Jayda opened her mouth to say something to her new husband but closed it again. She knew why he was keeping his distance and she would allow him to do so. “Where are we going for our honeymoon?” she asked instead.
He turned his dark head to look at her, his eyes skimming her exquisite face. “I was thinking Italy,” he told her briefly. “Have you ever been?”
“No.” She smiled at him her dimples peeking out. “Are you sure it’s safe to go back there?”
He nodded and turned to stare out the window. He did not say anything else and within another half hour they had reached his parents’ place. He got out and came around to help her from the vehicle keeping his hand on hers as they made their way inside. The reception was being held in the ballroom and the decorations were tasteful with an ice sculpture placed dead center in the middle of the floor. A raised dais was placed there for the live band who was already present and turning out tunes. Tables were placed around the sculpture and Alessandro escorted her to the head table. A medium table held a gigantic pink champagne cake with their names decorated on top of it. He made sure she was seated and her dress adjusted before he took his seat. The press had been invited and captured every moment in camera as well as the professional videographer and photographer that had been hired for the event.
They had the cutting of the cake and ate the meal which consisted of Italian and fried chicken along with deep dish casserole, collard greens, and potato salad. When it was time for his speech, Alessandro got to his feet and gave her a brief glance before saying, “On behalf of my wife and I.” He smiled a little at the cheers. “We would like to thank you for making this our special day even more special. And to tell you that as soon as the required dance as a couple is over we are heading out.”
There were catcalls and whistles as he took his seat. Jayda reached for his hand and he squeezed hers lightly. “I need you,” he rasped.
“So do I,” she said softly.
But they were delayed. After they had danced as a couple they were required to dance with several other people and she had to throw the bouquet which was caught by Isabella much to her delight.
“Don’t worry, Mom and Dad, Alec and I have a few more years to go!” she called out.
Then it was time to leave. They would be spending the night at the apartment before going off to Italy and then France for a few days. Alessandro chafed with impatience on the ride over, his desire intensifying as soon as they got nearer. He dismissed the driver and took her hand as they made their way up to the suite. He opened the door and noticed the rose petals leading all the way into the master bedroom.
“Isabella’s doing,” he said in amusement as she exclaimed over them. “I suppose I should carry you over the threshold.”
“I think you should.”
He lifted her into his arms and carried her into the bedroom.
“Would you mind helping me with my buttons?” she asked him as he placed her on the carpeted floor. He almost ground his teeth at the insane amount of buttons there were and set about unbuttoning her dress, his hands trembling slightly. He finished and held the dress for her to step out of it, his breath catching as his eyes roamed over the snug fitting glossy white teddy she was wearing. She had taken off her hat and her shoes and stood there before him. “I am ready,” she said in a solemn voice.
“How about some champagne?” he asked her huskily.
“No.” Her voice was clear and her expression indicating that she was ready for what he had been waiting for. “Maybe later.”
He took a deep breath and started to take off his clothes. She wandered around his huge bedroom, trailing her fingers over the impossibly high king sized bed. There were steps leading up to it and she went around and climbed up onto the bed waiting for him. She had already seen how magnificent his body was and could not wait to explore it and the surprise she had in store for him!
Chapter 12
”I do not want to hurt you,” he muttered as he climbed onto the bed next to her. His hands wandered over her small frame and he had to curb the trembling invading his body. He had never felt this intense wave of emotions in all his life and he was afraid of going too fast, too soon.
“You won’t,” she promised him softly as she reached a hand to touch his chest with the sprinkling of dark hairs there. He started peeling off the flimsy garment, his throat constricting with need as he stared at her small pert breasts with their dusky nipples. He used the pads of his thumbs to pass over them lightly feeling her vibrate beneath his touch. He finished taking off the material and his eyes drifted from her flat stomach to her sex. She had shaved and there was a cute V that narrowed as it went to her mound. “When?” he asked hoarsely.
“Last night,” she whispered.
He used his hand to cup her and she arched towards him, her lips parting and her breath escaping. “Alessandro,” she murmured.
“Soon.” He leaned over and took her lips with his slowly, his tongue searching and tangling with hers. He deepened the kiss as he brought her closer to him, his chest hairs rubbing against her sensitive nipples causing the moan to be lost inside his mouth. He finally dragged his mouth from hers and let his lips wandered down her neck and the hollow there before going to her nipple. Jayda moaned loudly as his tongue flickered over the tight bud. She felt the movement all the way inside her womb and arched her body towards his. He lifted his head and looked down at her, his expression unreadable, his body taut with need. He bent his dark head again and took the next nipple pulling it inside his mouth with a hunger that transferred itself to her. He wanted to taste her, oh he wanted to devour her, but he did not want to overwhelm her during her first experience, he would wait and they had all the time in the world!
He came over her, his thick heavy penis resting between her legs as he looked down at her. “Ready?” he asked her huskily.
