The next morning Nick woke me up with the heavenly aroma of coffee. “Rise and shine baby girl.”

“What time is it?”

“Eight.”

“What the hell is wrong with you. It’s too early.” I threw the blanket over my face. This is not happening. 

He the blanket off of my face. “Nope no way. I’m going back to bed.”

This time he pulled the covers all the way off. “Nah, were going to get this day started. Let’s go, get up.”

“You’re insane. I’m going to get back on my sleeping schedule.”

“You know how well that’ll work. Your prince has an empire to run and he starts his day even earlier than this. It’s time to get closer to his schedule.”

“I don’t see why I have to but I know you’re not going to give up, so fine I’ll be right out.”

“If you’re not out in five I’m coming back in after you.”

After he headed back out into the other room I got out of bed and headed into the bathroom. I just knew today would be a long day so I had to try and mentally prepare myself. After doing what I needed I splashed water on my face to wake myself up a bit and headed out into the other room. Nick wasn’t in the living room which meant he was in the kitchen. 

“Good, for a minute there I thought I was going to have to come back and pull your skinny ass out of bed.”

“I know you would have. So, what’s on the agenda for today?”

“What makes you think I have an agenda?”

“There’s no way you are making me get up this early just to sit around all day. I’ll just end up going back to bed.”

‘Well that most certainly won’t be happening my friend. But it isn’t me who has an agenda today.”

“What are you talking about?”

“I can’t give you all the details but lover boy has planned a day for you. I was to wake you up at eight and get you fed then ready by ten. A car will be here to pick you up. From there it is all a surprise.”

I groaned. “Do I want to know?”

“I’ll say this. You will be getting pampered and spoiled today. So just sit back and enjoy it. Besides you deserve it.”

I looked at the spread that Nick had put out. “You cooked all of this?”

“Oh hell no baby girl. You know I can’t cook. I ordered it then went and picked it up. I was told to feed you. There was nothing in the instructions saying I had to cook. If there were we’d both starve.”

I laughed. “That’s true.”

“So sit your ass down and it.”

“It does look good.”

We both sat down and enjoyed a feast of a breakfast. I had French toast, bacon, hash browns and some fruit. I was beyond stuffed. “I can’t eat another bite. If I do I won’t be going anywhere. You’ll have to roll me out of here so I can sleep off a food coma.”

He laughed. “Yeah, I’m pretty full myself.”

We sat there and let our food settle a bit before I had to get ready. “So where am I going?”

“I’m not at liberty to discuss that.”

“I don’t think I like the idea of the two of you plotting things behind my back. I’m in for a world of trouble with the two of you. This isn’t fair. You’re my best friend. You’re supposed to side with me not him.

“I’m not siding with anyone.”

“Oh that’s crap and you know it.”

“Hey, I can’t help it if he wants the same thing for you that I do. As long as he does I’m going to do whatever I have to in order to make it happen.”

“A heads up would be nice.”

“For once just sit back, relax and enjoy life. You deserve to finally be happy. And I think you found the one person who can make that happen.”

“Fine, I get it. You’re taking this secret to the grave. You always were good at keeping secrets.”

“It’s both a blessing and a curse.”

I looked at the time and it was going on nine thirty. “I guess I should start getting ready.”

“I’d say so.”

I got up and went into my bedroom to find something to wear. I had no idea what the plans were so I didn’t know what to wear. I decided on jeans and a t-shirt and grabbed my favorite hoodie. I skipped the makeup. I brushed my hair and threw it up in a ponytail. To me simple was better. By the time I was done it was going on ten. Time to get going.

I walked down to see a town car waiting for me. The driver was already waiting outside of the car. “Good afternoon Miss. Thomas. My name is Tony and I will be your driver for the day.”

“Hello Tony. Can you tell me what Nathan has planned for me?” 

“I’m sorry Miss. but I’ve been given strict instructions not to. I was told to follow an itinerary and get you to where you need to be. But it’s all a surprise for you. So you’ll just have to wait and see I’m afraid.”

“I figured. Can’t blame a girl for trying.”

He let out a chuckle at that. “No, I suppose not.”

He opened the back door for me to get in. After I was in he closed the door then got behind the wheel. It took me a minute to realize we haven’t moved yet. I looked up to see him looking back at me through the rear view mirror. “Seatbelt Miss. Safety always comes first with Mr. Black.”

“Oh, shit. Yes of course. I’m sorry.” Once I was secure he started to pull out into traffic. 

As he drove through the city streets I just took in all of my surroundings. I never really paid much attention to the city I live in. It made me think of what Nick said and that maybe he was right. I wasn’t really living. I was just going through the motions of daily life. 

I must have zoned out because it took Tony a few tries to get my attention. “We’re here Miss. Thomas.”

“Where is here?”

He looked up and it made my gaze follow. Slice of Heaven. “What am I doing here?”

