Hell, just looking at her had wild thoughts running through my head. Thinking of running my hands up the sides of her dress, making her whimper and moan with just my touch. Kissing those beautiful big lips of hers, ruining her make-up and her lipgloss.
A smirk formed on my lips. I needed to calm myself down, because my pants were suddenly feeling way too fucking tight.
“Where are we going then?” she asked sheepishly, snapping me out of my thoughts.
“If I told you, that would ruin the surprise,” I replied coyly, coughing loudly to snap myself out of my trance.
“In that case,” Sapphire chortled, “let's go.”
She walked in front of me, and I took this opportunity to stare at her perfect ass as she walked. It wobbled from side-to-side as her high-heels slammed and click-clacked on the floor.
Her ass was so fucking round, fat, peachy and perfect. I was enjoying the view way too fucking much.
We reached the door of my Ferrari, and I 259
opened it to allow her to sit inside. She bended deliberately so that her ass was in the air. It was like she was getting a kick out of teasing me. I would have to punish her for being a bad girl later.
“I’m so excited for tonight,” she said, blushing as she sat down and put her seatbelt on.
“So am I, babe,” I smiled, as I slid into the Driver’s seat, and began driving.
We drove down the motorway, playing a playlist of amazing tracks. The tracks went from drill songs from UK rappers like Aitch, to hip-hop songs from Chris Brown, to sexy songs like The Artist by Jay Sean.
When the song by Jay Sean started playing, the car went eerily quiet with tension.
You’re my canvas, lying naked.
Let me paint a perfect picture for you baby…
Let me keep you wet with every stroke I’m making.
Sapphire went deep red. I guessed that she was thinking the same thing that I was. Her looking this good, with this song playing, was really pushing my fucking limits. It was getting harder and harder to restrain myself.
260
But I wanted to save the best till later. We had a fucking date to get to, as much as I wanted to slam her against my car seat and have my way with her.
I quickly changed the song, not wanting to turn myself on even more with the thought of Sapphire.
“I love your taste in music,” Sapphire giggled. “I can’t remember the last time I met someone with a similar taste to mine.”
“I’m glad to hear that, babe,” I smiled, and then I put on Baby Shark for the sake of us both being able to have a fucking laugh for the rest of the journey after the tension of the previous song. Sapphire burst into a fit of giggles.
“For a guy who’s a fucking CEO, you sure haven’t grown up at all,” she said cheekily.
I laughed in response. We were nearly at the destination for our date.
I took Sapphire’s hand in mine, as we arrived at the destination.
“Close your eyes, babe,” I grinned.
“If you say so,” she smiled, and then shut her eyes with her hands.
“And no peaking!”
She giggled in response. I walked inside 261
the building, nodding at the manager since I’d reserved the whole place for ourselves.
I carefully led Sapphire up the stairs, making sure that she would be able to keep her balance in her high-heels as she walked. I held her upright with my big, strong arms, to help support her.
“You can open your eyes now,” I grinned.
Sapphire took her hands off of her face, and her jaw dropped in awe as she took in her surroundings.
“Oh my God, a rooftop restaurant!” she exclaimed in disbelief. “I've never been to one of these before.”
It was a truly beautiful rooftop restaurant.
There was an open view of the city skyline, and a cool breeze that lapped in our faces. The moon was out too. It looked breath-taking.
I chuckled in response, happy that she liked the surprise. I’d really tried pulling out all the stops tonight, wanting to impress her since this was our first time going out together. Her appreciating it just made me feel even happier, because I’d been paranoid that she thought I hadn’t done enough.
“Well if you just stand there gawping, you'll never get to taste the food,” I said coyly.
She giggled. “Thanks for this Donte,” she 262
blushed. “It really means a lot. Nobody has ever done something like this for me before.”
She began scratching her arm awkwardly, her face falling as she said this. It was sad, because she deserved to be treated like a queen.
It was a fucking shame that the dirt she’d had in the past didn’t treat her how she deserved to be treated.
I wanted her to feel more comfortable around me. I didn’t want to ruin the night by making her relive unhappy memories. I wanted tonight to be about us, and us only.
“Ladies first,” I said, making way for her to go sit at the table.
She nodded, and began walking in front of me, making her way to the table. I couldn’t resist but to take in the view again. That was a view I’d never fucking tire from watching.
“Are you just gonna stand there staring at my ass, or come and eat?!” Sapphire called out.
I coughed loudly. She’d realized how much I enjoyed the view. The real reason why I always asked her to walk in front of me, and I couldn’t help but to laugh. She was so laid back and unbothered, and I loved that about her.
“Coming, babe.” I winked at her cheekily, before sitting down at the table with her.
She opened up the menu, her eyes 263
scanning the different food that was on offer at the restaurant.
“Everything looks so expensive here,” she commented nervously.
“I own the place, don't worry about it,” I shrugged, unfazed.
