Marc POV

One week later

"You look beautiful Mrs. Hernandez."

"Grazas. Ah meu fermoso príncipe, thank you my handsome prince, but you still can't get any."

"I know." I poked out my lip watching her put her ballgown on.

We were getting ready to attend the opening of the New Orleans Symphony Gala. It wasn't as big as the New York Met Gala, but the Who's Who of the big N.O. and the elite from around the state would be there.

"Ready to go? Tammy and Gray are on their way. The limo should be here in ten minutes." I was looking at my watch.

"I can't find my black heels."

"Mel you have a whole wall of black shoes."

"I'm looking for my Chanel black suede gold sequin heels. They match the purse."

"Your dress is long, does it matter?"

"Duh...yes sir. I've lost this weight and now I'm ready to step out into the night."

I got up and stood by the door.

"Found them. Now I need you to come and wrap the straps around my ankles and calves."

She sat on the bed and raised up her dress. I couldn't help but peek. I knew her legs were soft to the touch and perfectly tanned. I walked over raising her right foot up and the dress raised up even more giving me another perfect view of her spot. She was wearing a black garter connected to a black lacy thong and stockings. I licked my lips and shook off the notion that she was turning me on. She leaned on the backs of her arms and elbows and I cleared my throat.

"Maybe you should do this."

"Come on Marc. Its easier if someone else does it. You've done this plenty of times. I struggle with the crisscrossing and buckle."

"Why can't you just wear a pair of slip-ons? They are easier and don't require this much work."

She huffed. "I want to wear these because I won't trip over the skirting. It gives me another five inches of height which puts me up to your level plus they match the purse."

"If I didn't know any better, I would think you were using your womanly charms on me by raising your dress up." I could feel my engine ready to roar as I could picture her in nothing but the garter, stockings and shoes on. I twitched below. I put the shoe on and then the other but I stopped. All I could think about was having her bent over my face taking a little ride. I could already hear her moans which were like music to my ears.

She must have caught me daydreaming.

"Get your mind out the gutter mister. All you have to do is..." She stopped short when my lips found their way from her ankle up to her calf.

"Ma...rc," her voice and breathing both became onerous as she gripped the duvet between her fingers. She didn't close her legs so she was ready for what I was going to give her.

"You haveto' stoooop, we, oh ah yeah, are going to beez la...tey, I mean," she cleared her throat, "late."

I ran my fingers up her nonpareil skin, trailing right behind my lips not saying a word. I was looking forward to making her become unglued.

"Marc you have...toooooo stoooop before," she swallowed hard. "Be five I mean before," another swallow, "damn," but this time I felt her heel on my hip. "Late."

I still didn't say another word as I could smell her want and need. Her erotic overtones were intoxicating. I worked my way up behind the long designer dress, spreading her legs wide until I came to her throne. Her phone was starting to ring.

"Marc, it's Tammmyyyy." She pulled her dress up more and opened her legs wider.

"Babbbbiiieee we, ah, yesohmelike, stop, we can't, do that again." I was kissing along her pantyline. I pulled the panty strip to the side, breathing right at her entrance.

"Oh baby, we have too...ohlawdhavemercyjesushelpmenow," she called out as my lips invaded her below.

"Don't stop please don't you stop." I continued my attack branding this insatiable passion I had for her. I couldn't see her eyes but the way her thighs and hips were reacting to my touch, she was so into this.

She leaned back where she fell backwards on the bed and her hips and thighs raised up along with the heels of her shoes resting against my shoulders. I pulled her closer to my awaiting mouth and she gave me full access in which I was going to relish in the engagement. I bowed to her hooded lady, stroking her essence that came forth. Mel moaned. I traced the perfect cultured pearl that lay before me. I breathed in her scent as a mountain lion ready to attack.

"Marc, please..."

