Chapter 28 - Adult Content
With the rest of the week going by quickly, Edward and I tried to spend as much quality time with Adele as we could when we weren't locked away in our room. It was true that she missed her uncle, so I suggested to him that they get all dressed up and go out on a date night for just the two of them.
That evening, Edward came down the stairs wearing a custom made suit cut to perfection. As he moved, the material skimmed over his body and subtly hinted at what a great physique he has. He looked absolutely gorgeous and I couldn't wait for him to come home so I could help him out of his suit.
When Adele came down a half an hour later, she really surprised me. Not because her uncle only had to wait a half hour for her, but because she was wearing the beautiful black and white off the shoulder dress that she had bought for his awards dinner. Even though Adele doesn't like to wear the same thing twice, she knew she looked stunning and was very proud to be on her uncle's arm.
On their way out, Edward told me that they were going to dinner and a show in the city, and not to wait up for him because he would wake me when they got back. I laughed and gave them each a kiss before sending them on their merry way.
Since I now had the whole night to myself, I spent some time online picking out the treatments we wanted for our spa getaway. I started us off with the Signature Elements of Nature "Mohonk Red" Couples' Massage that takes place in front of a roaring fire in a luxurious couples' treatment room. After that, I signed us up for facials and requested that we had them done in the same room because I couldn't wait to see what Edward looked like with all of the gunk all over his face. I then finished up our first day with a reflexology session for two that included work on our hands as well as our feet. For New Years Eve day, we were going to begin with a warm stone massage for two, and then we were going to split up. I was going to get my first manicure and pedicure ever, while Edward was going to have a deep tissue massage before we attended the seven course dinner dance the spa was hosting for the holiday.
After the treatments were all booked, I lost myself in a good book until I heard Edward's car pull into the driveway sometime after one o'clock in the morning. Adele came into the Hall looking exhausted but happy after spending a whole grownup evening with her uncle. As I put her to bed, she told me all about their dinner at Sardi's and how she loved looking at all of the charactures that lined the walls. Then she went on and on about seeing a performance of "Wicked" before gushing about their horse-drawn carriage ride around Central Park.
When I was done with Adele, I went down to our room and found Edward lying in bed waiting for me. He looked tired as well, but I could see that he had had a great time with his niece. Since my feet were cold, I crawled under the covers and put them up against his legs.
'You're a provoking puppet, a malicious elf, a devious witch!' Edward cried out before pulling me closer into him.
While giggling, I rested my chin on his chest, basking in the warmth of his strong body.
'So, how was "Wicked"?'
'Adele loved it. But it is the kind of show that she would love with huge musical numbers, and spectacular sets, costumes, and special effects.
'What about the story? Could she relate to it?'
He laughed,
'What girl her age couldn't relate to a story about someone who doesn't fit in. Who overcomes many obstacles in order to live happily ever after.'
I shook my head.
'There is way more to the story than that. And not everything happens the way it is portrayed on the stage. There is no happy ending in the book.'
'Really? I know Adele cannot wait to read it. We have to run right out tomorrow and get her a copy because the theater was sold out of them.'
'Before she reads it, maybe one of us should tell her that not all fairy tales have happy endings.'
'No, I think she needs to learn that little life lesson on her own. It is important that she realizes things don't always work out the way we want them to.'
I sighed before kissing him gently on his mouth.
'That is true. But sometimes, things work out even better then we could ever imagine.'
Edward brushed the hair back from my face and smiled,
'I couldn't agree with you more,' before falling asleep with me in his arms.
The next day, while on our way to the spa, we dropped Adele off at a friends house. She was ringing in the new year at a two night, all girls slumber party. As we waved and pulled away, all I could think about was how glad I was to not be the one supervising ten tweens for two days and nights!
When Edward and I checked in at the spa, we found out that, in addition to all of the treatments I scheduled, we could also use the spa's facilities like their gym, wet sauna, dry sauna, aroma therapy room, indoor warm spring foot bath, and huge outdoor spa. I was very excited and couldn't wait to get on my bathrobe and relax in the aroma therapy room to prepare me for all of the fun things to come. Edward reluctantly joined me, and to his surprise found the lavender scent soothing and not too feminine smelling after all.