She giggled. I guessed that she felt a little bad for making me pay so much, but money wasn’t a thing to me. I had enough of it. Too much of it, in fact. Besides, she should know that men always pay for the first date. And I wouldn’t only pay for the first, but every date that we had after this. I wouldn’t even allow her to reach for her damn wallet.
If I got lucky enough to see her again after this… If she enjoyed my company enough to want to go on more dates with me.
“Is there anything you can't do?” Sapphire gushed, with her hands on her hips.
“Hmm,” I murmured. “Nope.”
Sapphire tittered in response.
“So, what are you having?” I simpered.
“Well, I'm quite a basic woman,” Sapphire made light of, “so I'll just have pizza and chips.”
I laughed. There was an extravagant menu in front of her, and she chose the option that you could get from any old place. She reminded me so much of myself, because I had filthy riches, 264
but that wouldn’t stop me from enjoying the food that I would normally eat before I had money. Expensive food was tosh, anyway.
“Babe, you're far from basic,” I grinned, and she rubbed her neck sheepishly in response.
“In that case, I'll have pizza and chips too.”
Sapphire nodded, before darting her eyes back to her menu. Her eyes widened in disbelief.
“Oh my God, why is it 50 dollars for a glass of water?!”
I couldn’t help but to crack up. She really wasn’t used to fine dining.
“It's on the house babe, don't worry.
Besides, I wouldn't make you pay,” I shrugged.
“You're so sweet,” she blushed. “I don't know why I was such a bitch to you earlier. I honestly didn’t expect to have this much fun with you at all.”
“Far from a bitch, babe,” I reassured her, smiling and lightening the mood. “I just see it as you playing hard to get.”
“Well, when you put it that way…”
Sapphire tittered.
I let out a snigger. The waitress walked over to us, with the meals ready for us to eat in platt
ers.
“Your food is ready,” she grinned.
She laid the plates down on the table, and 265
Sapphire stuck in to the pizza straight away, not bothering with a knife and fork. A smirk formed on my lips. It was so nice to see that she was comfortable around me. I’d met too many women who wouldn’t even dare to eat a piece of lettuce in front of a man, but Sapphire ravished her food, not caring what I thought, with no fucking regrets.
It was sexy as fuck.
I could barely touch my own food, because I was so mesmerized by watching her.
Gulping down slice after slice. Even with her mouth full, she was still so fucking beautiful.
She grabbed hold of a tissue, dabbing at her mouth with it as she finished the last slice.
“Fuck me, that was delicious,” she sighed.
“I love a girl that can eat,” I laughed.
“You're gonna have to get used to me then,” she giggled.
“Oh babe, I intend to do just that,” I murmured.
She blushed underneath my intense gaze.
“Do you want a drink?” I offered. “Maybe some wine?”
“I'd love one,” Sapphire admitted.
I grinned at her, glad that she was making the most of the menu.

We sipped on our wine, and talked to each other about anything and everything.
I had a great time getting to know Donte.
He
was
sweet,
charming,
understanding…
He told me all about his family, his mom, dad and three brothers.
How he worked his way up to own several businesses.
He didn't mention anything about the 267
Mafia…
I didn't expect him to.
But he honestly seemed like a really good guy.
I was able to see past everything about the Mafia, because deep down, I knew…
I knew that he wasn't a bad person.
I knew from the day he saved that woman from the rapist.
That it couldn't be Donte behind the murders…
Felicia had told me that Donte would never kill innocents, too. And from spending time with him, I could see that he would never do that. He wasn’t the monster that I originally thought he was when I walked into his office for the first time ever that day.
I knew that I still had to work on finding out who was behind the murders…
But for now, I was just happy to enjoy his company.
Every time he complimented me, it gave me butterflies.
He was funny, caring, considerate…
I barely knew him…
But I knew from this point on, he would play a massive part in my life.
And it excited me.
268
I deserved to be treated right…
Especially after everything I'd fucking been through growing up.
“Shall we get out of here?” I smiled, with my hands on my hips.
“Yeah,” Donte nodded. “But there's still somewhere I want to take you.”
“You've done more than enough,” I blushed.
Donte chuckled. “I promise I'll make this date worth your while.”
“But you already have,” I replied sheepishly. “I've really enjoyed your company tonight.”
“The fun's just getting started babe,”
Donte shrugged, flashing me a cheeky, playful smirk.
“If you say so,” I grinned, not wanting to put on a fight, because this man continued to amaze me with all of the stops he’d pulled out.
“Lead the way.”
We made our way out of the restaurant, and I couldn’t wait to see what else he had in store.
Donte drove down the motorway again, forcing me to close my eyes again as we got closer to our 269
destination. He wrapped his arms around me as he led me to the place where he wanted us to go.
“You can open up your eyes now,” he grinned.
I opened up my eyes…
And then I squinted them again in fucking disbelief.
