CHAPTER TWENTY

We check-in at the restaurant and stand waiting for our table. Aurei pulls me into his embrace and says as he sticks his nose in my hair. "I was worried when you were gone. Why didn't you wake me?"

"I apologize. I was thinking of my return routine and realized I have to have a place to dance here if I'm going to be ready. I thought I would meet Franco and ask if there is somewhere in the hotel. I intended to be back before you woke up. So tell me what the surprise is!"

"I want to show you. You'll have to wait. What happened with Elena?"

"Nothing. I ran into her in the hall. She wanted to see you. I told her no. We came down to see Franco together. He was standing at the elevator, apparently looking for me or maybe you. Then Antonio appeared out of nowhere, and you emerged from the elevator, looking like thunder incarnate."

He chuckles. "Only where you are concerned."

The hostess tells us our table is ready, and we follow her.

Aurei holds my chair for me. He positions me facing the kitchen and himself facing the entrance.

I notice her watching Aurei's ass as he leans over to push the chair, and I don't think anything unusual about it.

I would stare too at that perfect fucking muscle on display.

Would? I grin at her. Hell... Do. But then she continues to stare after he takes his seat, and I realize she's staring now at my tits.

Maybe she's bi. I smile at Aurei and decide to ignore her.

Aurei orders us two dark beers, and she hands him the menu, smiling at him, then she takes off.

"You do drink dark beer, don't you?" He asks, a little put off.

"Yes, but not too often. I don't like the bloated tummy it gives me."

"There is so much to learn about each other." He shakes his head.

"It's a little overwhelming, isn't it?"

"Lucky for you, I have this steel trap." He taps his head.

"So I was told that first day." I giggle. I look over Aurei's shoulder at the hostess standing in the back of the restaurant, pointing our table out to a huge, African American male. He starts towards us, and the closer he gets, the bigger he looks. He is huge!

"What's wrong?" Aurei asks as he turns to see what I'm staring at.

He stands quickly and positions himself between me and this monster of a man.

When the giant gets a few tables away, he stops, waves his hand for Aurei to step aside, but Aurei doesn't. He stands firm, so the big man leans over sideways, then he bursts into a big grin.

It lights up the room, and Aurei looks confused from him to me.

I shrug. "I don't know either."

The big man burst into a deep rumbling laugh. "Well, I'll be damned!" Then he lifts his right arm, bends it at the elbow, then straightens it at me several times.

I'm floored, but I automatically return his Tomahawk Chop and say, "Go Noles!"

He walks up, holds his hand out to shake, and introduces himself as Henry, the Chef.

"I'm a graduate of Florida State University, Class of 1995.

What a small world sometimes." He tells us.

"When Rita came in and told me she recognized my school on a shirt, I had to come to see for myself.

" He stays to chit-chat for just a few moments, takes our order, and laughs when we tell him pizza.

He promises to give us an Italian pizza American style with everything on it.

"If I had a little Gator tail, I'd add it too, but I don't." He winks at me, and we laugh, then he returns to the kitchen.

During our meal, I tell Aurei more about myself and going to school at FSU.

When we finish eating, we leave to discover Angelo waiting in the lobby for us.

I watch as they hug, then Aurei whisks me away immediately to the car, where it is warm.

It's a Maserati Quattroporte. Very nice ride!

When Angelo climbs in, he introduces himself quickly and starts the tour as soon as he faces forward.

He's a 'big talker,' and for the next few hours, he entertains us with the history and stories of the Eternal City.

We ride all over Rome, and my nose stays glued to the window.

I can feel Aurei's hand running up my back, around my ass, then back down.

I slide under his arm and snuggle between sights then my nose is right back on the window.

When we return to the hotel, it is late and freezing.

Angelo pulls up to the curb but doesn't get out.

I thank him for the fantastic tour as Aurei slides out and holds the door for me.

"I can't thank you enough. It was unbelievable!

You are so knowledgeable!" I lean up over the seat to kiss him on his cheek.

