Allette helped me up and dragged me inside the bathroom. I cringed when I saw the color of the dress. Turquoise. It wasn't my color. But somehow after Allette had helped me into the dress, I was loving it on me. Hanging from my neck, and forming a V on the chest that exposed a little extra of my cleavage. It hugged my curves just about perfectly. Just above my right knee, a large slit from my knee to heel showed the skin of my right leg.
Adrian was already dressed in his suit when I walked out of the bathroom. Standing in all gray, eyes almost falling off their sockets at the sight of me, the turquoise shirt really making his eyes stand out, he looked damn gorgeous! He could have easily made it into those fashion magazines with sexy male models whom you just wanted to "ravish."
"Fuck your sexy," I said cursing my mouth for not keeping my thoughts inside.
"So says the woman that caused me a hard one. If this wasn't our coronation, I would keep you inside this room."
"Enough with the sexual fantasies. You've got places to be," Allette commanded almost shoving us out the door.
"I wasn't kidding about keeping you locked up in the room," Adrian said, taking my hand in his and helping me walk down the hallway to where the elevators were located.
"Well, you might get just that."
"Oh, fuck, Rose." From his tone you could conclude he was really turned on. "Give me several reasons why I shouldn't just push against the wall, lift the dress a little ways, and take you?"
His words created a pleasurable image in my head. I had fantasized this not so long ago.
We had stopped walking and now we were facing each other. "Better yet, why don't you?"
And he did push me against the wall, forcing our lips together. I could feel his hands on my thigh. I brought my hand around and grabbed a handful of his hair, pulling his face down towards my neck. I bit below his earlobe and he shivered against him.
"Not here," he whispered, giving me one last kiss. "Later tonight."
Like nothing had happened, we started walking once more.
What the hell had just happened?
I have no clue. I just hope he keeps good to his promise of later tonight. . .
After the coronation, Lissa's party was totally upbeat. Freaking amazing. In a matter of minutes, the banquet room was turned into disco/nightclub type of place. All the older adults had been subtly "kicked out." The bars, the lights, the music, the whole atmosphere was a lift of spirits for anyone who had been a little saddened before. I sure as hell was having fun. And the guy standing next to me was sure as hell fun to party with.
I had ditched the crown a couple of minute ago. Too bad I couldn't do the same with the heels or the dress. I was much more comfortable partying in jeans and t-shirt.
"For you, princess," Adrian said, leaning over and handing me a cup with a bluish liquid.
I peered at him with distrust. "You didn't put anything in here, did you?"
"Why would I do such thing?" He cracked a grin. "Besides, you're already laying in my bed tonight."
Smiling before shrugging, I tossed the drink back and relaxed.
About three hours later, and some drinks, Adrian loosened his tie and threw it around my neck. He pulled my face close to his and planted a chaste kiss on my lips. "You're coming with me." Still with the tie, he dragged me outside the banquet room.
"I didn't know you were into the kinky, lover of mine," I purred, running my finger over the bare skin exposed because of the few unbuttoned buttons of his shirt.
"I'm into lots of things, Rose." He leaned down and put his lips to my ear as if he wanted to share a dirty little secret. "I am into you, Rose."
I pressed against him. "I'm into you, Adrian."
All of a sudden, he grabbed my hand and we started running. I didn't know where he was taking me, but we found ourselves in the valet of the hotel the party was being hosted at. Adrian and I waited several minutes before the driver of the Rolls Royce was opening the doors for us. Adrian pulled me inside the car with him.
"Where to, sir?" The driver had a sexy accent, one I couldn't indentify.
"Venetian," Adrian told the diver.
"Why are you taking me back to the hotel?" I hoped my voice didn't show just how much I wanted to go to our suite and ravish each other under the sheets just like Allette had said earlier and I had a feeling more chocolate strawberries with some champagne would be needed this time. But I knew my thoughts had been put into my tone. Adrian knew it too for he smiled a little devilishly.
"We, my dear Rose, as in you and I," Adrian began, removing the diamond barrette from hair that held together the elegant bun Allette had put my hair into, and letting locks of my hair fall over my shoulders, "are going to go back to the hotel and have fun."
Even the driver sensed the sexual tension as he opened the door for us when we arrived to our destination. He even gave a mischievous grin towards Adrian's way as he helped me out of the car. I watched Adrian rage with jealousy as the driver's hand roamed a little extra time on my skin.
Tossing my hair aside, I began walking towards the lobby. Too soon, I was being dragged off to a different direction. I had thought he wanted to drag me to our suite and lock us in for a couple of hours, but that wasn't the case. He gave me a dirty smile when I tried to pull him back to the direction of the rooms.
"No can do, love"—my body responded in all the right ways when he called me 'love'—"but you and I are on a date tonight. A romantic date."
"A romantic date?" I questioned. "Since when are you a romanticist? I thought you were all for the 'fast fuck and done', not the 'love slow and make it last.'"
"With other woman, it's the fast fuck. But with you," Adrian paused, staring into my eyes as to make the words he was going to speak more serious, "I want to make it last." I choked up at his words. I couldn't believe he still wanted me after I treated him so bad, after I broke his heart. Wanting the same as he wanted, wanting to make it last with Adrian, I threw both of my arms around Adrian's neck and pulled him down towards, my urgency to take him back to my room very urgent.
