He chuckles, then he starts to sing. The lyrics are about being alone and thinking of an unknown woman, about being a dreamer and how hard it is to change and settle down, about a dream that keeps turning out the same, about getting a sign and taking it to the limit one more time.
Then he changes the words up a little. He sings that he's spent all his time making money, but he wants to spend all his love-making time with me because if he lost it all tomorrow, he wants me to still be his.
He isn't looking for freedom. He's found someone who can take him to his limit, who he'll take to her limit—all the time.
When he finishes, I smile. "Ok. That was much more romantic than I first thought it would be, but still not exactly a romantic serenade."
"How romantic a serenade do you want?"
"Swoon-worthy would be nice. Can you do swoon-worthy?"
He grins at me. "Trust me. I can do swoon-worthy.
" Then he looks down at his left hand again as he picks the melody.
I think I recognize it, but I've only heard it played on the piano before, so I'm not sure.
I tip my head, listening. It is! Fuck! This is one of the most romantic love songs ever!
He looks up to see my face as he sings. "She's Got A Way about her.
..." I smile at him and make a heart shape with my fingers.
He closes his eyes and sings from his heart.
His words float into my ears, down into my heart, and I feel every note, every voice inflection, every word.
The first half of the song Aurei sings the lyrics as written.
"She's got a way." But then the last half of the song, he locks his gaze on me and makes it truly swoon-worthy.
He changes the lyrics to "You've." Sweet Zeus!
That's the sweetest thing EVER! When he sings that my smile heals him.
I give him one worthy of the words, knowing he needs healing from something.
I'm just not sure what yet, but we are making real progress together.
I walk over and stand right in front of him.
I lay my hands, one on top of the other, on his knee.
When he is finished, I reach for the guitar, and I hand it back to the young man, never taking my eyes off Aurei's.
When I feel the instrument leave my fingertips, I step into Aurei's cupped hands and close my eyes.
I feel his fingers as they slide along my jawline.
His thumbs stroke my face in the shape of a heart, then as they slide to my ears and neck.
His voice is husky with emotion, and I feel a lump forming in my throat with his words.
"You've got this ... sweet, wild thang about you, Siri.
I can't explain what happened to me the moment I laid eyes on you dancing on that runway, but something did, and my life changed.
You must believe me. You must understand that. I'm not the man I was."
My heart hugs itself as my breath circles it in my chest. Then he tips my face up to his and tenderly lays his lips on mine.
I feel his breath hovering, then he speaks softly to me.
"I changed inside that night. That night, and every night since, I've only desired one woman, Siri Wright, and since I've tasted that one woman, I know I will desire her over and over again.
It just feels so right." He places sweet little pecks on my lips.
"I'm not the man I was. I'm not. I don't know why it happened, and I don't know what happened.
I just know when it happened." My heart, my lips, and my knees tremble, waiting for his kiss.
"I'm so thankful I found you, Baby Thang.
" He rubs my nose back and forth with his.
"Saturday night I told you that was the happiest day of my life.
" He pecks my lips once. "And it was, but then Sunday came along, and it was.
" He pecks my lips again. "Then Monday replaced Sunday.
" Peck. "And Tuesday replaced Monday." Peck.
"Here it is Wednesday, and it is beating them all by a long shot.
" He slides his tongue along my lips and into my mouth, then he withdraws it.
"Look at me, Wild Thang." I open my eyes and focus on his.
The honest sincerity grabs me, and my knees buckle.
His hands grip my ass and hold me steady.
"You asked why I've said you were such an interesting find.
It's because not only do you radiate happiness from your smile, which is, on its own, contagious and beautiful, but you radiate happiness from your entire being.
You radiate a joy for life, an acceptance of it as is, with fearlessness.
You are a wild, free spirit that accepts herself as she is without reservation or guilt.
It is refreshing and so unique in a human.
" He smirks. "When I saw this super sexy, sassy, petite thang dancing down the runway in Vegas, I felt that something special radiating from you, and it drew me like a moth to the flame.
