Steamed 2 (Steamed #2) (2 page)

The waitress arrived with three glasses of wine. I took a
sip of mine and closed my eyes. Yep, that was exactly what I needed at the
moment. “Thank you,” I said to the waitress. She smiled, “I will bring your
salad and some bread shortly.”

“Sounds fabulous to me,” I said.

We watched her leave and then got back to Link.

“So what happened between you two that night, you seemed
attached to each other all night. When we left we couldn't find you.”

“Yeah, I think I left before you.”

“Did you guys hook up?” Sarah asked with a smile on her
face.

“Let's just say that I got more than I bargained for in the
VIP lounge,” I said laughing.

“Oh my god Gemma!” Sarah shrieked.

Lisa was just grinning.

“I cannot believe you did that! Hell, what am I talking
about, I'm so jealous. So how was it? Was he hung like a horse?”

I almost spit out my wine.

“Stop! Sarah you know that I never kiss and tell.”

“Come on; give us a little something to go on.”

“He's a damn good kisser, I'll give you that. And he bought
us a $400 bottle of champagne!”

“What? Are you serious? That's insane!”

“That's what I thought too.”

“He's clearly a man after my own heart.”

“I'd say. Any man that buys you $400 champagne is definitely
your soul mate,” Sarah said.

I giggled, “You think so?”

“I don't know much about love… you guys know my love life is
a disaster, but I know you and a guy that pulls out those stops for a girl that
he doesn't even know, well that says something. Imagine what will happen when
he actually knows you well.”

I smiled, “You're right.”

“You definitely need a guy like that. He sounds perfect for
you Gemma, good for you. I'm happy for you,” Sarah said.

“Me too,” Lisa added.

“Thanks guys, I feel the same way. But I also feel guilty
about Jared too, he's going to be so mad at me when he finds out I've been with
his mortal enemy this whole time.”

The waitress came and delivered our salads and some bread.
We dug in right away and I started feeling the grumblings in my stomach
disappear. The salad was fresh and tangy, just delicious. I cut a piece of
bread and buttered it with a garlic spread. Biting into the soft warm bread put
a smile on my face.

“This is delicious!”

“Look Gemma, you need to understand that Jared is a big boy,
a grown man. He put you into a difficult situation that he shouldn't have
involved you in the first place. It's like he's still a child sometimes. It's
not your fault you fell for Link, my god who wouldn't?”

I laughed. “Thanks.”

“My point is, maybe Jared will be a little ticked but so
what? I don't think you did anything wrong. Jared will get over it. This will
all be water under the bridge. In the end you have to do what's right for you
and your life and I think Link could really be good for you if you let him.”

“Wow, thanks a lot. You definitely helped me feel a lot
better about things. It's always good to chat with you.”

“Anytime girl,” Sarah said with a smile.

We dug into our lunches and enjoyed the rest of the
afternoon together. Although I still held some guilt about Jared, my friends
had really helped make me feel a lot better about the whole situation.

Chapter
Three

After I left the girls for lunch I headed home. I wanted to
have a bubble bath before my date with Link that night. My day had been going
fantastic so far and I wanted an opportunity to relax before I saw him. I
always found that if I was fully relaxed before I went out on a date, I wasn't
so nervous and things typically flowed naturally. I always
seemed to be on edge with Link
,
but
he was
just so damn sexy. Just looking at him made me feel nervous. My stomach always
did cartwheels around him. That was probably a good thing though, if you were
dating a guy that didn't excite you then there was probably something wrong.
Life was too short to date a man that didn't spark something inside you.

I pulled up to my building and walked through the lobby
area. The doorman winked at me and I just smiled and waved as I went by. I got
on the elevator and made my way up to my apartment. I was so looking forward to
opening up another bottle of wine and sinking into a hot tub. When the elevator
doors opened I got out and walked towards my apartment. As I grew closer to my
door I noticed that there was something sitting outside my door. Walking up I
saw that it was a bouquet of red roses. That was why the doorman had winked at
me. I must have received a delivery and he had brought them up for me. It was
the most beautiful arrangement of red roses that I had seen in a long time.
There had to have been at least 20 of them. The arrangement had to have cost a
fortune. I picked them up off the floor and noticed there was a card. I plucked
it off the bouquet and let myself into my apartment.

Bringing the flowers to my kitchen counter I set the vase
down. Slowly I took the card out of the tiny envelope and smiled. Of course it
was from Link, who else could it be from? The card was intriguing.

The other night was just an appetizer. I’m
looking forward to the main course.

I grinned as my heart did flips. I couldn't help but think
about the last time I had seen Link in all his naked glory. Was there a chance
we were going to have sex again that evening? I could barely contain myself
thinking about it. God, I would love nothing more than to wrap my body around
his again. The sex between us had been phenomenal. There was no doubt that I
wanted to have sex with Link again, but would it happen that night? I smiled as
I thought about him. So bold, sexy and spontaneous. I loved it and I knew it
would be really easy to fall for someone like Link; he was just such a great
catch.

I set my flowers up in a location in the living room where I
could admire them at all times. They were just so beautiful. How thoughtful it
was for him to send them before our date. Thoughtful or sexy? The fact that he
was thinking of me made me a little hot.

I went back into the kitchen to fetch myself some wine. I
opened up a fresh bottle and poured myself a glass. I stood at the counter and
sipped at my wine as I remembered how it tasted to have Link's cock in my
mouth. I got wet just thinking about how his cock moved in and out of me
slowly. His mouth had tasted like champagne and the thought of putting my lips
on his again caused an ache inside of me.

