Chapter 25- Chris

My body ached as if I had been through a week of football practice. I rolled over and saw Lexie wrapped in a sheet, staring out the patio door into Central Park.

"Good Morning. Why didn't you wake me?" I asked.

She turned towards me; her hair mated pointing in all directions. "You were snoring, so I thought you needed your sleep," she replied.

I chuckled at her appearance and walked up behind her placing my hands under the sheet and around her waist whispering in her ear. "Are you as sore as I am?"

"Yes, but it was worth every bit of it," she said resting her chin on my head.

Her neck smiled sweetly as I continued to inhale the fragrance of the many lotions and oils we had experimented with. Our day of shopping ended in a night of passion and the bag of goodies we purchased had created an impetuous side of Lexie.

"It's afternoon, so we should think about getting ready soon. I have a car picking us up at 4 so I can show you a few things on the way since we are spending all our time in this room."

She smiled and looked up at me. "I kinda like this room. Maybe we should skip the party and stay here."

"Not a chance. I'm showing you off in that dress."

"I'm still not sure about that dress," she said turning towards me. "I might need some encouragement to wear it."

The tone in her voice told me what she was looking for and I was reconfirmed as she walked towards the bathroom, leaving the sheet on the floor by my feet. I heard the bathwater running and knew she would be waiting for me inside the tub.

I wasn't sure what I had done to have Lexie, but she was more than I ever dreamed of. It was too good to be true and I was scared something was about to change.

The bathroom smelled of lavender-scented oil and Lexie was neck deep into a pile of bubbles. Her brown hair piled on top of her head and her eyes bright as she peered into mine. "What took you so long?

I climbed into the tub and pulled her onto my lap while she kissed my nose. I touched her swollen lips and grinned. "Even your lips are swollen from last night. How does the rest of your body feel?"

"If hurting to sit gives you an indication, you can make a guess," she laughed.

I bent down to kiss her breasts gently and her body slid towards my mouth for a better fit. "How does this feel?"

She moaned in my ear, "Sore, but don't stop."

I couldn't help but laugh as I pulled away. "I think we better wait until tonight."

Lexie slapped my shoulder, "then quit teasing me."

"I love you and there is nothing more I want to do, but even my tongue hurts," I laughed. I was getting excited thinking about where my tongue had been.

"Fine," she pouted. "You get a pass until tonight." She slid to the back of the tub. "Tell me what tonight will be like," she sighed.

I grabbed her foot and began to rub it. "Well, it will be elegant and everyone will be dressed like kings and queens. You will probably think it is comical, but it's a time when everyone gets dressed up. The food is excellent and the bar is free. So remember to pace yourself, I don't want to carry you home early."

She smiled as I rubbed the other foot. "What else? Who will be there?"

"There will be a couple of bands for dancing on different floors and anyone with money will be there. You just never know who will show up."
