Sealing the Deal (Business and Pleasures) (4 page)

Chapter 11

T
he room was enormous, furnished in ornate rococo designs with a dark wood four-poster bed. Rin investigated the bathroom and to her excitement discovered a corner bath.

Jensen had visited friends staying at this hotel when he was in
Paris a few months ago, but had not stayed here himself, he had chosen this one for Rin as the decor and the views were beautiful.

He had decided that he would use this weekend as th
e opportunity to sound out Rin's true feelings.

He had orchestrated the perfect setting for the answer he
wanted, out of coincidental timing and placement, it had to be a sign!

“Did you bring anything less formal to wear?”
he asked as she re-emerged from the bathroom. He eyed her appreciatively, she looked stylish but severe in the form hugging black cowl necked jacket and pencil skirt. She wore heels of at least 5 inches high, and he could tell from the whisper of her steps, she wore stockings.

“I think so, but I packed in
a hurry. I was looking for something in particular, but I’m sure I put in a handful of non-work items, the mess I’ll be coming home too! There are clothes all over my room now!” she replied, delving into her case. With a sigh of triumph she straightened up holding a silky item in forest green.

“What did you have in mind?”
she asked checking her wrist watch.

“If you’re hungry there is a bistro down the street, if not there is a bar downstairs?” He offered, looking to the
clothing in her hand and hoping she would put on another show for him.

“Oh the bar sounds like a good
idea. I'm really not hungry, just give me a minute.”

She picked up her little velvet makeup bag and disappeared back to the bathroom closing the door behind her.

Jensen pouted, realising there would be no striptease.

Killing time he glanced in the mirror, he had not put enough product in his hair to keep it out of his face, it was getting to that length where he thought about chopping it all off. He located his comb and smoothed his hair back, wondering whether to change as well, but he was
in a £10,000 custom-designed Italian suit. He may as well wear it tonight. He did look damn good if he did say so himself.

He wandered how long it would be
until the conversation continued from the previous night, she had been working hard to pretend it hadn’t happened, but he knew she was still bothered. He certainly was. It was quite obvious that she tried to keep him at arm’s length, but to find out she didn’t trust him stung.

When she reappeared from the
bathroom, Jensen had to compose himself. She wore a tight exotic green silk dress that clung to her curves, accentuating her valley of cleavage and shapely butt. She had unclipped her hair. It was straight and sleek today and seemed much longer than her usual bouncy curls.

“You look
beautiful,” he said.

“Thanks,
your looking pretty hot yourself.” She smiled.

“Hey have you seen the view? Come out on the
balcony.”

He
opened the glass doors. The room looked over a length of green and had a perfect view of the Arc de Triomphe. The balcony was encased by fancy wrought iron framework. She followed him outside to the small area, large enough to fit a little table, two chairs and a potted tree. Rin looked out at the French city and breathed deep in response to its beauty. Jensen took her hand. She didn’t turn from the view but smiled.

“Rin…”

He stopped to find the words.

“You said you didn’t trust
me. I want the chance to earn that from you.”

She looked at him briefly before she blushed.

“I’m sorry that I said that.”

She
down looked at her feet. He didn’t want to make her feel bad. He took a step closer and faced her.

“That’s
okay. I know my past is an issue, but there is nothing I can do about that now. Rin, I came here with you because Anaise was setting you up for a fall.”

He stopped to let her react. Her face contorted for a second then
her jaw clenched and she muttered something prolific.

“She obviously doesn’t know I’ve been seeing
you, or she would not have mentioned it to me. However, the point is, I’m only concerned with you. The company is none of my business, but I didn’t want you to be tricked into making a bad impression in front of the client.” He knew he had to find out if she was really interested now or lose his nerve again. She turned her crystal eyes to his.

“I want to prove myself to you… I don’t know how yet,
but you are all that I want.”

He watched her
, wondering if he should say more. She took a deep breath and stared at the horizon.

“What are you asking?”
she said slowly, her expression was unreadable. He swallowed, trying to ignore how nervous he suddenly felt before continuing.

“I’m asking you how you feel, about
me?” he replied, searching her face for the answer.

“How I feel? I feel bad t
hat I said I didn’t trust you…”

She took a breath and closed her eyes.

“When you left the other night I was really upset, until then I always thought it was dangerous to see you, you know, for the connotations it would have at the company… and that I generally don’t have the time for relationships. But, watching you walk away made me realise…”

She
blushed and dropped her eyes to the ground. Jensen smiled to himself.

