The Penthouse (Seventh and Eighth Floors)

The Penthouse that Eli and Kelly share is a bit of modern art and classic design rolled into one. When one enters from the elevator, the common area is what tends to catch the attention right away, with furnishing that's both stylish and classy. A few paintings decorate the wall behind the comfortable sofa, and a raised edge coffee table sits in front of it. The flat screen isn't the largest TV, but is plenty for the space provided, and it is by far not the primary area for entertainment purposes to be found in the place. The view of the common area from above is just as nice as from the main floor level, and the entire room gives a vibe of comfort and style to anyone spending time there.

A short walk from the common area leads to the stylish modern kitchen, which contains all the amenities to entertain any sort of dinner party the residents might decide to hold. Aside from the large, spacious refrigerator/freezer combo, there is also a wet bar, providing alcohol storage for those times when the hosts are entertaining special guests. Of course, anyone brought to the penthouse would be considered special, since the owners are inviting people into their personal living space.

The main bath for the penthouse, while not as grand as Eli and Kelly's personal bathrooms, is still quite spacious and comfortable. The bathroom provides both a shower and a tub, so guests always have the option of how they would prefer to bathe. There are also plenty of mirrors to suit the vanity of one who prefers to keep his or her appearance a priority.

For those times when people just want to relax and enjoy a nice, comfortable environment, there's a spa room with a jacuzzi and a beautiful view of the surrounding area. The owners, and guests, can often be found here, enjoying a drink while allowing the jets of the jacuzzi to work the kinks out of their aching muscles. Of course, it comes in quite handy for entertaining special types of company as well, and is large enough to seat several people, or offer plenty of room for just two.

The outdoor patio offers a decent spot to relax and get some fresh air, and one or both of the owners can be found here from time to time enjoying a nice drink while watching the city below. The small table and outdoor chairs obviously don't match the comfort of the indoor furniture, but they are weather proof, and stand up to the conditions of the outdoors quite well. This tends to be one of Eli's favorite thinking spots, as it allows him to be outside when he starts feeling a bit claustrophobic.

Perhaps the most entertaining room of the penthouse is the home theater. This room not only has a large screen with a projector, but this projector is also connected to a DVD player, the TV tuner, and a digital video feed for all of the cameras in the club and brothel so activities can be monitored at any time. More than anything, this room serves as entertainment, but it also allows Eli and Kelly to check up on their investment when they aren't actually present in the club or the brothel, and it can often be fun to check out the activities of some of the brothel workers in their rooms from time to time, who are fully aware of the system and have agreed to be monitored at times for safety, though the owners can't deny taking a bit of guilty pleasure from their viewings now and then as well.

And then, of course, for those who travel upstairs, they will find the personal living areas of Kelly and Eli (separate threads).

As the door opend she slowly stepped through and gasped as she looked around the brightly lit place. Even though it was night outside, she could see the entire apartment clearly. Looking down, she realized her shoes were rather dirty and slipped them off. Gliding her hand over the brown table she looked about the room and asked.
"How big is this place? im afraid i may get lost."

She didnt mean it in a teasing way, she just had never been inside a house this large before. Shifting from foot to foot as her feet tingled from how strangly cold the wood floor felt to her, she walked on her tip toes to look around. Looking back at him over her shoulder she then leaned over to smell the white flowers in the vase giving him a rather nice view and then looked up the stairs.

"So you said you had drinks hm?"

"It's...I dunno...couple thousand squares I guess," Eli answered Tabitha's question. "Kelly and I share it." He stepped out of his shoes and set them at the elevator door, starting to remove his coat and tossing it over the back of a chair as he made his way toward the kitchen and dining area. "Right this way," he told her. "Wet bar's in here." As he reached the kitchen, he opened a cabinet to grab a couple of glasses, setting them on the counter before ducking behind the bar and rising with a bottle.

"Asbach Uralt," he commented as he poured each of them a glass. "German brandy. They won't legally call it cognac, even though that's technically what it is." Giving a light shrug, he had filled each glass about a quarter full, then capped the bottle once more before grabbing his glass and raising it in toast. "So, here's to a good first night," he said with a smile, somewhat sweet, somewhat seductive as he watched her.

