Heavenly Goodness
Why do I still feel like I'm the star of the night?
All eyes remain on me, following me closely. I hang on to Aziel's arm for about an hour, until I feel like letting myself go on the dance floor. But those stiff rakes here only dance to the one tile old fashion songs that no one has ever heard.
Time to get some serious exercise and sweat on the dance floor.
I smile sweetly at Aziel, but he immediately recognizes the naughty spark in my eyes. With furrowed eyebrows, he watches me as I walk towards the DJ and whisper in his ear. The man immediately beams, it seems as if he was waiting for this sign the whole night.
With a nod to Aziel, I wait on the dance floor until I hear the first notes of Jean Paul and Blue Cantrell, and I let my body determine its own rhythm. In no time everyone is here, women are screaming the lyrics along with Blue in ecstasy. When the DJ also activates the video on a widescreen, the hall goes crazy. Everyone is now shaking and twining to the rap.
Whoever thought that Chinese businessmen were cold and stiff can come here and see their true nature and it's fun. We continue like this on some Jean Paul's solos, until we are cooled down with an old slider from the topper Mario.
That is when I feel pleasant arms around me, my head is tenderly pressed against a soft chest. His perfume is expensive, flatters my senses and without looking up at him I move to the rhythm of the song. 'Baby let me love you now'. Hmmmm, that's all I want, so I snuggle closer into this warm, promising chest of a strong man. I keep my eyes closed, I let him take me to a romantic island where he and I are the only ones on a beach and the wind blows wonderfully around our bodies that are glued together.
He strokes my hair lovingly, presses a kiss to my crown and a hand goes to my neck. This feels so good, I'd like to stay here forever. But eventually, the two blended ballads come to an end, a forced return to the present. He gently pushes my head back and as I slowly open my eyes, I look up at that blonde from the club a few weeks ago.
I stare at him in surprise as he grins at me. "That was fantastic, Cinderella. I could keep you like this forever but your partner's eyes are terrifying," he whispers and kisses my forehead. Well, he's not that scared if he dares to kiss me!
I take his hand and without breaking our eye contact I walk with him to Aziel. "Aziel, that is Mr. Unknown whom I met a few weeks ago in a club close to home", I introduce the men to each other. The men exchange a polite nod. "What are you doing so far from home?", Aziel asks him. " On holiday? We are here on a business trip".
The blonde smiles irresistibly. "Let me introduce myself first. Asher Rocambeau, I'm in the food processing industry and also trying to get a foothold in China. But that isn’t really easy, the Chinese are serious businessmen."
Aziel and I nod vigorously, we've had two fruitless days of negotiations, so we know all about it. We chat further, occasionally taking a look at the dance floor where the trend of rap music continues. At a certain moment, a stunning woman comes from the dance floor straight to Aziel and while swinging her hips she gently pulls him along. Gentleman as he is, he quickly puts his glass on the bar and rocks the dance floor with her.
Aziel, really! Splash through my head.
And I thought he had no spunk, was just a stiff bar type. Well, well, your friends can really surprise you, yeah. I’m watching him with a chuckle, his partner won't let him go. "Well, Loraine, how long are you going to stay in China? I'm leaving tomorrow morning. I was here for three days, did some orientation in a factory in Shandong. That was amazing," he starts the conversation again.
I nod with interest. "Have you received orders?". He looks disappointed. "Not yet. My contacts want to set up a kind of franchise, offering their delicious dishes in an exquisite restaurant while my factories produce the ingredients. We have to work things out further as a number of products have to be imported from China and that's the trick", explains he out.
We discuss business for a few more minutes until he checks his watch. "I hate to do this, but I have to leave now. I'm already lucky I had a gorgeous lady in my arms tonight, so my dreams will be amazing," he compliments me. "See you in New York. My number is on the card." With a kiss on my forehead and a wink and he leaves.
When he’s out of sight, I turn to the dance floor to see Aziel still frantically busy. I then walk towards the toilets, do my business there, but when I want to return I am gently pulled along by one arm. Overwhelmed, I stare at a broad back, until around the corner I am embraced by two arms.
And I recognize this scent in thousands.
Dordrich!!
"What are you doing here?", I ask breathlessly without looking up at his face. He smiles softly.
"Good evening beautiful Loraine. Had a wild night, huh?! It cost me a bomb to get your partner away from you." I press against him, the electric spark through my spine is there again. I now rub my body against him, opening the first buttons of his shirt impatiently to get my mouth against his skin. Like an addict I inhale his body fragrance blend cologne, I can hold him like this for ages, our bodies fit together perfectly.
It's not the same feeling I had in Asher's arms a few minutes ago, no, that was more of a good, trustworthy friend. What I feel now is an urgent lust for Dordrich, I want to possess him, make him forget everything but me. A feeling I've never experienced before. And what's worse, his marital status isn't going to stop me from exploring this feeling at least once, I'm not going to deprive myself of a few hours of allured goodness. I want that taste of heaven!..
