To The Cafe Love!

Chapter Four

Before long the chauffeur arrived with the limousine and took us to Viktor's house. It was an old Victorian on top of one of the hills. Like his car, it was restored to perfection, she looked like the carpenters had just finished building her. She was traditional white with plenty of gingerbread trimming, a small front yard filled with flowers, bushes and decorative stones.

We stood on the sidewalk as the chauffeur pulled away. I said: "She is beautiful Viktor! I can't wait to see the inside. Are all of your houses this nice?" He laughed as he said: "No Glory, the others are tract houses. When I saw this one for sale I couldn't pass it up. I have thought of selling it several times, it is a shame to let it sit here empty most of the time." We stood there and admired the old house for a while and then Viktor said: "Well let's go on in and get a fire started. I'll turn on the heat too, it takes too long for this old house to warm up with only the firepplace."

The house was as beautiful inside as she was outside. I asked Viktor: "Did you do this Viktor? She's beautiful!" He answered: "No Glory, the last owner had it restored inside and out, before she put it up for sale. All I have done is hire a company to keep the house and yard up for me. I am glad you like it though, you know you can come stay here any time you want. It is a nice place to come and relax for a few days." His fireplace had a black and white marble hearth and mantle. As Viktor began building a fire I said: "This is nice, all of the fireplaces I have seen were nothing but red bricks." Viktor said: "Mrs. Morgan said it came from Columbia in the late 1800's." I asked: "From South America?" He laughed and said: "That's good Glory. No Columbia California in the Mother Lode. South-east of Sacramento. They used to quarry a lot of marble there. Most of the marble in San Francisco that didn't come from Italy, came from Columbia."

With a warm fire crackling in the fireplace Viktor said: "Make yourself comfortable Glory, I will be right back," and left the room. I found a couple large pillows and laid them in front of the fire, then sat down and waited for Viktor to return. He shortly returned with a hot buttered rum for each of us. As he sat down on the other pillow I said: "This has been a lovely evening Viktor, no man has ever treated me like this on our first date, or even after that! Why have you spent so much time and money on me? You act as if we had already been dating for a year."

He slid over next to me and put his arms around me. Then he said: "I believe you are the right woman for me Glory, I hope to show you that I am the right man for you! I have not spent much money on you, and you can have all of my time you want. You have seen some of my toys, and I have tried to show you, and tell you, how much I want you. Now it is up to you Glory." He had me so that I didn't know what to say again." Finally I did speak: "Kiss me Viktor, I want you to make love to me, here, in front of the fire!" Viktor looked very concerned as he said: "Are you sure Glory, are you sure it is not the rum and champagne talking? Because I am willing to wait."

I answered: "I am very sure Viktor, I have been waiting a long time for this. No man has touched me since I was raped, and if you won't make love to me, no man ever will!" I was about to start crying again when Viktor began to kiss me, gently at first, and then passionately. After a while when Viktor began to make love to me, I almost froze in terror, with memories of that man filling my mind. For a moment I started to push Viktor away and almost started screaming. But I came back to reality quickly and the memories didn't return.

When we were through, Viktor asked: "Are you okay Glory? It felt like you started to push me away, is this too much for you? If it is we can wait and get you some help first if you need it!" I answered: "No Viktor, I will be okay. For a moment I was reliving the rape again. I will have to work my own way through this." We made love several more times before I fell asleep in front of what was left of the fire. Viktor placed a couple blankets over me rebuilt the fire and then slipped in beside me. Until then I didn't realize how good it is to have your man beside you, even when you are sleeping!

When I awoke the next morning, Viktor was already in the kitchen cooking breakfast for us. As I walked in and sat down at the table, he poured a cup of coffee for me and said: "Cream or sugar?" I answered: "Yes Viktor, plenty of both!" After puting in some real cream and sugar he placed the cup in front of me and went back to cooking. With a hot cup of good coffee in my hands, I said: "Honey, you said that you wanted to make last night a night I wouldn't forget. Well I can guarantee you that it was. I didn't think I would ever be able to get close enough to a man, for him to make love to me. Last night you showed me that it was only because I had not met the right man."

"Last night, the most handsome man I have ever seen came into my life and made love to me. I will never be the same again! How can I thank you? What can I say or do, that will show you how much you mean to me?" He slid an omlet on the table in font of me, and went back to finish his own. As he cooked his breakfast he said: "Glory, you have been showing me how much this means to you right from the start. You trusted Me when you have not trusted a man since you were a girl. You have treated me with kindness and respect, not respect for my money, but for Viktor, no woman has treated me like this. There have been some who would have said anything to get their hands on my money, but you are the first lady who has been willing to give me her love asking nothing in return. I could never earn enough money to buy what you have freely given!"

As Viktor walked over to the table with his breakfast, he said: "We need to eat now Glory, it is already ten o'clock and we have to leave in an hour." Shortly the chauffeur was outside with his limousine, Viktor locked the old house up, and we walked out to the limo together. It did not take long before we were back at the airport and parking beside Viktor's jet. Mark and Sam had shown up early and had her fueled and ready to leave. The trafic was light so we were in the air without a long wait and on our way home.
