---Ruby POV ---
It has been a few weeks since Riley and I have been having lunch at my office every day. She cooks me meals from all the different places she has been and it has been wonderful. We haven't talked about anything relationship related, we just hang out and talk. It has been amazing. She told me she quit MMA and is now in the process of opening her gym. Her weekends have always been full so we couldn't do anything but finally today she invited me to her apartment for dinner. I called Sophie over to help me decide what to wear because I want to drive Riley crazy enough to take things a bit further with me.
I was standing in my room with a towel on and a pile of clothes on my bed, Sophie came into my room and started sorting out my options.
"So what kind of look do you want to go for? What kind of date is it?" She asked.
"I want natural makeup and maybe a classy, chic look. My lips should be either red or pink because I know for sure she wants to kiss me. For the past few weeks, I could feel her just staring at my lips, so I want to tempt her. She is absolutely gorgeous when she is flustered. "I subtly smiled thinking back to when I would catch her staring and the cutest blush would fill her pale cheeks.
"Well, I know exactly the kind of makeup look you want so now all we need to do is pick out some clothes. I'm thinking we should go for the classic little black dress." She suggested.
"No way. I think I should wear pants. I can pull off classy and chic with some black leather pants and heels."
"That's it!" Sophie exclaimed," Leave it to me."
---Riley POV ---
I have been running up and down my house all day cleaning up and preparing for our date. I cooked a bit earlier in the day so I didn't have much else to do. I took a quick shower and took a bit of time deciding on what to wear. I chose a white button-up shirt that showcased my tattoos and black pants. I left the top two buttons open and wore a necklace around my neck. I quickly set the table and left to pick up Ruby. I decided instead of just sending her my address, I should pick her up like a real date.
It took me just a bit over thirty minutes to get there. I bought some roses on the way over, I walked to the door with them in hand and rang the doorbell. Her friend, Sophie opened the door.
"Well, well, well, looking good there Riley Scott. If I wasn't the straightest bitch here I would be jumping your bones any day." I was so perplexed by what she said couldn't even come up with a decent reply.
"Shut up Sophie! You are embarrassing me." I heard Ruby's voice from inside. When she came into view, I could hear the thunderous beat of my heart, my breath left my body and I was left utterly speechless. She was dressed in a white blouse with a layered necklace adorning her gorgeous long neck and black leather pants that hugged her shapely legs. Black heels that made her look taller than she is and a leather jacket with a fur neckline that just added to her already breathtaking beauty. She had on simple makeup and some pink lipstick that made her lips so alluring, all I could think about is grabbing her and going back to her room and ravishing her, but that could wait, I had a perfectly laid-out dinner waiting for her at my house.
"You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen." I managed to stutter out. Her cheeks flushed in that perfect red shade that I have come to love. I offered her my hand and she placed her hand in mine, I lofted it up to my lips and placed a gentle kiss on the back of her hand. I gave her the roses in my hand and she got even redder than before, which greatly pleased me.
"Thank you. You look incredibly beautiful as well." She gave Sophie the roses and followed me out to my car. I opened her door and when she was settled in I drove back to my apartment. The whole ride there my hand was itching to touch her. Keeping my emotions in check proved to be harder than any training I have ever had to endure. She placed her hand on my thigh and all my muscles tensed. My blood was rushing through my body and my heart rate did not calm down. I finally had enough and pulled over. I reached over to her and removed her safety belt and gently pulled her over my lap. Her gorgeous face was still flushed and her electrifying blue eyes looked glazed over with lust.
That look she gave me intoxicated me, and right then I knew I would do absolutely anything for this woman.
I pulled her to me and finally, our lips touched. When they say that sparks fly, they really do mean it, I could feel it all over my body. Electricity, moving through my veins, fireworks exploding all around me. Her lips were so soft, I held her tightly to me and kissed her until I was completely out of breath. "That was incredible." She said breathlessly.
"I have been waiting to do that since our first date," I said looking into her blue orbs.
"Me too." She smiled.
"I would love to continue but our dinner will get cold." I drove to my apartment and quickly ushered her in. I saw her look around my place with wonder. My apartment was huge for a person living alone but the money I made was enough that affording this place was easy. She stood in front of the giant window overlooking the city.
"This view is beautiful." She said
"It is, but you are much more breathtaking than this view could ever hope to be. Come it is time to eat. I have prepared the most wonderful meal. I am sure you will enjoy it immensely. " On the table laid a spread of a variety of foods. The main course was lamb chops with blackberry Chutney and a nice bottle of wine. For dessert, I just decided something simple like ice cream would be best. We sat and ate while chatting about our friends and work. I couldn't wait for what came after dinner. So many thoughts ran through my mind but I was sure about what I wanted. If she was ready I would give just about anything to be with her tonight.
