Alyssa Garde is a very sexy, very wealthy fashion designer who in her own way was not one to be taken lightly, especially if you crossed her the wrong way. All the guys she works with are gay and she rarely has the time to hit the high life bars in New York City, so relationships are not her top priority. Living alone on the 59th floor in a high scale Hotel in Downtown Manhattan, she is not a stranger to pleasuring herself with her assortment of "toys". Albeit here recently, she has been needing something more to add to her life, but considering her hectic job, a lover was almost out of the question. If everything else in her life weren't weird enough, it seemed like someone had taken an interest in her. It was none other than the Hotel's owner, Adrian. She rarely sees him, so the fact that he's riding the elevator with her now is what makes her feel uncomfortable and yet calm while in his presence.

One afternoon she was able to finish up the final touches for this weekend's runway show, so she decided to head home for some R&R before she was to go out for the night with some of her girlfriends from work. And just like clockwork, as soon as she entered the elevator and pressed the 59th floor button, Adrian appeared and pressed the Penthouse button. This was about the third time that he had showed up out of nowhere to just ride the lift with her. After about 20 floors or so, various people getting in and out, Alyssa was startled by the break in the silence.

"Looks like you live one floor below me Miss and I thought it was time I introduce myself. My name is Adrian and I live in the penthouse above you."

She swallowed hard because she didn't even know he had a voice, and a very sultry one at that. She replied calmly after she had composed herself, "Why yes, I live on 59." She hadn't noticed until he spoke just now how dashing he looks. She never thought herself as one to like the entrepreneur-type, considering her past relationships have been nothing more than wealthy stuck-up snobs who considered her below them because of her trade. But there was something about this man that intrigued her.

"So, you are the owner of this place? That's stupid of me to say, considering you live in the Penthouse." She could feel her face turning red from the blush brought on by her nervousness. She was called 'The Demon in Heels of Fashion' but she has a submissive side that none of her past lovers have ever gotten to see. As the floor numbers lit up one by one, it seemed like she didn't want this conversation to end. Then, the elevator door opened and the automated voice said, "Floor 59, Corridor."

Adrian noticed she was trying to swallow before she replied. "Why yes, I live on 59."

Adrian had a hard time controlling himself for taking her in his arms ravishing her, but one thing Adrian had to his credit was the ability appear natural. He studied her like she was studying him; at least it appeared that she was.

"So, you are the owner of this place? That's stupid of me to say, considering you live in the Penthouse." She told him bushing and he could see she was a bit nervous and wondered why.

“On the contrary I don’t think it is a stupid question at all. You had no idea I was living in the hotel” he told her wandering why she never told him what her name was, though he already knew it was Alyssa Garde.

“Miss Garde I don’t mean to be pretentious, I been wanting to ask if you would join me for dinner here in the hotel whenever you are free.”

“On the contrary I don’t think it is a stupid question at all. You had no idea I was living in the hotel”

She had been studying him because she was unsure where this would be heading and if it went further towards a relationship, she didn't want to be hurt in the end. "Oh, where are my manners, I'm Alyssa Garde. Perhaps you've heard of my fashion line, "Le'Garde". It sorta makes it possible for me to live here in your wonderful establishment." He seemed completely normal enough and incredibly sexy as well, but she was a sucker for the dark haired types.

When he asked for her to join him for dinner, all nervousness was set aside. She didn't want to be a complete hard-to-get, but it couldn't hurt to have dinner with the man. "Sure, how about tomorrow evening at about 6 o'clock sound good?" She couldn't very well cancel on her girlfriends, but she damned well near almost wanted to. She couldn't quite explain it, but she had taken a liking to this man's demeanor. Before she got off the elevator she turned back and gave him flashed her emerald green eyes at him. This could be a very promising encounter.

 

[Ran_dy]

Adrian made sure he knew all about her before he approached her, and that most of the male working for her were all gay. She also didn’t date much, and that was something of a puzzle to him being such a stunning looking woman, then when she realized she said.

"Oh, where are my manners, I'm Alyssa Garde. Perhaps you've heard of my fashion line, "Le'Garde". It sorta makes it possible for me to live here in your wonderful establishment."

“I for one am very pleased and thank you that you choose this hotel to live Alyssa, and yes I’ve heard of the “Le”Garde” fashion” who hasn't he said smiling at her, then the elevator voice announced the 59 floor.

"Sure, how about tomorrow evening at about 6 o'clock sound good?" she told him while Adrian held the elevator door from closing. “Yes it sounds very good” he replied with a smile, and I am looking forward to it Alyssa. She turned and looks at him with her flashing green eyes before she steps out of the elevator. He bowed slightly saying “tomorrow night then.”

(OOC: I am going to be away today for a few hours, so this is my only post until this evening.)

