A New York Secret

Chapter Ten

Tony was waiting in his office for Emily, dressed in his best suit for her, eagerly waiting to see her in the dress he had sent down. He stood at his bar and sipped on the scotch he'd made himself while he stared out of the floor to ceiling windows. What's taking her so long?

Emily had gotten dressed and ready in Tony's condo so Thor and Loki would have privacy to talk to each other. She had just stepped off of the elevator, having ridden to the floor that Tony's office was situated on. She listened to her heels click on the tile floor as she walked to his office door and knocked.

"You know you don't have to knock." Tony called out in response. He straightened his jacket just as she came in and stepped around his bar and leaned against the back of it. 

She opened the door with a blush on her face. Her hair was up in a bun and curled, while she wore an elegant knee length red dress with matching red heels. "You look handsome," she told him with a bashful smile. 

Tony looked her over from head to toe. "Damn, you look sexy." He complimented.

A brighter blush filled Emily's cheeks as she walked up and placed a hand on his chest. "Thank you," she said softly before placing a gentle kiss on his lips.

Tony smiled into the kiss and wrapped one arm around her waist, pulling her close. "Are you ready to go?"

"I'm ready whenever you are," she said sweetly.

Tony took her hand and led her out of his office and to the elevator. Once on the bottom floor, he took her to the car that was waiting out front. "I hope you enjoy the evening." He said truthfully as the driver opened the door for them.

Emily slid into the back of the car and took took Tony's hand once he climbed in beside her. "I have a feeling I will."

"We have reservations at the most exclusive restaurant in the city." He told her proudly.

"That sounds expensive," Emily responded with wide eyes.

"It is, but money is not really a concern of mine." Tony chuckled. As the car started moving, he poured them each a glass of sweet red wine.

She chuckled as she accepted the glass he held out for her, then took a sip of the red wine. "I know it's not, but thank you for making tonight so special."

"I did promise you a nice date and I always keep my promises." Tony replied and sipped his wine as well.

Emily leaned over and kissed his cheek. "That's very sweet of you."

"I hope you have a good appetite this evening. The food at this place is great." He told her.

"I've barely eaten today. Only got to have a little bit of breakfast and I skipped lunch," she replied honestly.

"Good, you will have room for dessert then." Tony said with a tone of approval.

She took another sip of the wine and nodded. "Yes I will." Emily sat back and leaned against his side, relishing in the musky scent of his cologne, even if it was a little overbearing. What is that? Sandalwood? Loki smells like a forest after a good rain... I like that scent. Although Tony smells wonderful too, she thought.

Tony wrapped his arm around her and relaxed in the car for the rest of the ride. When the car stopped in front of the restaurant, the driver opened the door for them. "What time do you want to be picked up?" The driver asked.

"I'll call you." Tony said as he stepped out of the car, still holding Emily's hand, then led her inside.

Emily's jaw practically dropped to the floor seeing the elegance of the place. The place was wrapped in a deep red wallpaper and crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling. The lighting was dim to keep things romantic and sensual, and the booths were a decent space apart for privacy. "This is beautiful."
