CHAPTER 11:

The couple laughed heartily in the backseat of the town car cruising down the city streets. After a long and taxing day at the office, an exclusive wine tasting date was exactly what the new couple needed. Even though their presence at the event sent a few heads turning, they managed to have a great evening and were now on a car ride to Daniel's new place. After closing escrow a few weeks prior, he couldn't think of a better person to get the first tour other than Wilhelmina.

"So, it's a bit messy." Daniel warned.

"You said that twice already."

"I did?"

"Yes, and don't worry about that." She replied, placing her hand on his thigh and petting it slightly. As innocent as the gesture was, he couldn't help the lightning that shot through his entire body. Moments later, the car finally pulled up in front the building.

They stepped off the elevator and onto the designated floor and walked down the hallway with Daniel leading the way to the new apartment. They stopped in front of the door as Daniel reached into his pocket to produce a key and unlock the door.

"Ready?" He asked grinning before unlocking the door. He flipped the switch nearby as soon as they stepped in.

"Voila!" He beamed as the living room came to life. It was massive, featuring ceiling to floor windows and a fireplace complete with a bar. A smiled played on her face. For some reason it was nearly exactly how she pictured the place. The living room featured a recliner, a wall mounted television and a sound system with multiple different sized boxes, styrofoam and bubble wrap strewn all over the tarp floor.

"So, what do you think?" He asked, beaming.

"It's amazing, Daniel."

"Before we begin the tour would you like something to drink?" He offered. "All I have is a soda and juice boxes. I haven't stocked up the bar yet" He quickly added.

"Pass. Don't worry about it, we just came from a wine tasting date."

"It was just tasting."

"I drank some." She confessed with a light shrug at which he chuckled.

"Ready?" He asked before proffering his arm.

The tour ended in the master bedroom where Daniel stood in the doorway, a smile on his face as he watched her marvel at the view offered by the large French windows.

"Cool view." She complemented.

"Oh yeah, that was emphasized to the realtor." He said as he crossed the room to join her as she took in the scenery that was a park the apartment was overlooking. His arms slowly encircled her waist, his chin resting on her shoulder while inhaling the aromatic scent of her hair. She momentarily tensed up as they have never been this close yet. She quickly relaxed letting out an inaudible breath as his strong arms felt somewhat natural around her waist.

"It's beautiful." She commented.

"Yeah" He agreed "But for me the most beautiful view tonight is not out there but right in here." He added. She smiled sweetly, craning her neck slightly to softly peck his lips.

"You are so smooth." She whispered as she placed her soft lips on his once more, this time the kiss lingering. He twirled her at the waist and met her blue green eyes. He felt her soft palm on his cheek, her touch on his skin sending shivers through his entire body. After a soft caress of his cheek, she slightly drew him forward enclosing the space between them. Their eyes closed as their lips met in a soft, sensuous kiss.

His arms tightened around her waist as the kiss began to deepen. Her tongue began teasing his lips until he parted them, letting her in. He released a soft growl into her mouth upon tasting her, the sweetness of the wine they consumed earlier lingering in her mouth fueled his desire for her. His warm tongue softly probed her mouth, inviting her tongue to engage in an erotic dance. Daniel tilted his head, deepening the kiss further as Willie released a soft throaty moan. Hearing the light moan escaping her throat while her lips were glued on his gave him such a rush that he felt his cock twitch slightly. Her fingers tangled in his hair as the kiss intensified, his hand sliding up her torso to graze her breast while the other made its way to her taut ass eliciting another moan. Her grip tightened on his hair as she felt his manhood harden against her which sent heat to begin pooling at her center.

She briefly pulled her lips from his, allowing them to catch their breath before her luscious lips were soon on his once again. Her hands rested on his hard chest momentarily before she began to unbutton his dress shirt while his hands alternated between her smooth toned arms and her ass. He released a growl as his dick continued to harden while he devoured her mouth. Her hands tugged at his pants and began unbuckling his belt. He gripped her arms to still her movements as he pried his mouth from hers. Her face flashed with confusion as her breath came in pants while studying his flushed expression.

"Willie, we have to stop." He gasped.

"What? Why?" She asked, panting.

"I…I don't have any protection. This place is new and I haven't bought…"

"Do you have Herpes, Chlamydia, HIV or anything I can catch?" She queried.

"No. I got tested six months ago, I promise I'm clean."

"So am I. You have nothing to worry about." She said quickly before gripping the back of his neck and drawing him back to her. He hesitated, pulling his mouth away once again.