It wasn't long before we were called out for our couples massage, and Edward's was so fabulous, he fell asleep right away. So in addition to the soothing music and the crackle of the fire, I got to listen to Edward snore quietly as his body was expertly relaxed. Luckily, my head was turned to face him and I got to watch what techniques the therapist used on his back and legs. I took some mental notes before my head was turned in the other direction and the other side of my neck was worked on. When the eighty minutes of pure heaven were over, Edward looked like a happy, rung out dishrag. His hair was seven ways to Sunday, and he smiled like the cat that just swallowed the canary.
Since we had time to kill before our facials, we decided to use the wet sauna. I was surprised this was coed and was up for it as long as my towel was big enough to cover me, and it did. When Edward came out of the locker room with his towel wrapped around his waist, my mouth dropped, and I couldn't wait to get my hands on him because he looked so good. His chest looked even more defined than usual, and I couldn't, for the life of me, figure out why I didn't notice it before. But then I remembered that he had told me he was working out a lot more now in order to relieve stress, and boy, did it show. Edward knew how good he looked, and strutted over to me with a huge smile on his face. After checking to see if anyone was nearby, I assaulted his mouth with mine before pulling him into the sauna.
Once inside, I looked through the steam and was surprised to see that there were three older ladies already enjoying the heat. I was really disappointed because I hadn't seen many other guests today, and was hoping to enjoy the sauna alone, with Edward. So I smiled politely at the ladies as we sat on the hard, hot wooden bench across from them while praying that they would all get the urge to get up and leave.
In the midst of my prayer, I noticed that it didn't take long for the beads of sweat that formed at my hairline to run down my face and neck, and pool in my cleavage. I was glistening in no time at all, and I know Edward noticed because he couldn't stop staring down at the swell of my breasts and licking his lips. My gazed dropped down to Edward's chest and I noticed that he was glistening as well. He looked so damn sexy at that moment that I didn't know if I was going to be able to control myself. In my weak attempt to suppress the desire that I was feeling, I sat back against the wall and tried to think about anything other than what I wanted to do to Edward. When that didn't work, I silently cursed at the three women who were in there with us before desperately praying again that they would all leave shortly.
They didn't seem to be going anywhere fast, and I just couldn't stop myself. Trying to draw as little attention to myself as possible, I slowly inched my way over to Edward and practically sat in his lap I was so close. After looking at the ladies and seeing that they were engrossed in a conversation, I put my hand behind Edward's head and began massaging his scalp. He looked at me with a devilish smile that egged me on, so I dropped my hand, and slid it up and down the very center of his back. All of the moisture on his skin made this a very sensual experience for him as well as me. So when I raked my fingernails over the small of his back and he closed his eyes and let out a quiet moan, I went over the edge.
Losing what little control I had left, I tried to slip my hand down the back of his towel, but he had it wrapped too tightly around his waist. I was just about to give up when the three ladies decided that they had had enough of the heat. I assumed that they were all going to leave without acknowledging our presence, but the last one out turned to us and said,
'Enjoy the sauna,' in a knowing tone.
'Oh, don't worry. We will,' Edward smiled back.
As soon as the door closed behind her, Edward's mouth was on mine and his hands were removing my towel. He looked down at my glistening breasts and groaned before his mouth played over my peaks, sucking and nibbling and testing their rigidity until my body jerked and I cried out. As much as I wanted to get lost in him pleasuring me, I kept one eye on the door looking for anyone wanting to come in. Thankfully, no one disturbed us, and we were able to enjoy ourselves.
I couldn't wait to taste his salty, sweat covered skin, so I pushed him back and traced all of the delicious contours of his chest with my tongue. When I finally worked my way down to the start of his towel, I removed it and ran the tips of my fingers up and down and all around his arousal. Edward moaned loudly as he gently guided my head to his need. Responding to his request, I eagerly enfolded him in my lips until he wanted me perched on his lap.
Even though I knew we needed to do this quickly, I took him in slowly, loving the way he felt inside of me. As I moved over Edward, our eyes met and I leaned in to kiss him. My lips pulled and tugged at his before my tongue pushed gently into his mouth. He readily accepted it, and retuned the kiss frantically while gliding his hands all over my wet body. We heard some really funny noises as I rode him to our mutual pleasure, but we didn't care. It didn't take long before I jerked Edward's head back so I could lightly bite his neck as I came, and he pushed my hips down so he could release himself deep within me.
