"Thank you again for dinner, it was lovely!" she said to him as they relaxed on his couch. "And this wine. It's so good! Where did you get it from?"
He laughed. "I knew you'd like it. It was a little pricey but definitely worth it to see you enjoy it so much." He took a sip of his red wine, looking meaningfully at her over the rim of his glass. There was something about the way he looked at her in that way that made her insides flip, especially down below.
"Pricey? What, was it was a whole $20? My goodness, what a treat."
He arched an eyebrow at her. "A little more than that, I think it was about $85. But worth every penny, if you're enjoying it that much."
She nearly choked on her sip. That was a lot more than she expected, and here she was throwing it back like juice. "Oh! You don't need to spend that much on me, you know..."
"I know that. I spent that much on you because I choose to, and it pleases me, ok? Don't worry. Just be careful with it!"
Well, that got her back up. "Careful? When haven't I been careful? I'll have you know I'm incredibly careful! Why, if it wasn't for you, I would never have spilled the last time - "
He leaned back in his seat, smirking at her, as she got increasingly wound up about this imagined slight. He reached up and adjusted the tie he had worn for their dinner date, and was clearly more interested in the way her breasts moved about under her dress than the insult she clearly felt very strongly about (at least in the moment). This didn't help calm her down in the least. Her hands became more and more animated as she talked, and finally the inevitable happened - one hand swung and promptly nailed her wine glass, sending red wine splashing all over his couch.
"Oh, god! I'm sorry!" she cried, kicking herself mentally for doing the very thing he warned her about. She knew he'd be cross with her now. She ran to the kitchen to get a cloth and wipe it up, or at least as best she could in the fuck-me heels she was wearing and the tight little black dress she had on. She came back in and crouched on her hands and knees to scrub the couch.
"I'm so sorry," she repeated. "I'm such a klutz, I spilled your nice wine you bought me all over your couch, I hope it doesn't stain, if it does I can't really afford to pay to have it cleaned but maybe I could pay for part of it and -" She hated how much she was babbling, but the date had gone so well she didn't want to ruin it. It looked like she had gotten most of it out, and she glanced over her shoulder at him.
He was standing behind her, quite clearly looking down at her backside, as she vigorously scrubbed away, and had a funny look on his face. Something about it made her voice catch in her throat. One hand was in his pocket, and the other was rubbing his chin, thoughtfully. At that moment, at least, he seemed very, very large. Or at least she seemed very small in comparison. Her eyes travelled down his snug dress shirt (she really liked the way it was snug on his chest and arms) towards his neat dress pants, where she saw...
oh, goodness,
she thought.
His pants were tight, as a very noticeable erection pressed against the front. Her mouth got very dry, very fast. She looked up at him, silent.
He looked down at her, his eyes cloudy and hard to read. Then, holding her gaze, he slowly unbuttoned one sleeve and rolled it up. He did the same for the other sleeve, and then crossed his arms. Something about the way his forearms looked made her warm, deep inside. She put her hand on the couch, as if to stand up, but he interrupted her.
"Don't you dare move." Something about how he said it made her listen, and she froze, her hand resting uselessly on the now-damp couch. "Don't you move an inch."
She swallowed, deeply, and started to talk. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to - "
He cut her off again: "Quiet, now." She shut up, and the room got very quiet, very fast.
He walked over to her slowly, and crouched down beside her. His hand reached back, and caressed her back,dipping down almost to her bottom before he came back up her spine again to the nape of her neck, and nestled in her hair, taking a handful in his firm grip and and gently turning her head to face his.
"Angel," he breathed. "You know what I need to do, now, right?"
She nodded, and although she wasn't quite sure what it would be, she didn't much care - she knew he would take care of her.
In a very small voice, she said "I'm really sorry. Can I make it up to you? I'll do anything..." trailing off meaningfully.