"Wait, baby…uh what about…"

"Oh, don't worry, you won't get me pregnant." She assured him nonchalantly before slamming her lips back to his, thrusting her tongue back into his mouth. Her hands resumed unbuckling his belt while he slid the short sleeves of the dress from her shoulders and down her arms. She slowly slid the shirt off his body, her smooth palms feeling like electricity against his skin. They simultaneously pulled apart once more, their breaths heaving while using the break to finish disrobing. Willie finished sliding the dress down her body while Daniel copied her movements and pulled his undershirt over his head revealing his chiseled torso.

He caught the lingerie clad beauty by the waist, pulled her closer, gripped her bottom and then swiftly hoisted her up. She immediately wrapped her legs around him, her arms twining behind his head as she crushed her mouth to his. Without breaking the kiss, Daniel walked to the bed where he gently laid her down. Willie quickly unclasped her bra and cast it aside and kicked off her heels. She didn't want to waste anymore time, she needed him. She was aching for him and if her eyes weren't deceiving her, the feeling was mutual from his end. He crawled onto the bed to hover over her and lowered his head to capture her succulent lips. He released a long throaty moan as if tasting her for the first time. He dragged his lips from her mouth to her neck, drawing out a series of involuntary moans. She inhaled sharply as she felt his hand on one of her breasts, giving it a light squeeze before doing the same to the other. A louder moan escaped her mouth upon feeling his warm mouth on her nipple while his other hand fondled the other breast. She squeezed her eyes shut, heaving as he sucked her other nipple before moving to the other. The soft groans kept on coming as he continued nipping and worshiping her globes.

Soon he began kissing down her torso, his warm kisses tracing a path down her toned stomach. She finally felt his fingers softly tugging at her thong and ever so slowly and teasingly pulled it down her thighs and long legs. He discarded the panties to the floor before kissing his way up. He placed wet kisses up her legs spreading them apart in the process and then kissed up her inner thighs. She bit her lip at his assault trying not to moan and it wasn't easy. He finally buried his face between her thighs, firstly taking in the sweet aroma of her dripping pussy. He then did what he had wanted to do since he set foot at Mode magazine. He began by kissing her cunt lips, tasting her juices. A low guttered moan escaped her lips as she felt his tongue swipe up her burning, dripping slit. Her scent and the taste of her nectar were so intoxicating that he pushed his tongue inside of her. He then proceeded to slip two fingers inside her sheath. She clamped her eyes shut, releasing a moan as she felt his fingers inside of her and an even louder moan at his tongue flicking her nub. She bit her lip and entwined her fingers on his hair coaxing him to go further and deeper as he sucked on her engorged clit. He pumped his fingers in and out of her wet core and momentarily pulled them out, eagerly lapping up the juices that flowed. She groaned softly, her hips bucking when his tongue darted back inside her. She bit her bottom lip, stifling the moans that threatened to escape her mouth. Her breath came in short pants as Daniel continued his assault, his tongue wiggling in an out of her, tongue-fucking her with abandon. It wasn't long before she felt it coming and soon her grip tightened on his locks, her hips jerking as her climax ripped through her while Daniel eagerly lapped up the gushing juices.

Recovering from her intense orgasm, she watched him finish what she started, shrugging out of his pants with his boxers following. Wilhelmina's lips curled up as he watched him reveal his thick throbbing cock. He smirked knowing that she was impressed with his size. They have seen each other in the nude before however the circumstances were completely different; it was the morning after he spent the night with her sister. It was sudden, shocking and awkward that they only caught a glimpse of each other's bare bodies. Shortly thereafter, she made a comment about how she had underestimated his size and at this moment she realized just how wrong she had been. That also turned out to be an underestimation because Daniel Meade was hung like a horse. He crawled on top of her once again, dipped his head and met her lips in a passionate searing kiss. She softly moaned, tasting herself in his mouth. He settled between her thighs and held his cock, rubbing it up and down her hot slick opening, teasing her but not for long as he slowly pushed himself into her. They released long simultaneous moans as he buried himself to the hilt. The world momentarily stopped for both as they stared into each other's eyes, savoring the intimate moment. He drew back, pulling all the way out before slowly sliding back in. She shut her eyes, releasing a long whimper, biting her lip at being refilled by his thick length. She gripped his broad shoulders as he drew back once more and pushed himself back into her tight slit. Soon long, deep, drawn out moans left her mouth as Daniel slowly pumped into her. She bit her bottom lip, squeezing her eyes shut as his thrusts deepened.

