Norah couldn’t quite take it all in. “It’s unreal …” The villa itself had huge glass sliding doors on almost every wall, even in the bedroom. Giacomo smiled at her raised eyebrows. “The perks of being the only ones here,” he said. “At least at night.”

He slid his arms around her. “I can fuck you all night long with the windows wide open and no-one would hear your cries as I make you come again …and again …and again …”

She moaned as he trailed his lips across her cheek and fixed them onto her mouth. It was a matter of seconds before he had tumbled her to the cool tile floor and spread her legs. “What do you taste like today, beautiful?” He grinned before his mouth found her sex, his teeth grazing her clit before he lashed his tongue around it. Norah shivered and closed her eyes, losing herself in the sensations as his tongue dipped inside her. Then she felt him slip two fingers inside of her and begin to rub as he sucked at her clit, nipping it gently between his teeth. Norah moaned and writhed as she became unbearably aroused and her back arched up as she came, hard and long. Giacomo moved swiftly, plunging his cock into her as she was still coming, and she almost screamed at the sensation of his huge, thick cock filling her.

“I’m going to nail you to the floor,Principessa,” he growled and began to fuck her hard, thrusting with intense, long movements and watching her expression as Norah, half-crazed, orgasmed again and again.

When his own moment came, he pulled out and ejaculated onto the soft skin of her belly. Norah smiled, her fingernails digging into his thighs as he pumped the thick, hot semen onto her. “God, you make me crazy,” he groaned, “Norah …ti amo …ti amo …”

Tears began to drop down Norah’s face from the sheer passion in his voice. “I love you too,” she whispered. “Giacomo, so,somuch …”

She couldn’t imagine ever being anywhere but here, now, in this moment, and as they made love long into the night, neither could imagine life with the other.

But of course, fairytales always,alwaysend …

Two weeks later, Norah opened theAnthologyearly, still energized from her vacation. She and Giacomo had professed their love for each other again and again in their holiday idyll, and now she had some major news to share with Zulika.

Zulika, her blue eyes crinkling with smiles, greeted her a half hour later. “Hey, you,. You look amazing. That man is better than any makeup.”

Norah laughed. “No arguments here.” She bent down to hug Ziggy. “How’s my big boy?”

Zulika stuck her tongue in her cheek. “So many jokes, so little time,” she quipped, then went to the door as a delivery van pulled up. “Uh-oh, I think this one’s for you.”

A man bearing an enormous bouquet of exotic flowers came staggering into the bookstore. “Miss Reddy? For you.”

Between them, Norah and Zulika wrestled the bouquet onto a table and thanked the delivery driver. “Don’t need to ask who they’re from.” Zulika buried her nose in them. “God, heavenly. I take it these are all native to your island?”

Norah, smiling, nodded. “I saw them all there. God, how lovely.”

Zulika fished the card out and handed it to her. Norah opened it.

I love you. That is all.

Yours always,

G. x

(p.s. the hibiscus reminds me of something…)

Norah giggled and the card to Zulika, who rolled her eyes. “You two are like a full-on porn movie.”

Norah shrugged. “Pretty much.” She snagged her phone from her purse. “How very Georgia O’Keefe of you,” she read aloud as she wrote a text message to Giacomo, “Thank you for the beautiful flowers …come play with my hibiscus anytime. I love you.”

Zulika cackled with laughter. “Seriously, No-No, that man has unleashed your inner slore.”

Norah pretended to be affronted. “Excuse me, I happen to be a strumpet.”

“A harlot.”

“A lady of disrepute.”

“A trollop.”

That made them both giggle so much that they couldn’t speak for a while. Zulika wiped her eyes and Norah cleared her throat.

“Actually, I do have some other news.”

Zulika’s eyes immediately dropped to Norah’s flat stomach and Norah grinned. “Slow your roll there, cowboy. I’m just moving in with Giacomo is all.”
