I lifted the wine to my lips and drank straight from the bottle, enjoying the light cherry and blackberry bouquet.
Barone chuckled as he spooned a ricotta dumpling dipped in fresh tomato sauce into his mouth. “This right here is the peak of living.”
He wrapped his left arm around my shoulders while he held the spoon up to my mouth with his right hand.
I opened my lips, and he slipped a spoonful of savory ricotta dumpling inside. I licked a drop of tomato sauce from the corner of my mouth, chewing before saying, “You can’t be serious. You’re a cazillionaire. You’ve stayed in… I don’t know… probably golden palaces with golden toilets all around the world.”
“Pretty sure I have, what’s your point?”
I laid my head on his shoulder. “Swigging wine from a bottle while we lay in a bed in what used to be a meat drying shed?That’syour idea of thepeak of living?”
He kissed the top of my head. “It’s not the location. It’s the company.”
I squirmed. “Thiscompanyis still sticky in some unmentionable places.”
He nuzzled my neck. “I’ll lick them later.”
I wrapped my hand around his middle. We fell silent for a few moments as he stroked my back.
He broke the silence. “Areyouhappy?”
I tilted my head back to look up at him. “Yes, very. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been.”
He cupped my cheek as his thumb caressed my lower lip. “You know,dolcezza, this room is sort of where our relationship started… so it would be romantic if….”
I pulled out of his arms. “Nice try.”
“What?”
I snatched up the blanket to cover my naked breasts. “You’re not proposing right now.”
“Amara—”
My ringing mobile interrupted him.
I sprang from the bed and raced out of the room to get it, avoiding Barone’s arm as he tried to snatch me back.
“Dammit woman. Get back here!”
I returned a few moments later and jumped on the bed, straddling him. I wrapped my arms around his neck. “The baby is fine!”
“Milana and Cesare?”
I nodded.
We both laughed and hugged.
He pulled me close and kissed me. I could feel his cock stirring back to life.
“Oh no, you don’t. We have to head back to the villa. Everyone is meeting there to celebrate.”
I tossed Barone his jeans as he grumbled about how much he hated fucking mobiles.
