"A date. I think it would be nice to go out and have fun. Just us away from home." I was usually away at work, and she was occupied with Alfred most of the time. We deserved a little break.

"I like the sound of that, though a restaurant date would be too cliché." She ran her hand lightly over the bare skin of my thigh. I felt a quickening in my abdomen.

"Hmm, what would you like us to do?" I kissed the back of her neck. I stopped myself from doing anything else since Alfred was around.

"Let's go to a club. We can drink, dance, and have fun. I've only ever been to a club a handful of times. I think it's the best way to let loose." She turned abruptly, facing me with excitement written plainly on her face.

I smiled, happy that she wanted to spend time with me. Back in college, I went to a few clubs; however, when I took over the business, I had to meet up with some business partners at exclusive clubs. I never stayed for the fun. It would be nice to have this experience with her. "That's a great idea. I know just the place. We leave by sundown."

"About Alfred…." She hugged me as she pointed to Alfred, who had a slice of apple in his mouth. He sat in his car eating. He saw us looking and waved. I waved back.

"We won't be gone for long, and the guards will be around to take care of him. If there's any problem, we will come back immediately." That seemed not to satisfy her.

"How about this? Let me call my friend, Jen. She has been of great help to me and Alfred. I don't know how I could have done it without her help." I recalled the fiery young woman who was with her at her apartment that night. I nodded, showing that I agreed. She smiled and brought out her phone.

"Hey, Jen... Yes, I’m fine. I called to ask you for a favor. I’d appreciate if you could do this for me.” She looked at me confidently. I stroked her slowly. I was happy Crystal had someone she could trust. I couldn’t hear what Jen said, but from the look in her eyes, it was good.

“Okay, Lorenzo and I are going out tonight, and I am afraid of leaving him alone. Could you please come and babysit for the night? I’ll be in your debt.” Her eyes widened, and she gave me a nod.

“What would I ever do without you. Thanks. I’ll be expecting you later. See you soon.” She cut the call and smiled. “She agreed. She would be here before we leave.”

“Good.” I pulled her into my arms, feeling tranquil. We stayed like this for a while, each of us lost in our thoughts.

Later in the evening, after welcoming Jen and putting Alfred to bed, I ordered the guards to stay alert and report any drastic change immediately. I went to Crystal's room to check up on her. She opened the door after the first knock. She wore a gold strapless satin dress; her hair was falling around her exposed shoulders. "You look lovely, Crystal." I took her hand, kissing it.

"Thank you. We should leave now." She linked her arm through mine, and we left her room. She said goodbye to Jen before we left the house. The club I had in mind was an exclusive venue meant for VIPS and celebrities. They were tight lipped and had no CCTVS inside the building to protect the identity of their clients.

When we arrived at 407 Picasso Club, I parked in their exclusive parking space. I helped Crystal out of the car and led her to the VIP entrance at the back of the building. A bouncer stopped me, and I showed him my VIP card. Winking at Crystal, we entered the building and took an elevator to the VIP floor.

As we got out, the sound of the music washed over us. A catchy pop-rap music was playing, and people were dancing freely on a platform. The VIP section was more restrained although some people were openly making out. I led Crystal to the bar, and we ordered our drinks.

I didn't know what to do exactly - either we dance or make out. Either option was fine to me. "We didn't come all this way for nothing, did we?" Crystal set her drink down and pressed her body to mine. She smelled divine. I shook my head in response.

"Then let's dance…" As soon as she said that the music turned into a sensual slow R&B song and the light of the club dimmed, heightening my other senses.

I gulped down my drink and let Crystal take the lead. She moved her body to the beat. I gripped her waist as she moved seductively. Her satin dress felt slippery in my hands. I joined her rhythm - letting go of my inhibition. Others were dancing around us, but we paid them no mind. I was getting drunk on Crystal.

We ordered more drinks - drinking and dancing as the music hit a crescendo. Crystal's lips looked darker in the light, like a ripe fruit meant to be eaten. I stopped dancing for a moment, pulling her soft body against mine to kiss her. She melted in my arms. Her arms coiled around my neck, pulling me deeper into the kiss. She stopped to catch her breath.

I was hot and hard - I needed her now. We could get a private room and get on with it. The music changed, picking up its tempo. Everyone cheered; they liked the artist, including Crystal. She made me do some erotic dance moves, trying to recreate what the lyrics were saying. I let myself enter her ebb and flow. I had never had this much fun before. My blood was pumping hard with the beat of the music.

After what seemed like hours dancing and making out, we left the club. I was a bit tipsy, and it seemed that Crystal's tolerance had improved, although she still needed me for support. The cool night air did nothing to reduce the heat rising in my body. Rather, Crystal's proximity only made me harder: my erection was straining in my pants.

I reached my car and opened the back seat to let Crystal rest on the way home. "Come here," she slurred her words. She pulled me, making me lie down with her in the back seat. She kissed me feverishly, her hands straining to unbuckle my belt. I sighed into her kiss, knowing how needy she was.

"Let's get home, dear." I tried to persuade her. She gripped me tighter.

"I want you here and now. Trust me, I consent to this." Getting her consent, I stopped hesitating. Closing the door behind me, I made her sit up with her legs spread. I was hungry for her. Hiking up her dress above her waist, I kissed her as my fingers went beneath her panties, touching her wet arousal. She moaned, biting her lips to keep her voice down.

I grinned. Sticking two fingers in, I rubbed and jerked them as I brought out her breasts to suck on the huge mound of flesh. I took off her pants and went down on her. She was clean shaven and pink, with her lips pulsing slightly. Biting the flesh in between her thighs, I brought my face to the center and sucked noisily. She let out a scream and pushed my head deeper into her. I continued - I brought out my tongue, thrusting inside her for a while before licking her pleasure bud. When she came, my beard was wetter than before.

She pulled my face to hers and we kissed. While I was down on her, I brought out my throbbing length. Although the space in the back of the car was cramped, we made do. She lay on her back and wrapped her legs around my waist. I kissed her as I slowly inserted myself into her. Fireworks went off behind my eyes. Having sex with her never felt tiring - there was always something new and fierce about it.

Thrusting into her rapidly, the car swayed to my rhythm. Crystal seemed to want more, so I gave more. Our bodies sang the same song of pleasure. Our voices - grunts, groans, and moans - echoed in the car. I couldn't say for sure who came first, but all the muscles in my body stiffened as electric waves of pleasure went off in my brain. I felt my body crash on top of Crystal, who had a tired but satisfied smile on her face. When I was able to move my limbs, all I could say was, "Crystal…"
