Chapter 9: A Bridge and a Butterfly
Betty snuck a glance at Daniel. Ever since they stopped talking about the craziness that is Renee, there was this silence between them as they ate their delicious food. It was obvious to her that Daniel could not take his eyes off her; it was very flattering and yet a little flustering. Her heart was fluttering about every time she peeked at him to catch him watching her. Those eyes of his were dangerous; it wasn't fair. He was way too sexy and it was starting to drive her crazy.
After several very long minutes of unquestionable silence, Betty broke "Daniel, will you come over here already?!"
Daniel looked at her "huh?"
Betty smirked "You've been staring at me. Sit next to me already before I explode"
Daniel grinned brightly and hopped up from his side and practically pounced on her causing her to laugh and slap his shoulder playfully as he peppered her neck with kisses. "Daniel, come on" she giggled.
He grinned looking at her face "I thought this was why you called me over. So I can tend to you" he wiggled his eyebrows playfully. Betty giggled, unable to keep from blushing "No, what gave you that idea? I just wanted you to sit next to me, that's all. Your eyes are like heat vision or something."
Daniel's grin seemed to be spreading. She blushed under his wolfish gaze. She was sure to lose any semblance of self-restraint by the end of the night.
"So" he looked to her; oh this was much worse she thought to herself. Having him look at her as he was sitting next to her? What was she thinking?
She looked at him "So?"
"You're just so gorgeous. I can't help it not to stare at you. I just want to run my hand through your silky sexy hair, and trail my fingers across your cheek, and tug on your bottom lip as I kiss you" he said in sensual voice that made her stomach flip, and gosh, he was making her breathless as she imagined him doing exactly that.
She took a nervous gulp and let his name out in a low breathless voice; saying his name that way must have turned him on because his lips were on hers in an instant making her heart erupt in her chest. Oh, his lips, they were perfect. His kisses were like launch codes that went straight to her soul causing her to want to be completely immersed in this beautiful man's love. She couldn't fathom the love and passion she felt from him; her Daniel.
She placed her hands to his face and parted from his lips desperately trying to catch her breath as she let her forehead rest against his. He seemed to be lost in her. He said her name in the sexiest raspy earth-splitting voice. "Bettyy"
Betty bit her lip to try to keep it together. She was very close to imploding from his love and attention. "Daniel?" she managed to say despite how badly her heart was racing. He let out a shaky breath as he said "yeah?"
Betty paused to catch her breath feeling flustered; he began to trail light kisses across her cheek that were unleashing a wave of melting tingles down her body. "I uh...wow, um...I mean, uh..." she moved back from him realizing them being so close was not helping her train of thought. "I was saying uh...I've been thinking...we should...do something for Amanda"
Daniel nodded absently, still in the fog of their overpowering passion. She hooked her arm through his and looked at his eyes. He seemed to come back down to earth and smiled at her in a most endearing way. He nodded again, but this time fully grasping the suggestion. "Actually, I've been thinking that, too."
Betty smiled looking at his eyes "we wouldn't be together if it weren't for her" she said feeling the butterflies. He nodded returning a smile "She's like our Fairy Godmother or something" he said with a smirk. Betty giggled
He laughed "this just proves that we're perfect for each other."
She looked at him, still surprised that this was all really happening between them. Daniel smiled and added "We are always on the same wavelength, in some way or another" he said with a chuckle.
She giggled staring at him. Daniel looked into her eyes, those eyes of his touching her heart. "Come on, I want to take you somewhere" he said as he got up and held his hand out for her.
"Ok" as she placed her hand in his, he said "unless you wanted to get dessert"
As Betty got up from the booth, she met his eyes and smirked at him "Why would I need dessert when I have you?"
He grinned at her causing her to smile bigger. He laughed - his laugh just doing something to her heart -and leaned toward her, his lips teasing her ear as he whispered "I promise I won't disappoint. I'll be plenty sweet" he said, then placed an extended kiss to her neck making her laugh "Daniel" she playfully patted his shoulder. "I'll be the best dessert you've ever had" he said and placed a few kisses to her shoulder. She blushed, her heart going crazy inside her. Oh, how was she going to make it? She was going to self-combust.
