Ready for Opening Night (Closed)

[Lustful_Intentions]

Jack leaned against the railing as she made her way to the stairs. Even dressed down for the workout, her hair pulled back, forehead dotted with sweat, Kali seemed so put together, so graceful. Drumming his fingers on the railing, he watched as she reached the bottom step, putting one foot on it, her slender hand wrapping the black metal of the handrail.

"I think they finally got the fixtures for the bathroom in my office in. Hopefully, they left all the tarps down on the furniture and the computers. When they were hanging the dry wall, the made a real mess up here." He motioned with his hand for her to come upstairs. "Here, come take a look-I could use a different set of eyes to tell me if I picked out something that works up here." He smiled. "Though, I guess I could have used that opinion before I picked out the fixtures."

As Kali reached the top of the steps, Jack turned and started across the walkway to the office. Over his shoulder, he remarked to her, "I didn't expect to see you here tonight-getting some good work in?"

 

[Kaligurl222]

She listened as he talked about the progress being made as she climbed the stairs. She laughed about him wanting another opinion. She looked around and smiled when she looked back over at him, "you did good.... You have good taste Jack.... You can trust your gut." She walked over to where the one way mirrors would be installed and looked down over the club, careful not to get to close. When he mentioned her being at the club she laughed and shrugged her shoulders, "when I got back to my hotel i had a text message on my phone from her asking if I would be able to meet up for some extra practice time... And if she was willing to work it then so was I." She smiled at him. "How was your day?"

 

[Lustful_Intentions]

Her laugh was, as usual, intoxicating to him. Jack leaned against his desk, lifting up the plastic as Kali complimented the choices he'd made. Carefully setting it aside with a crinkle, trying not to rouse any more dust than necessary, he smiled across the room to her, thinking about how useful the one way mirror would be once installed.

"Well, I appreciate your dedication, especially knowing that I'm paying you a flat rate for the work you are doing." Tossing the plastic on his desk chair aside, he slid into it, flipping on the Mac on the desk. He could check email and stay up on things at home, but the security feeds for the club were on a closed circuit, and pulling them required Jack to be there to grab them and put them on a drive.

"Day was good-I also just wanted to grab the security feeds from over the weekend, make sure there hasn't been too much trouble around the outside of the club. You know, people poking around, casing the place. I don't need that crap before we even open."

He sighed, realizing he was delving too much into work related stuff right now.

"Sorry-you know how I get-all business focused. It was good-I relaxed a bit, slept in after you left, got a good run in. Was just trying to figure out dinner, etc. What about you? What's the plan for the rest of the night?" He was trying to be casual, but as Kali stood across the room from him, he could feel himself craving her again.

 

[Kaligurl222]

She smiled and nodded her head, "haha yeah I'm the same way, get me started talking about dance and it's like I start speaking a different language and I can't turn it off." She smiled, "and I don't mind the extra work, keeps me on my toes and I'm in a city I don't know anyway so I would just be cooped up in my hotel room anyway." When he mentioned the rest of the evening she had to stop and think about it. She laughed, "I hadn't actually thought that far ahead yet. Probably just got back to the hotel and curl up and watch tv." She shrugged. She caught her mind drifting back to Jack and Jacks bed... She forced the thought away and walked over to stand behind his chair, leaning over his shoulder to look at the computer screen and security feeds he was looking at. "Any suspicious characters yet?"

 

[Lustful_Intentions]

Jack smirked at her suggestion that she spoke a different language about dance. If that was the case, he'd not caught it yet. She was very articulate and down to earth about it. Then again, he'd not engaged her in the truly technical nature of her work, only marveled at her commitment to it.

Reaching into a drawer to his right, he pulled out a thumb drive. Feeling her close to him, he forced himself to focus on the screen, watching the feeds as they moved at 4x speed across his screen. As he suspected, there hadn't been much activity for the first stretch of the tapes, save for a stray rat or raccoon near the dumpsters.

He shook his head in response to her question. "No, nothing yet, just as I figured. It's almost a waste of time to watch these. Makes being cooped up in your hotel room sound much more fun, doesn't it?" Jack smiled as he turned to her and said this.

 

[Kaligurl222]

She laughed and shrugged her shoulders, "yeah I suppose you're right.... There are plenty worse things I could be stuck doing besides watching movies laying in a hotel room bed." She smiled at him as she stood up up straight, realizing how close she had been to him.

 

[Lustful_Intentions]

Jack turned a bit in his chair as he felt Kali inch away from him. Smirking at her, he bit his lower lip, considering for a moment the things she could be doing that would be 'worse'. Figuring that, after the previous evening, he had nothing to lose, he decided to pose the question to her directly.

Mischief lurking in his eyes, his feet landing flat on the floor as he pushed back from the heavy oak desk. He could smell the faintest mixture of her body wash and sweat coming from her-just the righ mix to intoxicate him, and think of the moment when their sweat mixed the night before.