“I don’t want it to end, I guess
I like you more than I let on.”

She smiled sheepishly but couldn’t make eye contact.

“You like me huh?” He teased, earning a half-hearted shove.

“Well that’s awesome, because I like you too!” He
laughed, relieved.

“Let’s go get drunk!”

Chapter 12

T
he bar was quiet. It was a large lounge room, with a grand piano on a shallow podium at one end, there were exquisite overstuffed couches arranged in small groups for social parties, and the walls were adorned with oil paintings that appeared to be centuries old.

They had been sat at the bar dri
nking expensive concoctions for the last hour. Rin was starting to giggle a lot, the first sign of the drink’s effect.

“Hey Jens, do you think this place has a pool?” She asked, her cerulean eyes wide with ideas.

“I don’t know. You want to go swimming?” He replied, surprised at her question. She slid off the bar stool, cupping her glass in one hand and clasping his with the other.

“Come on, let’s go and explore!” She pulled him up and exited the room through a door by the piano.

Wandering through hallways and peering into darkened function rooms, they eventually descended to the lower levels. Jensen was about to suggest returning to their room when Rin opened the last door of the long hallway.

“Ah ha!” She cried.

The door opened to an ambient blue light and the warm haze of familiar chemicals; she had found an indoor pool. The pool itself was kidney bean shaped and there was a glass roof that revealed the stars in the night sky. The only light in the room emitted from the underwater pool lighting, it was inviting.

Rin clattered noisily in her heels to the water’s edge and dipped her hand in.

“It’s warm… I’m going in!”

She smiled a wicked grin at Jensen and began to unfasten her shoes.

“You don’t have anything to swim in!” Jensen laughed. He didn’t want to get wet, but he knew she would end up convincing him. He casually sipped at his bourbon and leaned against a pillar enjoying watching her. She didn’t undress seductively this time, but it was still a show to Jensen.

Done
with her shoes, she shimmied out of the green dress and hung it over a chair, she slid the stockings off, dropping them haphazardly, then turned back to Jensen.

“Are you coming
too?" she asked stopping to sip her drink.

“I have too much clothing on to go
swimming,” he replied. She pretended to be sad but then changed her mind leaving the poolside to stalk back to him. Welcoming her into his space, he slipped an arm around her bare shoulders. She smoothed her hands over the lapels of his jacket then tiptoed to meet his lips. He realised her kisses were a distraction while she was unbuttoning him, so he countered by unhooking her bra. She pulled back with an expression of pretend outrage but moved close again to nibble at his earlobe, the jacket now unbuttoned. She slipped her hands under the first layer but before unbuttoning any more she ran her hand down from his chest to his crotch where she cupped and squeezed playfully. She kissed him passionately for a few seconds before unhanding him and pulling her bra that hung loose around her, off and onto the floor. Before Jensen could reach out to touch the heavy orbs of her creamy breasts, she was pressed up against him again, this time un-tucking his shirt and unbuttoning his fly. He tried to reach around her arm to feel the soft flesh of her bare chest, but she twisted away laughing.

“No no my sweet, if you want to
touch, then you must follow!”

She
turned away from him and sauntered to the poolside, stopping to scoop up her drink and take another sip. Jensen felt the stirring in his boxers.
Damn it,
he was going to have to follow her in now. Looking down he realised she had managed to unbutton his shirt too.

She looked
around at him over her shoulder as she dropped her panties, and beckoned with a finger for him to come, then dived expertly into the shimmering depths. Jensen knocked back the last drop of golden liquid and undressed, carefully folding each item and placing them onto a nearby table. In just his boxer shorts he surveyed the glass roof and surrounding exits, though he doubted anyone would come in here now, it was past midnight.

“What are you waiting for?
Incentive?” Rin called from the centre of the pool and squeezed her breasts suggestively.

“The water is wonderful! But I want
company!”

She watched with a look of deviance as he removed his underwear, she smiled half under the water when he stopped at the edge of the pool, her eyes fixed on his semi.

Her appreciation was all he needed and dived in, resurfacing just in front of her glistening body.

Jensen dipped his head back to slick his dark hair
down. The water was warm, but her naked body was more inviting. He moved in on her cinnamon nipple first, biting gently then sucking. She slid her hands over his wet shoulders, her fingers discovering every dip and hill of his toned bulk. He felt her legs slide apart, lifting her thigh over his and pressing her body against him.

