Bidding on the Billionaire (Bad Boys Billionaire Bachelors Club) (6 page)

“Well,
where are you staying?”

“I
stayed in a guest room last night because I wanted you to get a good’s night
rest and knew I’d be working a lot since I’d just arrived.”

“Where
are you sleeping tonight?”

“I’m
going to stay in the guest room for at least another night. I have a conference
call later.”

“Oh,”
Mandi said.
Damn it.  This man is frustrating.

That
night Mandi decided to retire early and go to sleep, hoping it would take her
mind off the emotional intensity of the day. She’d had so much fun with Sergio
and their afternoon had offered so much promise. Yet, he was sleeping in the
guest room for the second night in a row. I guess agreeing to the arrangement
didn’t mean that he was going to want her all the time or as badly as she
wanted him. Finally, exhausted from thoughts, Mandi fell asleep.

A
stealthy figure snuck into Mandi’s room while she was asleep and quietly
stripped his clothes down, sliding into bed next to her. Mandi awoke to the
feeling of strong arms wrapped around her and a definitely aroused penis
pressing into her back. She paused for a moment, trying to wake up and think. 

The
feel of the muscles was familiar—it was Sergio. Then he began to kiss her neck
and every part of her came awake, responding instantly. Mandi turned around and
could see Sergio’s face accented in the moonlight that cascaded in from the
windows.  His eyes were caring and intense, showing that he was longing for her
just as much as she was for him.

Their
hands roamed each other’s bodies, exploring them hungrily and savagely. As
their lips pressed against each other urgently Mandi found her body responding,
rocking back and forth toward Sergio, writhing in the intensity and passion of
the moment.

Sergio
leaned over Mandi and stared down at her. She looked back at him unable to move
her head.  His chiseled jaw and muscular body were absolutely beautiful, like
one of the Italian statues she’d seen since arriving in Rome. It was at that
moment that Sergio moved his hips forward and entered into her.  It was
incredible.

Using
one hand to balance himself, Sergio took his other hand and gently cupped Mandi’s
breast as he thrust in and out of her. It started out as rhythmic and soothing
like the ocean in the early evening, but quickly progressed to clashing waves
filled with explosions.

Mandi’s
head arched back as she received the orgasms that she’d been dreaming about
from Sergio.  This time she was very awake though and it was a more incredible
sensation than her dreams ever could have imagined. 

After
a bit, Sergio leaned down and let his lips gently graze Mandi’s forehead,
tantalizing her with his sudden delicacy. He leaned in closely to her,
continuing to move back and forth.  Mandi’s hands wrapped around him and she
rocked with him back and forth, helping to bring him to pleasure.  She wanted
him to feel so good and at that moment there was nothing that would be off the
table to make that happen.

As
Mandi opened up her hips more she wrapped her legs around Sergio as he moved
back and forth, allowing him to enter into her deeper. He groaned, whispering,
“Mandi, oh…”  It was too much for him and after Mandi came again Sergio moaned 
in her ear, indicating that he’d just released his pent-up passion for her.

There
was no talking for either Sergio or Mandi as they laid entwined in each other’s
arms. Mandi thought the moment was nothing short of perfection, and she
couldn’t believe how amazing the tryst with Sergio had been.  There were no
awkward moments, getting to understand how the other moved or what they
responded to.  He was fantastic, the best lover she’d ever had.  No she didn’t
have many to compare to, but there were certain things a woman just knew and
the fact that Sergio was an incredible lover was definitely one of them for
Mandi. No wonder why Olivia wanted more. Why would she even stray from that? 
It was an unknown mystery.

“I’m
so glad I came to see you,” Sergio said.  “You are incredibly beautiful and so
responsive.”

“How
could I not respond? That was incredible.”

“Better
than your dreams?” Sergio teased.

“Definitely.”

