Marco watched with hooded eyes as Monica slipped white lace panties up over her caramel colored hips. This was her second attempt to get dressed. The first time her panties did not make it past her ankles when he picked her up and took her against the wall. Their lovemaking was spontaneous and explosive. They had been secretly seeing each other exclusively for the last five months, but Monica was still not comfortable letting everyone know that they were together. She looked at him and blushed. Monica had made love to this man, the man she loved, several times and the way he looked at her still caused her skin to heat up. “What?” she asked with a smile as she tried to concentrate on getting dressed, her legs were still wobbly from their intense lovemaking session.
“God you are so beautiful,” Marco said barely above a whisper not realizing that she heard him. She blushed again. “We better meet up with everyone before your brother and Victoria send a search party after us,” she joked as he stood and pulled her into an embrace. Their lips connected and she could feel the heat building in her body; she pulled back. “If we go another round, we will miss the anniversary dinner all together.” She wiped traces of her lipstick off his lips. He grabbed her hand and kissed her wrist slowly. “Okay, but we will finish this when we get back.” He released her hand and adjusted his pants to accommodate the growing bulge. “Shall we go?” he asked in a deep sexy tone as he placed his hand at the base of her back and they walked out together.
As they entered the lobby, they ran into Marco’s twin siblings, Francesco and Francesca; they had Dominic and Victoria’s triplets with them. The entire Moretti family and their friends were there to celebrate Dominic and Victoria Moretti’s first year wedding anniversary. They were all meeting at Vic and Nick’s villa before going to dinner.
*****
Victoria looked out at the ocean from the glass doors. She loved this place. They were back at the same villa where it all started. Dominic walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. She leaned back taking in his smell and warmth. “It’s a beautiful view. I really love this place,” she said as she continued to look out at the ocean. She still couldn’t believe that they were celebrating their first year wedding anniversary. He spun her around and kissed her. He heard a knock at the door as it swung open and in ran the triplets. “Mommy Daddy, Mommy Daddy,” they exclaimed as they grabbed their parents around the legs. Dominic reached down and picked up Isabelle and Gabrielle and Victoria picked up Nicky. Marco, Monica, Francesca and Francesco walked in behind the babies.
Dominic whispered in Victoria’s ear, “Tell me again why we didn’t come here alone,” as he kissed her on the cheek. She looked at him and smiled, “Behave; we will have plenty of time to ourselves.” He kissed her on her lips. “You promise?” he asked as he heard his mother and father entering the suite. “Do you two need another room?” Francesca asked jokingly.
“Yes, as a matter of fact we do,” Dominic, said. Victoria smacked him on the butt. “Be good Nick,” she whispered. “Where are we going to dinner, because I have plans afterwards,” Marco said as he smiled at Monica.
Dominic and Victoria gave each other a quizzical look. Maria and her family, along with Rafael and his kids, the other half of the Moretti crew, were due to arrive that afternoon.
“Has anyone seen Jackie and Kevin?” Victoria asked. Jacqueline Bouvier was Victoria’s business partner and one of her best friends; Kevin was Dominic’s best friend who had recently proclaimed his love for Jackie and they have been inseparable ever since. “I went by their suite on our way here and there was a ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign on their door,” Monica said as she looked at Marco and smiled. That look was not lost on Victoria and she would ask her later about her relationship with Marco. Victoria put Nicky down and he began to play with the pile of toys on the floor. Dominic also put the girls down so they could play with their brother.
There was a knock at the door and Jackie and Kevin walked in. “Remind me to lock that door when everyone leaves,” Dominic whispered to Victoria. She leaned into him and kissed him on the lips. “So where are we going for dinner?” Francesco asked. “As soon as Maria and Rafael get here we are going to Sunset Restaurant, they have the most amazing seafood. I know you will all like it; our reservation is for five o’clock and then everyone is on their own;” Victoria said smiling at Dominic. She could not wait to be alone with her husband. She still loved the sound of that word “husband” and tonight she would break the news of the pregnancy to him and hoped he would not be upset.
Maria, Rafael and their families finally arrived and everyone went to dinner to celebrate Dominic and Victoria’s first wedding anniversary. Victoria adored her extended family and whenever possible she loved celebrating with them. Marco ordered champagne for everyone to toast his brother’s union. As the waiter filled everyone’s glass Marco stood to make a toast. “I would like for us to raise our glasses for Victoria and Dominic.” Everyone raised their champagne glasses, except for Victoria; she raised her water glass. All of the females at the table noticed. “I can’t believe it’s been a year already. I knew when I first saw you two together that you were meant to be. The way you looked at each other whe
n you thought no one was looking and how protective you were of each other, I knew it was only a matter of time. I’m so happy that both of you figured it out before it was too late. Here’s to many more years of happiness.” Everyone cheered as Dominic kissed Victoria.
