"Ciao, Antonio."He starts down the stairs again but stops to listen.He continues when he talks but pauses when he listens.
What could be so bad about his alter ego that he would think I would walk out on him?Fucking nothing!I slide my hands down into his pants to feel his perfect fucking muscle.The rolling and flexing!Ah!Sweet Zeus, I loved watching him fuck me in the mirror.I'm not letting him go.I just found him.
He puts his phone in his pocket."Your hands are cold."
"I know I'm warming them up.Thanks."I dig my fingers in his ass, and he chuckles."Aurei..."I feel his hands on my waist.He lifts, and I flex as he pushes me up over his head.I stare down into his eyes.My hair, draping us like a curtain."We both have complicated secrets."He lowers me down to his lips, and I peck them."Don't forget who I am in Vegas.I'm the COO of Fucking Fantasies.I've given orgasms to literally hundreds of people, and I have done some extreme fantasies too.I doubt if you will even shock me, and I'm pretty positive nothing you could do would be so bad I would want to give up what I've just found with you.I'm pretty sure you're stuck with me."He sets me down and hugs me.His hand touches mine, and it opens to him.
?That golden hand.I slide my fingers between his.

"Did you peek in here?"I ask, changing the subject.
"Yes."She looks at the door."You obviously own the whole building.Is the apartment yours?"
"Yes.I started renovating it and intended to finish working on it while I was here, but some blonde bombshell showed up in my life and changed my plans."
She giggles as I walk over to the door."This is the apartment where my grandmother lived when she was a dancer."
"Crucial!"
"Would you like to see inside real quick?"I don't wait for an answer.I open the door, and she glides through.Roaming from room to room, not waiting on me, hitting the lights, she investigates the eight large rooms and the six smaller rooms I've framed, the large living area off the huge kitchen that has its own dining area.
"There is still a lot of work to be done."My voice echoes through the empty rooms."I need to finish the kitchen layout and the flooring.I haven't decided yet if I'll cover all the original walls or leave them bare where I can."
When she returns, she holds my arm up and tucks herself under it."Well?What do you think?"I ask.
She leans in."I love it!It's fantabulous!"
I kiss her hair."This is going to be ground zero home."
She places her hand on my chest."This was supposed to be a Sunday confession, wasn't it?"
"Yes.It was going to be."I pinch her chin, tip her face up and kiss a heart around her face as she asks.
"Have you decided to live in Italy then?Full time?"
"Had decided, but not full time.Until you, I intended to live here some, and in Alabama some."
"And now?"
"Now Vegas too."
"Ah!That's music to my ears!"
I squat down and open my arms."Jump on.We have a driver waiting on us who has a family waiting on him."
She jumps into my arms and wraps herself around me.I carry her through the door and then lock it."Want to finish the design of it with me?"
"Hell to the fucking yeah!What kind of crazy-ass question is that?"
I laugh out loud and head down the stairs."Have you ever designed an apartment before?"
"Yes!I designed my condo.I can't wait to show it to you!You're going to love it!"She plants a wet kiss on my cheek."My second love is Architecture and then the Arts.I couldn't decide what I was going to major in in college.If Architecture hadn't required a six-year grind, I would have chosen that route.I'm going to lay in bed every night and dream up wild shit for you."
