“Well, where are you staying?”
“I stayed in a guest room last night because I wanted you to get a good’s night rest and knew I’d be working a lot since I’d just arrived.”
“Where are you sleeping tonight?”
“I’m going to stay in the guest room for at least another night. I have a conference call later.”
“Oh,” Mandi said. Damn it. This man is frustrating.
That night Mandi decided to retire early and go to sleep, hoping it would take her mind off the emotional intensity of the day. She’d had so much fun with Sergio and their afternoon had offered so much promise. Yet, he was sleeping in the guest room for the second night in a row. I guess agreeing to the arrangement didn’t mean that he was going to want her all the time or as badly as she wanted him. Finally, exhausted from thoughts, Mandi fell asleep.
A stealthy figure snuck into Mandi’s room while she was asleep and quietly stripped his clothes down, sliding into bed next to her. Mandi awoke to the feeling of strong arms wrapped around her and a definitely aroused penis pressing into her back. She paused for a moment, trying to wake up and think.
The feel of the muscles was familiar—it was Sergio. Then he began to kiss her neck and every part of her came awake, responding instantly. Mandi turned around and could see Sergio’s face accented in the moonlight that cascaded in from the windows. His eyes were caring and intense, showing that he was longing for her just as much as she was for him.
Their hands roamed each other’s bodies, exploring them hungrily and savagely. As their lips pressed against each other urgently Mandi found her body responding, rocking back and forth toward Sergio, writhing in the intensity and passion of the moment.
Sergio leaned over Mandi and stared down at her. She looked back at him unable to move her head. His chiseled jaw and muscular body were absolutely beautiful, like one of the Italian statues she’d seen since arriving in Rome. It was at that moment that Sergio moved his hips forward and entered into her. It was incredible.
Using one hand to balance himself, Sergio took his other hand and gently cupped Mandi’s breast as he thrust in and out of her. It started out as rhythmic and soothing like the ocean in the early evening, but quickly progressed to clashing waves filled with explosions.
Mandi’s head arched back as she received the orgasms that she’d been dreaming about from Sergio. This time she was very awake though and it was a more incredible sensation than her dreams ever could have imagined.
After a bit, Sergio leaned down and let his lips gently graze Mandi’s forehead, tantalizing her with his sudden delicacy. He leaned in closely to her, continuing to move back and forth. Mandi’s hands wrapped around him and she rocked with him back and forth, helping to bring him to pleasure. She wanted him to feel so good and at that moment there was nothing that would be off the table to make that happen.
As Mandi opened up her hips more she wrapped her legs around Sergio as he moved back and forth, allowing him to enter into her deeper. He groaned, whispering, “Mandi, oh…” It was too much for him and after Mandi came again Sergio moaned in her ear, indicating that he’d just released his pent-up passion for her.
There was no talking for either Sergio or Mandi as they laid entwined in each other’s arms. Mandi thought the moment was nothing short of perfection, and she couldn’t believe how amazing the tryst with Sergio had been. There were no awkward moments, getting to understand how the other moved or what they responded to. He was fantastic, the best lover she’d ever had. No she didn’t have many to compare to, but there were certain things a woman just knew and the fact that Sergio was an incredible lover was definitely one of them for Mandi. No wonder why Olivia wanted more. Why would she even stray from that? It was an unknown mystery.
“I’m so glad I came to see you,” Sergio said. “You are incredibly beautiful and so responsive.”
“How could I not respond? That was incredible.”
“Better than your dreams?” Sergio teased.
“Definitely.”
Mandi and Sergio drifted back off to sleep, exhausted from sex and content to be in each other’s arms. When Mandi awoke she found that Sergio was already up. She looked at the time and realized that she was starving and they would be serving the family breakfast in about twenty minutes time. She hurried to get ready and make her way down stairs. As she saw her reflection in the mirror she smiled, realizing she was still glowing from the incredible midnight adventure she’d had the night before. Better yet, she knew it wasn’t a dream.
Chapter 11
Mandi ate breakfast with a big appetite, enjoying the fresh baked croissants, homemade jams, and fresh fruit that were laid out on the table. Sergio kept looking her way and smiling, casually touching her hand. She wondered if that’s what good sex did to a woman, make her starving the next day. If it did she welcomed a scrumptious breakfast every morning.
“So, did you have a lovely night, Mandi?” Diedre asked. Mandi looked over to Diedre and detected a smile upon her face, making Mandi instantly start to blush. Did everyone know that her and Sergio had been together last night? Maybe the villa walls weren’t as thick as she’d assumed they would be.
“I did have a fantastic night,” Mandi replied.
“And you, Sergio?” Diedre continued.
“Most delightful, Auntie, most delightful,” Sergio said before turning to Mandi to wink at her.
Marcel clearly didn’t like the conversations tone and in a gruffer voice added in, “Okay, we all know that everyone had a great night. What’s going on for the day?”
“I’m going to spend the day with Mandi today so none of you can have her,” Sergio teased.
“That’s good,” Diedre said. “Everything is in place for the celebration tomorrow and you should relax and enjoy this beautiful country—not just by driving from one meeting to the next.”
“Excellent advice,” Sergio replied.
“I’ll escort you to the room if you’re ready,” Sergio said to Mandi.
“I’m ready. I cannot believe how much I just ate.”
Mandi and Sergio said their farewell’s for the morning to Diedre and Marcel. The kids hadn’t been there because they were already on their way to a friend’s house for a day outing on their yacht.
