We stop in front of the restaurant and just in time.
Elijah's hand is trailing a little too close to where I want it to go and the smirk on his face says he knows it too.
"Thank you, Logan." He says and opens the door and gets out. He closes it and walks around and opens the door on my side.
"My love?" He says as he holds out his hand for me. I take my purse and my phone and grab his hand, "Thank you, handsome." I say as I get out of the car with his help.
He closes the door behind me and we walk over to Logan at the front.
"I'll let you know when we're done. Don't go too far." He says and gives him a tip.
"Thanks, Mr Ayre. I'll be here when you need me to be." He says and Elijah nods, "Thanks, Logan. I appreciate it. Bye." He says to him. "Goodbye, sir." He says and starts the car and drives.
He grabs my hand and we walk in together.
We get stopped by the host.
"You two beautiful people have a reservation?" He asks us.
"Yes, under Ayre, for 7pm. A table for two." Elijah says.
"Oh, of course. Here it is. Let's take you two over to your table." He says as he grabs two menus and starts to walk further into the restaurant.
I start to follow with Elijah right behind me as we are still holding hands.
After a few moments of walking we come to a stop in front of a very intimate table for two. There's a half wall with some screen on top to cover the side of the table.
You can still see through the screen. It has a beautiful pattern on it, though.
"Here's your table. You may take a seat." He says and Elijah pulls out a chair for me before I can.
"Thank you." I say as I take a seat. He walks to his chair which is arms length away, not even.
He sits down and as he does, his leg grazed against mine.
"Hi, my name is Jack. I'll be your waiter for tonight." He says as he gives us both menus.
"Jack, can you please bring one of your finest bottles of champagne for us?" Elijah asks him.
"Oh! Celebrating are we?" He asks looking at us.
"Yes, in fact we are." Elijah tells him.
"I'll be right back with your champagne then, sir." Jack says and walks off.
"What are we celebrating?" I ask him.
"Our relationship of course, my love." Elijah says as he takes my hand.
"What about our relationship?" I ask him.
"I want you to be my girlfriend, Alana. We can talk to Simon right after your birthday party and tell him." He says to me.
"You're just assuming I would say yes?" I ask him.
He traces his other hand up my leg all the way, under my dress, to my inner thigh.
"Were you gonna say no?" He asks me.
"Is that really how you're asking me?" I ask him and as I do Jack comes back with our bottle of champagne and opens it in front of us.
"I got this Jack, thank you." Elijah says and takes the bottle from him.
"My pleasure, sir." He says, smiles and walks away.
Elijah fills up both our glasses.
"I wanted to ask you after dinner. Do you want me to ask you now?" He asks as he gives my glass to me.
I take my glass, "What's wrong with asking me now?" I ask him.
"I wanted to spoil you a bit first, but fuck it." He says to me.
"Alana Hayes, I would love it if you would do me the honor of being my girlfriend... That is if you want to be." He says without breaking eye contact and his one hand still caressing my leg. His other hand is still holding my hand.
"No..." I say and try to hold a straight face for as long as possible but break after only a few seconds.
"I'm sorry, that was a bad joke. Of course! I would love to be your girlfriend." I say to him.
"Don't fuck with me like that again, my love. My heart almost stopped." He says and I can't help but smile.
"I won't again, okay?" I say as I lean forward looking into his eyes.
"You probably will, but it's okay." He says without breaking eye contact.
"And why is that?" I ask him.
He touches my face, "Because that means I get to do it too." He says and I can't help but smile.
"Oh, is that so?" I ask him and he nods, "Yes, it is, my love." He says and we share a kiss, his hand trailing back up my thigh.
"Sorry to interrupt, but are you two ready to order?" Jack says and we both break the kiss.
***************
We ordered some dinner and it was delicious.
We made some small talk about our day. I just left out the part about Ethan. I didn't want him to ruin the mood.
We also talked about how we are going to tell Simon about our relationship, now that it's official and we decided the morning after my birthday party would be best so we can have a drama free birthday party.
Just take the drama head on the next day and handle it the best we can.
We're just finishing up our dessert and Elijah's hand hasn't left my inner thigh in a while.
"You enjoying your dessert, my love?" He asks me as he caresses my inner thigh.
"Yes, it's to die for. And you, handsome?" I ask him.
"Yes the dessert is good, but I can think of something better to eat." He says as his hand goes all the way between my legs.
"No, what if someone catches us?" I ask him softly.
"I just can't keep my hands off you." He says as he starts rubbing me between my legs.
"Elijah, someone is gonna see." I tell him and he shakes his head as he continues.
"Nobody's going to see a thing. Trust me, my love." He says reassuring me. Not that it's helping much.
All I can focus on is his hand between my legs. It feels so good.
"Have you done this before?" I ask him and he shakes his head.