Mandi
and Sergio drifted back off to sleep, exhausted from sex and content to be in
each other’s arms. When Mandi awoke she found that Sergio was already up.  She
looked at the time and realized that she was starving and they would be serving
the family breakfast in about twenty minutes time. She hurried to get ready and
make her way down stairs. As she saw her reflection in the mirror she smiled,
realizing she was still glowing from the incredible midnight adventure she’d
had the night before.  Better yet, she knew it wasn’t a dream.

Chapter 11

M
andi ate breakfast with a big appetite,
enjoying the fresh baked croissants, homemade jams, and fresh fruit that were
laid out on the table.  Sergio kept looking her way and smiling, casually
touching her hand.  She wondered if that’s what good sex did to a woman, make
her starving the next day.  If it did she welcomed a scrumptious breakfast
every morning.

“So,
did you have a lovely night, Mandi?” Diedre asked.  Mandi looked over to Diedre
and detected a smile upon her face, making Mandi instantly start to blush.  Did
everyone know that her and Sergio had been together last night?  Maybe the
villa walls weren’t as thick as she’d assumed they would be.

“I
did have a fantastic night,” Mandi replied.

“And
you, Sergio?” Diedre continued.

“Most
delightful, Auntie, most delightful,” Sergio said before turning to Mandi to
wink at her.

Marcel
clearly didn’t like the conversations tone and in a gruffer voice added in,
“Okay, we all know that everyone had a great night.  What’s going on for the
day?”

“I’m
going to spend the day with Mandi today so none of you can have her,” Sergio
teased.

“That’s
good,” Diedre said.  “Everything is in place for the celebration tomorrow and
you should relax and enjoy this beautiful country—not just by driving from one
meeting to the next.”

“Excellent
advice,” Sergio replied.

“I’ll
escort you to the room if you’re ready,” Sergio said to Mandi.

“I’m
ready.  I cannot believe how much I just ate.”

Mandi
and Sergio said their farewell’s for the morning to Diedre and Marcel.  The
kids hadn’t been there because they were already on their way to a friend’s
house for a day outing on their yacht. 

“I
hope you don’t mind that I took the liberty of having the valet move my things
back into my room,” Sergio said when they entered into the bedroom suite.

Mandi turned
to look at him, surprised.  “You did?  I don’t mind at all.  In fact, it’s
welcomed because now I find myself to be a woman with some very specific needs
that only you can fill.”

Sergio
didn’t need any bigger hint than that and he swept Mandi up in his arms, taking
her over to the bed.  He tossed her down on the bed playfully and began to
undress her. 

Mandi
tried to get up so he could slide off the t-shirt that she’d put on for
breakfast, but he told her to stay down and be patient.  Patience was not
easily achieved for Mandi now that she had a taste of what was in store for
her.  She listened none the less, enjoying the way Sergio stripped her down.

Sergio
came up from behind Mandi on the bed and slid his hands down the sides of her
small waistline, grabbing the bottom of the t-shirt.  He slowly slid it up,
unlatching her front clasp Kelly green bra with black silk in a single motion
along the way.  Mandi’s breasts sprang to life and Sergio made sure his hands
traveled over them as he slid the t-shirt off.

The
doors to the veranda had been opened and the morning breeze of the ocean
touched Mandi’s skin, making her nipples hard and giving her small goose
bumps.  She was in heaven, but she’d had enough of Sergio moving so slowly and
deliberately.  She was ready for action. 

Sergio
was still dressed and Mandi rolled to her side, unbuttoning his short as
quickly as she could.  She wanted to see every bit of his flesh in the daylight
and in this place, a place where they were all alone without the risk of
interruption.

There
was no stopping Mandi and Sergio didn’t try.   Mandi could tell that he enjoyed
her aggressive approach because it showed in his arousal and the look on his
face.  As soon as he was naked Mandi went and straddled herself on top of him,
not wasting any time to slide his erection into her deeply and start riding him
back and forth. The feel of him inside her drove her crazy with want for him,
and she rode him fast and slow, wiggling her hips until he groaned.

