10 Nights (10 page)

Once he had finished
with Leah he washed himself; they were both out of the shower within fifteen
minutes and dried off after another minute.

"Get dressed,
Sweetheart, before I forget I have a company to run and you need a little time
to recuperate." He smacked her ass lightly, and then turned to his closet
to pull out a suit.

Leah felt the ache in
her body with every movement, but it was a deliciously sinful pain that she was
more than happy to endure. She was no longer a virgin, she thought, a happy
smile covering her face. Not only had she lost her virginity, she'd had one of
the best nights of her life.

"I like seeing you
smile." He adjusted his tie as he looked over at her. He hated that she
was dressed again, but realized it was probably a good thing, it diminished the
temptation he felt and helped him to concentrate on the things he knew he had
to do that day. "Let me walk you out." He took her hand and together
they made their way down to the foyer, where he gave orders for his car to be
brought around.

Leah was startled by
how abrupt he was with his servants, his tone more commanding than it had been
with her the previous night. She didn't have time to dwell on it however as he
walked her down the steps to the limousine that had just pulled up. By the time
they reached it the chauffeur was standing to attention to one side of the now
open rear door.

"I'll see you back
here tonight, at nine." It wasn't a question, she realized, it was an
order, albeit made in a less commanding tone than he had spoken to his servants
in.

She nodded her head but
quickly spoke when she saw his eyes darken, "Yes, Sir," she
whispered.

"I enjoyed you
last night," he told her, lowering his head to plant a brief kiss on her
lips. "Now climb in, before I decide not to let you go." He helped
her into the car.

Leah was a little
surprised as the door swung shut without another word being said by Rhett, and
without an opportunity for her to say anything to him. All she could do was
watch his back as he walked away, not even waiting for the car to leave before
he returned to the house.

What a night, she
thought, her eyes remaining on Rhett's perfectly formed posterior as the
chauffeur settled behind the wheel and they pulled away. Rhett Hammond was
certainly more than she ever thought a man could be; she settled back in the
black leather of the rear seat, a broad smile of satisfaction stretching her
lips.

Dance for Me

Leah walked into her
dorm room in a daze, her body still sore. She'd already had a shower but
thought a soak in the bath would do her good, with luck it would ease the aches
she felt in her muscles, and other places.

Making her way into the
bathroom she quickly dropped the plug into place and began running the water. A
laugh bubbled up out of her as she began stripping off the small amount of
clothes she was wearing, she was going to be the cleanest girl in the world she
realized after a shower and a bath within the space of a couple of hours.

The hot water stung as
she slid into its heat, but after a minute or so she had become accustomed to
it and began to relax. She didn't wash herself, she simply lay back and
luxuriated in the heat, letting it seep into her muscles and ease the ache
within them. She moaned slightly in annoyance when she heard Janie calling out.

"Back here,
Janie," Leah shouted; she wasn't about to get out of the bath for anything
short of a fire or an explosion, at least not until the water got too cold to
be enjoyable.

"Just checking on
you," Janie said, walking into the bathroom and plopping down on the
closed toilet seat. "So how are you feeling?" At Leah's blush she
laughed. "That good, huh?"

"He's definitely
something else." She was embarrassed but it felt good to have someone to
talk to.

"Okay spill it, girlfriend,
and don't leave out a single detail." Janie was smiling, pleased to see
her friend happy and obviously okay with the events of the previous night.

Leah told her friend
everything, leaving nothing out, as she had been instructed. It wasn't
something she would normally have felt comfortable talking about, but she had
never kept secrets from her best friend before, and a part of her was desperate
to talk about it.

Just talking about
Rhett made her desire him again and she was surprised by the strength of the
stirring within her.

"Oh, honey, I'm so
glad he treated you right." Janie had been a little worried that Leah
would be overwhelmed, but it was apparent that she had been concerned about
nothing. Rhett had obviously given her a great night of lovemaking; just what a
virgin needed, and left the lifestyle mostly out of it. She mentally applauded
him for handling the situation well. "So when are you seeing him
again?"

"Tonight."
She nibbled on her lip. "If I can walk again." She laughed and Janie
joined in.

"After a few times
together you won't be this sore." It had been years since Janie had lost
her cherry, but it was something you didn't ever forget.

"Good to know.
I've got to work for a few hours today, have you got any plans?" She
wasn't looking forward to going in for her shift, but needed the paycheck.

