Thread: The Deal of a Lifetime {Niksis & Enigma_x}

Mark had almost forgotten Kate's scent, it send a slight shiver down his spine as he took a deep breath. Perfume can do wonders, he knew, but this was something else. Her scent was a beautiful as she was, to think that someone like that didn't have someone to take care of her confused him. Surely, someone like Kate would have the pick of the litter when it comes to partners. 'Perhaps she dislikes the idea of sticking to one guy?' he thought to himself as he guided her through the crowd and unto the ball room floor. Still holding her hand in his own, Mark pulled her closer. His free hand brushing against the black lace of her dress as he guided his warm hand to her lower back, pulling her just a bit closer still. You looked like you needed a change in company. He said with a playful smile on his features. After their first, and only, meeting, Kate had been haunting his dreams the days that followed. They were pleasant dreams, sure. Some of them chaste, others less so, however she had been on his mind from time to time. So getting the opportunity to spend time with her again, was something Mark was not going to pass up on. Oh you know, working. The honest answer to her question longer than that, he had been extremely busy, however he didn't want to bore her with that. He had not paid her to listen to his troubles, besides, Mark knew that most people ask that question without really wanting to know the answer, so why bother. He held her close as he took lead in the slow dance, allowing the warmth of her body to mix with his own, yet at the same time doing his best to no breach her personal space too much, he remembered her rules after all. Around them echoes of laughter and sounds of conversations could be heard, but to Mark all of that drowned out as he kept his sapphire gaze locked on Kate. Words couldn't begin to describe Kate's beauty, even more so in her current choice of attire. You look beautiful in that dress, Kate. It was the first time since stealing her away that he allowed his eyes to wander, perhaps for a second too long yet he didn't care. The forbidden fruit is always more tempting. Maybe if he treated his wife with more respect than what he showed tonight, he wouldn't have to. Leaning in close, much closer than what decorum dictates, Mark allowed his breath to caress against the edge of her ear as he all but whispered Besides, I can't think of anyone else I'd rather spend this evening with. He knew all too well the effect that he had on women in close proximity, he was confident in himself and his voice reflected this. When Mark spoke, his voice had this almost unquestionable authority to it. The sort of voice that could make a whole room fall silent and listen when spoken. It had been one of his many gifts and to some extent, had been the reason why he had been so successful with his company. Mark kept himself hovering inches from Kate's ear for a few seconds, almost as if teasing her as he squeezed her hand gently. Where would you like to go? Perhaps someplace more quiet? I'd love to get to know the real Kate. His eyes practically glowing with excitement as his mind once more us flooded with images of what she might look like underneath, what sort of underwear, if any, she was wearing, what she would look like naked and perhaps more importantly, what she would look like naked in his bed, tied up. It was only brief, before he suppressed it again, one day, perhaps, but not tonight. For now he was content with her company, he had longed for it.