After I caught my breath, I captured his mouth again, hoping to enjoy a few more heavenly seconds with him still inside of me. When it was time, I reluctantly climbed off and we both heard what only could be described as a huge slurp. Edward and I couldn't contain our laughter as we put on our towels and headed for the showers before moving on to our facials.
I really think Edward enjoyed his facial, but I knew that he would never admit to it. I also think that he looked absolutely adorable with the bright green toning mask all over his face and his unruly hair covered with a shower cap. It was really too bad that I didn't have my camera with me, and I told him so. He responded by rolling his eyes and saying that if I did take a picture of him looking this way, Adele and Eshton would never let him live this down. I just laughed at him and the prankster in me thought, better luck next time.
When our facials were over, we enjoyed a casual spa dinner in the atrium, before partaking in our couples' reflexology session. Edward and I spent fifty glorious minutes having our hands and feet worked on while we sat in front of a roaring fire and listened to soothing, new age music. Then we finished off our first spa day with a long soak in the indoor warm spring foot bath. We both agreed that it felt heavenly to have the warm spring water caress our feet.
By now it was close to nine o'clock, so we decided to forgo the locker room showers and enjoy one together in our suite. Since the hotel provides its overnight guests with many different gels and oils to try out, we spent most of the night testing each one out thoroughly both in and out of the shower.
Late the next morning, we breakfasted on assorted mini quiches and fresh fruit in our room before relaxing with a warm stone couples' massage. After that, we spent most of the late afternoon in the outdoor spa with other guests until it was time for my mani and pedi, and Edward's deep tissue massage.
We met up in the suite sometime around seven o'clock and had just enough time to dress for dinner. Edward, of course, wore his tux, and I wore a cranberry silk chiffon halter dress that I bought just for this occasion. The silk gathered slightly over my chest and then tapered as the material moved up my shoulders. The shirred waist that culminated in a bow and the full, fluid skirt that ended just above my knee added to the sexy yet sophisticated look of the dress. And, yes, I finished it off with Adele's beautiful strappy sandals.
When I came out of the bathroom, Edward grabbed me and took my breath away with a kiss, before saying that maybe this dinner dance wasn't such a good idea after all. Knowing where this was leading, I told him we could go for a little bit and then return to our room if we weren't having a good time. It is amazing how much of an appetite you can build up from just relaxing, and I was really hungry, so I hurried him out of our suite and down the stairs before he could do something to change my mind.
The doors to the banquet hall were open when we arrived, and the room looked like a winter wonderland bathed in white, silver and pale blue. Huge glittering snowflakes hung from the ceiling. An enormous ice sculpture was in the middle of the room. And on every table there were white, light blue and silver floral arrangements in various sizes.
Edward and I found our table for two in a secluded corner away from the larger ones. He opened up a bottle of champagne that was ordered especially for the occasion, and we toasted each other over and over. When the bottle was finished, the small orchestra began playing, so we danced until dinner was served.
Besides dancing, we also spent the night feasting on a seven course tasting menu consisting of ahi tuna with chive, cucumber and basque red pepper; celery root soup with poached duck egg and pumpkinseed oil; seared sea scallops with cauliflower purée and a microgreen salad; baked ocean trout with endive braised with lemon and vanilla; a herbed lamb chop with fingerling potatoes, cippolini onions and thyme jus; goat yogurt sorbet with blood orange, and a walnut tart with bourbon ice cream.
Thank God the portions were small and we were able to dance between the courses because I didn't know if I was going to be able to eat everything. But I managed, somehow.
Eventually, the clock struck eleven as we were dancing in each others arms underneath all of the glittering snowflakes. Edward let go of one of my hands to push me away before pulling me back into his body with a flourish. He then dipped me and kissed my mouth ardently. When he brought me back up he said,
'Let's get out of here.'
I looked surprised.
'But it's not midnight yet! Don't you want to be here to bring in the new year?'
Edward kissed my hand and smiled.
'There is only one way I want to bring in the new year, and it only involves you and me.'
So we returned to our suite where Edward and I made love before, during and after the arrival of the new year.
