Helena
proceeded to call her hotel to make precise arrangements for dinner.  Her executive suite came equipped with access
to a chef to handle any personal requests. 
She wanted to make this a memorable night which could assist her
seducing Samantha tonight.  Having the
necessary arrangements complete, Helena
makes her way onto the plane for the quick shuttle to San Francisco.

Samantha knew the minute Helena hustled off the
phone that she would be pressuring her tonight. 
The moment Helena
was off the line, Samantha put a call into Shane letting her know of what Helena had set up for
tonight.  Shane had assured her not to
worry that she would have someone close. 
Letting out a deep sigh, Samantha made her way outside to the
ever-waiting Charles. 

Samantha was a little surprised when
Charles informed Samantha that she would be dining in Ms. Peabody’s suite
tonight.  The first thought that went
through Samantha’s mind was fear.  How
was she going to get out of this one but she trusted Shane.  Shane had told her not to worry and while
that wasn’t possible at least she could keep the worry down to a manageable
level.  Exiting the car, Samantha makes
her way through the lobby to the set of private elevators off to the left as  per Charles’s instruction.  These elevators required the key card that
Charles had provided to make the call for the doors to open and once closed only
had one stop, the top floor. 

Walking of the elevator on the 35^th
floor was like walking out at the top of the world.  The view was breath taking.  Samantha could see the water of the bay.  “Quite a stunning view isn’t it.” Helena says making her
way to Samantha.

“Yes this is incredible.” Samantha says
a little in awe.

Helena
smiles at Samantha’s lack of words. 
Walking up to her, she takes Samantha’s chin in one hand and pulls it
down so Samantha’s lips were now within reach for Helena.  Standing on her toes, Helena reaches up to place a gentle kiss on
Samantha’s lips.  “Excuse me darling but
I have been wanting to do that for ages. 
Now please come in and let’s have that relaxing dinner I promised.”  With a smile Helena took Samantha’s elbow and escorted her
down the pair of marble steps  into the
waiting living room.

Samantha admired the room with all its
beauty.  There was a table set up with a
tablecloth and burning candle by a large bank of windows.  The view faced west which would allow them
the ultimate view of the sunset as they dined. 
A bottle of wine was chilling beside the table and the first course of
salad looked to be already in place.
