When Ross arrived for their date, and she opened the door, he said, smiling.
"Come, my love, let us drink our fill, and let us enjoy this passion together.'
"Good evening, Ross; you're in a good mood."
"Ever since I met you. Well, are you ready to go my lady?" Ross asks.
"Sure, lead the way. Oh, let me get my Jacket."
“Wait, I'll get it for you." Without hesitation, Ross reaches over to the coat rack and retrieves her coat, attempting to help her put it on.
Tippa says, “Thanks, but I can do it.”
Ross immediately states holding on to her jacket. “Please give me this honor.” Peering sincerely into her large pretty eyes.
“Thank you.”
“You're welcome.” He said softly, standing behind her, looking at her cheeks softly blush.
Ross watches her as she goes down the hallway. He chuckles, flicks off the light, and hurries to catch up to her. She tries her hardest to contain the sensations burning within, that surface from somewhere deep for Ross.
A man as gorgeous as Ross, there was no way a woman would ever be able to continue to ignore him for any period, without being affected. Not only did he look good and sound good, but he also smelled good, as well — all a lethal combination for breaking a female's restraints.
When they stepped outside, Ross said, "There's a nice little pub we can go to and have our nightcap."
She nodded in agreement. It was a cold December night, but as they began talking and walking down the street together, the cold didn't seem to phase either one of them.
"Do you drink nightcaps often?" She asked.
"Mmm...let's see, I wouldn't say often, until here recently. New York has brought about so many changes in my life, a nightcap helps to ease the tension when it gets to be too much, and I need to relax."
"I see...I can relate to the changes you speak of myself. So why call it a nightcap? I never understood the phrase. Isn't it simply having a drink?"
"No, no it's entirely different. I don't like to drink heavily, so a sexy nightcap tops you off just right for bed.'
"Oh, now it's called, a sexy nightcap." She softly laughs in disbelief at his synopsis.
"You say it like it's dirty," Ross replies chuckling, looking at the facial expression she held. Tippa didn't respond to that statement. They walk about another block or two before Ross stops, now standing in front of this place.
"Well, we have arrived."
She stops, too, and looks at the small quaint building. "So this is it?" Tippa asks, looking up at him and smiling.
"Yes, this is the place," Ross says, as he opens the door. "Ladies first."
Being attentive to a lady came second nature to this man. Once again, he's a perfect gentleman, helping her with the removal of her coat. Then, before she sits, he takes and pulls out the wingback chair from the small table for her to be comfortably seated. Ross did it all, with a smile on his face; Tippa had to admit, she'd never experienced being treated so ladylike by her previous boyfriend. Now she knows for sure that he, indeed, was a jerk. Once they're seated, she inquires looking at him pleasantly.
Tippa continues their conversation by asking Ross. "So tell me, exactly what's a sexy nightcap? And what do you recommend I have to drink?" She asks him all in one breath.
"Okay, first, let's take this slow. You can't rush a good thing. A sexy nightcap, my lady, is a concept, that you have to let yourself completely become absorbed in and completely embrace. Especially for you, since this is your first time."
"So you're suggesting I let my guard down, is that it?..." She asks, peering at him, with a hint of playful suspicion.
"That'll work too." He said, chuckling, "Sounds good to me."
Tippa lifts a brow and says sexily. "Alright...I'm willing."
That seductive little phrase turns Ross's ignition. Tippa leans back and moans sexily, with him enjoying the scene. She relaxed, leaning back into her chair, as she slowly crossed her legs in front of him. Ross leans slightly forward reaching down, letting his feathery touch graze her leg. He takes the liberty of making his fingers circle her shapely calf.
Her pretty eyes expand from his actions. He gently begins to massage her calf muscle. Ross watches her eyes settle into sweet calmness. He then lets his fingers slither up and down the smoothness of her legs. In his second unexpected move, he began removing the red stilettos, one by one. Tippa's eyes slightly went sexily dark, as the rigidity in her spine, eased a bit. From these surprising actions, Ross is taking.