Daniel grinned as he stepped back to see Betty blushing. She was the cutest, most beautiful, and sexy woman he'd ever been with. "You're perfect." He placed a quick kiss to her cheek causing her to blush more. He grinned "Come on, we need to get out of here" he said just as he started tugging her along, but she grabbed his arm "Wait, the bill"
He nodded, and pulled out his wallet, then haphazardly threw several large bills on the table and began to pull her along causing her to laugh. As they left, the waiter thought they were 'dining for free' and tried to stop them, but Daniel kept running with her. When they were a block or two away, Betty slapped his arm "Daniel! I can't believe you did that. They thought we were stealing."
He smirked "Yeah, but we didn't, sweetie. There's probably enough money on that table for three dinner dates. Besides, I very distinctly remember hearing your laugh as we ran out, am I right?" He said with a grin, which caused her to blush. He shook his head "Now, come on, honey, I really want to take you somewhere." He said as he walked with her.
Betty bit her lip as they walked, feeling butterflies at his use of endearment. He must have not noticed, but she sure did. Very abruptly, she stopped in front of him and kissed him. He wrapped his arms around her pulling her closer and kissed her back. Oh, his lips were heavenly. It should be illegal to kiss as good as him. Just as he stopped his kiss, she placed another kiss to his lips quickly before stepping back.
He looked at her with this almost smug look. "Not that I'm completely flattered by your spontaneous kissing, Betty, but what was that for?"
She bit her lip, unable to keep from blushing as she reheard the terms of endearment in her head. He grinned "Come on, tell me"
She lifted her hand to his shoulder running her hand along to feel the fabric, more so as a distraction "You called me sweetie, and honey"
When she looked to him, he was smiling brightly. She giggled.
"You're freaking adorable. I am so in love with you" he said before he took her face in his hands and kissed her again. His sweet kiss made her heart flutter.
Daniel had never felt so happy to be with anyone in his entire life. Betty not only made him laugh and smile, she was incredibly beautiful and stunning. He couldn't get over how perfect she looked this evening. It really was as if Amanda were their special Fairy Godmother. Who knew that all Betty needed was a little fashion consulting from Amanda, and a boost in confidence from, well, from him.
He grinned as he moved back, especially when he saw the dazed look in her eyes. She bit her lip as she looked at him. Betty's heart was in a blissful state of complete perfection. Daniel telling her that he was so in love with her made her heart melt like ice cream on a hot blazing summer day. She felt like her heart was made up of leaves and they were soaring away in the wind from his kiss.
Seeing those dazzling eyes of his caused her heart to skip. "I have something for you, but I want to take you somewhere special." He took her hand and started walking with her. Several minutes and a cab ride later they were dropped off at a section of Central Park.
When they got out Daniel looked to her with a small smile before he took her hand in his. They strolled through for some time and when Daniel stopped walking with her, they were in the middle of a bridge that was over a moon-reflecting lake.
Daniel took her hands in his "Betty, I'm sorry we couldn't really hang out at our bridge tonight; I had wanted to give you my gift there, because, well, that bridge is really special to me, and...So are you"
Betty's eyes shined as she listened to him. Take it to Daniel to be romantic.
One would think she should know that Daniel was a Romeo from all the tabloids, news and her own personal experience in being his assistant and friend. She'd seen how sweet and romantic he was when he was with his 'girlfriends'.
But this was different; she was actually on the receiving end of his love.
"This will just have to do, though" he said as he started to reach in his jacket pocket. At first her heart jumped out of her chest thinking he was about to propose to her, but when she saw the jewelry box and he opened it to reveal the unbelievably spectacularly beautiful necklace that was inside, her eyes lit up and she gasped in awe.
"Huh! Oh, it's beautiful. It's for me?" she asked in surprise.
He nodded "Yeah!"
She looked at it in admiration as he held it up. The way the moonlight was shining on it and the diamonds were sparkling mesmerized her. "It's breath-taking." She looked to him "It must be so expensive"
He nodded, but shrugged "Well, yeah, it was, but...you're worth it, Betty"
She looked at him in awe, her eyes glistening.
He smiled as he looked at her "I know you love butterflies; I just wanted to get you something special and beautiful to further demonstrate how beautiful I think you are, and show you how special you are to me"
She bit her lip trying not to cry at how exceptionally sweet he was. She had already felt special way before she saw this beautiful necklace. He had no reason to really get it for her, but she thought it was so amazing. The only jewelry she ever got as a gift was her B necklace from her mother.