The whole time she was with her co-workers at the club, she couldn't help her mind drifting from time to time, thinking of nothing but her dinner with Adrian the following night and how it would turn out. The time seemed to pass by quickly, because before she knew it, it was 15 minutes 'til 6 when she heard a knock at the door. She wasn't even in her blue silk evening gown yet. She didn't want to rush and maybe rip the dress, so she grabbed her black kimono robe to wrap around her slender petite body, then opened the door.

To no surprise, it was Adrian standing there very dapper in his suit without tie. "I wasn't expecting you until 6, Adrian. I'm not even completely dressed." She held open the door and invited him in.

"Come in and make yourself at home. Anywhere is fine," she said as she rushed to the coffee table to close her Mythological Creatures book. "Sorry about this, I dabbled a bit in the Mythical Arts at NYU before I decided to become a...well, fashion designer." She laughed a bit before she returned to her bedroom to continue getting ready.

 

[Ran_dy]

Adrian spent most of his time thinking about Alyssa while trying to keep his mind on business, and he was having a hard time concentrating on business. “This is crazy he told himself wondering why he was so taken with her.

Yes in his eyes she is gorgeous, but then there are plenty beautiful women in New York, or maybe it was because she was petite compared to the women he often took out on dates. Whatever his fixation was with her, he couldn’t stop thinking of her not even for a minute.

Time seemed to move to slow for him, but the next minute he was standing outside her. He knew he was a little early, but he couldn’t wait any longer and knocked on her door.

"I wasn't expecting you until 6, Adrian. I'm not even completely dressed." She said to him as she opens the door. Adrian was looking at her still in a kimono and wonders what she wore underneath.

"Sorry Alyssa I didn’t mean to rush you or anything, it’s just a habit of mine being early."

Adrian walks in after she invited him in. "Come in and make yourself at home. Anywhere is fine, she said while she rushed to close a book on a coffee table, and he began to wonder what she was looking at that she wanted to hide from him. He got his answer a moment later when she told him.

"Sorry about this, I dabbled a bit in the Mythical Arts at NYU before I decided to become a...well, fashion designer." Adrian's eyes fallow her walking towards a bedroom, presumably to finish dressing. Although he thought she was looking great in just her kimono. He could see the shape of her firm breasts, and her round firm ass as she walks away.

 

[IntriguedLover]

Considering she was only in her black lace duo-set bra and panties underneath the kimono, she was definitely going to need a few minutes to finish getting ready. She looped her hair up into a simple loose bun and adorned herself with silver earrings and necklace. The only things left were the sapphire blue dress and black pumps. As she continued getting ready, she could hear him looking around the living room, as the floor creaked slightly in certain spots.

"I'll be out in 5 minutes no problem," Alyssa said out loud.

After she finished getting ready, she proceeded out into the living area to see him turning to see her. He seemed stunned to say the least. She at least hoped that she were dressed right for where they were going, wherever they were going.

"By chance, where are we going for our dinner plans this evening, Adrian?"

 

[Ran_dy]

Adrian took advantage while waiting to look around the room, he thought she had a good taste in the by the painting hanging on the wall, and compliment the modern furniture of the room. Of course like she said she was rich enough and she could afford them.

Smile and said, “No problems take your time” when he heard her shout. “I’ll be out in 5 minute no problem.”
Adrian didn’t know what to expect, but he loved the sapphire blue dress she wore. He wouldn’t be surprise if the dress was not made for her, and showed the beauty of her body underneath.

“I think I might have to bring a baseball bat with me tonight. You do look stunning Alyssa,” he said looking at her for a long moment. “I made a reservation at “Daniel” he added.

 

[IntriguedLover]

Alyssa blushed at the compliment she received from him. When he said "Daniel", her eyes lit up brighter than they were before. "Doesn't it take weeks to get on the reservation list for that place?" She walked around the coffee table to turn off the light in the corner and to push the button to close the blinds before they left.

"I've had a problem with peeping toms that use long-range video cameras, especially at night when I'm in private." She winked as she said this. "Trust me, I have a wild side. I'm not all innocent, as my blushing complexion shows. But I also have a timid side too." For some reason she couldn't explain, she was becoming more comfortable with telling him certain details.

She walked over to meet Adrian by the door and placed her arm around his arm, "Shall we?" When they got downstairs and headed outside, it was already dark. She looked up at him, even with pumps on, there was still a height difference. His eyes were glowing more outside than they were in the light of the hotel. It seemed odd, but she didn't think anything of it.

 

[Ran_dy]

Adrian smiled as she blushed, but did recuperated quite quickly. Adrian and was pleased that she knew of Daniel restaurant, and made a remarked about the reservation.

"Doesn't it take weeks to get on the reservation list for that place?"