"So, Kali, tell me-what would be worse than laying alone in your bed, watching movies? Better yet, what would be an improvement?"

 

[Kaligurl222]

He surprised her by standing up in front of her and asking the question. She wasn't sure how she was supposed to respond.. She smiled, "well, the whole laying in bed watching movies isn't the problem....." She hesitated a minute, "it's the alone part that could be improved." She smiled again.

 

[Lustful_Intentions]

Jack bowed his head, suppressing a smirk. The statement felt like a thinly veiled invitation. Still, he couldn't be presumptive about it, at least, not so overtly. He rubbed his right hand over his chin, considering her statement.

Slowly reaching out, he traced his thumb along her lower lip, smiling and raising his eyes to meet hers. "Well, there's no reason for you to be alone, that's for sure. I'd be happy to swing by and keep you company. I presume you'd like to shower up, get something clean on? I don't want to impose."

He smiled, drawing his thumb back, worried that the move had been too forward, but hoped the thoughtful way he'd posed his suggestion would open the door for him.

 

[Kaligurl222]

She couldn't help but to smile at the way he suggested stopping by. His thumb lightly tracing her bottom lip. "That would be really nice...." She licked her lip suggestively following his thumb. "I defiantly need to shower and clean myself up..." She laughed when he mentioned not wanting to impose. "I would love your company.... You wouldn't be imposing at all."

She had done the smart safe thing all her life, she needed to take more risks... And right now she wanted the man in front of her... She hadn't been able to get him off her mind since she had climbed out of his bed earlier that day.

 

[Lustful_Intentions]

Jack watched as Kali traced her lip with her tongue, smiling at the image it burned into his mind. Slowly withdrawing his hand, he nodded in response to her offer, quite pleased that she'd extended the invitation.

Turning back to the desk, he popped the thumb drive out of the USB port, and slipped it into the pocket of his jeans. He would catch up on the feeds later-there wasn't likely to be anything worth being concerned about on the recordings.

Involuntarily letting out a sigh, he put the desktop back to sleep, and turned to Kali. "Okay, great." He smiled. "I'll see you in, say, an hour and a half? And, I promise, we won't watch club security tapes. Text me if I can bring anything."

With that, he held out his arm, leading Kali out of the office, down the metal staircase, and out into the parking lot. Watching as she got into her rental, he raised his right hand and waved, pleased that he'd be seeing her again soon, and wondering what she had planned for the evening.

 

[Kaligurl222]

She smiled and nodded her head, "that sounds great to me. Plenty of time for me to put myself together again." She watched as he put the computer away and they headed outside. She laughed at his comment about watching club security footage. She climbed into the car and headed back to the hotel.

She showered and slipped on a pair of short shorts and a tshirt. She straightened up her little room and as she did so she couldn't help but to think about their time together. She heard the knock on her door and she smiled as she opened the door for him, "welcome to my home away from home."

 

[Lustful_Intentions]

Clad in a pair of well worn jeans and a fitted black sweater, Jack stepped over the threshold into her hotel room. As he'd expected, the room was tidy, if a bit on the small side. Certainly, it was hard to imagine Kali, with her love of the warm air and more open spaces out West, being entirely comfortable here.

Holding out the bottle of red he'd brought over, he offered it to her with a wry smile. "It's not exactly a housewarming gift, but on case we wanted to relax a bit."

Slipping off his shoes, he smirked at her. "I think, if it turns out that you end up staying here any longer than the next week or so, I should help you find some more generous accommodations. This feels a bit tight." As he said this, he took note of Kali's casual dress, noting the shorts she wore were a bit tight as well.

 

[Kaligurl222]

She smiled and accepted the wine. "That was sweet. Thank you." She laughed when he commented on finding her a new room. "Yeah, it's small and not my typical style... But when I'm staying somewhere for three weeks at a time I feel a little guilty forcing them to spring for a better room." She set the wine on the little two person table. "Now you see why I don't mind spending so much time at the club" she winks. "We'll make yourself at home."

 

[Lustful_Intentions]

Kicking his shoes to the side, Jack smiled at her comment about her 'style'.

"Well, Kali, I have to be honest, I've been contemplating asking you to stick around a bit longer, just to make sure we get off the ground okay. I worry that we've got a lot of work to do, and I want to be sure that the things you are teaching the girls stick. We don't need to discuss that tonight, though." He said, quick to not try to dive into a serious work discussion while in her hotel room. Jack was mindful of the fact that he wanted to be sure that any decisions Kali made about staying were because she wanted to do the job, not because of what might be blossoming between them.

Reaching past her, Jack picked the bottle up off the small table. "Well, I'm glad you make as much time for the club as you do-you're making a real difference."

Motioning bottle, he offered "Shall we? I apologize, I don't know that I came dressed to truly lay in bed and watch a movie, but we can sit wherever you like. Heck, I'll sit at the table if you want to take the bed." He was trying hard not to overstep, even if he was eager to curl up with her.