"I'm going to go
over to the condo and start moving some of my things in." She sighed with
distaste at the thought of giving in to what her father wanted for her; even if
it eliminated the worry of apartment hunting. "We need to get you packed
too."

"I'm off tomorrow
so I'll get my stuff packed up then. How soon do you want to move in?"

"Well the place
has a Jacuzzi, so the sooner the better I guess. Think you can have all your
stuff ready by next Friday?"

"I don't have much
to pack up so yeah, I think I should be able to do that. As long as we move
during the day and not the night, I kind of want to keep my nights free for a
while." She hoped Janie wouldn't be upset about that, but she really
wanted to spend every night she could with Rhett, for the time being.

“I remember what it was
like, Leah." Janie frowned a little. "Just remember, honey, you have
to have a life outside of him. I hope things work out and he wants to have a
long term relationship with you, I know that's what you want, but I don't want
you getting hurt if he doesn't, okay?" She couldn't imagine having the
intensity of this type of relationship for her first one and the look on her
best friend's face worried her. It was clear that Leah had already developed
strong feelings for Rhett. "I know it's great sex, and your first
experience, which makes it all the more special, but you have to try and see it
for what it is."

"Can we worry
about it when the time comes, if it does?" Leah asked a little
plaintively. "Honestly, I'm still overwhelmed by everything right
now." She didn't want to come down off her high, though she knew she would
have to eventually. Stupid or not, she wanted to bask in the memory of her
beautiful night with Rhett for as long as possible.

"For now,
Leah," Janie agreed, thinking that she was definitely going to worry about
her friend. "Are you going to sit in there until you turn into a
prune?" she asked to change the subject, before things got awkward between
them.

"I guess not,
since the water has gone cold. Hand me a towel?" She waited until Janie
handed her an oversized towel and then stood; quickly drying off she drained
the bath and walked into the bedroom, followed by her friend. "I'm going
to cook, you hungry?" she asked as she dressed in a pair of cotton shorts
and a tank top before walking into the kitchen.

When Janie nodded at
the offer of food, Leah threw together an omelet for both of them and made
coffee. They ate in a companionable silence until a knock sounded, startling
them.

"I'll get
it," Janie jumped to her feet, "you need your strength after last
night, eat up," she said with a laugh.

Leah giggled and rolled
her eyes as Janie made for the door, returning a short while later with a
bouquet of ten long stemmed roses, nine red and one white.

"Looks like you
impressed someone last night." Janie handed over the card before finding a
vase to put the roses in, which she set on the countertop.

Blushing Leah took the
card and read it. "Dear, Leah, thank you for a beautiful night. Yours
truly, RH." Her body flooded with heat at the sweet gesture.

"Oh boy, you've
got it bad." Janie shook her head. "Okay, sunshine, I'm going to let
you bask in your flowers and get ready for work. I'm going to start sorting out
the condo. See you tomorrow." She stood then bent to kiss her friend's
cheek. "Call me if you need me later." With a smile she left.

Leah sniffed the roses;
glad her friend was gone since she couldn't seem to get rid of the smile covering
her face. She didn't have much time to enjoy the gift however, much to her
disappointment; she had to get ready for work.

The school store was
almost completely empty, since finals had just ended, and by five o'clock she
was bored out of her mind; she left as quickly as she could when her shift was
over.

Janie had called
earlier, saying she'd be out with David, but had her cell phone with her in case
she was needed, so Leah took her time getting ready for her date with Rhett. 
Date didn't seem like the right word for whatever was going to happen that
night, given the situation, but she didn't know what else to call it, and
thinking of it as a date made it easier to avoid any panic over not knowing
what was going to happen.

She arrived at the
house five minutes early, a little embarrassed by her old truck, which looked
completely out of place in front of such an expensive property, and uncertain
about her outfit. She didn't have a lot of dress clothes; there had been little
cause for her to buy fancy clothes over the past few years, and even less money
to spare for such things. The white mini-dress she had on was the best she
could come up with from her meager wardrobe.

If Janie had been home
she would have borrowed something a little sexier.

The mini-dress was made
of cotton and was really nothing more than a long t-shirt with a cute neckline
and hem. She'd slid on a pair of comfortable sandals, but now she had arrived
she regretted not going with a pair of heels. Heels would at least have made
her look a little more dressed up. It was too late to do anything about her
outfit though, she thought as she made her up to the door.

The butler let her in,
informing her that she was to go straight down to the dungeon.