“So you don’t want me to do any swimming then?”
he asked around a mouthful of breast.

“No I just wanted an excuse to get you naked and
slippery,” she replied, digging her nails into his back as he nipped her sensitive stone nipple.

“You never need an
excuse. I would be happy to lock our room door and fuck you senseless the entire weekend,” he replied reaching for her perfect shapely ass. She moaned a little as he found the cleft of her butt cheeks.

“Mmmm, but I love the risk, there could be people watching us from the roof right now!”
She giggled and reached between them to hold him in her hand.

“You little
grand stander you!”

He squeezed the
heaving bulge of her bosom to his face and pressed her against his groin, trapping her arm between their bodies.

“You bring out the minx in
me. I'm usually quite sensible!” She gasped, while rubbing the tip of his cock over her clit. She was taking charge. He loved the sexual animal she became if he allowed her to lead, but it was hard to take a back seat. He longed to dominate her small frame, to manipulate and tease her.

Her
hand was behind his head, her fingers buried in the wet hair. She brought her face down to his, still rubbing herself against his erection. Her mouth slanted above his. Lips locked together he tasted the faint remains of her sweet drink on her tongue like an aphrodisiac. With both hands gripping her cute little butt, he hoisted her up and over his stomach ready to impale her, she guided him in and leaned back a little, looking him in the eyes but unseeing. The pool water had washed away her natural lubricant so entering her was a little difficult. He pushed into her a little then drew back, she closed her eyes in preparation, and he pulled her down onto him, making her cry out. The friction was short-lived as he pressed her down again and her arousal coated him. She encircled his neck tightly with her arms, squashing her slippery tits against his chest, the water around their waists splashing manically with the motion of their bodies. Glistening and slick, her hands were all over him, unable to get enough. She hooked both her legs around his back and let him manoeuvre her, weightless in the water.

He ground her down onto him harder and faster
losing himself in the rhythm, building the pressure of his climax. Rin arched back, spiralling into the oblivion of pleasure. Her pulsing depths triggered his release and pulling her against his body, he drove into her hard and deep until he reached his zenith.

Still panting Jensen lifted her off of him and
sank down to his shoulders in the warm water. Rin lay back and floated. Her scarlet hair swishing out like a cloud of red smoke around her, framing the pale distention of her floating bosom. She stared up through the ceiling windows lost in thought.

Jenson watched her shining breasts bobbling with the motion of the
water. She was still heaving in breaths, it was hypnotic to him.

“Hey,
Karina…” He said quietly still enraptured by her chest. Rin sat up and looked at him with peaceful eyes.

“I have never done this before, I
’m not sure how to go about it…but, I wanted to ask you…”

He
blinked a couple of times, feeling his mouth go dry. She looked at him questioningly and drifted closer.

“I
want you to be my girlfriend.”

His stomach was in knots. There was a long second before Rin spoke.

“You want me to be your girlfriend?”

Her eyebrows had shot up in
surprise. Jensen was relieved she reacted this way instead of negatively, but he wasn’t out of the woods yet. He located her hand underwater and brought her forward so they were face to face.

“Yes… I’ve never felt like this before, all I can think about is you, you’re in my
head, you're in my heart, I want more than just an occasional date. I want you.”

Well
it was all out there now, jeez I hadn’t meant to say that much
.

Rin was still looking
shocked, her mouth opened, but no words followed. She looked into his eyes as if searching for the answer but Jensen couldn’t stand there waiting any longer. He leaned forward and pressed his lips to hers. At first she remained still and in shock, but she came to life as Jensen pushed his tongue into her mouth and she kissed him back readily. He dared not stop in case her answer was no but she was still kissing him and she had moved her hands to his waist, he remained hopeful. He pulled her close but drew back from her lips.

“
Rin, please give me an answer?”

He looked imploringly into her eyes and waited, holding her body against his. She blinked slowly before replying.

“Yes, I will be your girlfriend Jensen,” she replied with a shy smile. Jensen’s smile was brighter than the sun.

“Well thank fuck for that!” h
e cried lifting her to his height and cuddled her in triumph.

They spent another hour in the pool celebrating their new status with the appreciation of each other’s bodies, before a damp dash to their room w
here the celebration continued.

Tomorrow
would be just another business day, in the city of romance.
