The woman looking back at her, despite the bra straps visible outside the fabric, made her seem sultry and sophisticated. Sexy! The dress was glamour defined and she twisted from side to side to see her figure in the luxurious silk. The knock on the door was preceded by Sid coming through carrying three other dresses. These were just as stunning but he stopped short when he saw her.
He placed the dresses on a hook and walked over to where she was standing. “It looks incredible,” he said. “But this really isn’t going to work.” With deft hands, he reached around and unsnapped her bra. There was nothing hindering his hands since the dress had no back. With a few simple movements, the thin shoulder straps fell off her shoulders and he pulled the lacy scrap of material out the side. “Now look at yourself,” he said, his deep voice even huskier as he turned her to face the mirror once again.
As she watched, Sid reached up and pulled the pins out of her masses of hair, the tangles spilling out over her shoulders. “That’s better,” he said, his calloused fingers sliding gently down her arms.
Sabrina’s hands wanted to reach up and cover her breasts which were now more visible through the silk material. As were her nipples and the hardened peaks showed prominently through. Her breathing was rapid and she was embarrassed by her reaction to his touch.
“You’re beautiful,” he said, standing behind her, his hands firmly held hers away from her body but as he continued to watch, she felt the rest of her body react. The space between her legs became wet and her body swayed against his. She tried to stand up straight, but he felt her sway and pulled her against him. Sabrina was shocked to find that he was just as aroused as she was and her eyes shot up to his, questioning.
But Sid wasn’t watching her anymore. His hands were on her upper arms and his head was descending to kiss her neck. When his lips touched her ear, she gasped, her bottom pressing more firmly against his thighs and his hands came around to the front, pressing her thighs against his, her shoulders against his chest.
“Sid?” she asked, her head falling back against his shoulder, giving him greater access to her neck.
“Shh,” he said, his mouth moving along her sensitive neck, nibbling her earlobe.
Within moments, Sabrina was a quivering mass of need and her hands covered his, pressing against her skin more firmly. She breathed in, trying to find the strength to pull back but the air was filled with his scent and it only made her head spin more crazily.
When his hands reached into her dress, she cried out and her body almost fell over. If his hands hadn’t been there, she wasn’t sure what would have happened. As it was, she pushed her whole body against his, writhing with her need now as his thumbs flicked her nipples, sending sharp stabs of desire shooting through her body.
Her hands reached around to hold him, gripping his thighs in a desperate attempt to find some stability but it was pointless as one hand pulled free of her dress, then slid down her waist.
“I want you,” Sid said, groaning deeply. With a quick movement, his hands pulled away from her breasts, causing Sabrina to cry out. He then spun her around and held her tightly in his arms. “We can’t do this here. When I make love to you, I want a bed and absolute privacy along with several hours to do it right.”
“I don’t think I can take much more of this,” she whispered, her whole body trembling against his strong frame. “If you’re not going to take me upstairs to your bedroom right now, then you can’t touch me for the rest of the night.”
She felt more than heard his rumble of laughter against her cheek which was laying against his chest. “Then you’ve finally reached the point that I’ve been in since I met you,” he said.
“What do you mean?” she asked.
He smiled but shook his head. “No, I’m not going to ask this here. Meet me upstairs tonight after midnight. We need to talk.”
Sid led her out of the bathroom, chuckling at the confusion in her green eyes. “Don’t worry. You’ll like my surprise.”
Sabrina forced a smile on her face but she wasn’t really satisfied with his answer to her unspoken question. Nor was she satisfied with the promise of sexual fulfillment later on. She wanted him now, desperately and she was grinding her teeth in an effort to control herself and stop from flinging her arms around him and demanding that he take her upstairs to his penthouse suite.
As soon as she entered the lobby, a series of people walked up to her with problems or questions and she felt Sid slip away from her waist. She was grateful that he didn’t flaunt their relationship in front of the people who worked for her, but she missed the warmth of his hand on her back.
She quickly dealt with the current round of crises, then made her way to the ballroom where the New Year’s Eve Party was well underway. Hundreds of guests all dressed in their finest, were already dancing, drinking and eating the delicious foods. She’d organized dance classes for whoever wanted them in a separate room as well as entertainers who strolled around the main ballroom, breathing fire, swallowing swords, twirling hula hoops around their waists while balancing a ball of water on their heads among others. It was all very interesting and festive but Sabrina missed most of them since she was moving from room to room, making sure the event went along smoothly. She only had a few minor issues but overall, the event seemed to be a resounding success. By the time the bottles of champagne were poured and the new year rung in, she was feeling proud of another wonderful event gone well.
It was only twelve-thirty in the morning when she felt someone touch her elbow. “Can you break away yet?” Sid asked, his deep voice bringing back memories of their few moments in the bathroom earlier in the night.
She looked around, eager to get away and find out more of his surprise. “Yes. I think everything is under control. Most people will be moving out to gamble in the casino now.” Turning, she smiled up at his handsome face. “And I’m eager to know what you’re secret message is.”
“Come along, then,” he said and put a hand to the small of her back to guide her away.
He took her into the private elevator and as soon as the doors closed, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her. It wasn’t a demanding kiss but was gentle and coaxing, as if he were seducing her softly. Sabrina couldn’t resist this kind of kiss any more than she would be able to resist his more demanding embraces. She leaned greedily into him, enjoying how strong he was and how seductive his mouth as it moved across hers.