He watches her unfold slowly right before his penetrating gaze. A real man knows when a delicate flower, needs attention and watering. Tippa lets out a delightful sigh as Ross gently squeezes, stroking her legs, from her kneecap to her small delicate ankles. When his hands go down further to her bare feet, he notices her soft, well-manicured toes painted a pale yellow.
Ross flicks his dreamy eyes up to Tippa's, studying her with characteristic intensity and analyzing every minor detail about this young lady.
"Have these comely feet ever been massaged, my darling?" he asks, holding one of her ankles hostage in his large hand while the other hand stirs up passion in her other leg.
"I can't say they have," she replies, feeling soft trembles on the inside of her body.
"Hmm...So, this is how this is going to work. I'm going to order you, a lady in red, and myself a golden knight."
"With drinks, with names like that. I hope I'm not going to regret this night." She smiles at him teasingly.
"I don't believe in nights of regret," Ross states, in a voice that goes lower and husky.
"Woo...I don't have a comeback for that." She says with one eyebrow arched up at him. Curiously wanting to know precisely, what that means.
The waiter comes to their seating area, observing the scene smiling. Ross places her legs across his muscular thigh, not setting her free. He proceeds to give the waiter their order. Tippa's eyes glisten as she looks at his excellent bone structure while enjoying the pleasantries of Ross's smooth, accented voice. It alone did unexplainable things to her. Tippa listens to him, as he places their order. The waiter leaves the table, and now Tippa is about to experience something she never imagined.
"Now it's time to give attention to this other beautiful limb," Ross says sultrily, gazing at her. It didn't help that the music playing at the moment was one of her favorites. Ross starts the sensual massage up the back of her other leg, tenderly gripping her calf muscle with the right amount of pressure with his hands and working his way down to her ankle. Tippa's eyes close as she listens to the sultry music playing in the background.Tippa had never felt tantalized like this before. Ross was only touching and massaging her legs, but her vulnerability was letting him consume her. The part of her that eyes could not see was glowing underneath. She had never been exposed to Ross's art of touch in this way. Tippa let a faint sigh escape her lips.Ross began whispering in that sexy tone as his hands stayed canvassing, caressing and squeezing every unknown muscle. Tendons and muscles even Tippa didn't know existed until tonight. Ross is picking off her every petal as she surrenders to hi
Tippa slept peacefully and late into the morning. When she opened her eyes, a smile was already planted on her face. She could feel gladness greeting her awakening. It was the weekend, and she didn't have to go to work. The tribute to her happiness is the sensuous night she was introduced to by something called a "sexy nightcap."The feelings of small flames are still glowing like ambers lingering inside her body this morning. Tippa couldn't stop herself from smiling as she lay in bed. This is her first good night's rest in months. Not wanting the feeling to end, nor wanting to admittedly give credit to the much-needed releases that Ross bestowed upon her deprived flesh. Those electrifying hands melted away months of tension in one night. Tippa tried hard not to think about what her body and mind had experienced. It was too unbelievable for her to even comprehend."How was it possible just listening to someone's voice and you experience a fully clothed orgasm? Preposterous..." She says
Ross had left graduation practice and immediately went to look for Tippa with no success. When he exited the elevator into the parking garage, there she was walking on the opposite side of the garage. Seeing Tippa made him smile as he began calling her name.“Tippa!” But she didn’t hear him as she kept walking toward the exit door. Ross, for a minute, was mesmerized by her incredible figure. Her in those high heels and jeans, that hugged her body just right. Although it wasn’t her beauty that stopped his breath, it was her eyes. She had the most beautiful doe-shaped eyes he’d ever seen. They were the deepest color of brown. But as he watched her face and body language, he could tell something was wrong. Even at some distance Ross could see she looked distraught. Ross immediately became concerned; he had an irrational desire to fix whatever was wrong. She was walking and almost running toward the exit door with all her belongings in her arms. So, he got in his car to catch up with h
