Nikita actually managed to become quite engrossed in the movies. She didn’t watch them end-to-end, but fast-forwarded to parts that caught her interest. She had scanned both ‘A Fish Called Wanda’ and ‘Nine ½ Weeks’ before she heard Michael’s voice float down to her from somewhere upstairs in the apartment.
"Ni-ki-ta." It was a soft, sensual command. "Come to me."
She quickly stopped the videotape and barely remembered to start the CD player before, dressed only in her white cotton panties, she embarked on her quest.
As she moved to the bottom of the stairs leading to the second floor of her apartment, the song "truly, madly, deeply" by Savage Garden played in the background.
I’ll be your dream
I’ll be your wish I’ll be your fantasy
I’ll be your hope I’ll be your love
Be everything that you need
I’ll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do
I will be strong I will be faithful
‘cause I’m counting on
A new beginning
A reason for living
A deeper meaning (Yeah…)
Nikita’s eyes widened slightly when she saw the strange trail lining the staircase. Foil-wrapped Hershey’s Kisses, M & M’s, cinnamon hearts and other confections mingled with Michael’s Elmo boxer shorts! The silk boxers trailed enticingly across two steps, leading upwards.
I want to stand with you on
a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
Nikita touched the boxer shorts briefly. Black silk she noted, pleased with the soft, sensual feel of the fabric against her fingertips. She then followed the candy trail further up the stairs, pausing occasionally to scoop up one of the sugared treats and pop it into her mouth.
She stopped once more when she came to Michael’s Elmo T-shirt slung across the stairs. Lifting the T-shirt to her face, she rubbed it against her skin and breathed in the warm, sensual scent. The powerful, exotic masculinity of him still clung to it.
Nikita growled deep in her throat and continued up the stairs, more determined than ever to complete her treasure hunt.
And when the stars are shining
brightly in the velvet sky,
I’ll make a wish to send it to heaven
Then make you want to cry
The tears of joy for all the
Pleasure in the certainty
That we’re surrounded by the
comfort and protection of
The highest powers
In lonely hours
The tears devour you
The candy trail led into the bathroom. Sensing a trap, Nikita proceeded with eager, intrigued steps, managing a strange mixture of cautious abandonment. She pushed open the bathroom door, noting the warm glow of candlelight, and surveyed the interior.
I want to stand with you on
a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
Her eyes adjusted to the glowing candlelight, and she gasped, leaning against the doorframe for support. "Mi… Mi… My God!" she managed before falling speechless once again.
Oh can you see it baby?
You don’t have to close your eyes
‘Cause it’s standing right here
before you
All that you need will surely come
Michael was reclining, apparently naked, waist deep in a heated tub of chocolate sauce! Arranged amongst the candles, near the bathtub, were bowls filled with strawberries, almonds, chocolate wafers, and assorted candies. Cans of whipped cream, flavored syrups, and steaming carafes of gourmet coffees were also on hand.
Michael sang directly to Nikita, his aquamarine eyes glowing in the soft candlelight. His voice was warm and sensual and wrapped itself around her trembling form like delicate, caressing fingertips:
I’ll be your dream I’ll be your wish
I’ll be your fantasy
I’ll be your hope I’ll be your love
Be everything that you need
I’ll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do (Mmm-hmm)
I want to stand with you on a
mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
Michael smiled enticingly and patted the side of the bathtub. "Don’t just stand there, Nikita. You’re letting all the heat out! Do you know how difficult it is to get chocolate sauce exactly the right temperature? Come on in, ‘Kita," he invited, obviously enjoying the stunned expression on her face. "The chocolate’s fine!"
