Winter In August (17 page)

He kissed me and ran his fingers through my long black hair, pulling the strands to his nose.

“Your hair smells like cinnamon and vanilla.”

“Simmer down big boy. Get to your meeting. Remember anticipation is the best aphrodisiac.” I laughed at him as I stepped out of the elaborate SUV. I turned around and blew him a kiss before I walked back into the salon.

There was Sven watching out the front window and smiling, walking toward me.

“Nice ride in the city?”

“Very. I’m sorry. He doesn’t like to hear the word, ‘no’,” I said.

“No sweat, baby. I’ve been there. I’m totally jealous right now. He’s hot.”

I hurried to my station to set up for a client.

“Yes, that he is. I didn’t think he was my type, but I may have to change what my type is.”

“I knew you would change your mind. I told you.” I stuck my tongue out at him.

I was daydreaming about him most of the morning. If only all my mornings could be so satisfying. Funny thing was, there was nothing sexual involved.

The day went by quickly and around closing time, a box was delivered to me.

“This is bullshit, Gabby. How come you get all the deliveries nowadays?” scoffed Tab, as he handed me the enormous box. The card simply said:

Don’t be mad. I know you won’t have time to shop after work. I had my assistant shop for you. By the way, I closed the deal. Thank you, Italian princess.

Be mad. How could I be mad? The women in the waiting area were urging me to open the box. The flush of embarrassment rose through my cheeks. I reluctantly opened the box, not knowing what to expect. There were gasps and moans. Carefully pulling out the gorgeous gown, I almost gasped when I looked at what he sent me. The tag on the dress said Versace and in the deepest blue I had ever seen. The dress was a symbol of sophistication and glamor. The satin fabric of the dress reflected the natural lights in the salon. I held it to me and the customers clapped and squealed. I noticed it was strapless with a slit up the front. I have always dreamed about a designer dress, but I never thought I would wear one.

Sven almost had an orgasm when he spotted the dress and Tab gasped.

“I have to see you in this, baby. Oh my God. I smell couture,” yelled Tab, holding his mouth.

“I’m not putting this on in here. I’ll send you a picture.”

Sven screeched, “Oh my God. You are going to be a vision.”

“I hope the dress fits. My ass is a little large,” I said holding onto the exquisite dress.

“Your ass is going to be a work of art in that dress. JLo wears Versace,” said Tab.

I couldn’t get home fast enough but I didn’t want to take the dress on the subway. Tab offered to bring me home as long as he was the first to see me in the dress. As soon as I ran inside my house, I slid the dress on. The color was amazing against my olive skin. The length showed enough leg as the slit went past my knee. I never dreamed in a million years I would ever wear a Versace. I couldn’t wait to tell Harper. She was at work and sent me a text she was going to be working late. I was thankful at least she was in the country. I took a picture of myself and texted Sven and her.

Yes, this is Versace. Going to a fundraiser tonight with Blondie. He sent over the dress. WTF.

Within seconds, Harper answered back.

OMG. You look like sex and heaven. Go get em. I wish I was there with you. Talk tomorrow. Be safe.

Sven, of course, had emojis as a response. What was I doing in such an expensive dress? I was just Gabby Barone from Ohio. This date, this dress, and this man were all too much.

Promptly at five, the doorbell let me know my knight in shining armor had arrived. I couldn’t wait for him to see me.

I noticed I was shaking from the inside when I went to the door. Nervous energy pulsed through my veins. I opened the door and my eyes met his gaze. I stood there as his eyes raked me from top to bottom.

“I knew that would be perfect for you, I didn’t know how perfect.”

“You didn’t need to buy me this dress. I have dresses.”

“You do, I’m sure, but not this dress. You filled this dress out to perfection. It’s a shame I’ll be taking it off you as soon as this is over.”

“Oh, you think so?”