Aurei sticks his head in and laughs. "Hurry up, Sweet Thang. It's cold out here."

"Yes, sir." I giggle as I slide out. "Thanks, Angelo.

See ya!" Aurei sticks his head back in and has a conversation with Angelo.

I look to see that the doorman is holding the door open for me, but I wait for Aurei.

Immediately I begin to shiver and start jumping up and down to stay warm.

When Aurei closes the car door and turns around to see me still there, he grabs my hand and drags me, running behind him to the entrance.

The doorman is still holding the door open when we approach.

We hurry through the lobby and up the stairs to the elevator without stopping.

I'm giggling and shivering while we wait on it to arrive.

Aurei rubs my arms up and down, creating warmth with friction, and I start bouncing up and down to help.

His eyes watch my tits flowing up, dropping down, returning, then repeating, and they get hooded, but his voice stays playful.

"I can see your beautiful hard tits pushing against your bra right now. "

"Really?" I ask as I stop bouncing and look. "No, you can't." I swat at him.

He laughs and wraps me in his arms. "I can because I know they are, and I know what they look like.

Beautiful. Round. Hard. Pushing out. Wanting me to taste them.

" When the elevator arrives, his words have warmed me, and I stand looking out from his embrace, watching as twenty people file past. I hear Angelo's words about their ancient history and culture and see them in a whole different light.

These people are Romans. Descendants perhaps from the leaders of the first democratic statesman, or Roman soldiers, warriors who fought fearlessly on the field of battle for the Roman Empire, or from Gladiators, foreign warriors, or slaves forced to fight.

Several other couples join us waiting, and when the elevator is empty, Aurei pushes me forward, not releasing me from his embrace.

I can feel his erection pressing into my butt as he maneuvers us to the back corner, where he traps me under his big wingspan and the wall.

I turn to face him and see a sexy smile on this face.

I smile back, knowing he won't touch me in here with all these people around but knowing he wants to.

We wait quietly and patiently as the elevator fills.

A man by the panel box asks a question. Several people answer with one-word answers, and the man pushes buttons selecting the floors.

As the elevator rises, Aurei's seduction begins.

He leans his head down to my hair and breathes deep, then blows his breath out on my ear.

He whispers in it. "Ah, you smell delicious enough to eat.

" My tits push against my bra, scratch against the fabric, sending my clit a wake-up call.

It is tender from the spanking it received, and I shift my weight so it won't rub against the seam of my jeans.

I inhale the essence of Aurei and blow my breath as if exhaling cigarette smoke onto his neck.

He grins. "I think I might have a midnight snack later.

Something warm and wet to hold me over until breakfast."

My eyes are glued to him, but like a blind person tuned into my surroundings, I sense rather than see the others around us.

No one appears to be the least concerned with the seduction occurring in the corner.

He presses his erection closer, and my hands come up to touch his chest. They lay on his soft but hard pecs, and I dig the tips in like a purring cat.

My fingers are cold, and even through his shirt, his skin feels like fire.

My pussy lurches at the thought of his hot body pressed against mine under the covers of the bed tonight, then waking to his mouth having me for dessert.

I feel his heart beating against my palm, and I imagine his tongue as it flicks my clit to that spanking rhythm.

I savor this flash of a fucking fantasy, and I hear a hum escape my own throat.

I look up to see Aurei smiling down on me.

His lips part and slide up, over his even white teeth.

His tongue touches the corner of his mouth.

I close my eyes, and I feel his face closing in on mine.

First in the muscles against my hand, then in the heat of his skin on my face.

Next, the slight change in the displaced air, then on the tiny white hairs on my face.

I hear his lips moving as his smile turns into a kiss, and I lift my lips to receive it.

He places his warm, wet, soft, and firm kiss on my nose.

I hear him hum then say. "Your nose is cold, Sweet Thang.

" He pulls me into his embrace and hugs me tight to him.

He whispers in my ear, and the sound is sexy and seductive.

"The first thing we shop for tomorrow is a nice warm coat for you. "