I didn't know if that was a please stop or go, because my spidey senses were going off telling me, I was ready to devour the queen. I didn't wait. Her body arched off the bed so high as my tongue cherished what was placed before me where I had to bring her body back down. She thrashed and twisted, as I latched on consuming her ambrosia and drinking of her will. A true feast of the gods was set before me and I was partaking in her offering. She was my goddess, my temptress, my poison, but it didn't stop me from conquering her.

She was trying to fight the delectable pleasure racing through her, well at least trying to put up just enough to keep the chase. I held on to her hips and thighs that wrapped around my neck. Her body contorted from left to right and then it rotated around and around. I captured her throbbing queen as she surrendered with one lapse of my tongue and her back catapulted off the bed. Mel cried out the intense pleasure that spread like a wildfire.

"Ohbaaaabbbiiieeee!" She called out as her hands couldn't quite grab the duvet for leverage. Her body twisted and jerked across the bed as I continued to quench my thirst.

"Mar....ohshit!" I felt her quaking thighs and her release coming in waves. Her arms flapped as a tidal wave was crashing against her shores. She said something but I couldn't understand as my attention was focused on my prize. She shivered, not once or twice, but an unabating, relenting jolt of simplistic desire causing her continued release. I was ready to drain her dry but what fun would that be?

I leaned back still entrapped by the gown taking one last view before the hooded queen went back to her throne. She bowed once more before I returned the protective covering. I would be back and next time there would be no mercy. Her tears spilled forth upon the satin that now divided us. I released my hold between her thighs but not before I paid homage to those long temple walls that were her legs.

She was breathing heavily and I could feel the moisture from her legs all the way down to her feet. I removed myself as a gust of cool air hit my face and she stared at me.

"Oh goodness are you okay?" She quickly raised up in a panic. She rubbed my face. Her lips were moving but I couldn't understand what she was saying. I felt faint all of a sudden, which was the first for me. She jumped off the bed and ran in the bathroom coming back with a cup of water and a wet towel.

"Here you need to drink this," she put the cup up to my lips. My lips were rather parched but I could still taste her exotic wine blanketing my throat. She rubbed the towel across my face and the coolness was like a slap against my face. I could see panic across hers.

I stared at her for a moment. She stood back and then I looked in the mirror in horror. My face was red as a beet and my hair was slicked to my head. My eyes widen trying to figure this one out.

"The dress skirting is silk and suede. I had it lined so I wouldn't be so cold. I'm sorry, are you okay? I didn't think you would do that although oh Jesus, it was amazing, I mean I wasn't trying to turn you on. Ah hell, come here." She sat on the bed using the towel to wipe my sweat.

"I guess I got so caught up, I didn't realize you were suffocating me," I said with a chuckle.

She slapped me on the arm. "No one told you to do that. We could have ended up on an episode of 1000 Ways to Die."

"What do you expect? Sexy legs thrown all in my face, all I could do was imagine you with just the garter and pumps on. Man you have no idea what you do to me. I love every inch of you. See I love you from your head to your toes and in no particular order."

"Ah sweet, but you're crazy. You could have passed out under my dress or worse. How would I explain that to the EMT, or worse your mother?"

"At least I would have had a smile on my face." I winked at her and grinned.

"So not funny."

My phone rang. "It's Gray." She tossed the phone to me walking in the bathroom.

I answered.

"Is everything okay?"

"Yes."

"Tammy and I have been waiting in the limo for over twenty minutes for you two. Are ya'll still coming?"

Only if he knew, as I looked down at the front of my pants. "Mel was looking for her shoes and some purse but we will be down in a few minutes. Sorry man you know how that goes."

"Yeah I do."

I hung up and walked in the bathroom cleaning myself up. I switched tuxedos since I had a small stain on my current one.

"Ready my lady?" I held out my arm and she took it. We kissed MJ goodnight and headed downstairs.

We arrived at the Symphony. The red carpet was laid out, photographers from various newspapers and local magazines along with bloggers were highlighting the patrons. Gray and Tammy got out first strutting their stuff. We followed closed behind as we weren't as known as a professional athlete. We were escorted in as lavations poured and hors d'oeuvres were served.