CHAPTER ONE
Marco Moretti stood in front of the sliding glass doors of the villa he shared with the love of his life, Monica Thomas, sipping cognac and looking out into the ocean. This was the last night of their vacation together celebrating his brother, Dominic’s wedding anniversary. At six foot two inches tall, he was slightly shorter than his older brother, but equally as handsome and possessed the same piercing gray eyes, as did all of the Moretti males. Marco’s beautifully sculpted body was the result of the six days a week he spent in the gym. His short tapered haircut and clean-shaven look personified corporate life. His thoughts were of Monica as he continued to gaze over the ocean.
Monica shifted her body in the massive king-sized bed to get closer to the warm strong body she had become accustomed to feeling nightly. She instantly felt the loss as she sat up looking around the posh villa they had occupied for the last week. She padded across the floor into the living room and stopped in her tracts as her eyes locked in on him. She watched him as he looked out into the ocean. Marco stood in front of the glass doors of their villa in his bare feet, wearing only pajama bottoms that hung low on his hips. She walked up behind the man she loved, draped her arms around his waist, and rested her head on his back.
Pressing her beautifully sculpted body against his strong muscular frame, she found the warmth she was seeking. Smiling inwardly, she thought about their lovemaking. While she worked out at least five times a week, she quickly became aware that their lovemaking was sometimes a workout in itself. Marco was constantly pushing their sexual exploration and her body to new heights. Just being near him stirred not only desire in her body, but also feelings in her heart.
Marco smiled. He could feel her presence even before she touched him. The feel of her touch stirred a host of emotions within him as well. Marco adored the contrast of her caramel colored skin against his as he placed his hand over hers. The love he had for her was so strong that it frightened him because he knew he would do anything for her. He turned without breaking contact as he enveloped her in a strong embrace and began to caress her back slowly, while kissing the top of her head.
It was there last night, together in St. Martin. Once they return to the States tomorrow, she was off to Tokyo, Japan to present a proposal for a company interested in moving into the US market. "I'm going to miss you baby," she said while reaching up and softly kissing his lips. "I wish I could come with you, but I have to finalize that acquisition for Dominic," he said while cupping her face with his hands and pressing his lips against hers. His kisses always held promise of fulfillment. "You will be back in three weeks and we will talk everyday while you are there." His tongue delved into her mouth causing her to moan softly. "But tonight I will show you what will be waiting for you when you get back home."
Marco’s kisses moved down the curve of her collarbone as he unbuttoned the matching top to his pajamas she was wearing. He released the top, allowing it cascade to the floor, revealing her beautiful body. He moaned inwardly as he lifted her off her feet, carried her into the bedroom, and placed her on the bed. Unable to take his eyes off her, he stepped out of the pajama bottoms without breaking eye contact. He looked at this amazing woman and still could not believe how lucky he was to have her. "Get in the middle of the bed," he commanded in a deep sexy tone, and she complied. He reached in the side drawer and pulled out a satin blindfold. He laid on the bed next to her, looking into her sexy brown eyes, "Do you trust me?” he asked as he always did right before trying something new. His deep raspy tone caused her entire body to shiver with anticipation as she nodded. “Good,” he whispered in her ear as he placed the blindfold over her eyes. As everything went dark around her she could feel her other senses heightening.
Monica laid there, totally vulnerable but unafraid, only anxious with the prospect. She could hear the crashing waves of the ocean as she waited for what was to come next. She could feel the shift in the bed indicating that he had gotten off the bed. She could hear him return as she felt the bed sink down beside her. Marco gently placed padded restraints on each wrist, then moving to her legs placing each ankle in the same type of restraints. Her entire body was totally exposed and defenseless as she laid in a spread eagle position. She felt a shift of the bed and she knew he was no longer on the bed but she could hear him moving around the room.
The faint smell of cologne teased her senses as she impatiently waited. “Huhh!” She took a sharp intake of breath as the droplets of hot thick liquid slowly hit her breast, stomach then on the folds of her heat. The warmth of the liquid and intensity of feeling caused her to arch her back as she tried to move making her fully aware of her total submission. The smell of honey infiltrated her nose as she felt his soft warm tongue run along the curve of her breast before taking her nipple into his mouth. The surge of desire ran throughout her entire body as he continued the assault with his mouth, moving to her other breast then downward making sure he consumed all of the sweet liquid in his path until he reached her folds.
