The Reunion, The Visit, and The Grand Charade
Chapter 12
They got to the penthouse and moved directly to the bedroom. "I'm going to have a quick shower, Niles."
"Alright. I'm exhausted. We're supposed to meet Becky and James for breakfast." Niles tossed out as she made her way into the bathroom this time the door remained ajar. "CC? You forgot to close the door."
Niles moved to close it when he heard her say, "I want to make sure I can hear if Becky comes around and tries to seduce you again." Niles stopped dead in his tracks but before he could respond he heard the water start and CC whistling.
"Well Chastity Claire, you're just full of surprises." Niles thought for a second then strode into the bathroom keeping his eyes averted from the shower. "Should I join you? That could speed things up…or slow them down." Niles grinned when CC's whistling stopped. "Well, maybe some other time." Niles closed the bathroom door as he left.
"What in the hell just happened?" CC thought to herself standing in the shower. Her eyes grew big at the realization. "He heard what I said to Becky? But he didn't say anything this morning. I wonder why? Oh come on, CC…you didn't say anything about what you overheard last night either…until just now. Why can't we ever just be honest?" CC went on with her shower.
Niles changed into his pajamas and sat on the bed with his book, thinking far more than reading. "I wonder why she didn't say that she'd overheard the business with Becky before. I just didn't think she'd believe me. And as for what she said, well…I just didn't want to embarrass her…I know she wouldn't really…would she? Why can't we stop playing these silly games?" Niles went back to his book.
When CC came out of the bathroom, in her lovely peach pajamas and her hair wrapped in a towel, she stopped and looked at Niles. He was leaning back against the headboard of the bed, he legs crossed at the ankle reading his book. "He looks just like he belongs there." She thought. "Hey you…"
"Hey yourself." Niles responded not looking up.
CC took the towel from her hair and pretended to dry it a bit. "What are you reading?"
"The Partner by John Grisham…it's about the pursuit of millions stolen by a Mississippi lawyer who was supposed to have died and been cremated but is actually hiding in Brazil." Niles answered still not looking up.
CC nodded and decided that she was slightly annoyed at his lack of attention. "Niles?"
"Mmmm?" He answered, still not pulling his eyes from the book he's merely pretending to read, waiting to see what the beautiful blonde is planning.
CC's most evil grin spreads slowly across her face and she snaps the side of his rear end with her damp towel. "Ow!" Niles finally looks up from his book. "What the hell was that for?"
"You're ignoring me, Niles." CC actually pouted.
Niles frowned and tried desperately not to smile at how incredibly lovely she looked when she pouted. "Oh…poor CC…was I not paying you enough attention?"
"No, you weren't." Now CC could see where this little game was going to go, but at least it wasn't a game of deception…for now.
Niles stood up and opened his arms inviting her in for a hug. However, as soon as she was within reach, Niles stole her towel. "Now let's see how you like it…"
CC's eyes got very big. "Niles…you wouldn't dare…" CC backed slowly away taking great care not to 'expose her flank' to his direct aim.
"You started it, Chastity." Niles thought it best to let her know it was indeed playtime and that he wasn't seeking true revenge. "Come on, now…it's only fair."
CC shook her head. "No way, Niles…you better not." CC stopped backing up and waited for just the right moment.
When…it…came…she…turned and ran out of the bedroom up the hall to the kitchen hoping she could find some sort of ammunition to use in there. "There has to be something in here I can use." CC mumbled as she searched through drawers and cabinets and the fridge as Niles, slowly came up the hall, laughing maniacally.
Niles got to the bar that separated the small kitchenette from the living area slowly twisting the damp towel in his hands. "You're cornered now, Love."
CC cowered behind the opened refrigerator door. "Niles…I'm sorry. I never should have snapped you with that towel. I swear…I won't do it again…can't we please forget it? I bruise so easily."
Niles smirked at the fridge door. "Fair enough…I'd never want to leave a mark, at least…not with a towel." Niles tossed the towel over the fridge door.
"Thanks, Niles. You are really a true gentleman; a gullible gentleman, but a gentleman." CC left the towel on the counter and held in her hand the can of spray whipped topping she'd bought her first day there.
"CC…don't start something you may not be prepared to finish." Niles raised an eyebrow. "Food is my forte, remember."
CC was stalking Niles now, slowly shaking the can. "What's the matter, Niles? Not so brave without your towel?" CC laughed as Niles backed slowly into the living room.
"I'm warning you, Chastity Claire, I won't give in so easily this time." There was a fire in Niles eyes. "I'll make you beg…"
"I'll never have to beg you for anything, Niles." CC cooed at him and continued her approach with the can of spray topping.
Niles finally stopped his retreat. He stood and watched, anxious, nervous and aroused waiting for CC to finally do something. "What's the matter, Chastity…lose your nerve?" Niles provoked.
"Don't push me, Niles…I swear…I'll do it." CC took a few more steps feeling apprehensive, excited and very turned on at this little game of cat and mouse.
Niles took a step toward her. "I don't think you will. I think you're…chicken…" Niles raised his eyebrow hoping she'd recall the last time he called her that.
"Oh…you're really asking for it Bell Boy…" CC took another step her finger poised on the nozzle of the spray cream.
Niles narrowed his eyes. "Then why don't you just give it to me?" Niles again took another step.
"You'd better stop right there, Niles." CC knew they were getting to close…only about five feet apart now. A few more steps and he'd be able to reach her. "I swear…I'll do it."
Niles lunged and CC sprayed and they tumbled to the floor of the living room, covered from the waist up in spray topping. "I told you I'd do it." CC laughed.
"I'd hoped you would." Niles returned holding her wrists over her head with one hand and slowly wiping the whipped cream from his face with the other. Every bit he took off of himself he put on her. "I think you need a little right here." He dropped a sticky blob of topping on the recess where her throat meets her chest. "Wait…that doesn't look right." Niles leaned in and slowly licked the cream off her neck.
"Niles…" CC moaned a little.
Niles touched a few spots of topping onto her nose, cheeks and chin. "Very yummy…" Niles looked into her eyes as he slowly kissed the topping from her beautiful features.
"I just took a shower, Niles." CC half whined half cooed.
"You may have to take another." Niles nuzzled into her neck and left a sticky sweet trail in his wake.
Niles looked down into her blue eyes and kissed her softly. "I love that the way that tastes."
"It's just whipped cream, Niles." CC laughed lightly.
Niles licked and sucked at the creamy trail he'd left on her neck. "I don't mean the whipped cream."
