Chapter 12
Shortly
before eight, Diana was doing the finishing touches before her
performance. As she walked into her
platform beneath the stage, she heard the commotion going on above her. She took a few deep cleansing breaths as she
saw the violet glow sweep over the room.
As any normal night, she rose into Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves
and controlled the room. But tonight,
she glanced over to Table 1 and saw Christian there watching her with love in
his eyes. When her first number was
done, it was time for her plan to take affect.
The crowd cleared the center of the dance floor as Chocolat brought a
chair in.
"Now
gentlemen, I'm looking for someone very special to help me. But as you all know, 'tis my choice."
All
the men in the room were chomping at the bit to be "with" the Midnight
Amethyst. After Diana casually walked
around the room, teasing almost everyone, she approached her intended target at
Table 1.
"Will
you join me, Handsome?" Diana said, playing the temptress, offering her hand to
Christian. Christian looked at her as
if to ask "What on going on?" Diana saw
his puzzlement and she whispered in his ear, "Trust me. Go with everything I do. I promise I won't hurt you and you'll have
fun."
Christian
took her hand and followed her out to the center of the floor where the chair
was. He could feel hundreds of pairs of
eyes just staring at him, which was starting to get him uneasy.
"Don't
be nervous. Just go with it." She whispered
in his ear.
"I'm
okay." He whispered as he kissed her lightly on the cheek.
Diana
stood back upright to address the rest of the crowd.
"Now
ladies…how can we tell if a man loves us, truly?"
The
music then started up and she began to sing It's in his Kiss, all the
while teasing Christian; caressing him, ear nibbling, sitting on his lap, and
draping her arms all over him. The biggest
thing she did was every time she sang 'it's in his kiss,' she planted one right
on his lips. Every time she did this,
Christian enjoyed it more and more and was getting very aroused by it.
At
the end of the song, Diana wrapped her arms around his neck and held him for a
much longer kiss.
"Are
you planning to have your way with me, Amethyst?" he whispered to her.
"Later
my beloved, later…" Christian smiled
back at her as he kissed her and went back to his table. The other Bohemians proceeded to bust him a
little about his relations with the Midnight Amethyst. Christian gave few details but they
understood his feelings. Until now,
Toulouse was the only other one who knew about them.
For
the rest of the night, Diana glanced over in Christian's direction at least
once every song. Each time, a loving
smile.