Her
hips moved in sync with Sergio’s and she stared down into his sexy hazel eyes,
not wanting to lose sight of their intensity.  They were alive and sparking,
playful and sexy.  They represented everything that Mandi wanted at that
moment.

Mandi
felt herself preparing to climax and she thrust her head back, feeling her long
loose hair on the small of her back as she did so.  Sergio’s hands were braced
on her hips, pushing her harder against him.

After
she came, Mandi surprised Sergio by turning around and starting to ride him
from behind.  He caressed her ass as she slid back and forth on him, leaning
forward and using his feet to brace herself for deep thrusts on him.  “Oh my,
Mandi.  That’s incredible, Oh…”

Mandi
felt the wetness of satisfaction between her legs and knew that it wasn’t just
her orgasms that had created it, but Sergio’s had too.  Their second encounter
didn’t disappoint at all.

Sergio
helped guide Mandi off of him and turned her around so he could see her.  Mandi
was smiling and her hair looked wild now, parts of it clinging to her face and
other parts completely disheveled.

“You
look fucking beautiful.  You know that?” 

Mandi
just smiled, not knowing what to say.  “And I also find that you are even more
full of surprises.  Where did you learn to do that last little trick?”       

Mandi
laughed.  “I’m sad to admit that it was in Cosmo magazine—reading that magazine
is my guilty little pleasure.  It’s nice to finally use one of the techniques
that I’ve read about.” 
Filter…you don’t have to let him know that you’d had
that long of a dry spell.
           

“You’re
welcome to try any of them on me,” Sergio said.

“I
accept.  You really do have the spirit of Benvenuto running through you,” Mandi
teased.          “It’s time for us to get ready for the day.  Why don’t you
take a shower first and I’ll go and catch up on some calls that I need to make
quickly.  Sound good?”       

“What
are we going to do?” Mandi asked.

“We’re going
into Rome to go shopping for your dress for the anniversary celebration.”

“Sounds
fun.  You are certainly welcomed to shower with me though,” Mandi added,
raising her eyebrows playfully at Sergio.

“I
fear I’d never leave this room again. Maybe after the celebration we’ll lock
ourselves away and celebrate how fantastic our arrangement is.”

“It’s
a deal.  I could really get used to starting my mornings off with this kind of
sizzle. Beats reading the newspaper and drinking a cup of coffee.”

Sergio
laughed and walked over to Mandi to give her a hug.  He leaned back and placed
his arms on her shoulders and said, “I’ll meet you downstairs by the library in
an hour.” Then he leaned in and kissed her passionately with his tongue delving
into taste her. She kissed him back, wanting more of him. They kept kissing for
a few minutes longer until Sergio pulled back and said, “While I’d like to kiss
you all day, we have to get some things done.”

The
hour went by quickly and Mandi was downstairs, ready to go.  She’d put her hair
in a French ponytail, knowing that was the easiest way to keep it tidy if she
was trying on clothes today.  She wondered what it would be like to shop with
Sergio.  She knew what it was like to shop with Sophia, but Sergio should prove
interesting too.  He obviously knew a lot about women’s fashion and what looked
good on a woman.  It would be interesting to see what he thought would look
good on Mandi.

The
drive into Rome was interesting and quick.  The Ferrari really could handle
anything without a whole lot of effort, just like it’s driver. The conversation
was fun and casual as they made their way into the city, with Sergio telling Mandi
all about Via Cola di Rienzo, the high end street with the most exciting
boutiques on it.  One of them carried the highest line of La Bella Donna in it
too, Sergio mentioned to Mandi.  She noticed a spark in his eyes when he
mentioned it. Making it to one of those boutiques was obviously a great honor
in the fashion world.

“Are
we going to pick something out for me from your line?”

“Maybe,
but not necessarily.  If I’d have known I’d have such a divine beauty on my arm
for the anniversary celebration I would have had our designers put together
something exclusively for you.  Even though there isn’t time for that I have no
doubts that you’ll be the gem of the celebration.”

