The Girl With The Candy Floss Hair

Phoenix

Anthony grabs a shawl from a bag Teri hadn't opened, shakes it open and drapes it over her shoulders. Noticing as he tucks it over her shoulder that the dress manages to cover most of the marks, he has left on her pail skin but she has a lovely mark on her collarbone from his teeth. In the same bag is a small clutch for her phone and not much else. He slips an arm around her shoulder and leads her out the door. Teri feels beautiful but also very outside her comfort level. She slips her hand into Anthony's and wraps herself around his arm in the elevator. Anthony squeezes her hand, turns her in front of him and pulls her against his body. His lips brush gently over Teri's lips. The elevator dings, he pulls away and they walk arm and arm out the door. They make a pretty fine-looking couple; heads actually turn as they walk through the lobby. The girl at the front desk had helped with the delivery plans and spent her shift wishing someone would treat her like that someday. Anthony holds the door open for Teri, as she starts to sit, she realizes is she is not careful someone's going to get quite the few. Anthony moves to stand in front of her blocking anyone's view, as she slides into her seat. He moves around to the other door, and climbs in. His hand goes directly to her knee, trailing his fingers along her thigh. The restaurant is on the 54th floor and the views and food is amazing. Their table was set in a corner away from the hustle and bustle of the restaurant. Anthony orders for both of them. They chat quietly and drink a bottle of wine with dinner. Teri opens up a little telling him more about her life and job and the small town she is from. Anthony spends the dinner watching Teri's every move, the way she flips her hair, the way she smiles and her eyes light up as she talks.

The night has been perfect Teri feels like a princess. She has drunk just enough wine to be feeling the soft glow but not enough to feel out of control. The food had been amazing, and they had shared some sweet fluffy desert that she couldn't pronounce. Anthony announced he had ordered an uber for them tomorrow, he would go to the airport and then it would take her home. She had tried to talk him out of it, the train was easy and wouldn't cost near as much. He had taken her hand in his looked her in the eyes and captured her attention with just his look "All ready decided. My mind is made up." She had to admit to herself that letting hm decide and make choices did make life easier. She told him that and that taking the train alone with all her new stuff had sounded very daunting. He had smiled picked up her hand and kissed her palm. "I want to make your life better" After dinner they had moved over to a section of the bar with a viewing area that was all glass that looked out over the city, there was actually no other tall builds on this side for a few blocks. Teri was fascinated, they were so far up and the lights of the city sparkled. Anthony had stepped away for a moment to take care of something so she had wondered over to the window. Anthony stepped up behind her and wrapped his hands around her hips, their eyes met in the reflection of the window and she smiled. He trailing his fingers up her sides, his fingers brush over the soft skin under her arms, he can feel goosebumps on her skin. She looks around and realizes they are alone. Teri's body reacts to his touch, she feels a tingling in her groin and tries hard not to moan. He brushes her hair to the side and kisses her neck lightly. He smiles watching her body react to him, he brings his hand up her ribs, cupping her breasts he runs his thumb across her already hard nipple. He whispers "This reminds me of last night. Love the way your body reacts to my touch."

Teri closes her eyes and leans back against Anthony his body is strong and solid against her back, he wraps his arms around her, and pulls her close. Tilting her head back she kisses his cheek. Anthony turns her in his arms. "I have something for you" He pulls a box out of his jacket pocket. It's a black satin jeweler box, Teri reaches out with her hands shaking a bit. Glancing up at him then back to the box. Here voice is quiet and shaky. Anthony cups her cheek in his palm lifting her eyes to meet his. Inside the box is a beautiful silver necklace; a phoenix in flight with the chains coming from the tips of the wings. "Its beautiful" She holds it out to Anthony, turning and lifting her hair so he can put it on her. Anthony's fingers brush the back of her neck as he connects the chains, He brushes his lips over the back of her neck, Teri hums and shivers. He presses kisses along her skin as he speaks "You are my phoenix something to be regarded as unique and remarkable in every respect. A phoenix represents transformation, death and rebirth in fire. The phoenix is a symbol of strength and renewal. You are stronger than you know and I want to help you figure that out." He turns her around so he can see her face. "Will you be mine? Will you let me light the fire so you can be reborn? So, to speak" Teri smiles tears in her eyes. She nods her head as she speaks "Ya. Yes. Please. Make me more." Anthony brushes her tears away with his thumb and kisses her forehead. He leans in to her ear, his hand brushing over the bite mark on her collar bone, digging his thumb in till she whines and gasps. "I may make you cry. But I promise to always be here to brush them away. Now let's go back to the hotel I have so many more plans."
