Dancing in the Gray (12 page)

Trey stroked the fingers on her hand
that was still resting on his arm. He turned over her palm and saw
her abrasion from her falling Friday night. He leaned his head down
and kissed her injury. Oh yeah, he had it bad.

Her hand moved from his arm to his
face. He looked up and those beautiful amber eyes were smiling at
him. “Morning,” Elise ran her fingers through his hair. Trey leaned
his head into her caress, enjoying her touch.

He ran his hand up and down her naked
back, “Morning.” He couldn’t help but smile. She just did that to
him.

Elise rose up on her elbows and leaned
over, kissing Trey’s lips. He slid his hands into her hair while he
shifted his body so it was flush with hers. He ran his hand down
her back, hips, and thighs while slowly rolling Elise over onto her
back. She kissed him deeply as she spread her legs accepting Trey’s
body in between them. He moved fluidly and purposefully. He would
enjoy ever second he had left with her, and she could never
categorize what he was about to do to her as “an awkward morning
after moment.” He was about to make love to her for the first
time.

~

Elise loved waking up to Trey’s gentle
touches. She watched him kiss her hand so tenderly. And now, he was
kissing her with the same tenderness. She let him be in total
control of this experience.

He took his time with her, being slow
and attentive. He worked his mouth over her breasts, down to her
tummy, and finally reaching his destination. His gentle kisses
deepened into one orgasm after another. He made sure that this
morning was about her, and Elise was in ecstasy. He made his way
back up to her mouth and took it with the same passion he was
showing her just seconds ago.

She felt his shaft at her entrance.
Trey was kissing her deeply when he surprised her by sliding
completely into her with one fluid motion. She instinctually arched
her back and dug her nails into his body. Trey lifted his mouth
from her and watched her as he relentlessly glided his huge shaft
in and out of her. He was letting her feel every inch.

“Oh, Trey…” Elise purred.

He smiled that sexy ass half smile down
at her as he penetrated her deep. Elise felt the massive amount of
moisture pool at her sex from that single smile. “You like that?”
Trey’s look was so intense with his mouth slightly open and his
eyes focused all on Elise.

“God, yes.”

“I love watching you come for me. Will
you come for me?”

Trey brought one of Elise’s legs up and
rolled his hips up causing his shaft to massage her deeply inside.
He was working her G-spot, and the orgasm he wanted her to have was
coming quickly. He was holding her thigh with one hand and placing
his weight on his arm that was outstretched near her shoulder. He
was watching her with such intensity, totally focused on her
pleasure.

“God, Trey. Don’t stop.”

Trey was shaking his head,
“I’m not about to stop any time soon.” With that promise, he thrust
into her so deeply over and over. He had her bellowing in ecstasy.
Trey whispered, “That’s my girl. I can come just watching you,
Elise.” Elise loved the sound of those two words crossing his lips
–
my girl
. Elise
cupped Trey’s face with both hands. He closed his eyes as she
tenderly caressed him while he continued to make love to
her.

An hour and a half later, Trey rolled
onto his back covered in sweat. Elise rolled over and laid her head
on Trey’s chest. She gently glided her fingertips over his defined
abs as Trey ran his fingers through her hair. They were both
silent, letting their touch say everything for them.

Chapter 10

Trey was zipping up his luggage with a
heavy heart. The bellhop would be in his room shortly to pick up
all of his bags and bring them down to the lobby so he could meet
his car service.

He stayed with Elise for the entire
afternoon and into the early evening. They ordered room service and
stayed in bed for most of the day. It was great to just be around
her. She talked about her business and not knowing what to do with
the time she will have on her hands after the buyout. Trey talked
about his campaign and some of the challenges he’s going to have to
overcome. They were very similar when it came to how they worked
and the goals and standards they set for themselves.

She captivated him with her story. She
was a hardworking kid who had direction and was smart as hell. She
worked a ton of different jobs to get through college, but she
explained how she learned something from each one of those jobs and
it helped her with her own success. She was a bartender which she
explained was how she was introduced to the expensive tequila they
had all weekend. She also explained that the service industry job
taught her how to multitask and made her understand the importance
of repeat business and brand loyalty.

She was fearless and confident in her
business ventures. She didn’t think that she took a big risk with
starting her own company because she always found a way to make
things happen. He was amazed at how hands-on she was in the
development of her products. She was talking about chemistry and
elements that she researched and tested to get to her final
product, which she patented.

She was lethal – gorgeous, sexy,
brilliant, boisterous, witty, appreciative, humble, confident,
benevolent, and the list goes on. With Elise, what was on the
exterior was why you came, but on the interior was why you stayed.
And, he realized quickly that he wanted to stay.

Their last moments together were shared
in the shower, which was so bittersweet. He was able to touch her
and make love one last time, but he didn’t know if he would ever
see her again. They had each other’s phone numbers, that’s it.
There was no discussion about getting together when she returned.
She didn’t mention it, so Trey didn’t either, but he wanted
to.

She was heading to her
reservations at
La Tour d'Argent which was
supposed to be for two. Her reservation was at 7 pm, and his flight
was at 8 pm. He would be in the air heading west before she would
be served her dessert. His car was coming in a few minutes to pick
him up and take him to Charles de Gaulle.

There was a knock on his door. The
bellhop was there to get the luggage. He and Ronald followed the
gentleman down to the hotel lobby where he waited for his
car.

Trey was glancing around the lobby when
he felt his cell phone vibrated in his pocket. He pulled it out and
keyed in his password. On his screen he saw Elise’s picture and
smiled. She sent him a text message.

