The Beholder's Eyes
Chapter 11
Mercedes walked into the hotel room as Sam follows behind her and closes the door and locks it. There it was staring at her, the one bed they would have to share tonight.
Mercedes: Sam I need to talk to you.
Sam: That's fine but can we get ready for bed first it has been a long day and a long drive. I just want to grab a shower alright?
Sam then kisses her on the cheek and starts walking over to his suitcase which is on the floor in the corner of the room. He squats down and opens it up and grabs some items out of it and walks toward the bathroom with items in hand.
Sam: Is it all right if I shower first?
Mercedes: No, I mean yeah, that's fine.
Sam smiles and winks at Mercedes as he enters into the bathroom and closes the door.
Mercedes is really starting to feel it now. That jittery feeling has intensified to the point that her body actually feels hot. She walks over and turns on the air conditioner.
Mercedes hears the shower turn on.
Mercedes: (Thinking) The fact that he is taking a shower now is a good thing. I can take one after him and by the time I am finished he could be sleeping already. I was a long day and a long drive. He has already had a nice meal and a hot shower he will be out like a light. I mean look at the time.
Mercedes scans the room until her eyes fall on the clock sitting on one of the nightstands.
Mercedes: 8:22pm; okay, maybe not. Well, Mercedes tonight may be the night after all.
Mercedes walks over to her own suitcase and starts to pull out something to sleep in although she was now rethinking the fact that she had brought this powder blue baby-doll night gown which kind of screams "Come and get me". Once she has found it she goes and sits on the chair and picks up the remote control to see what's on television. She flips through endless infomercials and different news broadcasts when one catches her attention. Mercedes sees a news reporter standing next to an ambulance as EMS workers are loading a stretcher into it, and on the stretcher was Kevin her ex-boyfriend! The camera then pans to a woman who is half dressed screaming as the snow is falling on her body, she has blood all over her hands, and the police are handcuffing her and starting to take her away. All the while the woman is screaming "YOU BROUGHT THAT 'TRICK' TO MY HOUSE! I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!" she shouts this over and over again. Then the reporter starts to speak about a woman who stabbed her boyfriend five times for cheating on her and bringing the mistress into her home.
Mercedes can't believe what she is seeing and hearing.
Mercedes: (Thinking) The woman who had been handcuffed and screaming was a lot thinner than she was! So what was Kevin's reason for cheating now; and in the same way? He brought someone to that woman's house too! I have been so afraid all this time that what he told me was true; that there was something really wrong with me, and that I couldn't really trust that anyone would really ever desire me. And then he goes cheating on another woman who is the exact polar opposite of me! In the exact same way! She's tall and real thin; that creep! That no good, lying, dirty, cheating creep!
As Mercedes pondered this some more she felt a weight lifted from her shoulders.
Mercedes: I was not the one with the problem! He was the one with the problem! I deserved to be loved, desired, and treasured and if he couldn't see that then, that was his loss, not mine! I believed those things he told me and now I realize it was all just a cover up for his lack of character and commitment! If I hadn't left when I did that would be me on the television with him instead of that other woman. I am perfectly fine the way that I am!
Mercedes hears the water turn off in the shower faintly in the background.
Mercedes: He had issues and he tried to make me feel like his issues where my fault! I was so afraid of being intimate with Sam because of him; he almost stole this moment from me as well as my self confidence. I am not going to continue to give you the satisfaction.
Mercedes hears the doorknob pivot on the bathroom door and the door opens.
Sam enters the room wearing nothing but a very small towel wrapped low around his waist, his hair was dark, wet, and slicked down. His abs were on full display and cut like diamonds; and his towel was so low that his pelvic bones were exposed on either side. Mercedes eyes trailed his every move.
Sam: I forget my pajamas. (He smiled)
Sam continued to walk back to his suitcase. He squatted down and rummaged through his bag once more until he grabbed some other items and then stood up. He noticed that the television was on and he spoke as he walked back to the bathroom.
Sam: Found anything interesting to watch? (As he walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind him)
Mercedes: (Who could not take her eyes off of him until the door shut and he was out of sight) Yes, I think I have! (Then she catches herself) Oooooh, you want to play dirty don't you playa! Ok I've got a little something for ya!
Mercedes gets up and goes back to her suitcase and pulls out a small case and holds it in her hands.
Within a few minutes Sam comes back out of the bathroom wearing pajama bottoms and a white T-shirt.
Mercedes: Is it my turn now?
Sam: Yeah, the bathroom is all yours.
With that Mercedes walked into the bathroom and shut the door.
Sam paces back and forth and quickly scans the room. He reaches for his wallet and places it on the bedside table.
Sam hears the shower turn on.
Sam: Should I turn the lights off? Why, I want to see her! Yeah, but you can tell she is the shy type, have some consideration; we can work our way up to a little lights on action later. She needs what she deserves. I want this to be perfect simply perfect. Sam then comes up with an idea.
Sam picks up the phone and orders room service.
Sam: I need a dozen red roses, candles, and a bottle of champagne sent up to room 2211 right now.
Desk Clerk: Yes, sir!
Sam still pacing starts thinking again.
Sam: (Thinking) What if she doesn't want to? (Sam's breathing became rapid) Oh dear God don't say that. It could be a real possibility though; and then what? (Sam slowed down his breathing by taking some deep breaths) If she doesn't want to, that's fine; I will wait (Thinking with a dejected feeling). It will probably kill me tonight; but I will wait! I love her and most of all what she has to understand, from this night, is how much I love and desire her no matter what. I really hope she wants to though.