"You feel so good." He whispered as soft whimpers left her throat while he tunneled deeply into her. Her fingernails dug into his skin as she began bucking her hips to meet his thrusts. Daniel groaned softly as he thrust into her while his gaze bore into hers. Her facial expressions and the sounds that escaped her as he deeply thrust into her only caused his manhood to swell even harder. He dipped his head and touched her luscious lips in a deep kiss. He dragged his lips along her jaw, nibbling on her ear causing her to purr even louder. He continued and dragged his mouth down her neck as he pumped into her. She clung to him, mewling deeper, her long smooth legs wrapped tightly around his waist as he continued to drive into her.

"Oh, Daniel." She cried, her warm breath on his shoulder prompting him to increase his rhythm. Her fingernails clawed on his back as his pace increased. Their moans synched as he pumped back and forth, the passion and desire radiating off their sweat covered bodies. They weren't just making love, this was a release of their souls.

"Daniel!" She wailed as she felt her release begin from deep within and Daniel was right behind her as he began to pump a little faster. The volume of their groans increased as the heat of their release steadily built. She grabbed a handful of the bedsheets, her back arching off the bed while screaming his name as pleasure ripped through her. Her core tightened around him and after a few more thrusts, he felt his own release descend upon him. His body stiffened against her writhing body as he erupted within her depths.

They lay quietly, panting while basking in the afterglow. Their hearts still pounding and pulses racing, his hand gently roamed her warm slick body while she seductively ran her smooth leg over his as they stared into each other's eyes, not saying a word; not that they needed to. The nearness of each other's bodies, staring deeply into each other's eyes with his arm wrapped tightly around her, words weren't necessary. Daniel beamed at her, tracing her face with the tips of his fingers as he cradled her in his arm. This part however never featured in any of Daniel's wild fantasies and there have been a lot of them. For more than three years, his sexual fantasies involving her usually featured the office where she would be bent over her desk with him brutally thrusting in and out of her, hitting it from behind while she moaned like a bitch in heat or the one where he took her on her chaise, her arms pinned above her head as he drove into her while she screamed his name like a mantra, begging for him to fuck her harder. Never had he thought sleeping Wilhelmina would be like this. The intimacy of it all was beyond comprehension, deeper than anything he had experienced before; even deeper than when he was with Molly, not that he would admit that to anyone, not even himself. He took her hand in his and kissed it, and soon he placed leisurely kisses up her arm to her shoulder and on to the crook of her neck. His lips ended on her plump lips with her moaning into his mouth. He maneuvered himself on top of her as the kiss began to heat up. She opened her mouth to him, letting out a soft moan as their tongues entwined, spreading her legs to wrap them around his waist. They went on and made love three more times that night.

Wilhelmina squirmed slightly and groggily reached out her arm to drape over Daniel's warm body that cuddled against her through the night and to her disappointment his side of the bed was empty. She opened her eyes to confirm he wasn't beside her and it seemed that he wasn't in the shower either. She stretched and yawned for a few moments before peeling off the covers and getting off the bed. Her gaze located her underwear, her dress and Louboutins lying about on the floor. Clad in her dress with her hair tousled, she padded barefoot down the hallway while the smell of bacon wafted from the kitchen. She walked into Daniel with his back to her, hovering over the stove.

"Good morning" She greeted. He jerked his head to her, his eyes gleaming at the sight of her.

"Good morning." He beamed, setting the skillet back on the stove before stalking over to her. He caught her by the waist and met her lips in a warm kiss. "You look beautiful." He murmured before capturing her lips in another kiss.

"You don't have to say that. You already got me into bed remember?" She joked.

"I mean it." He affirmed. And that he did. Make up or not, couture dresses or not; it didn't matter to him. She was equally beautiful if not more with the natural make-up free and disheveled hair look.

"You're making breakfast?"

"Yeah, thought I'd surprise you. I got up a little early, went out to get us some coffee and ended up buying some breakfast supplies." He gushed.

"You didn't have to." She said with a smile.

"I'm just trying to be a gentleman." He said with a shrug.

"Are you…are you making eggs benedict?" She asked her brows furrowed in genuine surprise and curiosity at seeing the contents of the kitchen island.

"I sure am." He replied. The smile on her face didn't falter as she hoisted herself up on the stool at the breakfast bar to watch him with curious eyes as he finished cooking.

"I wasn't sure which type of coffee you'd prefer this morning and so I got you both creamed and black." He said pointing to the three corrugated cups sitting on the island.

"I'll the take one with cream with breakfast and the black one to go." She replied. Daniel placed a plate and the coffee cup in front of her.

