Maltese accepted the bubbly glass from her with pleasure, then had a sip of the dry champagne to cover the smile he was wearing in honor of her nearness. "I don't mind at all, I have had a long busy day and could eat a whole turkey. If it was a cute one..." He winked, then took another sip. "Okay, that was a little rude. My apologies." He motioned toward the giftwrapped package on the table. "A little something something? I'm afraid it is a little over the top, but fell to temptation. At least it just might go well with the Brut." As he looked at her from this close up he wasn't falling to temptation, he was going to chase it. But.... how DO you chase someone you have already shared a howling orgasm with?<br/><br/>Standing up, he moved close to her. Putting a hand on her shoulder and squeezing gently, Maltese smiled as he looked down into her beautifiul dark blue eyes. "Earlier today I wished it was yesterday all over again. Now I am glad to be here and now. You are a very attractive woman, Tegan. I knew that even before I could smell your cooking."<br/>
