"Shall we?" I ask, offering my arm.

She closes her door and steps toward me, slipping her hand around my elbow. I place a hand over hers, keeping her in place, and lead her to the elevator.

“Where are we going tonight?”

“Out to dinner. Just you and I. We can sit and get to know each other better.”

She giggles, “I thought that we’d done that already.”

I tilt my head to the side as I stop in my tracks, “Yes. But this will be different. We’ll have a conversation.”

She looks surprised at my admittance, but I didn’t expect us to be having this much fun and games. I wanted to get to know her differently. Not as her dad’s best friend, but as a friend possibly future lover.

I lead her to the elevator, and we enter in silence, and I sense that she’s thinking too hard about what I’d just said. She’s a thinker, one that likes to try and finding meaning in everything that’s said and done. As we step out of the elevator and glide out of the hotel, on cue Kurt is waiting for us with the limo.

Kurt nods and then greets us both. Swiftly he opens the door for us, being the gentleman that I am, I wait for Emily to step inside first.

It doesn’t take long for us to arrive at the restaurant and after Kurt announces it on the intercom. She looks up at me from under her lashes, biting her bottom lip, and the look goes straight to my cock. I wonder if she knows the effect she has on me and if she reacts the way she does to entice m

e. If yes, it's working. She gives the barest nod of her head, and I assume that is as much answer as I am going to get out of her for a while.

We lock eyes as we sat in the limo as if we’re strangers. I’m keeping my distance because I know that she must be hungry now. We’ve spent all weekend in each other’s pockets, and I’m aware that tomorrow is another day. One where we’ll go back to our old lives. If my plan works then, she needs to come to me. Not for sex, or for money, but only because she wants us to be together. The way that my cock’s begging to be inside her now. I’m not sure that I can resist the temptation to take her.

“Another hotel?”

Emily asks as she points to the MGM hotel which sits above Joël Robuchon’s restaurant.

I laugh and say, “I don’t make a habit of changing hotels?”

She raises an eyebrow and says, “Don’t you?”

I tell Kurt that we’ll call him when we’re finished and on that note, we’re alone again. We walk in sync to the restaurant, and as we reach the doors, we’re greeted by a pretty French hostess. She doesn’t hesitate once I say my name to direct us to our table.

I can tell that Emily’s fascinated by the chandeliers that hang and the beautiful textures of red and green that run from the wall as I casually walk through the restaurant. As her head moves in different directions. Then we grind to a halt, and the hostess opens the doors. Emily breaks the silence by asking, “Just us two?”

I nod, “Just the two of us.”

“Would you like the menu’s now or would you like something to drink as you settle in?”

I nod, “Can you bring just the wine menu for now?”

She smiles, “As you please. Enjoy your meal, Jean-Claude will be your waiter for the night. He’ll be here in a couple of minutes to give you the menus.”

Emily just stares at her, and then as soon as I walk up to the chair, ready for her to sit down. She tells me exactly how she feels.

“Wow, Marvin every time I think that you can’t surprise me. You go and surprise me even more.”

“Is that a compliment?”

She nods, “If you didn’t get that from what I said, then maybe you’re the one that’s tired.”

I got it alright, but there’s something about the way that she’s so relaxed right now that makes her seem even more enchanting.

“Why were you so quiet earlier?”

“I felt guilty,” she nods her head. ‘I thought that I should be at work. Or at least get there and then talk to the remaining staff about…”

“About the fact that you’re going to make the company great again?”
