"That sounds very nice. What do you have in mind?" Victoria asked, looking up at him.

  Andy kissed her throat, and said "Well, I was thinking Versuzzi's, but if you have another preference for where to go, I'm flexible.  And then I thought we'd go see the Hobbit, Desolation of Smaug."

Victoria smiled at that idea.

"Versuezzi's does sound wonderful. And I remember reading the second Hobbit book, and I'd be interested in watching the movie."

  Andy chuckled, and said "Well, then let's get ready, we'll do dinner first, then the movie."

"Don't worry....I'm sure that I can find SOMETHING to wear..."

She winked at him as she left the room.

She soon emerged in a black salsa-style halter dress, complete with black high-heel shoes, doing a twirl for Andy.

"Will this work?"

  He gently caught her around the waist in his hands, and picked her up to give her a hot kiss.  The he asked "How fancy do you want me to be, love?  Leathers, a suit?  I want to make all the other ladies jealous of you . . ."

"I do like you in leather, amor," Victoria said after the hot kiss. "Together, we will sizzle the town tonight."

  Smiling, he dipped his head to kiss her, and when that kiss broke, he was wearing the black silk shirt under a black leather vest, and black leather pants that clung to his form and left no doubt she had a man to drool over, along with black boots, somewhere between Western boots and motorcycle boots.  He asked, lightly "This work?"  Topping it all was a big black leather trenchcoat that made her think of the velvety soft membranes of his wings.

That works VERY nicely," Victoria said. "I think we are good and ready now..."

  He smiled, and asked "Want me to grab my motorcycle?"

"It's been a while since we rode on the bike. Sure..." she told him, grinning at the prospect of going on the motorcycle.

  He grinned, and picked her up in his arms to carry her, effortlessly, down to the big harley, he'd finished repainting it, and it looked gorgeous, black with silver trim and lots of snappy looking chrome.  The gas tank had been lovingly and carefully painted with an image of her, with a dark, bat-winged shape lurking in the fog behind her that had glowing purple eyes.  It really was a showpiece, resurrected from being a total piece of crap.

Victoria smirked, arcing a curious eyebrow.

"That is an amazing piece of art. The bike...and the portrait. Very nice."

  He rumbled, and licked her throat before he rumbled in her ear "My bike, so I can paint anything I want on it.  Anyone complains about my choice of artwork, I can throw them through a wall or two.  I think you're gorgeous, and deserve to be immortalized on my bike's gas tank."  Then he sat her delicately side-saddle on the back of it, and stepped over it, kicking it to life casually, and making the whole bike roar like it was a pissed Demon before settling down.

Victoria smiled, wrapping her arms around him, and laying her head on his back. She sighed happily as the bike roared to life.

  He headed off to Verzuzzi's.

>>>From The Streets>>>

Victoria and Andy arrived back at the apartment. Her smile spoke volumes about the epicness of their night.

"Mil Gracias, Andy. I will remember this night fondly forever."

  He chuckled, and kissed her throat, and said softly "Well . . .I hope it will be fondly."

"It is...very fondly...ones that I will cherish.." Victoria said, kissing Andy on the cheek.

  He smiled, and swept her up, into his arms before he said with a devilishly playful glimmer in his eye "Good.  Now I get to carry you off and ravish you, my beauty."

She wrapped her arms around him after he swept her up.

"Who will ravish who, my darling?" she said playfully.

  He carried her into the bedroom, and rumbled "Why don't we find out, my lovely lady?"

"I look forward to that," Victoria said, still hanging on to the handsome man, smiling.

  He closed the bedroom door behind them, and then laid her on the bed with infinite gentleness.
