A/N; Moving to "M" in this chapter. Still don't own them, but if I did, they would have more fun than on the show.
Who am I now, Kate thought? Am I Kate or Emerald? I feel the persona of Emerald but I also feel the excitement and 'giddiness' of Kate. Maybe I can be both? I could be the outward appearance of Emerald and still delight in the adventure and discovery of Kate. Good idea she thought to herself, I'll be both.
Emerald scooted even closer to Rick and said, "I would like another tequila shot now. I think I want to keep this night going. What about you, Rick?" She looked up to him demurely through her dark eyelashes, daring him to deny he wanted it too.
Rick knew he had a real vixen with him. He wanted her with all his being, but would not do anything that would drive her away, even if this was only to be a one night stand. If one night was all he could have, he would gladly take one over none. He would have to leave soon to go back home (he did still have a daughter at home whom he loved and missed very much). However, he felt he was on a fast train heading to his future and had no way of getting off of it.
Did he really want to disembark the train?
Rick looked at Emerald and poured her shot for her. They had brought all the fixings from the club and now they were doing shots again.
Emerald was becoming more relaxed with Rick in his room. The couch was soft and cozy and Emerald was falling under Rick's spell.
After her second shot, he gently took her hand and raised it to his lips. Placing a gentle kiss on her fingers, he demonstrated what he thought of her by treating her as very much the lady. Emerald was enthralled with the homage Rick was paying. She snuggled into him and Rick immediately wrapped his big arms around her and held her gently but closely. He was content to just hold her as he was, but Emerald had other ideas. She had him in her web and was about to let Kate out to play.
Kate looked up at Rick and saw nothing but adoration in his eyes. She quickly was lost in his gaze. She reached up and placed a quick kiss to his lips.
Rick could not believe his good fortune.
"Emerald, I really want to love you tonight, but if you are not sure in any way, please don't feel like you have to do something you are uncomfortable with. I am fine to simply sit here and hold you for the night."
Kate answered this time, reaching her fingers into his soft perfect hair and pulled him down into a long searing kiss. Rick took the hint and returned the kiss, passion for passion. He was very quickly approaching the point of no return and needed Emerald to know. "If we don't slow down, I'm not going to be able to stop."
Kate purrs, "I don't want to slow down," as she kissed him again. She reached down and started to unbutton his dress shirt. He was in utter shock, the woman of his dreams, the forbidden Emerald, was undressing him in his suite in San Francisco!
What reality is this?
Kate smiled at Rick's unbridled nervousness and was secretly delighted she had this effect on him. She had wondered if she could actually excite him as she was doing now. Kate was not a virgin, but she was sure she was not as experienced as Rick. Rick was one of those guys whose age was not easily discernable as he took good care of himself. He, however, was definitely not a teenager, the only guys Kate had any experience with. She hoped she was doing the correct thing tonight, but since it all felt so right, how could it not be?
Kate had Rick's shirt unbuttoned now and was sliding it off his shoulders. She could tell he was becoming aroused since he was squirming around, trying to make room in his trousers for his arousal. She smirked at his discomfort.
Rick loosened his belt and Kate dived to the zipper, helping him out of his dilemma. Rick was the one being undressed and he felt a little uneasy about it. He was not naked yet, but was getting close, down to just his socks and boxers. Emerald was still wearing his shirt and whatever she had on underneath it.
He reached for the shirt buttons, but Emerald grinned and quickly skirted from his reach. She was the master at undressing herself and would remove her own clothes in her time and in her manner. After Rick had kicked his socks off, Kate walked over to the stereo and found some moody music. She turned back to Rick and smiled at him with the look of "Emerald in Charge".
At the club, it was never apparent how Emerald removed her clothing, but in the privacy of Rick's suite with the lights up, maybe Rick could find out. He always needed the story.
Kate glided out into the center of the room and started to sway, undulating to the beat of the music. She was more passionate now, maybe even a little slutty, dancing like a stripper and not the Emerald of the club. She started to unbutton her shirt, slowly, teasing Rick with every move. She danced with the bump and grind of a seasoned stripper, moving her fingers down the row of buttons until they were undone (as was Rick, by this time). Kate turned her back to Rick and peeled off the shirt, one shoulder at a time. She slid her arms from the sleeves, holding the shirt to her chest. Rick could tell she was wearing only her deep purple lace thong under the shirt since her back was bare. Kate turned slowly around to face Rick and began to tease him with the shirt. She casually allowed the shirt to slide lower with each bump and grind she made until finally, she raised her arms and dropped it completely.
Rick had seen her fully nude on several occasion at the clubs, but she stole his breath away when she dropped his shirt. She was a vision of loveliness, a Venus of desire who danced only for him. She stood once again, tall and proud and reached lazily for her thong, turning sideways and bending only at the waist, her ass high and taut as she slid the scrap of underwear down her straight long legs. She was still wearing her heels that made her legs seem to go on forever. Rick had nearly passed out from holding his breath.
Kate kicked her thong toward Rick and laughed as he lunged to catch it. She continued until he caught her instead, pulling her down on his lap. She grabbed his neck and kissed him deeply and passionately. He probed her lips with his tongue and she opened them for him before he slid his tongue into her mouth, dueling with hers for control. This time, Kate let him win.
Kate purred, "Rick, one of us is still overdressed," and she glided off the couch to slide his navy silk boxers off his legs. Finally, they were both nude.
Kate's breath caught in her chest when Rick's erection sprung into full view. She realized now that she had only been with 'boys' in the past, having finally met a man. Rick was long and thick and Kate was getting very wet from her own arousal, trying to imagine what the night would bring. She knew if Rick loved her as well as he treated her like a lady, her night would be one that would live in her fantasies forever. She stood up and pulled Rick from the couch, not feeling the least bit awkward with her nakedness. Rick had seen her nude before, but now she wanted to be nude just for him and only with him. She wanted him naked on his bed with her wrapped up in his arms.
