He puts his arm around me and leads me towards Antonio's car."You are truly an interesting find."

"And don't forget full of sexy surprises."

"That's an understatement."He draws me up tight and kisses the top of my head."What am I going to do with you?"

"Mmm.I can think of so many things!"

"Come on.I need a cold shower and food before we go out."He opens the car door for me.

I slide in the back of a black Ferrari FF.Gorgeous."Thanks for coming to our rescue, Antonio."

"There was nothing to rescue you from.The street was empty when I arrived."

"I guess we could have taken the bus after all, but then I wouldn't have an opportunity to ride in this exquisite car.You have excellent taste."

"Mmhmm."He says as Aurei climbs in the front next to him, leaving me alone in the back.

Before they can speak to each other, I say."Look, Aurei.Antonio brought the 'get away' car!"

Aurei chuckles and turns to look back at me.I wink at him and ask Antonio."I know this bad boy will get out of here real quick.Can we pretend we are fleeing?Please!"I stick my head between the bucket front seats and wait.

He glances at Aurei, who nods, then he stomps the gas.The car leaps, literally leaving my stomach behind.I squeal with delight!"Weeeee!Fucking A!This is fly!How fast?How quick?"I ask as I settle into the cushy seat.

"She will leap to 100 kph in 3.7 seconds, and she'll scream to a top speed of 338 kph."

Aurei says, "That's 62 mph from a dead stop in just 3.7 seconds, and 208 mph screaming top end."

"Whoot!Whoot!Can we take her out of the city and stretch her out?"

Antonio glances at Aurei."I'd love to boss, but Gio is waiting for me."

"Ah!Bummer.Maybe another time.This girl is gorgeous."I run my hand over the soft leather."Apologize to Gio for our interruption too."

Aurei smiles at me, and they exchange a look, but they begin to discuss the gang issues in the city while Antonio drives back to the Hotel.When he parks, he hands the keys to Aurei."Ciao, Siri.See you later tonight."

"Fantastic!Where are we going?"

"Ha!"He looks at Aurei."I'm not telling!"

"That's a good man, right there."Aurei winks at me.They both get out, and my good man opens my door.

"Is midnight still good?"Antonio asks as he backs away.

"Yes, see you then."Aurei answers, and Antonio throws up his hand in acknowledgment.Aurei reaches in to get me."Come on, Sweet Thang.Let's go eat, get your surprise, then I'll drive you around inmycar as fast as you want to go before we meet Yanni and Antonio."

"Oo La La!This hot car is yours?I should have known.It suits your Maximus persona."I tease him as we walk into the Hotel.

The doorman opens the Hotel door for us, and I pass through then wait for Aurei, who gives him the car key for valet parking."Wickedly fly wheels, Sugar Bare.Truly wickedly fly wheels!"

CHAPTERTHIRTY

In Michael's, we sit at a cozy table in the corner.Candles offer a dim, romantic light as the sun sets.Aurei orders us both Veal Parmesan and Lambrusco wine.When the waitress brings the bottle, he waves her away and pours it."Now that I know you better and all the contortions your body can perform, I'm looking forward to enjoying the Publix bottle of Merlot with you back in Alabama."

I grin at him."I've got real plans for sharing that bottle.I assure you it will be unlike anything you have ever enjoyed before."

He raises his glass to toast, "Here's to Wright."

I clink it, "Here's to Moore."