“Mr. Black has booked you a day of pampering. First stop a full body massage.”

“Are you serious?”

“I don’t joke Miss.”

Yeah I didn’t think he did.

“Go on inside and give your name. They are ready for you. I’ll be waiting right here when you are done.”

“You’re going to sit out here the whole time and wait for me?”

“Of course.”

“You don’t have to do that. You’ll be bored out of your mind.”

“I do have to. Those are my instructions. And I assure you I’ll be fine. No go on and enjoy. After all we do have a schedule to keep.”

I didn’t continue to argue and headed inside. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by a young blond behind a desk. “Hello, you must be Miss. Tomas.”

“I am.”

“My name is Hope. I’ll take you back and show you the room you’ll be in.” She brings me to the back and shows me where everything I need is. “Amanda will be your masseuse for today. Rest assure she is one of our best and comes highly recommended.”

“Thank you.” I wonder if Nathan chose a female on purpose. Was it for his benefit or mine?

As if Hope could read my mind she answered my unspoken questions. “Mr. Black had requested we choose the best for you but also stated that you may be a bit more at ease with a female rather than a male.”

“I appreciate that. Thank you.”

“It’s my pleasure. Please feel free to let me know if you need anything. Amanda will be in shortly, as soon as you’re ready.” With that she walked out and let me get undressed and put the robe on that was provided.

I looked around while I waited. It was no wonder how this place got it’s name. It’s all white walls and furniture with accents of gold. It has that soft and inviting feel to it. It was warm and cozy. 

I got so lost in admiring my surroundings that I just barely registered the door open and close. “Hello, Miss. Thomas I’m Amanda. Are you ready?”

“Yes just one thing.”

“Please call me Kris.”

She seemed a bit uneasy with that request but obliged. “Sure, Kris, I’m sorry it’s just that Mr. Black likes us keeping it professional.”

“I’m sure he does. I’m just more comfortable with using my first name.”

“Of course. As you wish. Now are you ready to be pampered today?”

I just nodded unsure what to say.

After the massage I was taken to a hair salon. I didn’t want any drastic changes so I just went with a wash and a trim with some subtle highlights. As with the massage parlor they also catered to my every need. This felt so weird to me. I’m not use to all of this and I’m not sure yet how I feel all about it.

After the hair salon I was taken to a nice little restaurant for lunch. I had my own private corner where once again I was completely catered to. By now I was starting to get tired and was wondering what else he had planned for me. Just then my phone buzzed with a text.

Nathan: I hope you are enjoying your day.

Kristina: I am and thank you. This wasn’t necessary though.

Nathan: I’m glad to hear that. And of course it is. You haven’t had a guy to show you what it’s like to be taken care of and it has been my pleasure to be the one to show you.

Kristins: Well it’s very sweet. So what else did you have planned for me?

Nathan: It’s suppose to be a surprise but before I decide if I want to ruin it or not let me ask you how you’re feeling.

Kristina: Tired, relaxed but tired. This is all new to me so it’s a bit much.

Nathan: Understandable. So here’s what I’ll do. The next and last stop for the day was to be a shopping trip fully paid for of course but under these circumstances we can do that another time. I’d rather be there with you for that anyway. So Tony will take you home and you can rest. I’ll have dinner sent over for you and Nick and then I’ll be there at seven to pick the two of you up.

Kristina: Wow, yeah I definitely don’t have the energy for a shopping trip. I do appreciate it but you don’t have to.

Nathan: Nobody said I did. I want to. Go on now and get some rest. You’ll need it for tonight.

Kristina: Why? What’s going on tonight besides the Limelight?

Nathan: Tony has been updated with taking you home. Rest, baby and I’ll see you later.

When I got back to my place Nick was still there waiting. “So, have a nice day?”

“Yes, actually, it was.”

“Good. Now go take a nap and I’ll let you know when dinner is here.”

“Nathan had already contacted you, didn’t he.”

“Yep.” He said with a grin. “Now off you go.”

At around four thirty Nick woke me to let me know food has arrived. To my surprise I woke up feeling relaxed and refreshed. I don’t remember the last time I felt like this. Hell I don’t ever remember feeling like this. I got up and walked out to the kitchen. “Hey, how are you feeling?”

“Good actually. So what did he send us?”

“I’m glad. And well he asked what you would want and I told him that the best way into your pants is with tacos.”

“You didn’t.”

He smirked. “I did.”

“Oh my god.”

“You’re welcome.”

“I can’t believe you said that.”

“Hey, gotta help a fellow guy out. I like him. He’s good for you so I’m going to give him all the help I can. Now sit down and eat.”

I sat down and enjoyed some of the most delicious tacos I’ve had. They must be that good because even Nick is plowing through them and he usually doesn’t. 