After standing, Rick pulled her close; with her still in her heels Kate was nearly as tall as him. They both reveled in how well they fit together; matching pieces of a puzzle, both wanting, no needing, to find out what this unexplained mystifying attraction was between them.
Kate led him to the bedroom and pulled him down to her, not wanting to delay the sure gratification making love to him would bring. She was certain that the evening was going to be one she wouldn't forget soon, if ever.
Rick slowly caressed Kate's breast, laving it with his tongue while rolling the nipple of her other breast between his finger and thumb. Kate buried her fingers in Rick's hair, pulling him closer to her breast and holding him there. It felt so good. Kate was already very aroused and the electrifying shocks of his ministrations had her close to orgasm. All he would have to do was touch her nerve center once and she would be gone. And that is exactly what he did. He moved his hand to her thigh and slowly drifted higher, touching her once just where she needed it. Kate instantaneously convulsed and crashed into her orgasm. It wasn't waves, but a veritable tsunami of an orgasm that engulfed her. She was transported to a place where time and space did not exist.
What had he done to her? Spasm after spasm racked through her as she bucked into his hand.
Rick slowed his movements allowing her to come down from her high. Kate still wasn't sure where he had taken her, she just knew she didn't want to leave. Rick had taken her to a realm of infinite possibility, one where she was incorporeal, existing only as a disembodied spirit. She was somewhere unbelievable and she wanted to stay there.
However, Rick quietly called her name, "Emerald", and she slowly drifted back to reality.
"Oh my God", she exclaimed.
"That was amazing," they both said at the same time.
Once Kate's breathing had slowed to something approximating normal, Rick rolled over on top of her and kissed her gently again, all the while holding his weight from her. She needed to feel him press her into the mattress so she pulled him to her, relishing in his weight as he immobilized her with his bulk. Kate held him close and extended the kiss for what seemed like minutes.
Rick reached down and ran his fingers through her arousal, assuring she was still slick and wet for him. There never was any doubt. Kate lowered her hand and guided him to her center, leading him to her for their final act of love. "It's OK," Emerald whispered, "Clean, and on the pill." "Me too," Rick responded.
Rick moved gently, slowly sliding into her, stretching her as she had never been before. She gasped in the length and breadth of him. Never had she been so filled. She stilled his progress for a bit, allowing herself to adjust to his size but then she wriggled against him to let him know to start moving again.
Rick slowly slid nearly all the way out of her and then just as slowly back in. She once again gasped with pleasure at the fullness she felt as he pushed as far in as he could go. Rick was nearly overcome with how tight Emerald was, a velvet vise holding him firmly as he moved. She was exquisite, a living being made from the fabric of heaven.
Rick lifted her legs to place her knees over his shoulders, opening her more than she had ever experienced. This allowed him to deepen the penetration even more, causing Kate to moan in ecstasy.
Rick could feel himself starting to build and asked Kate, "Close again?"
"Yes," she whispered breathlessly. Kate now wrapped her legs around Rick's back, drawing him tightly to her to fill her completely. Rick sped up his movements, pushing into her faster and deeper as Kate met him thrust for thrust. Kate could only moan, all cognizant thought vacating her.
Rick was watching her, imploring smokily, "Open your eyes. I want to watch."
She did and he was immediately lost in the deep emerald of her eyes, almost black with lust, but still shining with the deep forest green which mirrored her and who she was and the necklace she was still wearing. When she looked at him with the passion and longing displayed in those pools of emerald, Rick lost it.
He pumped into her with abandon, spilling all of him into her. She immediately followed him, screaming out his name as she came; her orgasm more powerful than the last. She was lost, floating in a vacuum, gone from this world. She only existed, nothing else. They were adrift in each other's eyes, stripped as naked emotionally as they were physically.
Rick's spasms finally slowed, leaving him spent and exhausted, but fully sated. He had left all he was in this ultimate act of love. He was sure he could spend the rest of his existence proving to Emerald she was cherished and desired above all others.
Would he have the chance? He only could hope.
Rick and Kate drifted off into a deep sleep in each other's embrace, their arms and legs a tangled mess, both dreaming of the other. They lay in the bed, wrapped in each other as if they had been together for years.
Maybe they had.
Rick woke and reached for Emerald and found only a cold bed. As he rose to look around, he saw a note on the dressing table, obviously from Emerald. He reached for the note and read,
"I had to leave early. Thank you for last night, it was wonderful. I had a great time. Maybe again. I'm dancing tomorrow night, maybe just for you. 'Emerald'"
Rick was overjoyed; he would definitely see Emerald again. He wanted to see her now . . ., right now.
Rick has a couple of tour commitments early in the day of Jan 9, so he will wait until they are complete to call Emerald. He called after his commitments but she didn't answer. Phone must be off, he thought.
He trips happily to the club later that evening to watch her dance and to speak with her again. Hopefully, he will find out her true name.
Rick was devastated as she did not show up at the club. Rick thought it was strange since she had told him she would be dancing that evening and maybe a special one just for him. He was very disappointed to say the least.
Rick took out his phone and called the number Emerald had left him and it went directly to the network carrier, relaying the message the number is currently unavailable or out of network coverage. He calls again and receives the same message. He seeks out Flo and is informed Emerald called earlier and said she left the area and has no idea whether she will return or how to reach her. There had been a serious family matter and she had to return home to deal with it. Flo does not let slip that Emerald was sobbing on the phone when she called to inform them of her impending absence. No more information was forthcoming.
Devastation.
