Chapter Fifteen

“This view is stunning.” Mel turned on the spot in the center of the enormous penthouse suite. The glass walls gave a 360-degree view of the city beneath them. The twinkling city lights looked like a reflection of the night sky above. Mel examined the room. There were bottles of champagne in ice on the dining table. Soft fluffy robes hung from hooks on the wall. The huge bed was on a raised platform and looked soft enough to drown in.

“It’s breathtaking, isn’t it?” Vanessa asked. “I remember how much you enjoyed watching the sunset on that rooftop, so I thought you might like the view here. I called in another favor to get this room. It was worth it, just to see your smile.”

Did Vanessa really rent a penthouse suite because she thought I’d like the view? Mel suddenly found herself overwhelmed.

“What’s the matter?” Vanessa sat Mel down on the couch.

All of Mel’s emotions poured out at once. “All this. The loans, the dinner, the hotel. It’s too much…”

“No, it’s not.” Vanessa took Mel’s hand. “Why is it so hard for you to accept things from others? Or to let them in? Do you think you don’t deserve love and happiness?”

“No. I…” Mel trailed off.

“Melanie. Look at me.” Vanessa looked deep into Mel’s eyes. “You deserve the world. And you don’t have to go through life alone.”

Mel searched the depths of her heart. Vanessa was right. Sometimes Mel did feel like she didn’t deserve to be happy. It was a side effect of a childhood spent alone and unloved. But she knew it was irrational. Maybe just for one night, she could let go of all her doubts and insecurities and enjoy the moment. “You’re right. I’m being silly.” Mel smiled. “Thank you, Vanessa. This was the perfect night.”

Vanessa kissed her. Mel laid her head on Vanessa’s shoulder and they sat in silence, sinking into each other.

After a while, Mel peered up at Vanessa from under her eyelashes. “Didn’t you say you have one more present for me?”

“Are you sure you’re up for it?”

Mel planted a fiery kiss on a very surprised Vanessa. “Yes. Definitely.”

“You’re insatiable.” Vanessa pushed Mel down onto the couch and pressed her lips against Mel’s.

A low rumble rose from Mel’s chest. Vanessa’s lips tasted faintly of wine.

She pulled Mel up off the couch and guided her to an open space in front of a large mirror on the wall. Vanessa grabbed the hem of Mel’s blouse and drew it up over her head, then tugged Mel’s skirt down to the floor. Vanessa ran her fingers over the cups of Mel’s lacy, purple bra. “These were my first gift to you.” A light smile crossed Vanessa’s lips. “I love seeing you in things that are mine.”

That was the reaction Mel had been hoping for when she had chosen to wear that set of lingerie. Vanessa didn’t need to tell her what to wear, or what to do anymore. Mel could anticipate Vanessa’s every impulse without her speaking a word.