For her answer she wrapped her hands around his neck and brought his head down to hers. He distracted her with the kiss while he entered her slowly, his movements hesitant, not wanting to hurt her more than he could. He stopped when he felt the barrier and lifting his head he looked down at her. “I am okay,” she whispered. It was only then that he pushed into her, capturing her cry of pain with his lips. He waited for her to get accustomed to his length and width and she showed him she was by lifting her hips towards him. Alessandro pushed himself into her tightness, his eyes closing as she wrapped around him with the tightness of a well-fitting glove pulling him in and taking everything from him! He did not want it to end, he thought, his mind fuzzy with the emotions racing through him! She had been right! It had been worth the wait. He had dreamed of making love to her so many nights that it had become a part of him. He released her lips as she jerked against him, her fingers digging into the corded muscles of his shoulders.
“Let go, Cara,” he whispered knowing what was happening to her. “I am here.”
She let go immediately, her body trembling, her body jerking against his and a cry emitting from her lips as the orgasm tore through her unsuspecting body with the force of a very powerful hurricane. He followed shortly after as he gathered her hips towards him and buried himself deep inside her, his fingers digging into her soft flesh.
Even though he wanted to make love to her again he knew he had to give her a break. He eased out of her and went to the bathroom to get a towel to wipe the blood, his hands tender as he wiped away the evidence of her innocence that was no more. He looked up at her and their eyes met and held. “How about some rest for now?” he asked her softly.
She nodded, a smile playing around her lips. They would rest up for what she had planned for much later!
*****
He woke up later that night with such an intense feeling of pleasure that for a moment he thought he was dreaming! He came awake slowly and that was when he felt her mouth on him! His dark eyes flew open to see her curved over him, her tongue slowly licking his taut stomach and going downwards. The sleep left him immediately and he raised h
imself up. “Jayda, what are you doing?”
“Giving you pleasure,” she whispered as she continued her downward trend to his pubic area.
“You don’t-” He broke off abruptly his body going rigid as she took his member and swirled her tongue around the reddened tip of his sex sending him into a spasm of pleasure so intense that he shuddered from it. “Christ!” His hands clenched into fists as she took him into her mouth, her tongue leaving wet ridges on his flesh as she moved her head up and down his shaft. How the hell did she know what to do? An innocent like her? He was just about to ask her for answers when she released him to nibble on his testicles sending shockwaves through his entire body. She used the tip of her nail to titillate the tip of his penis forcing the orgasm that had been edging onto him to tremble through him full force! She used her hand to wrap around him and pump the liquid out of him causing it to squirt over him, his body trembling and a shout leaving his throat! She continued to nibble at him tenderly only stopping as he slowly came down off the high she had brought him to. She got off the bed and went to get the towel to wipe the semen off him. His hands were still clenched as he tried to recover from the effect of her mouth on him. Never in his life had he ever experienced something so intense that it almost blew his mind! She could not be that good unless she was not as innocent as she led him and everyone else to believe! His hand snaked out and gripped hers as she made a move to put away the towel. “Where did you learn to do that?” he asked her coldly, his fingers biting into her soft flesh.
“The Kama Sutra,” she told him serenely.
“What?”
“The Kama Su-”
“I know what the Kama Sutra is,” he bit out. His body still felt weak and shaken. “You are telling me that you read the book and it taught you to do that to me? To make me feel like that?”
“From cover to cover. I told you that it would be worth the wait. You have been with too many women to count and I know you have been having sex at a very young age, Alessandro, so I had to find something to be above all those women and I settled on the only book that would help me. I go to church but I live in the world and I have to get the hang of pleasing my husband.”
He stared at her as if he had never seen her before. “You have never given head before?” he persisted.
“If by giving head as you put it I have never gone down on a man’s penis before. You are my first in everything, Alessandro.” She smiled at him innocently. “How did I do?”
“How did-” He stopped and burst out laughing, his dark eyes twinkling with mirth. “You expect me to rate your performance?”
“Kind of,” she said sheepishly, incredibly happy to see his laughter. Something she had never seen before. He hauled her up and over him.
“You were damned good,” he growled. “If I ever have the tiniest inkling that you ever did that to another man then I will not be so amused,” he warned her.
“You are my only man,” she whispered as she lowered her head to his. “My first and my last.” The way she said cause his body to stiffen and his heart constrict.
“Cara,” he whispered as he took her lips with his in a kiss that had her melting against him.

She showed him more by using a bottle of one of his finest wines. She told him to lie still while she slowly dribbled the wine over his body and using her tongue to remove the rich red liquid. By the time she got to his pubic area he was vibrating with so much need that he had to beg her to stop, his voice hoarse inside his throat. With a muffled oath he forcibly pulled her away and switching positions he put her beneath him and sunk himself deep inside her, his body shuddering and his heart thudding inside his chest. “You are going to kill me,” he told her huskily.
“That’s the last thing I want to do,” she whispered as she twined her fingers through his thick black hair. “I want to enjoy you for a very long time.”