*Elise: Safe Travels….XO
Elise*

Trey replied:

*Trey: Headed to
restaurant?*

*Elise: Oui. Airport?*

*Trey: Oui*

*Elise: :)*

*Trey: Plans tomorrow?*

*Elise: Spa day*

*Trey: Enjoy it and enjoy
Paris*

*Elise: I will and I have*

That was the last message he received
from her before he headed to the airport and boarded his plane. The
late night flight was once again bare in first class. He and Ronald
buckled into their seats and awaited their departure.

“Are you alright, sir?” Ronald was good
to Trey for the last five years and had become a
confidant.

“I’ll live.” Trey smiled at the thought
of Elise uttering those exact words when he inquired about her
knee.

“Yes, you will. That’s what I’m here
for.” Ronald smiled over at him.

“Thanks, Ronald.”

Chapter 11

Elise just finished her spa
day at the
Guerlain Spa
. It was supposed to be a couple’s spa day and she was
slightly sad that Trey had to leave and head back to the states. He
would have enjoyed the massage, especially after all the
extracurricular activities of the weekend. Elise spent 5 hours at
the spa under various treatments which she quickly realized all
that relaxing was actually tiring. She looked forward to room
service and a good night’s sleep since tomorrow would be her last
day in Paris.

She enjoyed this trip for many reasons,
the biggest being Trey. She thought about calling him, but finally
decided against it. She considered this her wild Parisian affair,
and it needed to stay here in Paris; that’s what she told herself.
Her mind instantly changed when she got back to her
room.

When she opened the door, a wonderful
smell was emitting from inside. First, she noticed a small bouquet
of purple irises that were on the side table next to the sofa. As
she walked further into her room, there was a linen covered cart
with a silver dome-shaped chafing dish on it. When Elise removed
the cover, there was an entrée of Seared Scallops, some sort of
fondue, and a chocolate hazelnut dessert. In the wine bucket, there
was a very nice Chablis that would probably go perfect with the
Scallops. A note was also on the cart that read:

End your relaxing day with a relaxing
meal. If you want company while eating, call me.

Trey

XOXO

It was probably lunch time in the
states so she decided to give him a call. She wanted to hear his
voice badly. Her wine was already uncorked so she poured herself a
glass before she went to her purse to get her phone. She hit a few
buttons to find Trey’s number, and then hit send. She sat down with
her wine and meal on the sofa.

“Bonjour!”

Elise smiled with Trey’s greeting.
“Look at you, speaking French after just one weekend in
Paris.”

“I had a great teacher! How was your
spa day?” It was great to hear his voice.

“Very relaxing. Am I calling at a bad
time?”

“Not at all. I was hoping that you
wanted some dinner company from 3,600 miles away.” He was beyond
sweet.

“Trey, thank you so much. You really
shouldn’t have done all this.”

“I should have been there to dine with
you in person last night, so I wanted to make it up to you
tonight.” He profusely apologized Sunday before he left. He felt
bad for leaving her.

“You are so sweet. I can’t tell you how
much I appreciate it. The scallops smell delicious. It was so nice
not to have to think about what to eat or ordering it. A girl can
get spoiled very quickly around you.” Elise secretly hoped she was
the only girl getting spoiled by him.

“You deserve to be spoiled, Elise.” She
hugged herself with excitement over that statement. “What’s on the
agenda for tomorrow?”

“Last day here, so I think I will be
doing some shopping and getting to bed early. My flight leaves
Wednesday morning so I’ll be back in the states that
afternoon.”

“Are you going to be heading back to
New York?”

“No, Virginia. I’m flying back into
Dulles. I think my flight arrives around 3 pm.”

“Are you staying with your
mom?”

“No, I have a townhome in downtown
McLean. I’ll be heading there for a few days. How was your flight
back?”

“Uneventful, which is good.”

“So, no random strangers trying to grab
your crotch in first class?” Elise was still blushing over the
thought of what she did.

“Surprisingly enough, there was! Can
you believe it?” He was totally picking on her.

“Wow! I hope she wasn’t prettier than
me!”

“It was a dude.”

Elise nearly spit wine all over her
beautiful brocade sofa. “Ok, no jokes when I’m consuming
wine.”

“I’ll let you eat. I just wanted to
make sure you had some company for dinner tonight.”

Elise was sad that he was letting her
go. “I can’t tell you how much I appreciated it. Oh, and the
flowers are beautiful.”

“I’m glad you like them.”

Elise took a deep breath and decided to
jump off the cliff, “Did you want to maybe grab some dinner when I
get back to the states?” She held her breath while she waited for
his answer.

“Absolutely. I look forward to seeing
you when you get back.” Elise heard his smile through the
phone.

“I do, too. Thanks again for
everything, Trey.”

“You’re welcome, Elise. Have a good
night.”

“Night.”

Elise was excited that he wanted to see
her again. She picked up her fork and began eating her dinner. She
had a fabulous time here, but she was ready to head home and see
her mom, her friends, and now, Trey.

~

Trey hung up the phone with a sigh. He
was glad Elise called him and enjoyed the surprise that he had for
her. He was excited that she wanted to get together for dinner when
she returned to the states. His cell phone rang, immediately
grabbing his attention. He hoped it was Elise calling back. When he
looked at the display, it was his mom’s number. He picked up his
cell phone and answered. “Hey, Mom. What’s up?”

“Hey Darling, I have huge favor to ask
you. But first, what’s wrong?”

Trey rolled his eyes. He didn’t want to
go into it with her. “Nothing, Mom.”
