TWENTY-SEVEN & EIGHT
“ New Years Eve,” she said with a nod.“ Wine girl! I did do that. You don’ t want something different?” he asked.“ You said it was perfect. Are you saying you can’ t do that again?” she asked. He recognized the challenge.“ Just checking,” he trilled.
Tanya took an hour long bath. The thought of the fabric against her smooth skin had her tingling before she put on the gown. She added make-up, the diamonds and shoes. The doorbell rang and she stepped out for the evening. John escorted her to the black limousine parked in the driveway. She should not have been surprised by his gentlemanly approach.“ It is a pleasure to meet you Tanya. I am John Evans,” he said, taking her hand and placing it on his arm. Tanya was taken by his looks. Tall and athletic with salt and pepper hair. She almost expected him to say,“ Bond. James Bond.” This was a man who exuded confidence.
The chauffeur stood next to the vehicle. The couple approached and he opened the door. Sam patted the seat next to her. She wore the same champagne colored gown from the party. John helped her into the limo as she sat next to Sam. John took the seat facing them.“ Thank you for coming,” Sam said, and kissed Tanya. She held the kiss longer than friendly. Tanya did not mind. She loved Eddie but she could not stop herself. Sam felt and tasted exactly how her heart told her this was supposed to feel and she melted into the embrace.“ Have the two of you...” John started to ask as they broke the kiss.“ Yes. We began a friendship just after New Years. Tanya came by because I wanted to show her our new pool. After a few too many margaritas we ended up skinny dipping in the pool. One thing led to another and here we are willing to offer you a very special birthday,” Sam left out unnecessary facts.
The wedding ring did not escape John’ s notice.“ What about Tanya’ s husband?” he asked.“ Eddie will be offered the same thing you request. The rules will be the same for him. I reserve the right to say no the same as Tanya. You may ask and she may say no,” Sam explained and ran her hand up Tanya’ s leg. Tanya returned the favor. Sam lifted her gown so John could observe. Tanya did the same and watched John adjust himself.“ Seems fair to me,” John said, as Sam’ s fingers caused Tanya to tremble and blush.“ Are you satisfied you won’ t be forced to observe some amateur performance?” Sam queried.“ Yes, quite,” he said, as Sam removed her hand from between Tanya’ s thighs and licked the tip of her finger. Tanya’ s blush deepened. Sam eased Tanya’ s hand from beneath the gown and kissed Tanya’ s fingers.“ You don’ t know how much this means to us. Thank you,” Sam said, and kissed her again as the limo came to a stop.
The women straightened themselves before the driver opened the door. John escorted his dates inside the intimate restaurant.“ The Chateaubriand is amazing,” Sam said, as they were seated.“ Should I order for two?” John asked. His gaze moved between the women.“ Please,” Tanya answered as the waiter and wine steward approached the table. John ordered for the table. Food began to arrive in courses. Appetizers, soups, and salads all beautifully prepared and heavenly tasting. Wine was poured and conversation was shared. Tanya forgot where this was heading as she became comfortable with John’ s easy way of including her in the evening’ s festivities. When the entrées arrived. John saw Tanya glance at the lobster tail sitting next to his thick Porterhouse steak.