He took her lips with his and started moving inside her increasing the pace. Jayda lifted her legs and wrapped them around his waist, her body arching towards his as she gave in to the wonderful experience of having the man she loved giving her the pleasure she had only before dreamed of!

They went to Rome where he had spent most of his life and he showed her the villa where he grew up when his grandmother was still alive. She met some of his cousins and even some of the women he had been more than friendly with. There was one in particular who would not stop eyeing her sulkily. “I have a feeling she is going to scratch my eyes out,” she told her husband mildly as they walked outside the Colosseum the second day they were there.
“Her name is Sofia and we had a brief thing while I was here.” He looked down at her in amusement. “I will shield you if she decides to attack,” he told her teasingly.
“Don’t worry, I can defend myself,” she told him mildly. “You have my heart, Alessandro, and I did not give that lightly. I will never tolerate cheating.”
He stared down at her and saw the expression on her face and sobered up. “I don’t have the stomach for another woman,” he told her softly
“I know.”
They went to Paris after and spent two days there before flying back home.
They were bombarded as soon as they got to the airport. They had to be escorted into a private room in the airport and taken out the back where they were whisked into a vehicle which took them to his parents place.
“Darlings, it is lovely to see you back,” Katarina said as she embraced them both. “How was it?”
“We were hounded by photographers which made it less enjoyable,” Alessandro told her dryly.
“I had fun,” Jayda said her eyes sparkling as she looked at her mother-in-law.
“I am sure you did,” Isabella spoke up as she came into the living room. “You look radiant.” She spared her brother a glance and saw the difference in him. Jayda certainly made a difference.
“Thank you.” Jayda looked towards the doorway as her father-in-law came forward. The man looked so unlike the rest of his family that it was as if he was not part of them. But just as she thought that she saw his wife going over to him and linking her hand through his.
“I think you should stay the night in your old suite, Alessandro. I am afraid I have some things I need to discuss with you,” Adam told his son. “And the press are camped out at your apartment.”
“Just what we need. Do you mind?” he asked looking at his wife.
“Not at all.” Jayda went on her toes and kissed his cheek. “I will amuse myself with Isabella and your mother.”
He looked down at her, his expression unguarded for a moment as he caught her up to him to give her a kiss.
“How about I show you the suite where you can freshen up?” Isabella suggested as she linked hands with the girl. “Mother is going to consult with Pierre about dinner so we can get to talk.”
“I am surprised Alessandro was able to leave all this,” Jayda murmured as she walked around the beautiful and spacious tan and cream suite which consisted of three bedrooms, two baths, and a sitting room with a balcony overlooking the eastern part of the manor.
“He wanted his own space.” Isabella kicked off her sneakers and jumped on the bed. “So how is being married to my brother?”
Jayda sat on one of the sofas and eased her feet out of the strappy sandals she had worn home. “So this is the real reason you brought me in here?” she asked in amusement.
“Part of the reason.” Isabella shook back her curtain of long dark hair. “He looks happy and different and I know it is because of you.”
“I would like to think so,” Jayda said with a gentle smile.
“You are more than just an innocent church goer, aren’t you?” Isabella asked her shrewdly.
“I have no idea what you mean,” Jayda said with a grin.
“My brother is not going to know what hit him,” Isabella said with a laugh.
*****
Adam tossed the proposal aside and gave his son his f
ull attention. “How is it going?”
“You want me to give you a blow by blow account of my honeymoon?” Alessandro asked him in amusement.
“No, just the basics,” Adam said with a smile as he went to pour them something to drink. “Your mother is tiny but she packs quite a punch and people make the mistake of underestimating her. I have a feeling that your new bride is a little like that.”
“You have no idea,” Alessandro commented as he accepted the drink and stared down into it. “She is quite something,” he added looking up at his father. “I am in love with her,” he said slowly as if trying out the word on his tongue. “She is the most unusual woman I have ever met and somehow she has become the most important person to me. I cannot be away from her for long without thinking about her.”
“I am happy for you, son,” Adam said with a pleased smile on his face.
*****
She undressed him slowly, her fingers touching his skin lightly as she removed each article of clothing. They had lingered over dinner and had had wine in the vast living room with the fire blazing cheerfully in the hearth and then Alessandro had told them that he wanted to retire. He wanted to be with her so badly that he could barely keep still and now he was letting her work her magic on him sending him further into spasms of intense desire! “I want to be the one to pleasure you tonight,” he said hoarsely as she finished undressing him. She stepped back and took off the dress she was wearing leaving on the tiny black lace underwear as she stood before him without shame or self-consciousness. She had lost all that when he had taken her virginity. He lifted her into his arms and strode with her to the bed to place her onto it, his eyes roaming her figure hungrily. “I have been thinking of getting you naked ever since we got here,” he murmured softly.
“Alessandro, are you telling me that you are only into me because of the sex?” she whispered huskily.