Pulling out a peraly white bar stool, Tabby leaned onto the counter as she watched him pour them glasses or liquor. Smiling her boobs practically rested on the counter as she looked arund the kitchen. Everything seemed to amaze her, like she hadn't seen granite counter tops before.
"To a good evening"

She toasted with him, clanking her glass with his, she downed it in one breath and set it gently on the counter. Looking up at him from under her eye lashes she smiled and said.
"Im more of a fine whine kind of girl...i could drink wine all day long..."
She smoothed the words out with a seductive drawl as her blue eyes looked at him as if she were to suddenly get up and pounce him from the other side of the bar.

Chuckling softly, Eli gave a slight nod. "We have a wine cellar in the basement of the building. I'll show it to you sometime. Some pretty nice vintages down there. I grab one and bring it up here from time to time though." Pouring himself another glass of the brandy, he capped it, then moved to grab a wine glass from the cabinet for Tabitha, setting it on the counter before he ducked down again, then rose with a bottle of California North Coast Cabernet Sauvignon, dated 2001, and a corkscrew. Twisting the screw into the cork, he popped the top and poured her a glass before stoppering the bottle once more.

"That something more to your taste?"

He met her gaze, his eyes showing those tints of gold once more, though it seemed as if the effect was starting to remain rather then coming and passing now and then. He could sense her growing excitement, and it was starting to bring out his instincts a bit. Naturally, his eyes fell to her breasts as they practically rested on the counter top, then roamed to her face once more, admiring her features for a moment. The girl did have the type of body and grace that drove men wild...and given he was much more than just a man, it had a bit of an added effect on him.

Running her hand through her brown locks she smiled and graciously took the bottle of whine and sipped it, sighing audibly she licked her lips to be sure she made sure she missed none of the sweet wine. Looking up at him her lips curled into a sort of seductive smile as she looked him up and down with curiostiy.

"Are you trying to get me drunk sir?"

She couldnt help but break intio a full smile as she stood up from her chair and walked around the bar so that she was standing infront of him. Leaning back so that her lower back was pressed against the bars' counter, leaning her elbows on the top of it and leting her body sit in a relaxed pose she tried to stand in a way that made it look like she wasnt tense from all the sexual static they were feeling.

"So how about showing me around the rest of your palace hm?"

Eli had noticed the looks and could feel the tension in the air. It only served to excite his instincts a bit more, and he could feel his own body reacting to her presence. A lesser creature might have lost control by then, but he was no lesser creature. He had learned to control himself and his urges long ago, though he was happy to indulge them from time to time, of course. As Tabitha joked about him trying to get her drunk, he simply offered a smirk and shrugged gently.

"Just trying to help you relax. And would I need to get you drunk?"

He watched as she sauntered around the counter and leaned against it, the pose causing her to push those fabulous breasts forward so that it was hard not to notice them, and he got the feeling she wanted him to look. Actually, it was more than just a feeling. He knew she wanted him to look, and possibly more. It was hard for a woman to hide such things from him, or for anybody to for that matter. He could catch scents and subtle tones in the voice that others couldn't that told all he needed to know.

"Come, then, and let me show you around."

Offering his arm, he led her through the penthouse, showing her the different areas, including the spa room, where the jacuzzi sat covered at that moment, the patio, where he enjoyed sitting and relaxing from time to time while watching the city below, and the home theater, where he could choose to watch a movie or check video feeds from the club if he wanted. Soon he was leading her up the stairs, pointing to the two doors at the top of the rise, directly across the hall from each other. "Those are the bedrooms. Kelly will have to show you her room whenever she's around, as I respect her too much to enter without her, but I can show you mine."

Leading her toward the door to his room, he looked to her and smiled, opening the door and motioning her inside.

"After you..."

(Continued Here for anyone still following this.)

Kelly entered the space she shared with Eli to find a rather pleasant surprise. It appeared that Kelly and Keane hadn't been the only ones who'd been enjoying each other tonight. Eli, it appeared, was having a really good time with someone. She grinned and wished him further pleasure in silence before she went to the stairs, panties in hand, going to her room to freshen up a little.