 

[Kaligurl222]

Kali smiled, she hadn't really thought further ahead... What her plans were going to be when her contract with Jack came to an end. She nodded her head and smiled, "well we can discuss business during business hours.... Right now, I'm going to enjoy a glass of wine and relax." She laughed when he said he would sit in the chair, "Jack, sit wherever you want... I'm not going to bite.... Unless you want me to that is." She teased, winking at him as she handed the bottle to him and she sat back on the bed.

 

[Lustful_Intentions]

Taking the bottle from Kali, he went to work at digging a corkscrew into the top, popping the bottle open with ease. With a heavy hand, he poured a full glass for Kali, far more than she'd get at a restaurant in the area for a single pour.

Smiling, he handed it to her, commenting "here's to only talking about work at work, Kali."

Pouring a similar glass for himself, Jack exhausted more than half of the bottle. Positioning himself to kneel on the edge of the bed, he smirked at her comment. "Well, we will see about the biting, but I'm happy to be a little closer, for sure."

His eyes were warm as he set his glass down after a long sip, his torso stretching out over the bed, back coming to rest on the pillows propped on the large wooden headboard. "Still," he remarked, "I must say that I feel overdressed."

 

[Kaligurl222]

She smiled as she sipped her wine and watched him recline back in the bed. "well by all means, get comfortable." I stretch out my legs across the bed." She sipped her wine again. "Well I am glad you came over to keep me company... I hope it's not too much torture for you." She winked at him.

 

[Lustful_Intentions]

Reaching for his wine, Jack smirked at her, "Biting, torture? Kali, it sounds like your mind is in a dark place tonight."

Letting one if his legs brush against hers, he turned and smiled. "Though, I get the feline we aren't recall here to watch movies, are we? He bit his lip, wondering if he was overstepping with this statement. Leaning slightly, he whispered, "I'll confess something- I've been thinking about you since you left this morning."

 

[Kaligurl222]

She laughed and shrugged her shoulders, "hey, I had every intention of watching movies tonight..." She smiled as she sipped from her wine, "but as long as we are confessing.... It was awful hard to concentrate on dance moves when you kept popping into my head today."

 

[Lustful_Intentions]

Jack took another long sip, smirking over the rim of his glass. There was that sparkle in Kali's eye again-the one she'd given the last time before they fell naked, into his couch.

"See, I'd think that you could come up with dance routines in your sleep. You're that good, aren't you?" His tone was teasing, but he didn't expect a response. His opposite hand reached down between them, stroking her leg just above her bared knee.

"So, we were both thinking of each other then? I'm wondering what, exactly you were thinking about."

 

[Kaligurl222]

She smiled, "oh I'm defiantly that good!" She winked at him. She felt his hand running along her thigh causing her to get chills. She bit her lower lip, "well I believe that's for me to know.... I mean, probably not appropriate thoughts to be having about my employer..." She winked. She sat her wine glass on the nightstand next to the bed...

 

[Lustful_Intentions]

Jack laughed just a little at her bravado, a sparkle dancing across her eyes as she gave the wink. Giving the wine glass in his right hand a little swirl, causing the wine to coat the sides of the glass.

He considered her statement, the remark about him being her employer. It was a fair one, he thought, as he took a draw on his wine before setting the glass on the opposite nightstand. Letting his left hand find the bottom of her tight shorts, het let two fingers slide under the fabric, seeking further up her smooth, toned skin.

"Well, technically, you're a partner, selling a service. You don't actually work 'for' me," Jack offered, clearly playing semantics. He paid Kali, creating an awkward situation. A situation which, frankly, while awkward as it was, he wasn't concerned with at this moment.

"Besides," he said, leaning to her, "It's not as though I'm having pure thoughts myself." He smile, his lips inches from hers, feeling himself eager to taste her again.

 

[Kaligurl222]

"Hmm you make a valid argument...." She felt his fingers at the edge of her shorts... It was making it difficult to concentrate. "Well so long as youre minds right there with mine....." She leaned in the rest of the way, her lips touching his in a soft kiss. "And THAT is just the start of what I was thinking about all day!" She smiled as she leaned in and kissed him again, with a little more heat behind it this time.

 

[Lustful_Intentions]

Jack leaned into the kiss, enjoying the hint of familiarity behind it this time. The was, indeed, still a newness to it, but knowing that it was coming at the beginning of the evening rather than the end gave him a lift.

His hand moved softly to her cheek as she deepened the kiss, their lips parting, tongues gently dancing against once another. Jack shifted his body slightly, sliding onto his side, his other hand still pushing under the tight hem of her shorts, gently squeezing her leg.

Breaking the kiss, Jack tilted her chin up to face him, smirking. "Just the start, you say? Please, Kali, tell me what else you were thinking about today."
