Perfect Strangers
Thank you for your kind review and hope you are enjoying this story.
Bellagio Hotel –The Bank Nightclub
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came
You cast a spell on me, spell on me
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So let's go somewhere no-one else can see, you and me
Turn the lights out now
Now I'll take you by the hand

The words pulsed out of the speakers as they danced, their bodies touching briefly as they gyrated to the music, the golden glow of the Crystal stacked foyer helped create a black and gold nighttime fantasy.
After their helicopter ride he had brought her back to the hotel, thinking that she was going to call it a night. Leaving him to pursuit someone to help sate his arousal, maybe he would take that blonde up on her offer.
'Sorry buddy doesn't look like we are going to see what's under that cardigan.' He told little Cooper.
Amy didn't want this night to end, she invited him to go dancing but he told her that he didn't dance. She ignored his answer instead saying 'Birthday girl is in charge.' Before clutching his hand and dragging him towards the nightclub. Once there they got a table; she pushed him unto the dance floor and they hadn't left it since.

Amy was in the bathroom stall when she overheard two women talking about her.
"Can you believe that shit?" said the unknown voice "I practically threw myself at him in Olives and he turn me down and now I see him on the dance floor dancing with that ugly mouse in the cardigan."
"Girl, men are so strange." Said another voice.
There was a laugh "Tell me about it."
"I mean look at me…I'm way prettier and know how to work this dress" her hand touching the dress that fit her like a second skin. "While she hides under that cardigan."
Amy rolled her eyes as she listened to them talk about her. 'There was nothing wrong with her cardigan.' she was starting to feel like she was back in high school, hiding from the mean girls. She refused to be cowed by these bitches.
'This was her night' she told herself taking a deep breath remembering what her mom told her earlier today 'Sometimes you gotta just relax and enjoy yourself and not worry about what anyone else thinks.'
She opened the stall door walking to the sink to wash her hands; on her left, she saw a bottle blonde giving her a surprised look 'Didn't know I was here, uh?' standing next to her was her raven hair friend.Amy smirked their way as she dried her hands. She looked in the mirror cocking her head to the side as she ran her hand through her hair fluffing it. Placing her small purse in front of her she reached for her lip-gloss, applying it slowly to her lips. She gave her two onlookers a side-eye as she placed her gloss back in her purse. Looking at herself in the mirror she removed her cardigan, revealing the top of her dress. She heard a gasp as she turned to look at her exposed back in the mirror. She smiled turning to see the front, placing her hands on her hips while saying to herself out loud, "Who says I can't work this dress?"