As Kelly led him to the Penthouse, he was constantly touching her. They were fleeting touches, meant to tempt and taunt her. A brush of her thigh, a shoulder, a feel of lips against her ear or neck. He was quick with his touches, especially after that brush of her lips against his own sparking his lust. It wasn't long however, before Elthrai simply grabbed her and pushed up against a wall. He was gentle with just that bit of control that he knew she liked. He didn't box her in or crowd her, giving her room to move away if she wanted, but he wanted her feeling a bit overwhelmed. He wanted his presence to fill all of her senses. Moving a hand from her collarbone up to her chin, he lightly pushed to tip her face up to him with a smirk.

"Kelly..."

He murmured her name, a mixture of desire tinged with something else. Was it need? It almost sounded like she would be his sexual salvation if she let him have her the way he wanted. Still, he was restrained, gentle yet commanding, allowing some give with her. He was only completely dominant with those who craved it, and he knew from speaking with Kelly that she needed both dominance and submission from her partner. He wanted to give her all she craved. His eyes had darkened further with his lust and want as he pressed close, playing a dance of denial with her. But he wanted those plump lips beneath his own. Had to have them. Yet he held himself still, letting her make the next move.

Loud moans and dirty talk filled the air as they entered the penthouse, though the noise was somewhat muffled by Eli's door. It sounded like he was still giving her the ride of her life. She had to chuckle, but she found that it only added to her considerable arousal. Elthrai followed her in and made sure that some part of him was touching her every step of the way.

If he was attempting to keep her interest up, he was succeeding. She let him guide her to a wall near the stairs that led to her part of the apartment. Guide wasn't really the term for it, since he'd just grabbed her and practically pinned her to it. But she could still move and she was still very aware of the fact that there was a bit of space between them.

He came so close that it was hard for her to breathe normally--all her cravings coming to the forefront. And she craved all of him. So she wasted no time in taking what she wanted since he seemed to be giving her the chance to start it off. She leaned into him and kissed him deeply, one arm wrapping around his neck and holding him there. Her other arm found itself wrapping around his waist and pulling him into her, pressing them both together gently to remind him of what she promised. She still had a bit of restraint, however, and after a moment she loosened her grip and looked up at him, lips brushing against his as she spoke.

"Elthrai... Do you want to see my room?" She asked softly, smirking just a bit.

His mind blanked out for a moment when Kelly finally put her lips against his own. Due to restraint and desire, he found his instincts to take and pleasure her skyrocket. Yet he still held back, finding the plumpness and taste of her lips a flavor he wanted to mimic in one of his drinks somehow. He probably never would since each woman had a unique flavor on their lips and between their legs, but still he would try if only to see the expression on her face afterwords. He found himself practically purring as she pulled him closer with a hand around his waist and neck. It was gently, almost chaste, the way she held him before slipping away. And as she spoke, lips brushing his tauntingly, he couldn't help but grin at her words.

"I thought that was the whole point, Lady Fair."

He chuckled, accent thicker with his lust. Combing his fingers through her silky strands, Elthrai gripped them as he pulled her back into her body. He was playful in his movements, giving her any chance she wanted to pull away from him. He would never use force on a woman who didn't want it, especially when playing. His lips whispered against her skin, teeth leaving traces of their passing in their wake. He hadn't been up to the Penthouse and well, the sounds coming from Eli and his woman were a clear indicator that that wasn't Kelly's room. Murmuring against her ear with a smirk, the elf spoke.

"Try to guide me without eyes if you can."

He challenged, capturing her lips with a feral little sound.

Kelly felt him respond to her. A quick relaxing and tensing of the muscles, his body feeling somehow warmer to her. He seemed very pleased with the way things were going, and it made her chuckle when he suggested that she'd been wanting to bring him to her room in the first place.

"Oh dear, how did you see through me?" she teased, loving his accent and the way he ran his fingers through her soft hair. She closed her eyes as he pulled her back into him. It was a playful pull, not a forceful one, and she liked it. She didn't try to pull away, moving against him instead as he let his lips wander over her smooth skin. Closing her eyes, she shivered as he told her to find her way without her eyes. Before she knew it, he was kissing her again and taking her breath away. Every sound he made was just delicious.

Before she moved anywhere, she wanted to take a long moment to enjoy his lips. She leaned into him, licking his lips just a bit to get a taste of him. Enjoying the feel of his lips against hers, she kept him there as she slowly scooted against the wall toward the stairs. In a few steps, they were at the steps. And then slowly she started to back up them, not letting his lips part from hers even once. It was talent, and luck. And before long, they were in her bedroom.