I shivered thinking of my need to have him in some sexual way before we arrived at the dinner. I was feeling frisky when we slid into the limo. Colt ran his hand up my tanned oiled thigh.

“This fits you amazingly. Jesus Christ. I don’t think I’m going to be worth anything tonight looking at you.”

“Stop. I’m a regular girl in a very expensive dress, Colt.”

“There is nothing regular about you, Gabby Barone. You are anything but regular. I talked to Marlene today, and I told her to stop harassing you.”

“How did that go? I may need to wear a bulletproof vest tonight if she’s there.”

He laughed and straightened his cufflinks on his shirt. “She was pissed, but I told her if she bothered you again, I wouldn’t be so nice.”

He leaned over and kissed me forcefully on my lips. I kissed him back as seductively as I could. I owed him a great deal for the way I looked and him telling Marlene to back off. The payback was going to start as soon as possible. I let my tongue delve into his mouth as he sucked lightly. His hands glided down my back and around my butt.

“I don’t want to take this off, but I want you right now,” I said in his mouth covering me with kisses.

“I need to be inside you, right fucking now.”

“Or what, you won’t be able to give your speech?”

“That’s correct.”

“I have some power over you, first the deal this morning and now your speech. I’m one hell of a woman.”

“You have no idea. Come here close to me.” Colt pushed his body against mine and his hard cock was pressed up against my stomach. I let my body melt into his. Colt grabbed my waist and I pulled my dress up at the slit and straddled him.

“Fuck me.” I ran my hands down his chest, and I could feel his muscles tense.

“You may need to remove your pants very soon. I have no panties on and you’re making me very wet.”

“Jesus, Gabby. You don’t have panties on?” He reached under my dress and grabbed onto to my bare ass, sinking his fingers into my flesh. I reached down and undid his belt.

“I’m serious Colt. I’m drenched.”

I undid his pants and pulled his zipper down. He was hard as steel and I needed him inside me.

“Gabby.” His erection was so big and strained against my aching sex. My skin was flushed. I closed my eyes enjoying his touch and his mouth tasting me everywhere. I craved him and wanting a man so intensely wasn’t something I was used to. Colt was an assault on all my senses.

“Hold on a minute,” Colt said out of breath.

He put the partition down on the limo a little.

“Ronnie, drive around a while. I’ll let you know when to head to the dinner.”

Ronnie looked in the rear view mirror and caught my eye.

“Yes, Mr. Andrews.” He smiled. The partition went back up and I had Colts pants pulled down.

“What you have done to me is ridiculous, Colt. I don’t even like blondes.”

“I see that. My charm and great taste in dresses have won you over.”

Putting my hands on the headrest behind him, I lifted myself on my knees. Colt lifted his cock upright and I sat slowly, feeling all of him as I did. He went in so easily. He grabbed my hips and leaned me into him. Up and down I worked him as the sound of my wetness filled the limo. I was looking at his face, watching him as the fire built inside both of us. Both of us were panting as the storm of pleasure took over our bodies. The gleam in Colts eyes softened me more to him as the climax built inside. My pussy contracted around him.

“Gabby,” Colt reached his thumb down to my clit and stroked. I moved my body in a different angle to open myself up more to take all of Colts girth.

“Don’t turn away from me or close your eyes. I want to look at you when you come. Come, Gabby.”

Out of pleasure, I closed my eyes and let his cock caress every inch of me.

“Open your eyes, Gabby.” Mr. Alpha male was making an appearance and I was intrigued. I opened my eyes and stared into his.

“You’re tight and plush. Fuck, I love how bare you are.”

Deeper and deeper he pushed his hips into me as I held on and I looked into his eyes. The orgasm took over my body hard and fast. His body pushed into me as he released. Sweat covered my skin as we watched each other come, pumping me over and over. His neck muscles bulged and the sweat dampened his upper lip. His climax ripped through his body as he stiffened against me. I licked his neck to taste his salty skin and kissed his full lips. With him coming I became turned on again. I started rocking back and forth as his cum covered me. My pussy came alive again wanting more. Colt realized I was close, made sure my dress was out of the way, flipped me onto the seat, rubbing his palm against my sex.

