Penny's POV.
This was all so surreal, Bianca and I going shopping to some of the swankiest and most expensive boutiques.
The driver stopped in front of a very beautiful but small boutique. "This is where I was instructed to take you first."
We got out of the car and walked timidly into the boutique. A woman greeted us immediately.
"Mrs. Jenkins, you are even more lovely than your picture."
"Mrs. Jenkins?" I asked.
"Yes, your husband sent me your picture and I sent him pictures of various dresses so that he could pick some for you to choose from. You're a lucky woman to have a husband that goes to such lengths to set up a special night like this when he's out of the country."
"Out of the country? " I babbled.
Bianca saved the day. "Mrs. Jenkins has missed her husband so much, she's just blown away that he would do this for her."
I finally got it together. "You're right, I am a very lucky woman."
"My name is Athena and I have some beautiful gowns for you to choose from." Gowns? This time I managed to keep my mouth shut.
She had us both sit while she brought in each gown. I chose two to try on that I thought were simple yet elegant. The first was a beautiful very dark purple with a sheer beaded neckline. And the other was black lace over light purple silk with straps that crossed in the back. Both would show my tattoos come to think of it, all of them would have. The dark purple was the winner and Athena already had the shoes and accessories to match. I got out the credit card Brian gave me, "That's not necessary Mrs. Jenkins, your husband has already paid for everything."
"But how did he know which one pay for?" Bianca asked.
"I'm not sure, he told me that would be the perfect one and that would be the one you would pick. He picked the jewelry and shoes to go with it."
I smiled, "I know how he did it." I heard his voice "I told you Penelope, we're connected."
Brian had arranged for someone to pick up the gown and accessories so they would be at home waiting for me. We got back into the car and the driver said "Where to next?"
"My friend needs something to wear when she goes out dancing with friends tonight."
"I know just the place." He said.
He did not steer us wrong, Bianca found the perfect outfit and I picked up some lingerie for later. I've never been much of a lingerie person, but Brian has brought out all new hidden parts of me.
We went to the spa and had the works. massage, nails, pedicure and hair. I truly felt like a princess getting ready for a ball, to meet my handsome prince.
We got back to Brian's and he was nowhere to be found. The driver gave me a note from Brian.

My Dearest P,
I will be back soon to come get you. Please get ready and wait in our bedroom until I return.
All my love, B

"What does it say?" Bianca asked.
The driver interrupted, "Miss Bianca, I have been instructed to take you to Mrs. Sanders' house. I will wait here while you prepare for your evening out."
Bianca got ready and then helped me put my gown on and touch up my makeup.
"I'd better go before lurch comes up and gets me. You look beautiful."
"And you look Hot!" I said and Bianca left.
I heard some shuffling and whispering downstairs. Then it was very quiet and classical music began to play over the speakers all through the house.
Then there was a knock on the door. "Who is it?"
"It's your prince."
"You may enter." I said in the most regal voice I could muster.
Brian opened the door, he was wearing a tuxedo. He was the most handsome man I had ever seen.

Brian's POV
I opened the door and she was breathtaking. I knew she would love that dress and I would love her in it.
I couldn't speak until Penny said.
"Hello, handsome prince." She smiled and was even more beautiful. "Brian?"
"I'm sorry, I just can't take my eyes of off you. You are beautiful." I said still staring at her.
"I can't take my eyes off of you either." She said.
"Well, you are going to have to. I need you to shut your eyes and come with me."
She immediately shut her eyes and held out her hand.
I led her down the stairs and through the house to a gazebo surrounded by purple flowers. I had tried to keep her away from this part of the house ever since she arrived. I had twinkling purple lights put all around the gazebo. The walkway was framed in white lights with lights scattered through the flowers
"Open your eyes."
She opened her eyes and they twinkled brighter than all the lights.
"Brian, this is incredible, it's magical!"
"This is just the beginning." I said as I pulled out the chair for her at the table with an elegant dinner already ready on it.

Penny's POV
We ate a delicious meal, while the lights and the stars twinkled all around us. The music had now changed to a more romantic slow tempo jazz. He stood beside me, extended his palm out and said "May I have this dance before dessert?"
"I would love to." We danced and at that moment there was only the two of us in the world.
"Brian this is amazing; beyond anything I have ever imagined." We kissed.
"The best is yet to come, it's time for dessert." And he walked me back to the table, pulling out my chair for me again. He placed an elegant covered plate in front of me and then placed one at his spot and sat down.
"Go ahead Penny, I hope you like it."
"I am sure I will love it, this night has been perfect." I lifted the cover and there was a purple ring box with a beautiful ring with diamonds set in flower pattern and an amethyst in the middle. I loved it, but I was panicking a little. Also on the plate were two chocolate covered strawberries and" Be Mine" written in chocolate. Of course Brian knew what I was thinking.
"It's for your right hand, Penelope."
"Oh Brian, I don't know what to say."
"Say you'll wear it as a symbol of our love for each other, no one will know what it means except for us and that's all that matters. Will you be mine, Penny?"
"Yes, always." He slipped the ring on my finger. We kissed and danced again.
"I don't want this night to ever end." I said.
He looked into my eyes and said "This night is just the beginning."
"This night isn't close to being over either, I have a surprise for you too, Mr. Haner."
"Really?" He faked skepticism.
"You're not the only one around here that can have surprises."
"What is it?!" He said like a kid trying to find out what their Christmas present is.
"You wait here and come up to the room in 15 minutes."
"Starting timer now, you'd better hurry" he grinned.
"I made my way upstairs as fast as I could in a long gown. I had a lot to do in a little time. I knew that my surprise could not even compare to his."