“Mmmm....girl you better get a hold of yourself.”

I decided to go run the bath and get to my relaxing sooner
than later. Once in the bathroom I sat on the edge of the tub and turned on the
taps to adjust the water temperature. I added a small amount of bubbles to the
water. I didn't like too many, just enough to add a glorious smell to the bath.

I watched as the bathtub filled with water and began to
undress. I went back into my bedroom and laid my clothes out on the bed once
again. I headed back to the tub naked and stepped gently into the hot water. It
felt glorious against my skin. As I lay down in the tub the heat just melted
away the soreness and stiffness from my hike. There was nothing more relaxing
than a bubble bath; it just eased the stress away immediately.
The hotter the better; that
was
the way that I like my baths. The water cooled down so quickly that it was best
to start it off hot.

I took down the
showerhead
and turned it on. All I could think about
was Link's cock and I wanted to make myself feel good. I had wine and a
bathtub, why not play a little? I didn't want an orgasm necessarily; I would
leave that for Link to take care of later on. I knew he would do a good job of
it and he would probably give me multiple orgasms. I just wanted to feel good,
I was a little horny thinking about Link's message to me and I couldn't help
but play with my pussy a little.

I put the
showerhead
against
my clit and turned it up, careful not to push water directly inside me. It
tickled at my clit and I massaged the water against my most sensitive parts. I
leaned back against the tub and closed my eyes. Waves of pleasure came over me
and I moaned. I almost couldn't wait to see Link and see what he had in store
for me. He knew exactly what to do to make me feel good. I slid two fingers
inside my pussy as the water continued to tickle my clit. I fingered myself
slowly and then a little faster. I moaned again feeling incredible. I was
capable of making myself feel just as good as a man could, it was just more fun
having a man around. I felt an orgasm build up and I let myself go. “Oh!” It
felt amazing letting go of pleasure and allowing myself to experience it all. I
got an orgasm after all.

I turned the
showerhead
off
and attached it back to the tub. I leaned back against the tub and took a sip
of my wine. I was really looking forward to seeing Link that night.

Chapter
Four

There was a knock at my door and I went to answer it. When I
opened the door there was Link on the other end and he swooped in immediately
to give me a passionate kiss. He totally caught me off guard but I wasn't
complaining. Our kisses sizzled together and I pulled him in close. By the time
we were done kissing we were both practically panting. I looked up at him and
bit my lip.

“Well hello there.”

“Hello,” I smiled.

“Are you ready to go?”

Damn, I was hoping for a little action before we left. I
wondered if I could convince him to stay to have dessert first. My body would
make a really great dessert. “Sure, where are we going?”

“It's a secret,” he said as he lifted his finger to his
lips.

“Okay fair enough.”

Dessert was going to have to wait by the looks of it.
We headed out of my
apartment and went to the elevator. He grasped my hand in his and held it
tight. I couldn't help but smile at his sweet gesture. It reminded me of the
couple I saw on the trail. We rode down together and got out of the elevator. I
waved once again at the doorman and it reminded me of the flowers.

“I meant to thank you for the gorgeous flowers; it was a
wonderful surprise to come home to.”

“You are very welcome.” He squeezed my hand.

“I especially liked the message,” I said with a wink.

He grinned as we left the building and got into his car. I
had no idea where we were going but I really didn't care. I was just happy to
be with such a handsome and kind man. My friends were right; I was a very lucky
woman.

I was both surprised and pleased when we pulled up to his restaurant.
Finally! I was going to be able to taste his famous cooking for myself. The
very thought of it made my stomach grumble anxiously.

I was a little confused that he would bring me to his
restaurant instead of just cooking for me at his home. It would have been much
more private and besides, it wasn't like he could cook for me himself at the
restaurant.

When we went in the hostess greeted us and escorted us to a
private room in the back.

“What's going on Link?” I couldn't have been more confused at
that point.

“I have cooked all day for you. And now I'm looking forward
to feeding it to you.”

“Oh my god Link, you didn't have to go to all that effort,
we could have made dinner together at my place...or yours.”

“Don't be silly. It was my pleasure and I'm looking forward
to getting your opinion on everything. I know you are sort of a foodie,” he
said with a wink.

I laughed. As we sat down at the table our server started
bringing out several courses as well as many bottles of wine. I glanced briefly
at the bottles he was bringing out and was very happy indeed.

As we ate we talked about our respective families and
whether or not we were close to them. I laughed a lot. Spending time with Link
and as the night wore on I wasn't sure if I was becoming drunk off the wine or
if I was drunk over Link.

Chapter
Five

It felt like hours since I had arrived at the restaurant and
I felt that I had lost track of time. We had been talking for what felt like
forever and I finally needed to excuse myself to go use the ladies room. I had
drunk so much wine that I worried that I would pee myself if I stayed any
longer. That was not something I wished to test.

When I walked out of the private room everything was dark. I
wasn't sure what time it was but it was obvious that the restaurant had been
closed for a while now. We had been there so long that the restaurant had
closed. I hurried in the dark to find the bathroom.

Once there I tinkled while I thought of the delicious menu
that Link had just served to me. Not only had the food and wine been to die for
but also
the
company was even better. I chuckled at the thought that he had cooked me
lobsters. Talk about a great first impression. Lobster, garlic mashed potatoes
and crispy green beans. Every bite that I took had been even better than the
last. Link was certainly a very talented chef and I was honored to have had him
cook for me personally.