"No, but I just couldn't keep my hands off you and now you are so wet, I don't want to take my hand off you." He says to me and I can't help but blush.
"You wanna go back to the apartment?" I ask him and he nods, "I already signaled the waiter. I want to rip that dress off you right now." He says to me.
"This dress wasn't cheap, you know?" I ask him, blushing even more.
"I'll just buy you a new one." He says and kisses me, passionately.
After paying, we walk outside and as we get outside I see the limousine there with Logan.
We walk over to it and Elijah opens the door for me.
I get in and he gets in after me and closes the door behind him.
"Where to, Mr Ayre?" Logan asks him.
"Home, please Logan." He says to him.
"Right away, sir." He says and closes the little window, and starts the limousine.
As soon as he starts to drive Elijah grabs me and kisses me.
His hand traces back up my inner thigh.
"Woah, someone's in a hurry." I say as I break our kiss.
"Oh, do you want me to go slow?" He asks as he starts rubbing me between my legs slowly and I let out a gasp as I feel his hand.
"The slower you go the longer it lasts." I tell him and he smiles. I can't help but bite my lip.
"Not necessarily." He says as he kisses me and bites my lip, as he does he moves my lingerie out of the way, and I can't help but spread my legs.
"That's my girl." He says softly as he inserts one finger and starts a slow rhythm.
"Elijah, please..." I start my sentence but lose my train of thought as all I can think about is his hand between my legs.
"Is that slow enough?" He whispers in my ear and I get goosebumps all over.
"Elijah..." before I can continue my sentence he starts kissing me and we start making out.
I break our kiss, "Isn't this gonna mess up our..." I say but he interrupts me, "If you say clothes one more time I'm going to undress you right now and the only thing you'll be wearing is my jacket when we stop and get out at the apartment."
"I just don't wanna ruin anything." I tell him.
"If it smells like you, it's anything but ruined." He says and continues the slow rhythm.
"You really have an answer for everything?" I ask him.
"When it comes to you, I do." He tells me and I can't help but let out a moan.
I'm trying to stay focused on our conversation but he's making it hard.
"Elijah, you're making it hard for me to focus." I tell him.
"Oh, do you want me to stop then, my love?" He asks me with a smirk on his face.
Before I could answer the car comes to a stop.
Elijah stops and makes sure I'm covered just in time as Logan opens up the window seconds later.
"We're here, Mr Ayre." Logan says as he looks at us.
Elijah clears his throat and says, "Thank you, Logan." He says and straightened his suit as he opens the door and gets out of the car.
He holds out his hand and I take it and get out of the car, after grabbing everything.
He walks over to Logan and tips him as he says, "Thank you, sir. Enjoy the rest of your night." He says and Elijah glances at me before he looks back at him, "Oh, I sure will. You too, Logan. See you soon." He says and they share a hand shake before he drives off.
"You ready to go inside, my love?" He asks me as he holds out his hand.
I nod and take his hand, "Yes, let's go, handsome." I say and we start to walk inside.
We get inside the elevator and he presses the needed buttons for the elevator to go to his apartment.
Just as we near the apartment Elijah grabs me and starts kissing me.
"What if Simon's home?" I ask as I break our kiss.
"Let's just forget about him for now. He's the least of my worries." He says and kisses me again.
"And why is that?" I ask him breaking the kiss again.
"Because tonight is all about you. About us. Let's not let him spoil it." He says as he looks at me.
"You're right. I'll stop worrying. I'm sorry." I say to him.
"Nothing to be sorry about. I'm just reassuring you that he's not going to be a problem tonight, my love." He says not breaking eye contact.
"Okay, I appreciate you saying that. Thanks, Elijah." I say to him with a faint smile on my face.
"Anything for you, my love. Anything for you." He says as he rests his forehead against mine.
I lean in and we share a kiss. As we do the elevator comes to a stop and the doors open.
We break our kiss and look to the side and see Melanie standing there.
"Is he here?" I ask her softly.
She let's out a laugh, "No, you love birds are safe. He forgot something but he couldn't get it because he's a little tied down at the moment." She says as she walks into the elevator and we walk into the apartment.
"I didn't take him for a bondage guy." Elijah says out of the blue. I can't help but let out a laugh.
"Well, he doesn't like to admit it but long story short with enough convincing I can get him to do whatever I want." She says with a smirk on her face and presses the elevator's buttons.
"See you two tomorrow." She says as the doors close.
"Bye." I say softly.
"See you tomorrow." Elijah says as the doors close completely.
"I wasn't expecting to find that out about my brother tonight." I tell Elijah.
"Me neither. He's my best friend. How did I not know that?" He asks rhetorically.
I let out a laugh, "Oh well, each to their own, I guess. I don't judge." I tell him.