Tippa felt all she had left was her vibrant personality to get her through this trial, but it wasn’t easy. Being fired from a job was difficult; she had never been fired before, and it was unjust. She had very little to be cheerful about. Her funds were meager, and her job hunt continued longer than she hoped. But whenever Tippa spoke to her family, she needed to sound as normal as possible when her auntie Lacey would call to see how things were going.“Sweetie, this is Aunt Lacey. I have been worried about you working for those people at Kincaid Medical. How is work going? Has everything been okay?” “It’s going well. Don’t worry, Aunt Lacy, I'm a big girl, and I can care for myself.” Tippa lied and silently asked for forgiveness.“I’m happy to hear that. You know Tippa. I want to advise you not to stop looking for work elsewhere. I want you to work somewhere you can be happy doing something more aligned with your goals and dreams. Do you understand?”“Yes, I’ll keep that in mind, Aun
Weeks went by, and before long, it came down to days. Tippa had no idea what she was going to do. She slowly was losing herself in sadness, the type of sorrow she felt when she lost her parents. Tippa fought hard to recover from what felt like an unending sadness. But she held onto her father's words, who told her she was like a bright, shining star that could never be dimmed. “I can’t give up; something will come true, I know it will…” Tippa stated, wiping her tears away even though the end of the month was fast approaching.Several days later, a breakthrough finally came. It occurred one week before the end of the month when her rent and all bills were due. Tippa got a job offer! Not only that, but it pays once a week! That news alone almost brought her to tears, not because it was her dream job but because she had never felt so much pressure in all her life. Tippa realized that under the care of her parents when they were alive, she never knew how cruel and brutal life could be in
When Ross Kincaid looks up at the waitress to give her his order, Tippa was stunned! Her innocent, unguarded eyelids blinked a mile a minute.“Tippa! What on earth are you doing here?” Ross states, coolly surprised. It took everything in her power to hold it together. Her mind immediately began to spin with mixed feelings. She had worked so hard to put this exquisite-looking guy out of her mind, and now he’s here. Tippa looked discreetly around the restaurant to see if any eyes were on them. She took a deep breath. Thinking, “stay focused on your job.” When Tippa found her voice, she repeated, knowing professionalism should come first. But on the edge of her lips was the question of the night. What is he doing here? Is this a Kincaid event? Is someone in the Kincaid family spying on me again?" She asked herself, trying to contain her nerves. No, I’m going to focus on doing my job.” So, Tippa repeats.“May I take your order?" Ross smiled, “Okay”. He said softly, realizing she wasn't
Tippa was floored as she stood there, lost for words and specific actions. She was flattered, yes. But at the same time, all Tippa could think, "This man must be used to airheaded women who fall at his feet. She knew for sure he came from wealth by the bottle of wine and the meal for two he had just ordered. It was nearly $200.00."Sir, thank you for the offer, but I must pass. So, I will not be bringing my manager to speak to you about your dinner offer. Now, would you like to order that steak or something else?" She said, smiling.Ross sighed, closing his eyelids slowly, allowing the dark, almost unnaturally long lashes to sweep under his eyes as his fingers gently rubbed his lids. Then, he gradually opened his dark, slanted eyes, giving her a smoldering look, which she was sure was his first move in operation to change her mind. She fell for his charming ways once, but not this time.While observing him, Tippa's hands eased into her apron's front pockets as she tried to be patient a
Chapter 14 - Ross's PerspectiveRoss enjoyed seeing Tippa again his heart felt light and his mind kept reflecting on that night they came back together again. And he felt like a new man after meeting Tippa again. The excitement Ross discovers leaves a mark that he will never forget in his heart. Seeing her again was so unexpected, yet it felt like it was meant to be. So, quickly, one drink turned into two, and over drinks, he knew she was someone he wanted to spend more time with. But he knew he had to confront his parents over the last incident and find out why they viewed Tippa as a threat. As a young boy, Ross has always complied with his parents' wishes. He wanted to be a good doctor who could save as many lives as possible. But he also knew his parents had far bigger dreams and aspirations for him. They wanted him to think bigger than being a doctor. They wanted him to run the hospitals and clinics they owned around New York. But Ross knew he never wanted to be controlled, and he