Earlier she had been so
excited at the thought of seeing Rhett again that she could barely contain
herself, now though, hearing that he was waiting for her in the dungeon she
felt a nervous shiver run through her. She clasped her hands together to try
and stop it as she followed the butler.

When she reached the
bottom of the dungeon stairs Leah looked around, not seeing Rhett anywhere. Her
hands clenched into small fists at her sides as she fought her anxiety.
"Rhett, Sir?" she called out softly.

He walked around the
corner into view and smiled warmly as he saw her. She looked like a frightened
lamb in the white mini-dress, and too damn young, he thought. "Hi,
sweetheart." He held out his arms and she walked into them quickly,
eliciting a chuckle from him. "Did you miss me?"

She wrapped her arms
around him, breathing in his scent. In his arms she felt safe; all the
nervousness she had felt just a moment before was gone, she couldn't even
remember why she had been nervous. "I did, Sir, I thought about you all
day," she told him quietly.

He was amazed, not just
by her honesty, but by the way she didn't hesitate to admit her feelings.
"I missed you too, sweetheart." He squeezed her a little before stepping
back. "Are you ready to start your ten nights?" He smiled as she
nibbled on her lip at his question and then arched a brow, letting her know she
needed to stop.

She realized what he
wanted the moment he looked at her like that and stopped, releasing her lip.
"I think so, Sir." Her voice shook a little as she thought of the
things he might do with her.

"Good," he
said with a smile. "Now, let me go over a few things with you. When you
walk down here from now on, I expect you to undress and leave your clothes in
the training room." He pointed to the small door at the back. "When
you have done that you will kneel before this cross, understand?"

"Yes, Sir,"
she answered, not quite understanding why she should have to kneel before the
cross, she doubted it had anything to do with religion. She realized there was
no point in her asking for an explanation however, so she kept her mouth shut.
Instead she asked a question she thought he might answer, "What are you
going to do with me tonight?

Rhett nodded in satisfaction
before he answered her. "Tonight you are going to dance for me."

"Dance for you,
Sir?"

"Yes, Leah; I want
you to strip and make me want you, without touching me at all." He grinned
as her eyes widened. "If you try your best, I won't punish you." His
voice deepened into a tone of command.

The thought of him
punishing her had her biting her lip again, before she remembered he didn't
like it and stopped. "There's no music, Sir," she said, not sure how
she was supposed to dance without music. She wasn't sure about dancing for him
anyway, it was not a skill she possessed, never having done what he wanted
before, but without music it would be all the more difficult. Nonetheless she
was determined to do her best.

He chuckled. "I
can fix that, sweetheart." He walked over to a small box on the wall and
pushed a button. The room was immediately flooded with soft sensual music.
"Remember, dance like you mean it," he told her as he settled on the
couch, his arms spread across the back of it. His eyes on her he wondered how
Leah was going to handle her first task, the one which he considered the
easiest of those he had in mind for her.

Leah’s knees shook as
she moved to a position in front of him, where she stood, uncertain what to do.
She had danced with Janie on numerous occasions at clubs, and even in their
dorm rooms after a few drinks when the music got them on their feet. Never
before though had she danced with the intention of turning someone on; dancing
naked was a new experience for her as well.

After a minute or so
Leah began to move; she wasn't sure what she was doing, other than responding
to the music, but she tried to mimic moves she had seen Janie do in the past.
Unlike her, Janie did dance to get men interested, and she did her best to
recall how her friend had done that.

Swaying slowly she ran
her hands up her body, moving up from her hips before lifting them above her
head and clasping them together. How she managed to stay on her feet when her
knees shook like they were made of jelly, she had no idea, but she did, and she
continued dancing.

She dropped her hands
to her ponytail and pulled off the band that kept it in place. Tossing the band
away she shook her head, running her fingers through her hair to loosen it and
make it cascade down her back.

Keeping to the rhythm
as best she could she wet her lips, while her hands lowered to her dress.
Teasingly she lifted it a few inches, almost, but not quite, revealing the lacy
red thong she had on underneath. Just when the thong was about to come into view
she let go of the dress, allowing it to fall back down.

Rhett was impressed as
he watched Leah move. He honestly hadn't known what to expect from her, but it
was clear she was a more sensual creature than she thought herself to be. His
eyes stayed on her, watching every move as she rotated on the spot, raising the
hem of her dress again and bending over to show her ass.