I see you’re familiar with Daniel restaurant, and yes they do have a week reservation policy, but if you know Daniel you can get a reservation for the next evening,” he winked at her smiling, as she walks over to the coffee table and turns the lamp of, than she explained why.

"I've had a problem with peeping toms that use long-range video cameras, especially at night when I'm in private." Adrian smiled when she winked, than she told him.

"Trust me, I have a wild side. I'm not all innocent, as my blushing complexion shows. But I also have a timid side too." That comment kind surprised him, but it was good to know just the same. He thought.

Adrian was aware some of the guests had similar problem in most of the building, and made a mental note to keep his eyes open, and then see that whoever this peeping tom was it would be the last.

“Yes I can see why you want to turn the lights off; this seems to be a problem with most building. I think if I would feel the same being in your shoes.”

Alyssa walks over to him and placed her arm under his saying, “Shall we?

Adrian limo was already in the front waiting by the passenger door. He opens the back door as he greeted Adrian. “Good evening boss”. “Good even Ben, a nice even for a drive.” “It sure if boss he plied after closing the door once Adrian was seated.

“Would you like a drink in the meantime Alyssa?” or would you rather wait till we get there?”

 

[IntriguedLover]

"Sure, I'll have one now," she replied as she admired the inside of his limousine. Even though her job was high-end, she only has taken rides in limos when there has been a fashion show where it was a must to show up "in-style". In the light of the limo, Adrian's eyes didn't seem to be glowing as much as they were outside. "Maybe it's some kind of contacts," she thought.

After a drink for her and himself and she said thank you, she asked, "Well, it seems I've told you almost all about me and I barely know anything about you."

The limo seemed to be slowing, so she knew they were almost to the restaurant. "To tell the truth, I've never been to "Daniel" before, so I have no idea what is on the menu," she said as she laughed a little.

 

[Ran_dy]

Adrian pushed a button and the little bar opens in the back of the seat in front of them as she said.

"Sure, I'll have one now," Adrian pours some Scotch in two glasses with some ice, and hands her one then took the other. Here is to you Alyssa and a great evening of fun.”

Adrian didn’t fail to notice Alyssa looking into his eyes for the second time, once in her apartment and now in the limo. He smiled slightly and wondered if she would say anything about it.

"Well, it seems I've told you almost all about me and I barely know anything about you."

“He smiled and looked at her for a moment before he spoke. What can I tell you, as far as I know I’m an only child, and I never knew my father, and I was raised by my mother and my grandfather, and if you noticed my eyes my mother told me they’re my father’s eyes. One day I might tell you more if you and I click the way we seemed to do at the moment.”

Adrian had a feeling Alyssa never been to Daniel or she wouldn’t have said anything about the reservation. Although she was right about the long wait

"To tell the truth, I've never been to "Daniel" before, so I have no idea what is on the menu,"

I wouldn’t concern myself about the menu. Daniel is European and so is the food and you will love it.

“Were here Alyssa.”

 

[IntriguedLover]

"I totally agree. We won't go into anymore details until that day comes, from me either," she said as she smiled. When the limo came to a stop, he said that they had arrived at their destination. "I haven't had any good European since I was at a week's fashion show in Prague. Just as long as no one shows me snails, then I'll be just fine."

The driver, Ben, opened the door for them both to get out. Her eyes lightened up when they walked into the restaurant, she tried her hardest not to seem like "a kid in the candy store", but being here was surely a shock to her as she never thought she would get into this particular place.

Adrian had reserved a table on the 2nd floor terrace, with the perfect view of Times Square. After they were seated, Alyssa just had to ask, "Where did you get those contacts that change color and brightness in the outdoors? I've been looking for some for some of my girls that walk the runway."

The waiter brought over two champagne glasses and a bottle of Chateau Blanc, the most expensive bottle in New York City. "This is such a perfect night, Adrian. And to think, our evening is just getting started." She opened the menu, "What do you recommend?"

 

[Ran_dy]

"I totally agree. We won't go into any more details until that day comes, from me either,"

Adrian looked at her and smiled, I’m really glad that we’re both on the same page Alyssa. He said smiling.

"I haven't had any good European since I was at a week's fashion show in Prague. Just as long as no one shows me snails, then I'll be just fine."

OH! That’s what I was going to have as appetizer. Adrian laughed then said I just teasing Alyssa, it was too good to pass up forgive me”, he said still smiling.

Ben had the door open and they got out of the car. Adrian kept his eyes on Alyssa the whole time as they walked inside Daniel. Adrian couldn’t stop smiling watch Alyssa at that moment she looked like a kid, and he had to hold himself to keep from hugging her.

"Where did you get those contacts that change color and brightness in the outdoors? I've been looking for some for some of my girls that walk the runway."

