Immediate Danger
(Chapter Eleven: Tender Kisses)
It was just after nine o'clock as Olivia re-applied her lipstick and checked her hair in the ladies room mirror before returning to the table. Nick looked particularly handsome in a suit and tie. They had talked about going to see a movie and then having dinner, but Nick called her and changed their plans earlier that day. So here they were in a fancy romantic restaurant eating caviar, drinking champagne and dancing to romantic music. This was the place he had taken her two months earlier on their first date, although it seemed much more romantic now that they were actually a couple. Olivia had something important to tell nick tonight and this place was exactly what she needed to give her the confidence to tell him.
Olivia stopped on her way back to the table just to stare at him, he was a vary attractive man she thought smiling to herself. She took a deep breath and approached the table. Before she could sit down Nick stood up and pulled her chair out for her. Olivia smiled and stared at him with loving eyes.
"Have I told you how beautiful you look tonight?" He said with a smile.
"Twice," she replied with a grin, "but I like hearing it."
"Dance with me," he said taking her hand in his from across the table and standing up. "I want to show you off, make all of these other guys jealous."
Olivia was not used to being showered with this much attention from anyone. Normally it would make her self conscious and uncomfortable when a man commented so much on her looks, but not tonight. She was finally in love, finally happy and she wanted Nick to feel the same.
Nick held he close to him as they danced to soft, slow romantic music. Olivia closed her eyes and nestled her head into his shoulder, it felt so good to be held. She couldn't remember the last time a man made her feel this way.
"Olivia," Nick whispered in her ear softly as he drew her arms up around his neck.
"Yes," she almost cooed as she looked up into his green eyes.
"Kiss me," he said raising her chin with his thumb and leaning into her until their lips finally touched.
They had shared many kisses before, but none like this. The power in this kiss was like nothing she had ever experienced before. Olivia knew then that there was no way she was wrong about the way she felt about him. This was it! She was in love!
The cab ride back to her apartment was a quiet one. They sat in the back seat as he held her hand tight in his and just stared into each other's eyes. They both knew what they wanted. And Olivia had never wanted anything more. Nick walked her to her door and kissed her goodnight. But they couldn't seem to stop kissing.
"Olivia," he said as he placed his jacket around her shoulders and leaned in to kiss her again. Nick leaned her back against the dark brick of the building and kissed her again. "Baby, I should go."
"No, you should stay," she said softly gazing into his eyes. "Come up for a while."
"Really?" He said smiling at her.
"Yeah," she said softly.
"Give me a second," he said raising her hand to kiss it then walking over to pay the cab driver.
Olivia held him by the hand and lead him up the staircase to her apartment. Inside she opened a bottle of wine and poured two glasses. Nick sat down on the sofa as Olivia turned on some music and kicked of her high heels. She lit a few candles around the room and dimmed the lights then handed him a wine glass and sat down beside him. She took a drink for courage then sat her glass on the edge of the coffee table.
"I'm glad you decided to come in," she said smiling at him.
"So am I," Nick said seductively as he placed his glass on the table beside hers and leaned in to kiss her again. His kisses were strong and tasted like wine, Olivia wanted more. Before long found herself underneath him on the sofa kissing passionately. She ran her hands under his shirt to feel his abs as she trailed kisses down his neck, then moved her hands around to his back and ran them down the strong muscles she found there as well. Nick slid his hand up the outside of her thigh and under the edge of her skirt. Olivia felt her hand push his back down her leg as she kissed him again. She moaned quietly as he playfully bit her earlobe and growled in her hear. Olivia unbuttoned his white shirt and slid it off into the floor. Nick rand his bingers through the dark hair around her face, then took the clip out of her hair and dropped it to the floor. He kissed her so passionately as he ran his fingers through the wavy locks of her hair. Olivia ran her hands up his chest and pushed him upward to look into his eyes.
"I really want this," she whispered playfully.
"So do I," he replied and she knew this was it.
"Nick," she almost moaned as he nibbled on her ear again.
"Yeah," he said staring into her eyes. Olivia raised up to kiss him, then turned her head as if motioning toward the bedroom.
"I don't want to do this here," she panted.
Nick sat upright on the sofa to catch his breath. Olivia still laid there looking up at him, then she sat up as well. He stared at her as her hair fell down around her face.
"You are so beautiful," he whispered as he held he hands in his and brought them both to their feet. "I am the luckiest guy in the world," he whispered as he leaned in to kiss her tenderly on the lips.
Olivia took him by the hand and lead him down the hallway to the bedroom.