Mandi
was completely enjoying the lavish attention and praise that Sergio was giving
her.  He was making her feel like a queen and it was exciting.  Things got even
more interesting when they walked in to the first boutique shop together. Everyone
immediately went up to Sergio, saying, “Good day, Mr. Leon.  How may we help
you?”

“I
want you to help Mandi out in every way possible.  If she sees something she
wishes to try on help her out and please speak English if possible,” Sergio
said. Mandi didn’t really know what he was saying at that moment because he
spoke Italian to the staff, but she recognized her name rolling off Sergio’s
sexy lips and it had never sounded better before.

Mandi
loved shopping, but was a bit shy about shopping at the boutiques.  She didn’t
have the type of money to pay the prices they were asking and while things were
lovely they were not affordable. She didn’t want to waste anyone’s time,
especially Sergio’s.

Seeing
a pair of sunglasses on a shelf display Mandi picked them up and put them on.
They were amazing. They had wire rims with thick sides and gemmed butterflies
upon them.  They were fun, wild, and flirty.  She smiled at herself in the
mirror, pleased with how they looked on her. Then she took them off and noticed
the price tag. They were $500.00 US dollars and definitely out of her budget. She
may be with a Leon family member, but she didn’t have access to the same cash
as them.

“Those
look fantastic on you,” Sergio said.  “We must get them.”

Mandi
blushed, not liking that she would have to confess just how different their
financial leagues were at that moment. She leaned in to Sergio and whispered, “I
can’t afford these, Sergio. Yes they are amazing, but they’ll just have to be
amazing on some other lucky woman.”

“Nonsense,
Mandi,” Sergio immediately rebutted.  “I have taken you to Rome for a date and an
amazing adventure. Shopping is a part of it.” Before Mandi could say anything
else Sergio looked over to the staff, which were all listening attentively, and
told them to put it on his store credit.

Ten
minutes later they were walking out of the boutique and Mandi was sporting her
new sunglasses.  She felt like royalty herself and decided to put the thought
of Sergio spending all the money he was on her out of her mind.  He offered and
she didn’t ask, she reminded herself.

Mandi
found that the next four boutiques all did the exact same as the first.  They
acknowledged Sergio and some of the younger woman blushed and hustled around at
his every command. It most have drove them crazy that they were waiting on
Mandi though and she couldn’t blame them for thinking she was a heck of a lucky
woman.

It
was so much fun and the highlight came when they found the perfect dress for
Mandi at one of the boutiques.  She couldn’t even believe how amazing it was
and it was more formal than any dress she’d ever worn before.  Sergio told her
that the dress was a true original, just like Mandi, and made for her.  She
looked exquisite. It was a strapless dress with a plunging neckline that really
pushed up Mandi’s already ample cleavage and the back plunged down even
further, showing the small of her back.  There were emerald gems on the dresses
bodice that sparkled in the light and the black fabric underneath made them pop
out even more.  As the dress went down it hugged Mandi’s curvy hips perfectly
and then flared out as it extended toward the ground, revealing a slit on one
side that couldn’t help but draw attention to Mandi’s lean muscular legs.

The
dress was incredible enough, but when Sergio helped her pick out the
accessories she saw just why he was one of the best.  He had an eye for original
pieces that would go together.  It started with a beautiful comb for Mandi’s
hair that had a peacock feather in it that was the exact same color as the
emeralds on the dress, not to mention Mandi’s inviting green eyes. The shoes
were strappy and divine, making Mandi five inches taller and more statuesque
than she already was.

By
the time the shopping adventure was over Mandi had lost track of just how much
she had gotten from Sergio.  They hadn’t had to carry any parcels around
because the boutiques would deliver it right to Benvenuto.

That
night by the time sleep came, Mandi was exhausted and utterly happy.  She
couldn’t have asked for anything more.