Brian's POV
The 15 minutes was up and I headed upstairs to the bedroom. I knocked on the door.
"Come in" Damn, she sounded sexy.
I opened the door and the room was filled with candles and standing there in the flickering light was Penny in a purple nightie. It was perfect on her and I could barely control myself. "You are the sexist woman I have ever seen."
She laughed "I doubt that."
"It's true, let me show you." I started walking toward her, ready to take her right then.
She shook a finger at me "No, No... you can look, but no touch. Only I get to touch. Understand?"
I nodded, even though not grabbing her and making love to her right then was torture.
She walked toward me. "You are a very handsome man; do you know that?"
"That's " she cut me off. She placed her finger over my lips and whispered in my ear. "No talking" as she brushed her lips on my earlobe. I was now rock hard.
She ran her hands inside my tuxedo jacket and pulled it off me. "This jacket has to be warm." She ran her hands all over my clothed body and I could feel the silky fabric of the nightie up against me as well as the warmth of her body. She whispered in my ear again. "You are the sexiest man I have ever seen." And she started kissing from my earlobe down my neck all the while unbuttoning the top buttons of my shirt. She began to kiss my chest while undoing my pants. I was about to lose my mind I wanted her so bad. She ran her hand into my boxer shorts and that was it, I couldn't hold back any more. I pushed her up against the wall, crushing her with my lips and body. She grabbed my shirt and ripped it open. I pulled her arms above her head, crossing her wrists and holding them there with my left arm, ripping her nightie off her body with my right. Her eyes grew wide with surprise and then filled with pure lust. I kept her hands pinned to the wall as I moved my mouth down her neck, biting and sucking her flesh.
She started to speak "Brian..."
I looked her "No Talking!" I crashed my mouth to hers, so that she could not respond. I could tell how excited she was, I could feel her body tensing and the intensity with which she met my lips and tongue made it evident.
In a fluid movement, I let go of her arms spun her around and pushed her down on the bed, crashing on top of her and holding each arm individually above her head. I attacked her breasts roughly, biting and sucking.
"Oh God Yes!" She blurted out. I was immediately in her face.
"Did you just speak!!" She nodded, half grinning half trying to look scared. "Now, you must be punished!" She just grinned and bit her lip. I entered her forcefully and quickly, her back arched and I saw a second of pain followed by a look of pure pleasure. I built up a steady and forceful pace, while still holding her arms. "My girl has to be punished!" I could tell she was about to explode and she's a talker during orgasm. I held back from my own release, I saw another "punishment" opportunity. "Are you ready, I think you're about to come, aren't you?"
Her whole body shook violently, "YES!" She yelled. I stifled her screams with my mouth crashing against hers. She reached the end of her orgasm with a small moan.
"You are very disobedient, I'm afraid your punishment must be increased. She was so turned on and so ready for more, she looked at me with eyes on fire and licked her lips. I just about lost it right there. I rolled off of her flipped her onto her stomach, grabbed her hips and pulled her up to her knees on the edge of the bed. I stepped behind her, but I didn't enter her all the way. Just enough to hear her whimper. I pulled back and said "Is that what you want?"
She said "Yes!"
I spanked her ass and said "Did I say you could speak?" She shook her head. "Now let's try this again."
I thrust into her again almost completely. "Is that what you want?" She nodded and whimpered.
I grabbed her hips even tighter and crushed her onto me as I thrust into her. I knew I wasn't going to be able to hold back much longer. I could hear her breathing fast and whimpering, she was ready and I could tell she wanted to scream. "I'm about to cum, baby. You may speak only after I do." She let out a desperate whimper. That was it...
"Fuck YYYYYEEEESSSS!"
Before I even had the first word out "She was literally screaming "OHHH MY GOD! BRIAN!! YYYEEESSSS!
Once I felt her body relax, I let her hips back down to the bed slowly, she just laid there breathing hard, whispering "Oh My God" over and over. I laid next to her on the bed and put my arm around her. "You ok, Penelope?"
She rolled over with the biggest smile on her face "I'm great!"
"I'm feeling pretty great too. Awesome surprise by the way." I winked at her.
She smacked my chest "Very funny Gates."