"This looks really good." She marveled at the contents of the plate.

"Wait till you taste it." He boasted before hopping on the stool next to hers.

"I didn't know you could cook, let alone this good." She complemented between bites.

"I wanted to surprise you."

"Mission accomplished."

That morning over breakfast they agreed that the previous night's events would not change a thing at the office and that the boundaries they set still stood. They agreed that they had to remain professional and therefore would not be talking about their night of passion and would try not to act differently around each other. That discussion however did not stop Willie from walking into her office to find a bouquet of fresh red roses in a crystal vase with an unsigned card sitting on her desk.

On Saturday evening the pair found themselves plopped on a velvet sofa in the VIP booth of a noisy nightclub. The party was a private and low-key fashion industry affair and Daniel insisted that he and Willie make an appearance and be each other's plus one. The party was on the Q.T so there were no paparazzi lurking outside to document their arrival. Their presence was not suspicious as they were business partners still in the process of restoring their company's image. Their demeanor, however, was a slightly different story as their proximity and interaction earned them suspicious glares from some partiers. Some, on the other hand did not suspect a thing as multiple women made a pass at Daniel right in front of Wilhelmina. After mingling with the other A-listers in attendance, they retired to their booth gabbing and drinking.

"So, don't you miss this?" Asked Wilhelmina.

"Miss what?"

"This." She replied gesturing to the drunk dancing partiers a few feet away "The night life; going out partying with your friends, hooking up with women without a care in the world."

"No." He shrugged.

"That was a quick reply." She noted before taking a sip of her cocktail.

"I know and that's because when you're sure and sincere about something, you don't need to think over your answer." He explained.

"Fair enough. So, you mean to tell me that this scene no longer interests you?" She skeptically pressed and he knew why. The discussion was brought on by the women hitting on him in her presence, as well as the throng of women that surrounded him when he made his trip to the restroom. He knew where she was coming from, she was slightly jealous and why wouldn't she be? If a throng of men came up to her flirting in front of him, he would feel the same way.

"Yeah, that is what I'm saying. Let me tell you what I feel like doing right now; I feel like marching across this club, walk up to the DJ and tell him to turn the music down a notch. I also feel like kissing you in front of all these people but more importantly I'd rather be home with you chilling with some wine, having a meaningful conversation and making love to you…in that order." He said, sending a giggle to escape her mouth.

"When did you get so cheesy?"

"I've changed, Willie. I'm way past that age of tail chasing and clubbing all night. The only thing making this noisy ass club filled with drunk people is being with you. That's where I'm at in my life right now but what's more important is that it's what I want and I love it." He assured and her mouth curled into a smile.

"I want to kiss you so badly right now." She said suggestively.

"Me too." He smiled.

"Is it too soon to get out of here?"

"I think it is." He chuckled after a quick glance of his wristwatch. "Let's stay for the next hour or so but in the meantime let's try to contain ourselves." He suggested.

"I can't promise anything." She whispered.

Daniel pressed her against the door as soon as they walked into the apartment. His eyes burned with desire as she stared upon them; he wanted her as much as she did him. She closed her eyes, releasing a throaty moan as his lips slammed onto hers, his tongue immediately probing her mouth. Her palm caressed his cheek as she drew his togue into her mouth. His cock began to stiffen against her body which responded with a tingle shooting to her core. Their tongues erotically dueled for a short while before coming apart for air. Daniel lowered his mouth back to hers. He then trailed hungry kisses along her jaw to her neck. She inhaled sharply, her eyes rolling to the back of her head when his lips touched her neck. She tilted her head encouraging him to go deeper giving him full excess while his large hands roamed her torso giving light squeezes to her globes before sliding down to her full ass. Daniel smiled during his exploits having learned a few days ago the response his touch could elicit. Soon she began unbuttoning his shirt and then fumbled with his belt. An involuntary groan escaped him when he felt her grab his straining bulge, then rubbing through his pants. She ground her body against him while their tongues fought for dominance briefly before coming apart for air.

After unbuttoning his pants, she began pushing him backwards. His hands kept exploring her exposed skin as she guided him to the living room. He felt her pull his pants down along with his boxers with a tug, freeing his raging hard-on from its confines before shrugging his dress shirt off. A small lunge sent him falling back on the couch. He licked his lips at her lust filled eyes boring into his as she towered over him. On the double she sank down to her knees. His heart thundered, his throat going dry at the sight because if his eyes were not deceiving, he was about to receive head from Wilhelmina Slater. He swallowed hard as he watched her lean forward. He inhaled audibly when her hand wrapped around his length before giving him a few light strokes. He released a shaky breath when her tongue contacted with the base of his cock and then slowly ran up his length to the tip. He threw his head back, a deep groan leaving his mouth when he felt her lips wrap around his bulbous head.

