him to Milan. You have qualities that Aime could never hope to have. Don’t underestimate yourself.
    I know something of Tanner’s history. No one can blame him. With all that money and good looks, he’s had women falling all over him. I don’t think it’s gone to his head though.
    I’ve heard of his off-beat tastes, sexually. Women talk, you know. And he is a high-profile bachelor. Let him guide you. Men, especially dominant men, like to mold and shape. You don’t have to come to him with years of experience. If I don’t miss my guess, he prefers that you were completely innocent. That’s got to be good for his ego.
    Is this relationship something you want to be involved in? He’s not hurting you, is he?” Cheryl inquired.
    “No, no he’s not. He wouldn’t do that. I trust him. I’m not leaving this relationship. I can’t imagine being with any other man. If I can be what he needs….,” Natalie’s voice dropped off.
    “Just enjoy yourself. That’s what Tanner needs,” Cheryl told her, sagely.
    Natalie felt much better after talking to Cheryl, having shared her concerns. She knew Cheryl had much more experience with men and had survived it well. She must know a thing or two. What she’d told her made sense. Natalie was enjoying herself. Possibly, she shouldn’t be. So much of what they did would be considered taboo.
    It was their relationship. Others judgment shouldn’t affect them, only how they felt about each other mattered. Natalie knew how she felt. She wasn’t sure about Tanner. He was hard to read. For now, he wanted her and she was happy about that.
    There were several hours to wait before seeing Tanner. A pang of homesickness struck and she called Jazzy, who wanted to hear everything about Milan. Natalie told her what she could in a quick overview, promising to fill her in more, as soon as she got back to New York.
    Jazzy passed the phone to her mom and Natalie’s heart wrenched. Emma’s weak voice revealed her failing condition. Natalie had always been the backbone of the family, so she felt guilty over abandoning her mother at this vulnerable time. She promised to visit soon and hung up, feeling sad.
    She spent the rest of the morning working on her design sketches. In the quiet and solitude, her creative mind soared, fueled by the aesthetic tone of fashionable Milan. Seeing all the trendy designs at the fashion show, and during her shopping excursion, had been the spark that ignited a whole new line she intended to create.
     

17 – Romantic Milan
    For the rest of the time in Italy, Tanner managed his meeting and business engagements, yet still found time to take Natalie to some of the most beautiful places in Milan. They ate at classy restaurants with fresh, local Italian food and drank wine that was, truly, nectar of the gods.
    On two occasions, Tanner drove hi s glossy, red Ferrari through the countryside. Once, he drove her to Lake Como, with starkly white stucco Italian buildings, on a hillside projected out into the lake. It was as beautiful as romantic scenes she’d seen of Greece, with the blue water and the bright sky.
    The other time they cruised through the green hills of Lombardy on the outskirts of Milan. She enjoyed seeing how the Italians lived outside the big city. Tanner got a thrill by opening the retractable top, turning the classy Ferrari into a convertible and driving fast over the country roads.
    It was the only time they went out with out bodyguards. It was nice to be alone, just the two of them, enjoying Italy at its best.
    When Tanner was involved with business, he had his staff see to her every need. One afternoon, she went to the Armani spa, remembering Cheryl’s recommendation. It was the height of luxury, and she was pampered beyond belief. Once again, she was presented with the option of a full body wax. Tanner had never urged her to do it. She was curious, but it seemed so drastic. Although tempted, she declined.
    Sex became more intense each night.