Marco inhaled deeply taking in the mixture of her scent and that of the honey. He ran his tongue on the outside of her shaven folds, removing all traces of honey before delving in, allowing himself access to her liquefying heat. “You are so wet baby,” he whispered into her pussy as he placed a piece of ice in his mouth and swirled it around her clit. The surge of coldness mixed with her overly sensitive heated clit caused an orgasm to slam into her body without warning. Her entire body began to convulse against the restraints. He used his tongue to apply pressure to her pussy allowing her to feel the full effect of her orgasm until the feeling washed over her. Her labored breathing did not deter the frenzied assault his tongue continued on her pussy. He placed two fingers in her heat, continuously thrusting them into her as she felt his lips surround her clit. “Uhh …Uhh…” she screamed as her body began to shake against the restraints. “Shit baby I’m cum…” She could not finish her statement as the feeling of another orgasm rippled through her body, not as violent as the first but still pleasurable.
He moved on top of her as his hard thighs crowned her hips. He rubbed his hardness against her. She could feel his erection rub against her wet folds sending her body crazy with anticipation. She felt something wet against her lips waiting for access. Realizing it was his fingers, she parted her lips, instantly knowing that they were the fingers that had just thoroughly fucked her. The taste of honey and her essences sent her senses into overdrive as she feverously sucked all the liquid off his fingers. Thrashing her body from side to side, trying to release her legs from the restraints. “Please baby I need…” “Shhh…,” he whispered in her ear. She felt the bed shift and she heard the sound of velcro as he released each of her ankles. He positioned his body between her thighs again. “Wrap your legs around me baby.” She complied feeling the muscles in his ass strain against her legs. His dick was about to enter her pussy when he removed the blindfold. “Look at me baby,” he said in that deep raspy voice that she loved as she complied.
Any shred of control he had was lost with his first deep thrust inside her. The intensity of the feeling caused her to scream out in pleasure. “Fuck . . . baby . . . yess… yess…” His gaze continued to hold her eyes captive as he claimed her lips. Her eyes began to roll back as he felt her pussy begin to milk him. “Look at me baby,” again she complied “Come for me.” His voice was her undoing as another orgasm shot through her body. The feeling of her clamping down on him was his undoing as he grabbed her legs thrusting inside her harder and deeper as he unloaded deep inside her walls. He reached over and removed the restraints from her wrist watching her limp arms fall on the bed. He collapsed beside her, trying to regulate his breathing.
Marco gazed at Monica who was totally exhausted and pulle
d her into a spooning position. “I love you,” he whispered in her ear as he pulled her in tighter. She looked over her shoulder into his eyes. It was still surprising to her that he so easily confesses his love to her. “I love you too, baby,” she said breathlessly as she continued to stare. “You know that we will eventually have to tell everyone that we are seeing each other. I know that they already suspect that something is going on,” Marco said as he looked into her beautiful brown eyes that seem to glow against the soft light shining in the room from the moonlight. “Marc, I’m not ready to let anyone in on our private world.” “Sweetie I don’t think it’s such a big secret now. Dominic already knows I canceled my villa; they have to know where I’m staying.” She smiled at him. “Okay, we will officially tell everyone when I come back from my business trip,” she said as she began to drift off to sleep.
CHAPTER TWO
Once everyone returned to Philadelphia, Monica prepared for her trip and Marco dropped her off at the airport. She kissed him with the promise of calling him later. Monica’s flight landed in Tokyo, Japan and the thirteen-hour time difference caused her to suffer from jetlag. She landed in Narita International in Tokyo and moved quickly to retrieve her luggage so she could get a taxi and get to her hotel. As she walked through the terminal she had to slow down to take in the massive size and the incredible architecture of the airport. You not in Kansas anymore Dorothy! Monica thought as she moved towards the exit. She stopped to retrieve the name of the taxi service that was picking her up when she saw a sign that read, “Welcome Ms. Monica Thomas.”
Monica approached the handsome Asian man holding the sign. “Hello I am Monica Thomas,” she said in Japanese as he smiled. “Welcome to Tokyo. My name is Takeo Yamada.” Monica returned the smile, “thank you.” “Okay I used the extent of my Japanese in one conversation,” she whispered as he retrieved her luggage from her hand. He smiled again. “I can speak English if you prefer,” he said with the sexiest Asian accent she had ever heard. Monica smiled as she handed him the luggage. “So you allowed me to struggle through trying to speak Japanese. I guess that was funny to you?” she asked jokingly. “Not at all; your Japanese is pretty good,” he said with a smile. “The car is this way.”