I stared at what was in front of me. I was literally just staring at a brick wall, surrounded by bushes, failing to see where the fucking surprise was, or why the hell he’d brought me here.
Donte noticed the expression on my face, and roared with laughter.
“You seriously brought me all this way, in my heels and maxi dress, to stand behind a brick wall?” I said, repulsed.
“Oh ye of little faith,” Donte sniggered.
“Well, will you help me to see where the surprise is?” I shot back sarcastically. “Cos I'm failing to make sense of it right now.”
“We're going to spray paint this wall,”
Donte smirked, with his hands on his hips.
“What?” I replied in disbelief.
“You heard me,” he said smugly. “To prove to you that there's more to me than just money and business. I can have fun too.”
I couldn’t help but to giggle. “I think 270
you've proved that already.”
“Don't worry babe,” he shrugged. “We won't get into any trouble.”
“I didn't know you were this reckless,” I smirked. “Isn’t graffitiing against the law?”
Donte cracked up. “Who gives a fuck about the law? Come on.”
He took my hand into his, and then…
Out of nowhere, Donte splatted my face with paint.
“You prick!” I retorted, grabbing a can from the floor and spraying it on his clothes.
“Take that, sucker.”
“Oh no you don't,” Donte remarked, and then splatted me with paint on my dress too. I burst into a fit of giggles. Both of our outfits were ruined, but we couldn’t give two shit’s, because we were having such a laugh.
We carried on splatting each other with paint repeatedly. I was having so much fun. My ribs were hurting from laughing.
I hadn't laughed like this in a long time.
I enjoyed Donte's company so much.
And before I knew it…
We'd graffitied a masterpiece on the wall.
A beautiful spray-painted painting, of a girl with long hair, big eyes, and a beautiful smile, using different colours like blue, pink, 271
purple, green and yellow. It looked positively fucking mesmerizing.
It kind of looked like me.
“It's beautiful,” I said sheepishly.
“It looks just like you,” Donte murmured.
Even he thought that it did. I could feel blush creep to my cheeks.
The surroundings went eerily quiet as me and Donte stared at each other. We were both lost for words. Both stunned at our capability to produce such a work of art. I could feel my heart hammer against my chest as I stared at him. I was feeling emotional just recounting the night, and how much he’d done for me. Nobody had ever gone to such trouble for me before, or even made an effort with me like this.
“Thank you so much Donte,” I mumbled.
“For everything. I haven't had so much fun in a long time.”
“It was my pleasure babe,” Donte murmured, tucking a loose strand of my hair behind my ear as he took steps closer to me, closing the gap between us. “I hope it'll be the first date of many.”
“I'd like that,” I blushed.
I felt myself let out a sigh that I didn’t know I was holding. Donte took another step closer to me, and now, there was no space left 272
between us. His lips were just inches away from mine. My eyes burned to his, and his eyes suddenly began smouldering with lust. I bit my lip in anticipation, my heart hammering against my chest in a frenzy.
Donte’s hands made their way to my bare back on my open-back maxi dress, as he slowly traced circles on my bare skin, setting me on fire.
A moan escaped my lips as his fingers reached lower, to the point that they were resting just above my ass. I continued to whimper as he traced ci
rcles on the arch of my back. He let out a deep groan, causing me to burn underneath him.
“I don't know about you,” he murmured, lifting my chin upwards to bring my mouth closer to his, “but I'm not ready for the night to end just yet.”

“You're
so
beautiful,
Sapphire,”
Donte
murmured. “I've been wanting to do this all night.”
Before I knew it, Donte claimed his mouth with mine.
I could feel the air knock out of my lungs.
I was unsure at first, but before I knew it, I was kissing him back.
Like he was the thing that I needed, the thing that I'd been missing all my life.
274
The kiss was full of passion, hunger and lust.
I wasn't only sexually attracted to this man…
It was like he was claiming his soul with mine.
Like we were soulmates.
He made me feel so beautiful.
Like no other woman existed.
I slowly allowed my hand to move to his hair…
Pulling him closer to me.
“Fuck,” I whimpered.
My whole body was on fire. My vision was getting cloudy. All I could see was him.
All I wanted was him.
His tongue slid into my mouth, playing with mine in a fury, as he kissed me with urgency. He kissed me as if his life depended on it. His hands were all over me, rubbing up and down my bare back, causing me to moan uncontrollably against his mouth, and it was the sexiest thing ever. He grabbed hold of my ass, squeezing it and slapping it as I whimpered breathlessly against his touch. He picked me up, causing my thighs to wrap against his big, strong body. His lips moved away from my mouth, and began travelling to my neck, leaving a trail of wet 275
kisses as he licked and sucked on my sensitive spot.
“Fuck!” I moaned. “Don’t stop… That feels so good…”
Before I knew it, he pulled away. It came to an abrupt stop…
But I didn't want it to fucking stop.
“Jesus, Sapphire,” he growled. “What are you doing to me?”