"I want to make it last too," I finally whispered.
A content smile adorned his face when I finally pulled away. We started walking again. I realized now we were walking towards the line to ride the gondolas. The hotel Adrian and I had chosen to stay in had many amenities, all that went with the name "Venetian," just like the town in Italy. The gondola rides were just a plus of the many pleasantries of the hotel.
Adrian and I took a gondola and it took us around the hotel's bridges and waterways. It was beautiful. A couple, recently married from Australia, sat on the other side of the gondola. They were adorable together, and after me telling them how good they looked, the woman asked if Adrian and I were a couple.
"You would look great perched on his arm, and I would bet a fortune your babies would be beautiful," the woman kindly said in her awesome accent.
I blushed a little at her comment and Adrian nudged me with his arm.
The couple made a little extra small talk with us before turning their attention to the wonders of the hotel. The gondola ride took us around the Venetian. It was like we were in Italy physically, enjoying and marveling over the wonders. There even was a man standing at the edge of the gondola playing an accordion just like they would in Italy.
"You like this?" Adrian asked, though he had no reason to. My face showed my excitement.
"If this is just some replica of Venice and I am liking it, I imagine going to the real Venice and loving it."
"I promise to take you to Venice one day for a romantic getaway, just me and you."
"And you could continue your delusional ideas of romanticism," I said, rolling my eyes.
"Somewhere, deep inside me somewhere, there is a good boy." Adrian smiled, but mere seconds later he frowned. "You're too far away from me." Before switching his frown to a satisfied grin, he threw an arm around me and tugged me closer to his side. I craned my head backwards and looked at him. He brought down his head closer to mine and teased my lips with his own.
"I like this," he commented as soon as he pulled away from my lips. "The quiet. The calm. No problems. No hassles. And even better, the woman I deeply care for by my side."
I couldn't quite figure out how many emotions sparked on the date with Adrian. But one thing was for sure, I loved Adrian. After the gondola ride, he took me to different places around the hotel, almost to every store on the second floor. The best place he took me was to the "romantic waterfall" in the center of the casino, lobby, and shopping area.
After he bought me a bowl of frozen yogurt fixed with real fruit and candies, he dragged me to the waterfall.
"What a romantic date you have take me on. I love the places where you have taken me, but can I choose the next destination?"
"Where would you want to go that we haven't visited?"
"Oh, you'll see." My voice held a hint of promise.
I took a spoonful of my yogurt. "Why aren't you enjoying these sweets like I am?" I frowned, taking a spoonful of yogurt and leading it to his mouth. He kept his lips closed. "If you open your mouth, I will reward you with a little something."
That peaked his interest. "With what?" I shoved the spoon in while he had his mouth opened. "With this," I said, kissing his lips, shoving my tongue into his mouth.
"I like the reward. Are you done?"
I tossed my bowl in the garbage and took his hand. Almost immediately, he started dragging me away.
"No. . .I choose where we go this time, remember?"
"Okay, where could you possibly want to take me?"
My answer was simple and short, but the tone was filled with huge seduction, "To our room."
There was no holding us back now. We were going to have one another. We were going to have one another. . .tonight.
As soon as the door to our room opened, the actions started. We wasted no time.
Those hands, with such graceful fingers were at my thigh, sliding, hardly touching my skin, but making just enough contact that sparked very intense pleasure throughout my body. Setting my love for him aside, I really, really wanted Adrian. I didn't just want him close; I wanted him close enough to be connected, joined as one.
I couldn't stop the dark shiver of pleasure that overtook me.
I grabbed the glass in Adrian's hand, the one he had gotten on our way here when he decided he needed a drink, and threw who knew where. I heard the faint crash as it cracked in several pieces. Adrian suddenly caught on, knowing exactly where I was and where we needed to go. Hell, there would be nothing stopping us tonight. Adrian had wanted me for so long—and fuck I needed him right now.
I landed on the bed about three seconds later, him landing right on top. Adrian attacked my lips before we actually threw ourselves on the bed. Adrian made no move to unclothe me, but that sure as hell wasn't stopping me from stripping him naked. He was devilishly sexy, and I could bet my life he tasted as good as he looked. The sweet-tasting kisses of his were proof enough.
Downright ecstasy.
When I was finally naked, Adrian reached around on the side of the bed where I had tossed his pants. He pulled out a square package. "Look," he said, tearing the package. "I learned from before."
"Did you know this was going to happen?" I asked, as I waited impatiently for him to ready himself to mingle with me as one. "Hurry, please."
I wanted him to take me as fast as he could. I practically forced him to do anything my mind came up with. I wanted him so badly.
"Rose, please," he whispered.
"What? Don't tell me you're backing down."
"No, I can't back down now."
"Then what?"
"I want to take it slow. This is the first time happening between us, and I want to enjoy it. There is no time like the first time. And besides, we have no rush."
Slow we did take it.
And we enjoyed ourselves.
But it wasn't long before we both exploded in a heat of fiery passion.
Well, there you have it. Hope it you enjoyed the reading!
Anyway, what shall happen next!
Tell me the thoughts on the chapter!
Take lots of care