Sam was so lost in thought he almost did not notice a knock on the door. Sam grabbed his wallet and opened the door. The bell boy delivered the red roses, candles, and the champagne and Sam handed him the ice bucket and asked him to run and fill it up down the hall which he did. Sam thanked him and then gave him a tip and the boy was gone.
Sam turned off the television and heard that the running shower had already stopped. He placed his wallet back on the night stand lit the candles and stuck the champagne in the ice bucket. Sam debates on whether or not he should be sitting on the bed or standing when she enters the room he opts for standing and looking out the window at the view.
Sam: That may not be too intimidating. (He thinks)
Now, he just had to wait.
In a few minutes Sam hears the doorknob turn and the bathroom door open. Not knowing exactly what to expect he freezes and decides it is best not to turn around just yet. Mercedes looks at the room and notices the roses, the candles and the champagne. Immediately her whole body warms in anticipation.
Mercedes: Sam, I have something to tell you.
Sam's curiosity is peaked but so is his worry.
Sam: (Thinking) Please don't say you don't want too! Please don't say you don't want too! (Speaking) What is it?
Mercedes: I love you with all my heart and I want you to make love to me tonight.
Sam spun around so fast that he accidently kicked the chair he was standing next to and it almost fell to the floor but he grabbed it. Once he set the chair right again he looked up to see his Mercy. She absolutely took his breath away.
She stood before him in the sexiest powder blue baby-doll night gown which clung to hips and peek a booed right at the tip of her thighs, and it definitely was higher in the back then it was in the front. Her hair framed her face in these magnificent wavy loose curls and her make-up was flawless. She was so beautiful. Then he remembered what she said.
Sam: What?
Mercedes: Sam, I love you. You told me that you would not make love to me until I could tell you without a doubt that I loved you, and that you knew that I could not say it to someone that I did not trust; and you're right, but I trust you and I love you. So I am asking you to make love to me.
Sam felt like he was going to faint. He had hoped it would go well, but he never expected this well; especially with him not even getting anywhere close to that spot behind her left ear yet.
Sam: Did you just say that you loved me?
Mercedes: Yes, I did. I love you.
Sam walked over to Mercedes grabbed her face in his hands and began kissing her. Mercedes, who was now completely surrendered to what was about to happen between them, started to enjoy the movement of his hands which were now sliding down from her face down her body. Sam continued kissing her passionately as he let his hands begin to explore this wonderland that he had only dreamt of hundreds of times before.
He did not rush this process he wanted to take her in completely; in his finger traced her collarbone as he traced it all the way down to the tip of her cleavage and then he stopped and looked at Mercedes whose head had slightly arched backwards to allow him access.
Sam: Mercy, I love you with all my heart.
Mercedes: Mmmm… (She nodded)
Mercedes just moaned her agreement as she grabbed his hand and walked him toward the bed and sat down. She reached over to take off his T-shirt which Sam took of in an instant and threw it to the ground. Mercedes started to untie the bow to the outer layer of her baby-doll gown when Sam spoke.
Sam: Allow me. (He whispered)
Sam starts to pull at the string as he nuzzled his head on her neck and started kissing her behind her left ear. He then extends his arms and drags the shell over the back of her shoulders and discards it on the floor beside the bed.
Mercedes slowly climbs back further on the bed and lies down as Sam overshadows her every move.
Sam: Do you have any idea how beautiful you are? (He says as he exposes her naked body by sliding his hands up her thighs and carefully drags her gown completely off)
Mercedes: Sam…
Sam: Mercedes… (He smiles as he begins to kiss one of her breasts and fondles the other one with his hand)
Mercedes responds to his every touch and eagerly reaches toward pulling off his pajama bottoms. They are also discarded along with his underwear beside the bed on the floor.
Mercedes: Oh Sam, uh (She moans and licks her lips) uh, I love you so much.
Sam continues his kisses all the way down her body stopping to nibble at her inner thighs. He moans in sheer delight as he continues to attack her body in a feeding frenzy of emotion and lust.
It is then that Mercedes speaks again.
Mercedes: Please Sam; don't make me wait any longer.
With that Sam reaches for his wallet and grabs a condom out of it and puts it on. Once he had done so he enters her. The movements are slow and deliberate at first as they consistently whisper each other's names with every moan. Sam who begins on top of her desires to watch his love from a better angle so he rolls over and places her above him. As he stares into her eyes she rides him as a well trained equestrian would. He reaches his hand up and tucks her hair behind her ear and drags his thumb against her lips. Unable to contain his passions he lunges forward to begin to suckle at her breasts once more.
Mercedes movements become faster and faster and their breathing become even more in sync; an explosion of ecstasy and emotion flood them both.
Sam: Oh, Mercy… Babe, I'm… I'm …. Sam wraps his arms under her arms and grabs her shoulders he clings tightly to her and moans loudly one last time.
Mercedes: Oooooh…Sam don't stop please! She shutters and then collapses over his convulsing body.
Sam and Mercedes cling to each other on their sweat soaked sheets and he speaks as he continues to kiss her over and over again.
Sam: Mercy, promise me you won't ever leave me. I love you so much; I cannot go back to life without you.
Mercedes: I don't want to ever leave you Sam; so don't worry.
Sam: Then that's a yes.
Mercedes: A yes to what?
Sam: I just asked you to marry me.
Author's Note: I thought the reason Mercedes did not want to sleep with Sam was a lack of confidence but although it was something he could have attempted to give her. I felt it was something that she needed to find within herself. Please Review- Thanks Anna
