Dance Of Seduction

Chapter Six

The dim lights provided an intimate setting within the busy restaurant. The four where now onto their main course. Serena tried to keep a light and steady conversation with Darien but she felt the heat coiled within her stomach. She kept on remembering their lovemaking and judging by his expression when she caught him staring at her so too did he. Slowly placing the lasagne into her mouth she almost groaned at the pleasure the taste brought to her tongue, whomever was chef in this place was truly magical in the kitchen. She finished her meal within the next couple of seconds daintily patting around her mouth. "If you'll excuse me" she said lightly I think I need to touch up my lipstick" Mina smiled "I think I might join you" she said "I wouldn't want you to outdo me with your beauty now would I" she teased as the two left the table and headed for the powder room.

As soon as they got there Mina rounded on Serena "what the hell has been going on with you and Darien?" she asked suspiciously Serena concealed her panic and shrugged "I told you I danced for him at a strip club and well one thing led to another afterwards" she stated "I thought that you approved." Mina threw up her hands in exasperation "I did approve that was until I got the suspicion that you might be falling for him." Serena laughed to cover up her momentary panic. For she too had been thinking the same thing, how else could she explain the effect he was having on her? But she couldn't let that get in her way, he was the villain and she couldn't forget that. "Don't be silly" Serena snapped at Mina applying lipstick to her full lips. "You should know me at lot better than that" Mina's eyes narrowed to slits. "We'll see" she muttered as she turned to her own reflection to apply her own lipstick we'll see.

Darien had wanted to kiss her from the moment she had walked into the room. He'd wanted to take her in his arms and ravish her body regardless of who was watching them. It seemed that the woman had a direct link to his hormones he thought... and your heart an inner voice taunted. Darien frowned now where had that thought come from? He didn't really have the time or privacy to analyse it but he knew that it was going to play on his mind.

When he turned the woman were making their way back to the table. Mina sat but Serena remained standing "I've decided to forgo desert and order a taxi home" she stated and Darien looked into her eyes. "I'll give you a ride" he said "my appetite seems to have left me" she looked at him from beneath her lashed "please there's no need" she said coyly. "Of course there is wouldn't want you wandering around on your own and trust me you'll be perfectly safe with me" he said nearly choking on the lie. How could she be safe with him when the need he felt inside was so primal? "Well if your sure" she accepted hesitantly and linked his arm when he offered it her. "Don't forget Serena dear you have a photo shoot tomorrow" Mina called and Serena smiled back "see you tomorrow then" she called as her and Darien exited the room.

In the confines of Darien's sleek jaguar Serena felt utterly claustrophobic and acutely aware of the man seated next to her. "Take a right here" she said as they turned into the street where her apartment was situated. When Darien pulled up outside he stopped the engine and turned and look at her. "I had a good time" Serena said lightly "goodnight." She turned to open the door but the automatic lock caused the locks to click down preventing her from exiting the car. She turned back to Darien. "What are you doing?" she said her voice breathless, he leaned over and brushed his lips over her own and her body quivered. This was dangerous.. he was dangerous to her and her mission. "Please" she said "I.I have an early start tomorrow I need sleep" "Invite me up for coffee" he said against her lips, sucking on the lover lips making her groan. She should refuse him tell him that it was bad timing, but she felt her lips move of their own accord in a word she hadn't wanted to say to him at all. "Ok" she sighed and he deactivated the automatic lock. She should have made a break for it, she could have got inside without him being able to follow. But with his long legs he was at an advantage so she'd be willing to bet money that he'd have caught her before she'd even reached the door.

Swiping her card through the security lock the door swung open and she led the way into the richly decorated lobby of the complex. She typed in the security code for the lift and stepped inside once it pinged open. Once again to Serena it seemed as though Darien took up all the space in the roomy lift. What was the matter with her? Why was she acting like a adolescent schoolgirl with a crush. Stepping out onto the top floor she headed towards her penthouse apartment and swiped her card through the lock. Opening the door she stepped inside, he followed and shut the door behind him. The sound felt so final she shouldn't have invited him up this was a bad idea. She turned to face him and was met with a passionately smouldering gaze; she could tell by it that he had not come up here for coffee. Heat consumed her as her body reacted, and her heartbeat quickened as he took a step towards her. No coffee was definitely not what Darien had in mind.
