Chapter Nine

J.J. chased his goddess into the open elevator.

They collapsed against the back wall, gasping for air. Once in the elevator, J.J. couldn't contain his ardor, drawing Diana back into his arms for another kiss. A kiss that lasted from the time the doors closed until they opened on her floor. He let her lead him to the room that would take them to heaven.

Tucking his keycard into his vest pocket, he then took Diana’s noting the S before the number. He said not a word as he curled her arm around his forearm, unwilling to let go should she disappear.

Key in hand, he slid the card through the reader, entering first to turn on the light. He then dimmed the lights searching for the right mood lighting. He handed her the card and watched her glide across the floor, tossing the card on the bar, then carefully set the rose on her dresser. She moved to the French doors leading to the balcony and pushed them open to let the fresh sea breeze into the room.

He smiled. It was as if his goddess read his mind.

She turned around and leaned against the opened door in a seductive stance. She stared at J.J. for several beats of his heart then casually strolled back into his outstretched arms.

Diana toyed with the ascot, her hands shaking as she untied it.

He captured her hands and kissed her palms one at a time. “I apologize, I suppose I should ask your name, but you took my breath away when I walked into that room. I was all prepared to have a terrible time, until I laid eyes on you, that is.” The woman before him was neither the high maintenance woman nor the bashful girl. He pulled her close to his chest, wanting to feel her warmth.

When she pulled away to look up into his eyes, she smiled a smile he'd never seen on a woman before. It wasn't quite loving, and it wasn't lust, but he couldn't put a label on it. What surprised him more was that she didn’t seem to recognize him. And something about the entire concept of a spontaneous evening alone elicited even more delectable and romantic ideas.

Diana’s smile robbed him of the ability to swallow. “I know, I thought the same thing. I had no idea what to expect until I got there. Imagine how embarrassing it was to walk in the room. Sheesh, I felt overdressed. Have you ever seen so much skin in your life?” She continued to talk, speaking in rapid sentences to cover her nervousness. Her hand practically vibrated against him.

When he glanced down, he saw her erect nipples pressing against the thin material of her gown, which immediately solicited a reaction his pants couldn't afford to spare.

“And your name is?”

“Diana. And yours?”

He took her response as a sign of playing the part. “Ah, I see. I am the Phantom, naturally. Sing for me.” He proceeded to execute the perfect bow, cape in each hand, trying to pull off suave and lethal at the same time.