"Fuck" He growled when her mouth slid down his shaft, swallowing him whole. He screwed his eyes shut, biting his bottom lip as he felt her mouth descend down his shaft. Her rhythm was established almost immediately as her warm mouth moved up and down in a slow motion. He huffed as she took him in deeper and deeper, descending ever so slowly, letting him linger in her throat before moving back up.

"God, that feels so good." He breathed. She soon began to build on her rhythm. A series of profanities escaped his mouth as she rapidly bobbed up and down his pulsing member, deep-throating him with purpose. He reached for her, grabbing a handful of her hair, huffing and growling at the assault. He bit his bottom lip to keep from howling as she played her throat around the bulbous head in a manner he had never felt before. He felt a slight tingle build in his balls, then bucked his hips slightly when her tongue flicked his length when she ascended. He spewed profanities like a mantra at the inexplicable feeling bringing him closer to the edge. His grip tightened on her hair, knowing just how close he was. Suddenly, he held her head still and bucked his hips. His head flew back, squeezed his eyes shut, letting out a long groan of ecstasy as he exploded in her mouth.

He was still heaving, coming down from his high when he watched her disrobe; shimming out of her dress and kicking off her heels. She plopped herself next to him reached to touch her palm on his face before crushing her mouth to his, thrusting her tongue into his mouth immediately. They eagerly attacked and explored each other's mouths. Their intoxication wasn't just from the drinks they had at the party; it was also from each other.

Her hand wrapped around his half-mast erection and began to skillfully stroke him back to life. Soon, she straddled him, pulled her thong to the side, reached back and guided his pulsing dick into her hot dripping slit. Her eyes squeezed shut, a long moan leaving her lips at the feeling of being filled by his amazing cock. She kissed him hard on the lips before moving up and down his length. He placed his hands on her waist feeling the heat radiating from her body. Her arms snaked around his neck as she expertly bounced up and down on him. He brushed strands of hair off her beautiful sweat coated face before pulling her down to capture her luscious lips in a long hungry kiss. She then trailed equally hungry kisses down his neck to his collarbone. He growled, his head flying back as it was his turn to moan as her warm mouth attacked his neck. He clenched his teeth, his grip tightening on her as she softly cried out his name. The smell of sex, the sounds of skin slapping skin, simultaneous light moans echoed in the room as she vigorously rode him. If the place was small, they definitely would have steamed the windows. He threw his head back as the familiar sensation began to build while she continued to bounce on his swollen shaft. Soon she tightened around his shaft, her arm tightening around his neck as well as pleasure engulfed her. With her sexy cries of pleasure against his ear and the slight tremble against his body, he couldn't hold on for much longer as he exploded inside her with a cry of her name.

He reclined in his chair, a boyish grin on his face while he skimmed through the contract in his hand. He tried to wipe the stupid grin off his face without much success. This had been a frequent occurrence lately where he would find himself smiling for no reason other than her. Who knew that there would be a time where the thought of Wilhelmina Slater would bring such a look on his face? He even smiled when he read her name on the screen of his phone; whether it was a call, a text or an e-mail, personal or professional, he just couldn't stop his heart from fluttering and his lips from turning up. The memory of Saturday night flooded his mind, not just their sexy after party at her place which was incredible that it replayed in his mind at least a hundred times over the previous day alone. It was their conversation that happened earlier in the night. When he assured her that his playboy party days were over, he wasn't just telling her what he thought she wanted to hear just to keep the peace in the new relationship, he actually meant what he said and he believed it. All those women at the party, no matter how beautiful, how much they batted their eyelashes, flipped their hair and flashed their porn star cleavages, they didn't do anything for him; not anymore. And that was growth and he was loving it. His reverie was broken by his mother storming in, clutching what appeared to be a newspaper.

"Mom?" said a confused Daniel. His mother didn't utter a word and instead dramatically slammed the newspaper on his desk.

"Mom, what's going on?"

"What's going on? I should be asking you that. What's going on between you and that bitch?" She seethed.

"What are you talking about?" Confused, he picked up the paper and his eyes immediately bugged out as he realized that the private party may not have been as private as he thought. His heart began pounding as he glazed over a series of photographs of him and Willie from Saturday evening plastered in the entertainment news section.

"Care to explain?" Fumed Claire, folding her arms while Daniel's face contorted in shock.