Adrian knew this question was going to come up and smiled. “Contacts? You really think I’m wearing contacts. Sorry to disappoint you Alyssa, but these are my eyes. My mother told me when I asked about my eyes, and she told me that my father had golden eyes. I’ll let you look at them close up when we get back if you don’t believe me.”

The waiter came at that moment and he had a champagne bottle and two glasses. Adrian watched her while she read the menu.

"This is such a perfect night, Adrian. And to think, our evening is just getting started." She opened the menu, "What do you recommend?"

“The only thing I am recommending is for you to think what you want. Beef, chicken, lamb, pork and son. You will not go wrong. I will have the lamb. You order something else then we’ll share. Said smiling at her.

 

[IntriguedLover]

As he told her that she should choose what she wanted on the menu along with a variety of choices and his own choice, she could feel her mouth watering. She hadn't eaten anything since earlier that morning and even that was a small portion of a muffin with her Earl Grey tea. "Oh, I believe you," she said when he explained the story about his golden eyes. "They just seemed too mesmerizing to be real. I'm sorry if I offended you." She blushed as she thought of being up close to him and not just sitting at arms length in the limo or at a table.

"Oh, the Chicken Cordon Bleu sure sounds good," she said just as the waiter reappeared. Adrian ordered for them both then they were alone again while they waited for their meal to be delivered. She took another few sips of the champagne as she looked out at the full moon overlooking the downtown skyline.

"I have always loved the city lights ever since I was a child from upstate, when my parents and I would visit the city, as they were both lawyers and had to travel to NYC for various court proceedings. We always ate at Le'River Sea Cuisine on 58th Avenue, it had a beautiful view of the skyline." She quickly covered her mouth after she said all that blushing, because they had already agreed to not share personal history. But by the look on his face, it seemed he didn't have a care in the world that she was just blabbering about.

There was a time after she spoke, that it seemed time stood still as they looked into each others eyes, until the wait staff arrived with their meal interrupting them.

 

[Ran_dy]

"Oh, I believe you," she said and he smiled at her. “

“Don’t think about Alyssa you’re not the only one that asked me that, I couldn’t even count how many peoples have asked me the same thing.”

"They just seemed too mesmerizing to be real. I'm sorry if I offended you."

Offended? Not at all Alyssa, it would a hell of allot to offend me, least of all you.

"Oh, the Chicken Cordon Blue sure sounds good," she said. “
There you go, now you’ll have a taste both yours and mine, and the next time you’ll know two dishes.”

"I have always loved the city lights ever since I was a child from upstate, when my parents and I would visit the city, as they were both lawyers and had to travel to NYC for various court proceedings. We always ate at Le'River Sea Cuisine on 58th Avenue; it had a beautiful view of the skyline."

“Not need to cover your mouth Alyssa; you’re covering your beautiful lips.” Sorry Alyssa it just slipped, he said smiling at her.

Adrian locked eye with hers but didn’t dare put a suggestion into her mind, he wanted her to come to him on her own.
“I hope you’re enjoying this as much as I am Alyssa.”

 

[IntriguedLover]

She smiled as he complimented her looks, "No problem. It seems we're both nervous here in each others company." She could tell in his smile that there was something on his mind.

Alyssa dared to ask and was afraid it would be too far of a comment, "After our evening nears its end, would you like to have coffee at my place before you go up to your penthouse?" They enjoyed sharing their meals, the lamb was divine, just as he had said. The atmosphere seemed to have a hypnotic feel to her, or it was the champagne, she couldn't tell which.

"I am having a splendid time, Adrian." She could feel a special connection with him as they sat here on the terrace of restaurant Daniel. After they finished their meal, they returned to the limo for the ride back to the hotel. She felt a bit tipsy from the champagne, but hardly showed it, she thought.

 

[Ran_dy]

"No problem. It seems we're both nervous here in each other’s company."

“No I wouldn’t say that Alyssa, I watched you coming and going for a while before I actually took the elevator with you. It’s not a nice thing to do for the owner of the building to stalk one of his tenants, and now I feel a little guilty about it, that’s all really.” He told her.

Adrian could see that Alyssa was thinking, but he waited to hear what it was.

"After our evening nears its end, would you like to have coffee at my place before you go up to your penthouse?"

Thant you Alyssa, it would be my pleasure having coffee with you in your apartment. This is really an unexpected invitation Alyssa.

Adrian never thought she would invite him up to her place, at least not on their first dinner date.

"I am having a splendid time, Adrian."

“I am very glad you are Alyssa, and so am I.” He replied back and as he looked at her he wonder if by chance she had a little too much champagne.

Ben was there waiting and opened the door, and Adrian help her into the limo and he got in right after her sitting right next to her.
