A/N: Here's the rest of the Vegas trip. Thanks for reading and leave a review if you want.

The guys had flipped a coin, and the loser was going with us to the concert Friday night while the others stayed behind with Jade and Kelly to do whatever they pleased. Mellie and I had begun watching TV around five and she fell asleep, but I figured she knew I had something planned for tonight. Here it was 7:45 and she was still asleep. I heard a quiet knock on the door and knew it was the loser of the coin toss. I opened the door and smiled upon seeing Chris standing in the doorway, looking defeated.
"How nice of you to join us tonight, Chris," I smirked, getting a punch in the arm from him and a laugh. I went and woke Mellie up, then went over to her suitcase to pick her out a shirt to wear.
"Here," I said, handing her a nice purple shirt I found, "We're going out somewhere."
"Where are we going at this time of night?" She asked, getting up and brushing her hair and making sure her makeup was ok. "And with Chris?" She said, seeing him near the door, wearing gray jeans and a black v-neck.
"You'll see when we get there. Just be ready in ten minutes, ok?" I said, getting a sneaky smile out of her.
She went into the bathroom and came out five minutes later, looking amazing. She put on her gray flats and grabbed her phone and looked over at me.
"Do I need a purse where we're going?" She asked, digging through her wallet for her ID.
"Nope. Just yourself," I said.
"Well then, I'm ready. Let's go wherever we're going," she said, taking my hand and going down to the rental car with us.
We pulled up to the hotel where the concert was, and I checked my watch - 8:12. We were good since doors opened at 8:30 and the show started at nine. I saw no signs on the way here, but I knew once we got inside it would be obvious. Chris parked the car and I told them to stay there while I went inside real quick. I spoke with an event staffer and they instructed we just take the elevator to the top floor, then we would be instructed to the rooftop.
I went back out to the car and got them, then went inside, trying to keep Mellie's attention from the sign by the front desk advertising for the show. I could see the curiosity on her face as we got in the elevator, and I hoped she would like this. There were only two hundred tickets on sale for this show, and the fact it was a rooftop show made it even cooler.
"Do I get to know now?" She asked me with a grin.
"You'll see when we get there," I smiled as I reminded her. "Be patient."
She groaned playfully as we approached the top floor and got out, seeing a huge sign that read "The Weeknd/9p/doors 8:30p" and pointed down the hall. She looked over at me and gasped, not believing this.
"No you didn't," she said in shock, her mouth falling open. "Are you serious right now?"
"Dead serious," I said, pulling the tickets out of my pocket. She hugged me tightly and got more excited as we approached the guard and ticket handler at the rooftop access door. We got in line and showed them our tickets, and they let us in since it was already 8:35.
I was amazed when we got up the flight of stairs and onto the roof. There was a bartender with a small table set up at one end and the stage and lights at the other. The night sky was beautiful up here, and the skyline was even more gorgeous than it was from our suite. She squeezed my hand and we got as close to the stage as she wanted and waited while we watched more people come up.
"Fitz, this is...awesome. I've never been to a rooftop party, and much less one with a concert," she smiled. "I didn't realize you paid attention to what I listened to."
"Of course I do, I listen to your playlist sometimes too," I admitted. We waited patiently for the next half hour and I was surprised how timely everything was. They shut the doors exactly at nine and the show started at 9:10.
As the voice of the man behind The Weeknd filled the cool night air and the beats blared through the speakers, I looked over and saw Mellie fully enjoying herself. I don't think she realized we were now part of a small crowd or the amount of cell phone cameras around. She was happy in the moment, and I was glad for it.
Saturday night after the live show downstairs and playing some slots, we turned in around ten, wanting to just relax. She had gone with Jade and Kelly that morning to the spa while me and the guys went out to town to explore. I felt like she was in a pretty good mood, and I wanted tonight to be as close to perfect as possible. I had given her little compliments all evening and stayed close to her, kissing her and rubbing her legs every chance I got. She knew where I was headed, and I hoped it would end well. Mellie sat on the couch and I went into the bedroom, lighting a few vanilla candles around the room and dimming the lights. I opened the balcony door to let the soft breeze and city lights in before I left the room. I came back and sat on the soft white ottoman, rubbing her feet. She looked amazing in her white shorts and red striped sleeveless blouse; it was hard to resist her.
"That feels amazing," she said, closing her eyes and leaning her head back. "The spa this morning was great. One of the best masseuses I've ever been to."
"That's good to hear," I said happily. I just needed to seal the deal, get her a little closer to the edge.
My hands moved slowly up her smooth legs to her hips, and I stood up above her, looking into her beautiful eyes. I could see the approval, the relaxation she felt. I kissed her lips slowly, my hands resting on the back of the couch to hold myself up. I made my way to her neck and I felt her muscles tighten as she stood up and wrapped her arms around me.
She got my t-shirt off as we inched our way to the plush king sized bed, her fingers on my bare back feeling amazing. We quickly got undressed and she had a playful look in her eyes as she pulled my body against hers and ran her hands down my entire torso. The blaring music from a party above us spilled into the room, and the bass was just intense enough to make the walls vibrate. She pushed me backwards and onto the bed, and I knew she wanted control for the night. And she would get it - at least for a little while. I tried not to let on that I enjoyed it, but I figured she knew by now.
I was glad the bedroom wasn't close to the joining wall of the guys' suite, because they would give me hell for how loud we were. I hoped they didn't hear us, but I really didn't care about them right then. I was only focused on Mellie.
As our bodies became one that night, I remembered the very first time we had sex. It was the third night of our honeymoon, and she had led me on a little all day. We came back to the hotel and I simply asked her if she was ready for this new step in our relationship. She assured me she was, and I was relieved. I wasn't going to pressure her into anything, but I had been waiting for this moment ever since our relationship became serious. We made love for the first time, and it was amazing to get on this level with her. It was a new experience for both of us, to feel this close, to feel completely like one for the first time.
I felt that again, and it was the best feeling in the world to me.
