Something Gained

Chapter Nineteen

Back in my hotel room I took a shower and then set about getting ready for the team dinner. I did my makeup and curled my long dark hair and then got dressed in a copper long sleeved silk shirt and some white jeans with heels. I looked at my phone and was right on time. We would be leaving in the next 10 minutes.

Are you ready?

Daniel was texting, I replied yes and then heard a knock at my door a couple of minutes later. I opened it up and Daniel was at the door in a smart shirt and trousers. He looked so handsome, but I didn't miss his jaw drop when he laid eyes on me.

"Do you want to come in or are you going to stand in the doorway?" I asked him. He shut his mouth and took a couple of steps inside before closing the door behind him
"You're not wearing that, you can't" he said, I walked over to my fridge, and took the bottle of wine I had out and poured myself a glass and leaned against the counter drinking it.
"Why not?" I quizzed him. Was there something wrong with what I was wearing?
"Because I don't want other people ogling you. Your boobs, just you. You look absolutely stunning and I don't want people looking at you" he said coming over and putting his hands on my waist. I took another sip of wine and winked
"I doubt it, but if they look they can all they want but it will still be you I come back to" I said. I've never seen him smile so big and that was saying something.
"You'll always come back to me?" He asked confirming my words
"It will always be you" I said, reaching up and kissing him. I felt him smile again into the kiss. He mumbled something and I thought I heard what he said but I wasn't sure. "What was that?" I said pulling away
"I think I'm falling for you" he whispered. His brown eyes stared into my blue ones. I never felt so secure, so happy and so content. He kissed me again before their was another knock on the door. I finished my drink and side stepped away from Daniel and went to answer the door. Upon opening I found Lando, dressed in similarly smart attire to Daniel, I let him in and he greeted Daniel.
"Well done for the making the effort" I said gesturing to them both. I picked up my phone and put it in my bag before leaving my room with Lando and Daniel
in tow.

On our way out of the hotel I wasn't expecting the amount of cameras and paparazzi that appeared. I moved closer to Daniel and he put his arm around me to protect me, Michael was right behind me. I knew what this job entailed and how people were with pictures and trying to meet the drivers, but you never knew what they were like and sometimes they could be nasty. We got to the car and Daniel took my hand and helped in the car and got in after me. Followed by Lando, Michael and Jon.
"You okay?" Lando asked sitting next to me, I nodded and got involved in the conversation in the car with them all.

The whole team was in the restaurant and once we were all settled down and had drinks, Zak stood up with his glass and everyone fell silent and looked towards him. Under the table Daniel put his hand on my leg, he was sitting on my left and Lando my right. I gave him a smile and looked towards Zak with everyone else.
"Welcome everyone, thank you all for coming firstly. I thought it would nice to get us all together while we've got a couple of days off so enjoy your downtime, because come Thursday we prepare to go again, and it's going to be a good one. I also wanted to thank each and every single one of you for what you do every day and I'm glad to have you all here and finally I wanted to wish Alex a very happy birthday for Saturday, let's try and give her a great birthday present, but for now I'm sure you'll all join me in wishing her happy birthday!" he said, he raised his glass and we all cheered and raised our glasses as well. I felt the heat rise to my cheeks as everyone looked at me and smiled and chorused happy birthdays. I smiled at everyone. Daniel gave me a look and I wasn't entirely sure what it was, I looked at his curiously and he shook his head.

On our way back to the hotel, the five of us got in the car and chatted away I was certainly feeling a bit tipsy.
"How did we not know it was your birthday on Saturday?" Michael quizzed me.
"We did?" Lando said gesturing to him and Jon
"Sorry, it's just not a big deal when someone turns 28" I laughed nervously, "I'm two years from 30"
"Hey! That's the best time! Plus you're not 30 yet so don't worry" Daniel said
"I suppose so"
We went into the hotel, again being greeted by cameras and flashes as we went in. We got up to our floor and everyone said goodnight and went into their rooms, I went to say goodnight to Daniel and he gave me a look
"Ha, no. You're coming in here" he said, he took my hand and pulled me
"Can I just go and get some pyjamas or something first?" I asked. He shrugged and closed his door
"What? If you're going to your room we might as well stay there" he said. He had a point and I was fine with it to be honest. I opened up my door and he followed me in. He flopped down on the bed and took out his phone and started scrolling. I let him be and went into my bathroom, I had this energy, like I had lost all inhibitions, and had no qualms, maybe it was all the wine. I took off my makeup and I slipped off my clothes and just left my black lacey underwear on. I took a deep breath and walked out the bathroom. Daniel didn't hear me come out and so I leaned up against the doorway to the bedroom and cleared my throat.

Daniel

I was sitting scrolling through my phone and saw some pictures from us leaving the hotel that were already online. I heard Alex clear her throat and I looked up and my eyes nearly popped out of my head, what an image. She was standing there in her black underwear, her dark hair still wavy and framing her face, she had one hand up on the door way and just oozed confidence it was so sexy.
I crawled off of the bed towards her and shoved my jacket off and threw it off to the side somewhere, I couldn't take my eyes off of her, I licked my lips and my eyes flashed to her chest and back up to her eyes. I put one hand on her chin and stroked along her jaw as the other hand traced shapes up her thigh, I moved towards her neck and I grabbed her legs.

"Jump" I whispered in her ear, she did as she was told and wrapped her legs around my waist as I pushed her back against the wall, my lips were millimetres from hers and I could hear her breathing, she was shaking but I could tell from her eyes it wasn't a bad shaking, and suddenly I couldn't wait any longer, my mouth collided with hers, it felt like everything exploded in my head, all i wanted was her, her hands twisted in my hair like normal and I loved it. She tugged my hair and my head moved back and our lips disconnected, she went straight for my neck and kissed all down. I let out a moan and pushed her into the wall more, I moved my hands so one was supporting her underneath her bum, while I moved the other back to her chin and I moved her head which granted me access to her neck, I bit down gently in the right spot
"Daniel" she moaned, and that out me over the edge, I spun round to the bed and threw her down, I ripped off my shirt, my belt and kicked off my trousers, she adjusted herself on the bed, I leaned down above her and ripped open her bra, she gasped and I grabbed her hands and pinned them above her head
"What do you want?" I growled at her
"You" she looked me dead in the eye, no hesitation.

I discarded our underwear and made love to her for the longest time, savouring every second as I had done up until now. I held onto her hands above her head, she struggled a bit and it only spurred me on more, I got faster and rougher, losing myself a bit, I looked down and she moaned my name and I knew she was okay so I got faster and faster until we were both done, I fell next to her. And she sighed I looked over at her and she had to biggest smile on her face
"You okay?" I asked her
"Perfect" she replied, I pulled her as close as I could get her and kissed her forehead
