she whispered in a sultry voice.
    Allan groaned. He needed an ice pack. Now!

    Italy. I’m
actually out of the States and in another country!
    Riana stepped off the plane and took a deep breath.
The air was warm and relaxing and so foreign!
    There wasn’t much to see at the airport but the little
she did see excited her. She spread her arms out and leaned her head back. “I’m
in Venice!” She kissed her fingers and blew kisses. “ Ti amo Venice, ti amo !”
    Allan laughed behind her but she didn’t care. She was
too happy to care and, in fact, she didn’t mind sharing the love. She wrapped
her arms around his neck and hung on to him so she could lift her legs off the
ground and force him to support her weight.
    “Wow!” He quickly wrapped his free arm around her
waist and held her up against him.
    “Thank you, Allan. No one has ever done anything as
wonderful as this for me.” She planted a short kiss on his lips. “So are we going
to the boat or sightseeing first?” she squealed in a sing song voice.
    Allan chuckled. “You are really excited! I thought
you’d be exhausted after our flight.” He wiggled his brows, a wolfish grin
commanding his face.
    Riana blushed. Allan had carried her to the bedroom
with every intention of letting her sleep. But when she lifted her hands up to
tie her unruly hair, out of the blue, he’d tackled her to the bed, forgetting
all his good intentions. They’d only made love once and right after she immediately
fell asleep. Riana was disappointed when she woke up in bed alone. Once she’d
showered in the tiny plane bathroom and ventured out the bedroom, she saw Allan
was already dressed, a cup of coffee in one hand and a document in the other.
    He looked so focused on it and she didn’t want to
interrupt him. She had breakfast, read a magazine, and even took a nap while he
worked quietly, his complete attention commanded. He had only noticed she was
lying on the couch across from him when the pilot announced their descent. Only
then did he turn to his right, a lazy, sexy smile on his face and a twinkle in
his eye when he saw her. He stood up, crossed over to her, picked her up, kissed
her senseless, and settled her in her seat before he took his next to her. Her
usual anxiety had no room in her butterfly-filled belly.
    “Not so much anymore. I’m too wired to sleep. Allan,
I’m actually in Venice!”
      “No, you are
actually not,” he said laughingly, setting her down on the ground.
    She quirked her brow and stared up at him. “ Huh ?”
    Allan’s jaw tightened and a familiar look flashed in
his eyes. Riana took a cautious step back. As much as she wanted Allan to lock
them up in a room and make love to her for hours on end, she really wanted to
go sightseeing, eat pizza and pasta, and do all the other stuff people did in
Italy. She only had two weeks to do so, and she intended on spending half of it
with Allan in a more vertical position, so that only left a week to experience
the Italian life.
    “Allan, where are we?”
    He took a step closer and she took another back.
“Rome.”
    “Why?”
    “I thought you’d like to see all of Italy,” He moved
fast giving her no time to react, grabbing her around the waist and pulling her
flush against him. He pressed a light kiss on her lips. “First Rome,” kiss,
“Then Siena,” kiss, “Then Florence,” kiss, “Then Bologna,” kiss, “Then Milan,”
kiss, “then Turin.”
    Riana giggled against his lips. “I think you’ll finish
the list faster without the kisses in between.”
    Allan wrapped his arms around her, drawing her up on
her tip toes and placed a long, feather-light kiss on her lips that mashed her
mind for a moment.
    “I’m in no hurry.” He brushed his lips against hers.
“Now where was I… ah , yes. Then finally
Genoa where we’ll take my yacht and sail around the country visiting the cities
and attractions at the coast,” kiss, “Naples,” kiss, “Bari…until we