“You’re not done yet, I see. The feel of my cum has you all worked up.” Colt was bound and determined to get me off once more before we made our way to the dinner. With expert skill, he rubbed me in just the right place until I started shaking.

“You like that, baby?” he breathed as he licked my lips, and pulled my breast out of my dress with his other hand. His mouth locked onto my nipple.

“Fuck, I’m coming so hard, Colt.” I cried out. No one has made me come more than once in a night. I usually had to fake it. There was no faking this.

“I know. I feel you throbbing against my hand.” I was beyond turned on and practically out of my mind. That wonderful warm feeling traveled through my body again. I grabbed on to his hair and rode out the exhilarating climax.

When my body relaxed Colt took his hand away and sat back against the seat, both of us out of breath and exhausted.

“I don’t think I even remember who I am right now let alone can give a speech.” Colt was putting himself back together. He tucked in his white shirt into his black dress pants, tightened his bow tie, and licked his lips. I was careful to clean myself with tissues I had in my purse.

“You’ll be fine. Remember what we did. I want to do it all over again tonight, only I want you in my bed this time. I’m going to take over you tonight, Mr. Andrews.”

“I’ll have to let you. I don’t have enough energy to fight you.

dinner was a very elaborate affair at the Waldorf Astoria hotel. This grand hotel was decorated so beautifully with soft lights and white linen on the tables. White roses adorned the tables and were everywhere. I’d never been in the Waldorf and was in awe by its beauty and elegance.

The moment we walked into the main dining area, all eyes were on us. We made quite the entrance, and I was becoming a little nervous at being put on such display. Colt kept me grounded by holding onto my waist and whispering “You got this.” Colt must have sensed my nervousness, walked over to the bar, and grabbed two glasses of wine. He held onto my hand and kissed my fingers as he entered and was greeted by everyone. He was more than pleased to introduce me to as many people as he could. Everyone was nice to me and seemed to accept the fact I was there with him.

We made our way to the dining area and I was famished, though I don’t like to eat at these things. I was too self-conscious and when the food came, I had a few bites. After two orgasms and nothing to eat, I could have scarfed down anything, but I would wait till I got home.

I noticed Marlene right away. She was watching Colt and I out of the corner of her eye. I kept my cold gaze fixed on her as we approached our table. Colts seat was right next to her. She was cold and crass at the time of the dinner and barely gave Colt a notice. She was in full bitch face the entire night, but I paid her no attention as I enjoyed myself. Colt seemed to be enamored by everything I did and said as we ate, laughed, and began to know each other a little more. I explained to him that traditionally, Caesar salad had anchovies, which he never knew, and I informed him I was a staunch Democrat campaigning during all the elections. He, on the other hand, was a Republican to which I told him, I would have him converted by election season. I was confused as to how he was a Republican when his dad worked for Clinton. He laughed and said it was because his mother was a Republican and he campaigned for Busch with her. Not a good enough reason for me so I had some work to do, but he would be easy. He threw in a few kisses and a hand up my leg under the table a few times. Half way through dinner, Colt wiped his mouth and whispered in my ear.

“I have to speak now. Are you okay?” I nodded and he stood, bending down to kiss me.

“I’ll be right back. Don’t leave,” he winked at me.

“Not a chance,” I smiled and kissed him again. There was a tap on a microphone and the guests began to quiet down.

“Ladies and Gentleman, it’s my pleasure to introduce the man who has made this night happen. The man who has given so much to these children over the years, Colt Andrews.” The guests clapped, and some stood. What he spoke about seemed to bring out a different side of him. He became more passionate and emotional talking about the children and what they’d been through being victims of abuse. He moved many guests to tears and when he was finished, everyone gave him a standing ovation.