Prominent people from around the state were there. Congressmen, nationally acclaimed musicians and other celebrities. Ian and Mona were talking to Lee Daniels, a very successful filmmaker. Jacob and Cadence were looking bored as they were listening to the Lieutenant Governor telling stale jokes. Sasha and Chase Denson were looking to be headed towards their in-laws Dr. Tasha and Alan Roberts.

I was headed towards the Denson's and Robert's clan until we were stopped.

"Melanie glad you could come, and thanks for your corporate sponsorship," some busty, too much makeup wearing decrepit old woman said.

"Mrs. Banks you know I would not have missed this. I mean you did call me everyday leading up to this event for the past three weeks. I'm sure the money will go to good use. I wanted to make sure I didn't end up on your bad list." Mel smiled at the lady and she turned her attention to me.

"This must be the hubby. You didn't tell me how handsome he is." She began to fan herself. Melanie chuckled.

"I am Mrs. Joselyn Banks. I was Melanie's music teacher when she was in third grade and now the chairwoman of the Symphony Gala committee." She held out her hand.

I wanted to call the crypt keeper and tell him his wife was missing but that would have been rude. "Nice to meet you. I'm Marc Hernandez." I shook her hand but evidentially she wanted me to kiss it, but I simply dropped it. She looked disappointed but I pulled Melanie to me giving her the vibe that I was completely taken.

She continued to grin showing white perfect teeth and I was sure they weren't real. Some women needed to look in the mirror, I'm sure it could be a wake up call. Melanie must have known I was thinking something badly so she patted me on the small of my back.

"If you would excuse me, Melanie and I have friends that are expecting us." I bowed my head and pulled Melanie with me. Before I walked off, I felt someone pinch my butt cheek. I turned around and Mrs. Banks winked and blew a kiss.

"She pinched me on the butt, winked and blew me a kiss. How dare she? I feel totally violated in the worse way."

Mel started to laugh. "I was welcoming the competition."

"She wouldn't even make it to the starting line."

"Mrs. Banks is sweet. Maybe a little old..."

"How about she came before Adam and Eve?"

"Marc! That's not nice."

"She pinched my butt Mel. She touched me and I feel like I need a shower."

"She was just playing. She's still feisty, that's good at her age."

"If she keeps walking in those high heels it looks like she will break a hip."

"This coming from a man who almost suffocated under a dress."

"I recuperated, she wouldn't. I mean if she was into women, hell now she got me talking in circles. Just keep her away from me."

We joined our friends. Tammy and Gray followed in. Ian was telling one of his stupid jokes while Mona rolled her eyes. We all laughed.

Moments later, we took our seats. The orchestra began to play but there seemed to be a different beat. They had dimmed the lights but flashes of  rainbow fluorescent beams took over the stage. In the conductor's stand, Evan, Cadence's complete trifecta, led the massive ensemble. He worked his magic with harmonic interludes combining genres that had the audience tapping their feet, snapping fingers or clapping their hands and their heads bobbing to the beat. He had upgraded this monotone of synthesized instruments into his own version of creative melodies.

"Wow so different," Melanie whispered.

"Yeah, so much better than I expected."

We continued to listened as he brought romance, comedy, and classical credence that you could feel the whispers of the instruments and their vivacious auras claiming you.

I could see Cadence in front of us smiling the whole time. She was proud of her mate. She wiped tears, in appreciation and Jacob smiled. The combination of the three lovers was somewhat poetic. Although I could only love one woman and Mel one man, it was a simple calculation for them that equaled happiness. I was happy my friend Jacob found that although some may see it as ungodly or a sin, but what I saw was three people that truly loved one another and their children were happy.

The intermission was announced and we all got up. Everyone was giving Cadence praises and Jacob handshakes based off Evan's performance. Moments later Evan came out, coming towards his family. He kissed and hugged Cadence and shook Jacob's hand along with a brotherly hug.

"Man you are the Herbie Hancock of classical music," Ian said congratulating him.