This was...amazing, and special, because it was from Daniel.
"Can I put it on you?" he asked as he held it up. She nodded and turned around for him. He brought his arms around her and lifted the necklace around her neck, clipping it in the back.
She was the breath-taking one, he thought. She smelled so pretty. And she just looked so incredible tonight. He couldn't stop staring at her. She was beautiful. He placed his hands to her shoulders, placed a soft kiss to her cheek and whispered "You're the breathtaking one, Betty" into her ear before he let her face him again.
Betty looked at Daniel in amazement. She felt butterflies from him. He made her feel so beautiful. She looked to the necklace, lifting her hand to it; a tear slid down her cheek. "It's so beautiful."
The pendant was a silver diamond encrusted butterfly that had open hearts in each wing. It was so extremely pretty.
She looked up at him again, meeting his eyes. He was smiling as he watched her. The look in his eyes made her heart skip. "I love you so much" she said as more tears slid down her face. He stepped closer and took her face in his hands "I love you, Betty. You believe me, don't you?"
She nodded, biting her lip, unable to stop the tears from escaping. "Yes, I do." She raised a hand to his face and pulled him down to kiss him. As soon as their lips touched, Betty felt static. Her lips were tingling; her heart was lifting as Daniel kissed her back holding her close to him. She grabbed him by his belt loops and pulled him closer to her. He let out a sexy groan in response. He was so hot; she wanted him.
Daniel had never felt so damn amazing as he did right now. It was one thing seeing Betty's eyes light up and shine like the bright and sparkling diamonds on the necklace, and to see that pretty luminescent smile of hers, but having her kiss him and hug him in such a sexy way was exceptional.
When she pulled back she placed a kiss to his cheek before stopping by his ear and said "Daniel, is there somewhere we can go?"
He moved back and looked at her with a grin.
She felt her face turn crimson under his gaze. He chuckled "You wanna have sex with me" he stated with a grin wanting to tease her a bit. He loved it when she blushed.
"Daniel!" Betty pushed his arm while blushing.
He grinned "What? Don't be embarrassed. Why wouldn't you? I'm a freaking catch!"
Betty bit her lip trying to suppress a giggle. His smile was beaming as he said "I'm pretty darn adorable"
She giggled, looking at him finding him pretty darn adorable at the moment.
"I'm really sexy. I have killer blue eyes." He grinned widely. She giggled as she listened to him thinking he was completely adorable, and gorgeous, and sexy. He was most definitely a catch. And he loved her.
He smirked "I smell nice, don't I?"
She giggled and nodded "You smell incredible. You have gorgeous eyes. And you are totally hot!" she said, the blush a permanent accessory at the moment.
He grinned brightly and placed his arm around her waist and leaned closer to her "Yeah, well, I'm not only all those things. I will make you feel like a queen." He said in his gravely sexy voice that caused a flurry of tingles to run through her body. "You're so gorgeous" he whispered to her.
She felt butterflies from his proximity and what he said to her. He placed his hand to her face, and smiled "If you remember, I also defended your honor. I would fight an army for you"
She looked at him with a sweet smile.
He pulled her to him and looked at her eyes as he lowered his voice "We have something special, Betty. Don't you feel it? Every time I'm with you it just enhances the chemistry and attraction I feel for you. All I want is to be, at least, even standing next to you, being near you, all the time. Your energy completely captivates me." His perfect words and the way his eyes shined as he looked at her hypnotized her.
"And the best reason why we should be together..." he grinned as he said that, but lifted his hand to her cheek causing her heart to start beating rapidly. He could see the affect his words were having on her. He loved her more than anything. He smiled and said "I love you" he leaned closer and placed a small kiss to her lips.
Betty looked at his eyes feeling so much love for him. Of course she wanted him. She loved him. He was incredible. What woman wouldn't want this man? Despite his dangerous sexiness and his charming eyes, he was so sweet and had such a big heart. And she was crazy about him.
However, it was really fun hearing him tell her the reasons why they should be 'together'.