Sheldon sat waiting on her to return from the bathroom. He had just returned from DJ booth after making a song request. The DJ had looked at him crazy, until he was handed a hundred-dollar bill and a promised to send him the next copy of Mix DJ software CHWK was working on. He wanted a song that he could hold her in his arms with. She had felt good in his arms when he lifted her up onto the helicopter. Their fleeting touches while they danced wasn't enough to satisfied him.
He didn't think he would enjoy dancing so much, he had somehow let her talk him into going to the hotel nightclub. Even after he told her that he didn't dance, the Vixen.
The women he normally entrained knew all he wanted from them was sex in their bed, not his. In returned they got to brag to their friends about sleeping with the elusive Sheldon Cooper. Some were delusional enough to believe that they would be the one to bring him to heel from his playboy lifestyle.
'As if he would make any of them his Mrs. Cooper.' Sheldon snorted before taking a drink from his glass. 'that dog don't hunt.'
This was the longest he had been on a 'date' with a woman without her not being on her back or riding him for dear life. He kept conversation with them to a minimum, since their incisive chatter about whatever woman talked about quickly bored him.
'His vixen was different.' He thought not realizing he had placed an ownership tag on her. She had kept the conversation lively all night. He liked the way she smiled, the way she looked at him as if he was the only man in the room. He enjoyed making her blush when their eyes met. His playing a game of intimacy with hers, while hers fell down bashfully as if to hide that she had never been with a man.
Sheldon musing was cut off as his eyes looked at the woman walking his way. She had removed the cardigan, the halter neckline reveling her skin. 'Shit.' His mother would have a fit at his use of language.
Her shoulders and arms lightly sun kissed. The form-fitting dress hugged her curves in all the right places. He finally got to see her chest without a cardigan and much more, the front slit eyelet on her chest played peekaboo with him. Showing skin, then hiding it from his hungry gaze. He imagined her breast would fit just right in his palms, not too big but not too small. She gave him a shy smile as she got to the table. Sheldon didn't realize he had stood up as he pulled her chair for her to sit. His eyes going wide as he saw her exposed back. He cleared his throat sitting down next to her. She was looking away from him at the dance floor, watching people dancing.
Amy didn't know what to say or do, she had removed her cardigan to show up those two women in the bathroom, never expecting him to look at her the way he had looked at her. No man had ever looked at her that way. He looked at her the way Mr. Darcy had looked at Elizabeth when he found her at his estate after he had gone for a swim or was it the look he had giving her the first time he had told her he loved her and she had refused him? She will have to watch her A&E Pride and Prejudice miniseries again to make sure.
"A flower for your lady, Sir?" asked a man holding a bag of single roses.
"I'm not his lad-" started Amy embarrassed.
"Yes." Interrupted Sheldon cutting her off. Reaching for his wallet inside his jacket. Handing the man some money, the man smiled. "Thank you, Sir!"
Sheldon handed the rose to her. "Here you go birthday girl." Amy smiled at him "Thank you." As they stared at each other forgetting the man selling roses.
"Would you like a picture of you and your lady with the rose?" the man asked interrupting their eye coitus pulling out a polaroid camera.
"Why not?" Sheldon smiled at her before getting closer placing his arm around her shoulder, his palm touching her skin making her feel butterflies in her stomach. She had never been this close to a man that was not a relative. Her heart rate got faster, she felt warm and protected by his embraced and something else, her loins jumped in excitement "hoo."
"Come on birthday girl! You definitely want a picture of this night to remember." He told her playfully.
Amy smiled at him before getting closer. Their faces inches from each other, he smelled good. Sheldon squeezed her upper arm lightly getting closer. They both smiled at the camera as it flashed spitting out the picture.
"One more!" said Sheldon.
Amy gave him a quick curious look.
"I want to remember this night too." He told her with a wink. He meant what he told her for some reason he wanted to remember this night.
"Here you go Sir, Miss." said the man handing them both a picture before leaving.
Sheldon looked at his "Hey we looked good together, don't we? Or should I say you look good for your age…what are you like-?" he teased her. She laughed cutting him off by lightly hitting his lips with the rose.
Sheldon eyes went to her lips noticing how slippery they looked, "Your lips are slippery." He whispered a wicked image of her slippery lips wrapped around his member came to his mind making him get hard again. He lowered his head about to kiss her.
Amy laughed hitting him softly on the lips with the rose. He gave her a smile before his eyes move to her lips. His eyes turning dark with desire "Its lip-gloss." She answered him 'OMG he going to kiss me!' she thought.
Just about when their lips where going to touch a waiter interrupted them, "Excuse me, this is complements of the gentleman over there." He pointed in the direction of a man who was surrounded by women. "Apparently, he won big at the casino and is buying everyone here a glass of our $1000 a bottle crystal champagne to celebrate." The man finished rolling his eyes at the thought.
Amy came to her senses moving away from Sheldon, "Uh...Err that's nice of him." She said flushed.
Sheldon frown with irritation at the man, 'He almost got the chance to taste her lips.'
Amy picked up the glass sending a salute to the man who was too busy kissing the blonde from the bathroom. 'Well she works fast.' Thought Amy taking a sip of the champagne before making a face "This stuff is horrible!" she complained looking at the table for something else to drink picking up Sheldon's cocktail drink taking a sip to wash the taste of the champagne away.
Her eyes got big realizing what she did, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that, I'll get you another."
He normally would have freaked out if someone drank from his glass, but he was ok with her drinking from it, it felt intimate. "No, please go ahead, that champagne is horrible tasting. Goes to show that a high price doesn't mean quality." He told her smiling.
"I take it that you have had this before since you didn't drink yours." She said pointing at his untouched champagne.
"Are you speaking from experience?" she asked him.
"Maybe." He told her as the smiled left his face.
He reached out, his fingers caressing hers briefly as he grabbed the cocktail glass from her to take a slow sip as he stares at her before handing it back to her.
"Finish it." He told her making it sound like a command.
Amy felt that the situation had gotten a little awkward between them.
He watched her drink from his cup, finding it to be somehow erotic. His eyes moving to her exposed skin, he wanted to taste her skin, he wanted to run his hands on her collarbone to see if he would get the 'hoo' sound she made when she got excited.
Amy fidgeted nervously after she finished the drink. She grabbed the photo putting it in her purse and picked up the rose. She looked at her watch before saying "Well is getting late, I better head back to my room. Thank you very much for tonight."
"You owe me one last dance." He told her grabbing her hand. He wanted to spend more time with her and if this night was going to end he wanted it to end with her in his bed.
"Uh…ok." she told him.
Sheldon raised his hand to signal the DJ who nodded changing the up-tempo beat to something slower. Sheldon walked her to the dance floor as the piano and acoustic guitar came out of the speakers.
I really hate to let this moment go
Touching your skin and your hair falling slow
When a goodbye kiss, feels like this
Placing his hand on her lower back while the other held her hand, he led her. Their bodies touching, chest to chest. He placed his chin on her head has they slow danced. She let go of his hand to place her hands on his neck. Amy closed her eyes placing her head on the cruck of his neck as the music played on.
Don't you wanna stay here a little while
Don't you wanna hold each other tight
Don't you wanna fall asleep with me tonight
A hint of cherry blossom came from her hair. His thumb made slow circles on the skin of her lower back. Her body felt good against him, but he wanted to feel her skin next to his.
Don't you wanna stay here a little while
We can make forever feel this way
Don't you wanna stay
He moved away from her slightly to bring her chin up for a kiss while they danced. At first it was timid as his tongue touched her lips, asking for access to her mouth and she complied opening her mouth; their tongues finally meeting for the first time. She moaned slightly when he sucked her tongue with his mouth. The hand on her chin moving to the back of her head to holder in place has his tongue played with her mouth. She felt lightheaded as the kiss took her breath way.
'She tasted like heaven.' thought Sheldon.