"Thanks. This was something new. Thanks to Cad and J for letting me find my way in this. This was way out of my comfort zone but I think everyone liked it."

"Definitely not what I expected. I actually enjoyed it very much," Chase said.

Evan made his rounds through the group that supported him.

"Please tell me you are doing the second half?" Chase asked.

"No they are doing Mozart and Strauss."

"Well I guess it's nap time fellows," Gray said and the others agreed.

"I say we leave now and grab some dinner. I'm sure the City Club could find an opening for a few overdressed patrons."

"Marc I'm down. I would love a steak right about now," Chase said.

"Let's go."

An hour later we were sitting in the club watching the boats and barges drag along the Mississippi River. We were laughing enjoying one another's company.

"Do you mind if we join you guys?"

I looked up to see Alexander Scott and his fiancé Victoria Robinson.

"Sure, let me introduce you," I said getting up. After intros were done they sat next to Melanie and I. Mel began her interrogation as I called it on Alexander. They spoke and not long they were laughing.

The night continued on with old and new friends. It was after eleven when we all finally took our leave. The dinner was top notched and the company up there too. When Mel and I got in the limo with Gray and Tammy, they asked to be dropped off first. The newly engaged couple had been touchy feelie all night. Stealing kisses, or tiny touchs, the couple was ready for more.

Once they were dropped off, I asked the driver to take us to Canal Street.

"This is not the direction of home."

"I thought you and I could reminisce."

"About?

"Wait and see."

The driver pulled up to Cafe du Monde. She looked out the window.

"Ah we are just a little overdressed you think for beignets?" I rolled up the tinted partition and grabbed the bag off the floor.

"Here you go." I passed the small duffel to her. Inside was the outfit from the first night I took her out. She put her hand to her mouth and was about to cry.

"You remembered?"

"Of course I would. I had Robert open Saks and this is what you wore out. The shoes are in there too. Here let me help you out the dress."

"Marc?"

I put my hands up in surrender. "I'll be a good boy for now." I blocked the partition as she changed clothes. I slipped off my bow tie and jacket. I unpinned her hair as I liked it hanging down. I open the door and she put her shrug on. The jazz ensemble played as people watched and danced. Even at midnight the place was still a buzzed with theatrics and the city reflection of its culture.

"Dance with me?" I asked holding my hand out. She took it and I twirled her around. I wanted to remind her that our romance would never die. She laughed and it lingered to see her happiness shining through. I dipped her bringing her back up to me. She started letting loose as the musicians started playing, Girls Just Want To Have Fun, by Cyndi Lauper. She danced as her body moved from side to side. I watched in fascination.

Her eyes were fixed on me. I smiled as she twirled around like a young girl without a care in the world. Coming up to me she wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me.

"I loved you yesterday, I love you today, I'll love you forever."

I chuckled. "I love you to the moon and beyond."

We held hands and headed straight to the cafe where we had a powder sugar fight and ended up on a midnight carriage ride through the Quarters. We held hands as she rested her head on my shoulder.

"Since MJ is sleep why don't we go to Marco's Island. We can leave tonight and be back by tomorrow evening. Just you and me, alone. I promise to be a good boy. I miss spending quality time with you and I want to see the sunrise with you on the beach."

"I do too."

"I wasn't going to say anything but I have to go to Frankfurt, Germany at the end of the week. The market isn't doing to good and I need to evaluate a couple of investments."

"How long will you be gone?"

"A minimum of five days."

She let out a deep breath. "What about Leland?"

"I will figure something out." I kissed her on the forehead.

"I can go."

"Not without me."

"Why not?"

"I don't trust a man like him."

"Marc it will be fine."

"Nope not happening without me. Look let's talk about this later. No business talk, only you and me talk."

"Fine, you're right. We have time to talk about this later."

"So can we go to Marcos Island?" I kissed her on the neck.

"As long as we are back before dinner tomorrow."

"Scouts honor."

"Okay let's go."