At the time, I didn't know how special you are, but I knew I had to have you.
" He forgets the kiss, and his forehead falls forward, resting on mine.
I tease him. "You knew I made your cock grow needy."
He chuckles and lifts his eyes to mine. "You make me needy for you, for sure. But when we met, and you started opening up to me, I saw someone so special, so interesting, so unique. You are simply stunning, Siri, and I will always cherish you. I want you to stay."
"Maximus Aurelius Moore," I feel the tears laying heavy in my eyes as I cup his face now and smile weakly up at him. "That is the most romantic thing anyone has ever said to anyone, much less me. Truly swoon-worthy."
His eyes crinkle as he barely blows his breath inside my parted lips before his tongue slides in, melting the world away.
The only noise I hear is Rihanna's singing, "Stay" in my mind.
I want to stay with this beautiful man who wants me to stay with him.
His kiss is deep, and I cling to him, feeling his need for me.
He lets it go and buries his face in my neck.
We need each other. We make the other whole.
My mouth finds his earlobe, and I suck it making him moan.
"Aurei, listen to me," I tell him, laying my mouth on his ear so he can hear me.
"You can trust me, Aurei, to stay. I promise.
" His lips find my skin, and he lays them on me.
He nibbles and goosebumps pop out, then he pulls back, and I cup his ears holding his face to mine.
"I truly cherish you, Sugar Bare." He lays his soft kiss on my lips.
His soft breath blows gently in my mouth, then he sucks my bottom lip into his mouth, and his tongue touches it making my pussy pulsate.
"Let's get back to the Hotel. I've got a hot date with a hot guy. "
"Mmhmm."
We tell the young singer "Good Luck" and walk quickly to the metro station.
As soon as we enter, the noise is loud and crazy.
An announcement is made, and Aurei drags me running down to the platforms. We weave in and out of the sparse crowd.
When we stop to walk, he tells me. "I want to get you back to our room, get you naked, and give you your surprise. "
"Oh yeah!" We stop at the edge of the crowd of impatient pushers waiting to board, and Aurei surveys the situation. I bounce around in front of him like a little girl. "If it is half as good as my dance studio, I know I will love it!"
He chuckles. "Bouncy Thang! Did you know your tits dance all by themselves?"
"Of course, I did!" I roll my eyes and laugh.
When the crowd begins to move toward the bottleneck, I grip Aurei's hand tight.
He smiles down at me, takes my hand, and puts it behind his back.
I slide it into his back pocket, resting it on his ass.
He reaches back with his other hand and hooks my arm, pulling my hand out.
He tells me. "I got this." He grips my wrist and pulls my hand around as he turns his back on me, then he wiggles the fingers of the first hand.
Ah! I put my empty hand in it, and he pulls me tight against his ass.
I bury my nose and my tits in his back. Mmm.
He smells like heaven. I lay my hands on his cock, and he covers them with his own.
I can't resist. I tickle him with my fingertips, and his cock hardens.
I grin wickedly at his back then bite a hunk of meat, holding it lightly between my teeth.
His fingers slide between mine, then out, then in.
Damn, that's sensual.
When we begin to board, he moves my hands to his belt loops and hooks my thumbs in them.
When he takes the first step forward, I sync my gait to his.
When we enter the train, the pushy people seem nowhere to be found.
We board without a problem, but he looks back over his shoulder and asks anyway. "You ok back there, Petite Thang."
"Yes, Mr. Competent. I'm excellent."
"Now that's the right answer!"
When the train is full, the doors close, and Aurei holds on to an overhead strap, keeping us stable while I hug him.
Best train ride ever. I think about his sweet words, then wonder how I ever lived without him.
As the tram sways and jerks making its way back to our starting point, I keep my thumbs hooked in Aurei's belt loops.
The noise has a hypnotizing effect on me, and I close my eyes, leaning on my hunk.
It's been such a perfect day.