"Yeah, me neither but still... surprising." He says and I nod, "Yeah, definitely." I answer.
"Anyway, I got you something." He says after a moment of silence.
"I have a surprise for you too, actually." I tell him.
"Oh, you didn't have to, my love. I thought I was spoiling you tonight." He tells me as he caresses my face.
"I got two surprises actually." I tell him as a smile forms on my face.
"Are you serious?" He asks me and I nod.
"Yes, come on. Let me show you." I say as I take his hand and we walk to my room.
I open the door and we enter my room. Elijah closes the door behind us.
"Just wait here. I'll be right back." I say to him and go to my closet to go get the hoodie I got him.
I take off my dress. Leaving the lingerie on. I pick up the hoodie I got him and hold it against my body to hide the lingerie.
I walk out of the closet and see him stand up from the bed and walk over to me.
"I told you, you could keep the hoodie, my love." He says as he stops in front of me.
"I got you your own one. So, we both have one now. That's kinda surprise number one." I tell him.
"You didn't have to, but thank you, my love. What's the second surprise?" He asks me.
"Well..." I say as I move his hoodie out of the way and put it on the chair next to me. "...this." I say nervously.
"You are beyond breathtaking, my love. Come here." He says to me and picks me up. I let out a little gasp as he does. He walks us over to my bed and puts me down on it.
He takes off my lingerie as he gives me soft, tender kisses all over my body.
He gives me one passionate kiss and works his way down my body.
He starts eating me out and I can't help but grab onto his hair. I let out a moan as his grip tightens on my thighs.
I don't want this to end... ever, but I don't know how long I will be able to hold out. He is hitting all the right spots.
Just as I wanted to say something I finish in his mouth.
He stands up and takes his clothes off as he does. His presence just makes me feel something I don't know how to describe and I don't want it to stop.
He picks me up as he lies down and grabs me and puts me on top of him.
"God! You're so fucking beautiful, my love." He says as he looks at me, his hands caressing my body, softly.
"Don't even get me started on you." I say as I grab him and kiss him.
He inserts himself without breaking our kiss.
I can't help but let out a gasp and he just let's out a chuckle. "What did I do?" I ask him.
He smiles and shakes his head, "Nothing. Come here." He says and kisses me again.
Me make out, as I'm on top, riding him.
His hands on my hips, his eyes on me. Nothing can ruin this now.
Our relationship is official and it's finally our time.
No more hiding.
*******
After who knows how long and how many positions we both finished, again.
I don't know what time it is and I don't even care. All I care about right now is our sweaty bodies against each other, breathing perfectly in sync.
"You're so beautiful, my love." He says as he brushes his hand through my damp hair.
"Can I ask you something?" I ask him as I turn and look at him.
"Anything, go ahead, my love." He says as he looks at me, admiringly.
"This might be a bit forward but why do you call me that?" I ask him.
"Call you what?" He asks me looking confused.
"My love... why not babe, or baby or something like..." I say and stop the sentence as I'm a bit fumbled. I can't think of anymore nicknames.
"...like what?" He asks me with a grin on his face.
"Like... I don't know, something like..." I say and get interrupted by him.
"You really want to know the reason?" He asks me and I nod, "Yeah, because no one has ever called me that. So, I'm honestly, just curious." I tell him.
"Are you sure you're ready for this, my love?" He asks me with a grin on his face.
"Yes, I am! Now stop teasing me." I tell him with a grin on my face.
He gently touches my face and looks me in the eyes.
"I call you my love because... Alana Hayes, I am in love with you, and I love you more than words could ever describe." He says as he caresses my face, without breaking eye contact.
"Are you serious, Mr Elijah Ayre?" I ask him with a gigantic smile on my face.
"Never been more serious about anything in my life, Alana." He says looking at me.
"Promise?" I ask him. He gives me a soft kiss. "I promise, Alana." He says without breaking eye contact.
"I love you so much, Elijah. More than words." I tell him.
"More than words?" He asks me and I nod.
"More than words." I say to him.
"More than everything?" He asks me.
"Everything." I say as I can't help but blush.
"Everything?" He asks me again.
I nod and say, "Everything."
We share one last kiss before we curl up in my bed.
He pulls me closer to him, "Goodnight, my love. Sweet dreams. I love you." He says and gives me a kiss on the back of my head.
"Goodnight, sweet dreams. I love you too." I say and kiss his hand before cuddling up even more.
I close my eyes and try to fall asleep.
I can't believe everything that happened tonight.
So many unbelievable things happened tonight.
I can't wait for tomorrow and every other day we spend together.
I've been through enough pain and suffering. Now I finally get to choose what I want, who I want and how I want it.
Even if it's going to upset my brother. He can suck it up for once.
I deserve to be happy too. He can't take that away from me.
No one can.
Not anymore...
