"So I got it?"
He nodded.
"It could be fake? What if you bought a fake bottle of wine?"
"Then we will drink fake great tasting wine from George Washington's winery."
"Is that even real? Did George Washington have a winery?"
"We might have to ask Thompson about that one."
We strolled silently for a few blocks.
"You're a funny man."I thought of the theater and what that man said. "And all the coincidences?"
Levi stiffened. "What about them?"
"Did they have anything to do with…'' I didn't know what to say. That he made them happen? That's what I wanted to ask, but it felt too narcissistic. So I plunged in anyway. "Did you plan this evening, yes or no?"
We stopped at a corner. The traffic light was green, but we made no move to cross the road. "Did I make reservations at restaurants and buy movie tickets? And then the answer is yes."
"Oh, my God. You did all of that? You paid them to change the movie. Did you pay the restaurant for a private meal as well?"Levi gritted his teeth. His jaw clenching. Betraying him. "Of course you did! How much did it cost?"
He sighed. "Does it matter?"
I turned to face him; he wrapped his arm around my waist, partially encircling me. "Why are you doing this?"
"Today is your birthday, isn't it?"
The sound of my heartbeat grew until I could barely hear anything above it. "How did you know?"
"We work together. Of course I knew. But I also know," His other arm went around my waist. "That you don't celebrate it. I wanted to do something special without you catching up to it, but you're too smart for…"
He never finished his sentence. I kissed him right in the middle of that busy street.

Elvira
AS SOON AS I HEARD the click of the lock, Levi pushed the door open with his back and entered the suite backwards, kissing me with as much fervor as I was kissing him. Our lips brushed against each other, hungry for what we had been denying for weeks. Dare I say, years. It certainly felt like that for me.
Once we kissed in the street, we knew this was going to happen. The desire didn't even fade when we got to the hotel. In fact, it was hotter. And when we got into the elevator, Levi could not stop himself. He closed the space between us and claimed me like a barbarian back home from tormenting the Romans.
His lips were warm on mine. His mouth brushing against mine, letting me taste the sweet wine on his tongue. It was like an electric shock to my system, driving me wild with desire as our tongues danced an erotic dance that mimicked what we were about to do. His hands went around my waist. Down to my butt, feeling me up as he led us to the bed. When the back of his legs hit the bed, he turned us around and threw me onto it, and followed, his body covering mine.
Levi continued his assault on my senses, leaving my lips to kiss my neck, trailing his mouth down to my collarbone, his hands slowing dropping the spaghetti strap of my dress. Drawing it down and revealing my bra-free breasts. I had gone without one because of the style of the bodice. Now I was feelinglike a wanton woman for dressing so scantily. Levi's breath hitched in his throat as he gazed at my tits. "Fuck, you're so beautiful."
That must be the second time I heard him swear. We had not turned on the light when we came in and the only source was the moonlight streaming in from the windows and the balcony. A blue haze that made him look like a fallen angel.
Slowly he removed my dress, drawing it down as though he was unwrapping a present. His gaze intent on seeing what my nakedness revealed. When the dress drooped down to my waist, he dropped it and claimed my left breast with his mouth. I arched against him as he suckled my nipple. Licking, biting and scraping driving me wild with desire. I thrashed and twisted in his arms as he did the same to the other breast.
Then he drew the dress down again, pushing it firmly when it resisted against my butt. He groaned and then finally removed the dress and threw it onto the floor. My panties were already wet and offered a slight resistance that heated my cheeks. "You're so greedy, aren't you," he muttered as he took off my panties. "So wet," he whispered against my pussy. "You have no idea how much I've wanted this, Elvy."
No one has ever called me that before. And for him to say it in such an intimate setting felt special.
I moaned when his tongue made contact with my nether lips. My center gushing at the illicit touch. He kissed, licked and played with my clit, with both his hands and his tongue.Feasting on me like I was his last meal. I was putty in his hands, and soon I felt a rush. A wave came crashing down as my legs shook and my back arched, delicious tremors rocking my body.
"Fuck. I love how you taste. You taste delicious, Elvy."