Daniel stared at Betty feeling overcome with the passion he felt for her. She was so stunning. Those eyes of hers shining like the moon and the diamonds on her necklace, that perfect smile, her rosy cheeks, her silky pretty sexy hair, her face, her dress, her everything, he was crazy about her. He placed both of his hands around her waist and held her tighter to him and had his mouth near her ear as he whispered "Come on, Betty. I love you. You love me. Tell me how much you want me" his sexy voice and his request just did something to her. Betty moved back enough to grab his face and met his lips with a deep kiss. He pulled her closer to him to deepen the kiss. Goodness, she could feel how much he wanted her in his kiss.
She nodded breathlessly as she moved back "Ok, you're right. I want you! God, I want you!" she said before she captured his lips in another fiery kiss.
His hands traveled down the curve in her back and stopped just at her hips as his lips left hers and landed on her neck. "God, Betty, I love you. I want you, too. You're so intoxicating." He said, his voice giving her tingles, his scent completely captivating her, how hot and gorgeous he was broke her self-control; she was to the point of no return.
Daniel was pleasantly surprised, when he felt Betty's hand land on his backside and her lips stop by his ear as she whispered "I'm yours".
He moved back and grinned at her "I knew you wanted me." He laughed "Come on" he took her hand and started running with her.
She laughed finding him so silly and crazy, but the thrill made her stomach flip and her heart started to pound inside her like a beating drum. She couldn't believe this was happening.
Just as they ran out of the park, it started to rain lightly. Daniel stopped and looked to her. She looked at him curiously wondering why he stopped. He simply smiled and pulled her to him to wrap his arms around her, smiling rather brightly.
She looked at him wondering what was going on with him, and then he said "Rain is our good luck"
Betty bit her lip looking at him in admiration; he was so sweet. She looked at those mesmerizing eyes and said "I love you"
He gave her a quick kiss and before she knew it he grabbed her hand and started running with her again. He was a whirlwind of wonder. She didn't know what to expect from him. He surprised her countless times. She couldn't believe she was so lucky to be on the receiving end of his love. He was so sweet and romantic, and hot and sexy, and she was crazy in love with him.
Daniel felt like he was a being hit with a blizzard. The gust of emotions that hit him astounded him. He'd never felt this way before. He was happy, excited, and felt driven by love and passion. The desire he felt for Betty was unlike any other. He'd wanted girls before, but that was more for leisure and momentary satisfaction; it wasn't for love. Because, that it what Betty was and is: love.
As they ran in the rain they were fortunate enough that a hotel was fairly nearby and they didn't have to run in the rain for too long. Despite the short distance, they were dripping wet from the rain as they walked into The Ritz.
Despite the enthralling and extravagant hotel they both just walked into, Betty could not stop thinking about Daniel and how amazing it would be to be with him. She honestly couldn't think of a valid reason not to be with him.
As they got their room, they ran to the stairs to reach the elevators, Betty laughing at Daniel's haste; she felt as though she was in a dream and she was watching everything happen from a distance. When they got in the elevator Daniel grabbed her by the waist pulling her midsection into him and looked at her with this wanting look. She felt her stomach flip.
He ran his hand down the length of her body; making her shudder at his touch, even through her jacket. She felt like her heart was hammering away inside her chest.
Due to the rain her dress clung to her body. She could see that Daniel enjoyed this dress on her. He couldn't seem to take his eyes off her the entire night. That desire-filled look in his eyes did something to her. She'd never had a man look at her that way, as though she was really beautiful.
He smiled brightly at her and said "You're so incredible. You look so hot." As soon as the elevator opened to their floor, Daniel grabbed her hand and quickly pulled her along. She felt this insane rush.
Daniel felt so happy to be with Betty. She was a precious gem that could only be seen or held by those deserving of her. The fact that he was lucky enough to be with her, made it that more special. He wanted her to know how much she changed his world, brought so much light and love into it, and give her that same love.
He felt this inane rush as he looked back at her as they reached their room. She looked way too stunning. The way her hair was clipped, shining and wet, and strands in her face, the thrilled smile gracing those beautiful, perfect lips, and the sparkle in her eyes made his stomach flip. Her laugh snapped him out of his trance "Daniel, come on. It's cold out here" she said with a giggle that warmed his heart.
He grinned and opened the door for her. She walked in and was immediately awe-struck by the grandness of the room. "Wow, this is incredi-" before she could finish her sentence, he turned her and pushed her against the closed door causing her to gasp in surprise as he pinned her hands just above her head. He felt so turned on, thinking about the first time he kissed her in his office.
