~*~Part 3~*~
They reached her car and Aaronth opened the passenger side door for her, before walking around the car and taking his place behind the wheel. {Where could he possible be taking me?} she thought. Sable knew better than to try to get the answer from him because he could be just as stubborn as she was.
They drove in silence for a while with Sable deep in thought. {What could be more important than Thierry's orders?} she thought. {I guess I'll find out soon.} Just then they reached the Drake Hotel and Sable was surprised when Aaronth stopped the car and came to help her out. Before she could protest, he ushered her through the lobby and into the elevator. He held her close to him as he pushed the button for the top floor and kept her by his side as they rode to the penthouse floor. He smiled sheepishly down at her and said; "I guess you have figured out my plan by now. I never could hide anything from you for long." Before she could answer him he leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss to her lips. As if perfectly timed, the elevator doors slid open as he ended the kiss. She was still slightly dazed from his kiss. {Will this feeling ever go away? Every time we kiss I feel like I could fly to the moon and back without any help} she thought. When she recovered, she looked around the rooms he had reserved for them. They were gorgeous.
The main room opened into the master bedroom and a spare room. After exploring the suite, she returned to stand in front of him in the bedroom. Smiling at him, she said, "As much as I'd like to keep you here forever, we should really go the Thierry's. It must be important for him to send you to find me instead of waiting for me to check in. After all, we do have the rest of eternity to be together." She leaned up and kissed him before taking her bag and heading toward the bathroom. "Just give me time to shower and change and we can go." she called over her shoulder.
A short time later she emerged from the steam filled room wearing her signature black dress. It was long, black, and fit her like a second skin and had a cut out to show off her stomach. It was his favorite dress.
Growling at his wanting to lock her up alone with him for the rest of time, Aaronth entered the bathroom and took a quick shower. He walked back into the main room wearing a pair of black jeans and a silk shirt that was tailored to fit him perfectly. "Are we going to go, or are you just going to sit there and stare?" he asked. {Sit here and stare.} she thought. But instead she said, "Let's get going." Five minutes later, they were speeding down the road toward the mansion.