Around a little after six we went to get ready. I went with a more relaxed outfit for tonight. I stuck with my blue jeans but changed into a tank top with a sheer long sleeve top over it. I paired it all with my Doc Martins. Easy and comfortable. 

When I finished I walked into the living room. Nathan was already there waiting on the couch. Nick was walking back from the kitchen with a bottle of water. He must have let him in. I just rolled my eyes at him as he grinned. 

“Hi, baby.” Nathan all but growled. “You look hot but I must insist you change.”

“Excuse me?” What the hell? Nick starting laughing and i just gave him the side eye. Shut the fuck up asshole.

“Oh, you’re excused all right. Go ahead and change I’ll be right here.”

“Why would I change?”

He got up and walked over to me and damn he was sexy as hell. Kris no. You’re mad stop thinking those thoughts. He came up behind me and wrapped his arms around me then whispered in my ear. “I have plans for you and me later. They will be much more feasible if you were in a skirt.”

Holy shit. I started to pant. My breathing picked up and I could tell he noticed.

“I know you want it too. So why don’t you be my good little girl and change into a skirt for me?”

I was frozen in place. My legs wouldn’t move. I was afraid they would give out on me. 

I could feel him get impatient and heard his growl of disapproval at my lack of movement. “Kristina, I’ve repeated myself enough and I won’t do it again. Now go change or I will gladly do it for you.”

That did it. I snapped out of the trans he had me in and took off. I looked in my closet and found my black pleated leather skirt and switched to that. When I walked back into the living room I could feel his approval. He tried to hide it but I could hear him groan. You wanted this now you suffer.

Tony was our driver and I wasn’t surprised in the least. Though the drive to the Limelight seemed to take forever tonight. I knew it had to do with how much I was coming undone. Nathan spend the ride with his hand on my thigh and that wasn’t helping. I can already feel the heat and moisture pool in my panties and he hasn’t even done anything to me yet. 

Just his commands and his commanding demeanor sitting next to me is enough to make me want him. He knows it he can feel it and yet he does nothing because we’re stuck in this car with an audience. Dammit this is going to be a long night.

We finally arrive and he pulls his hand away. I already hate the loss of his touch. Nick gets out of the car first then Nathan who helps me out. When we walk up to the door Lennox and Quinn are already there waiting. I’m too lost in my sinful thoughts that Nathan has to do the introductions. 

When we go inside we are shown to our table. This one is different. We get a booth. That’s new. “Let me guess you own this place as well.”

“Part anyway. I’m more of a silent partner. My brother Alex owns it. I merely helped him get started.”

“That was nice of you.”

“It’s what family does.” He says then shrugs. Like he doesn’t want to take any credit.

The server comes around to take our drink orders and we all start to talk about the songs everyone is going to sing. Nathan rests his hand on my thigh rubbing it up and down driving me crazy. He acts like he’s not and that we’re just having a normal discussion with friends. Bastard. “Kris, you haven’t selected a song yet.” He mentions.

“Oh, that’s because she doesn’t sing.” Nick chimes in. I just glare at him. Thanks a lot ass.

“Oh really?”

“Yep.” Nick answers for me.

“Well that won’t do. You’re going to sing tonight.”

“The hell I am.” I responded. A mix of anger at Nick and sexual frustration from Nathan.

“If you’ll excuse everyone. Kristina and I need to have a private conversation.” He didn’t wait for a reply from the group. He grabbed my hand, got up and pulled to me to the back where we found an office. He walked us in and locked the door.

“You can’t just do that.”

“I can. It belongs to my brother. Remember?”

“What if he needs the office?”

“He’s not here tonight.” He came up behind me and wrapped his arms around me. He rubbed his hand up my thigh. “I can feel how much you want me. I can smell the need on you. I began to pant. He brought his hand up further and pushed my panties aside. He stuck one finger inside me and I rolled my head back. “Mmm so wet already.” He pushed his finger in further and I couldn’t suppress the moan that came out. “Mmm that’s it. You feel so good.” He added a second finger and proceeded to finger fuck me right there in the office. 

He fucked me faster and rubbed my clit. His other hand went into my shirt and pinched my nipple. I was so damn close and he knew it. Right before I was ready to explode he removed his hands and backed away.

“What the hell?”

“What’s wrong?” He asked.

“Seriously, you’re just going to leave me hanging?”

“For now, yes. Now whether or not you get your release depends all on you.”

“What does that mean?”

“Sing tonight. For me. And then when we’re done here we’ll go back to my place and you can come as much as you want.”

“Fine.” I reluctantly agreed.

“Good, now lets go join your friends. So what will you sing?”

“Now that’s a surprise.”

When it was my turn I chose Halo by Beyoncé. I think it suited us. When I got back to the table Nathan looked like he was ready to devour me. “I’m ready to get out of here he said.” 

Everyone else was ready as well. “Yeah, I’m tired.” I winked. He growled and we went back to his place.