He felt such a thrill kissing her; those sexy pouty lips, so red and tempting; the dazed look in her eyes. She was so hot.
He was snapped out of his trance, yet again, by her taking his face in her hands and capturing his lips in a deep kiss, taking his breath away. She slipped her hands down his face to his shoulders to push the jacket down from his body. He didn't want to let go of her, even for her to take off his jacket.
Betty had never had someone kiss her the way Daniel kissed her. She felt so intoxicated by him and his kisses. She was a little annoyed that he didn't let go of her hands even so she could remove his jacket, so she decided to tease him.
She stopped kissing him and had her lips next to his ear. "You're sooo sex-y, Daniel. I can't wait to touch you" she said in the most sensual voice she could. He let out a shaky breath and his hands loosened around her wrists; she slipped her hands away and brought them to his face and captured his lips a blazing kiss. He groaned and started to remove his own jacket. She inwardly squealed in excitement. Her plan worked.
She let her jacket fall down off her shoulders as they continued to kiss. She kind of wanted to tease him some more, so she placed her hand to his chest and pushed him back. He looked at her with a curious smirk.
She smirked and picked up his jacket from the floor, put it back on and started to walk in the direction of the bedroom. She realized he was still standing by the door. She looked back at him "Aren't you coming?"
He grinned brightly and ran over causing her to laugh, and when he reached her he placed a few playful kisses to her neck making her laugh blissfully. He rather swiftly lifted her in his arms causing her to squeal in surprise. She laughed when he dropped her on the edge of the bed.
Daniel could not be more in love with any woman as he was with Betty. She made him feel amazing, and invigorating. And she was sexy as all hell. He couldn't wait to make love to her, to touch her beautiful skin, to kiss every inch of her body. She was breathtakingly beautiful and hot. He smiled at her as he tossed his tie to the floor.
Betty's heart was hammering away inside her chest. She was in awe that this was happening between them. She couldn't feel more right than to be with Daniel. Seeing him start to unbutton his shirt in this way was so sexy. She couldn't wait to run her hands along his chest. She bit her lip smiling up at him as he unbuttoned his shirt.
The look in his eyes intoxicated her; she felt drunk off his gaze. Daniel had never felt so turned on and enamored in the same moment. But that was Betty. She was uniquely sexy and adorable in one sweet bundle. That smile of hers just made his heart race.
When she started to move up the bed the electrifying look in her eyes and playful smile on her face lit his heart on fire. She lifted her hand up and took a clip out of her hair tossing it somewhere in the room; and holy good God the way her hair fell down her face had to be the sexiest.
"God, you are so damn sexy, Betty." he got on the edge of the bed and as he moved over her he glided his fingers up along her leg making her shudder as her eyes closed in response. He placed a few kisses up her leg, as he continued to glide his hand up her body.
When he was face to face with her, she opened her eyes and those beautiful eyes that met his melted his heart. He smiled and before he knew it she wrapped her arms around him and kissed him.
Daniel wrapped his arm around her and started to unzip her dress while she was still wearing his jacket. He'd never had someone wear his shirts or jacket before. It was insanely hot to think of her in only his jacket. He ran his other hand up her arm and reached her cheek. She met his eyes and smiled at him, her eyes shining. He could feel her love from her gaze. She was so beautiful.
Betty's heart was thumping about wildly. She couldn't stop it. As she looked into Daniels' beautiful dazzling eyes, she felt so much love and happiness. Daniel was right, they were meant to be together and nothing was going to come in between them.
As Daniel slipped her dress down, her heart jumped crazily in her chest. When his eyes scanned her body, she felt like his eyes were touching her very soul; sending a blazing desire through her.
Daniel looked at Betty in reverence. She was so breathtakingly beautiful. Seeing her beautiful perfect body in the red lacey undergarments and in his jacket made his heart lift, strangely. He still couldn't fathom how he felt both this insane heart-filling love for her, and yet still feel so turned on and hot for her all in the same instant.
He looked at her eyes and smiled at her "You are so so freaking beautiful, Betty. I'm going to worship you" he said in that voice of his.
Betty's heart erupted at Daniel's amazing words. She felt tears fill her eyes; all the love and passion exploding within her as she captured his lips in a kiss.
