Chapter Twenty-nine – ‘Morning exercise’

She woke a couple of hours later, shivering slightly and realized she was cozy in Ramon's arms but they were still outside and naked, and it had turned slightly cooler throughout the night. She glanced around, seeing if there was anything she could use to cover them because she sure didn't want to leave his arms but the movement woke Ramon up.

 "What is it?" he asked in that adorable rough and raspy sleepy voice which only made her grin.

 "I'm cold and the shivering woke me up."

 "Oh, I did not mean to fall asleep out here. It is gorgeous but all the water makes the nights colder. Come; let us get you inside and into bed." With an ease she didn't know he had, he climbed out from behind her and lifted her effortlessly into his arms. "The bed is a much better place to sleep anyway."

 "It usually is. You know, more comfortable, something to cover yourself with, those sort of things." He grinned at her smart ass comments and laid her down, her body still naked. And though she usually wouldn't sleep that way, she had no problem doing that now and with him.

 He climbed into bed next to her and she was wondering if she should move closer. Sure they snuggled before, but they weren't naked and they just hadn't made love either. But the choice was taken out of her hands when Ramon wrapped his arm around her and pulled her close. She smiled as the steady beat of his heart lulled her back to sleep and she really was questioning how she would fall asleep in the many nights of her future alone and without this simple comfort.

 Jeanette groaned as the sun peeked into the room and caught her right in the face. She tried to turn around to avoid that evil light but a heavy arm around her waist kept her from turning. She must have been way too tired last night because she never mentioned to Ramon to close the blinds. And as she glanced over her shoulder at him, she could tell that the morning sun wasn't bothering him. However, she could feel something else that was waking up against her backside.

 She glanced again at him and saw his eyes closed and heard the deep and even breathing. Ramon, much to her delight, was still fast asleep. She shifted a bit, wanting to be able to rub against him to wake him up a little more. The hand that was resting on her stomach clenched slightly and she stopped. She waited another moment or two and when she heard nothing nor felt nothing, she wiggled again,

 "Cara mia, I suggest you stop that, unless you do not want to get out of bed this morning?"

 "You mean that you have not had enough of me yet?" He shifted so that he was right behind her and the hand that was on her stomach was now cupping a naked breast.

 "I said I wanted all weekend to seduce you Jeanette, and that meant all weekend; not just parts and not just here and there." His breath fanned the back of her neck and she shivered; both from that and from his words. No man had wanted to claim her like he did and that alone did things to her body. "Believe me, innamorato (sweetheart), if I could keep you in bed and loving on this body the whole weekend, I would. But you do need some rest and I do want to show you some parts of Venice in a little bit."

 "And until we leave, what do you suggest we do?"

 "You, my beautiful woman, are going to help me take care of this morning problem I have." His lips trailed along the back of her neck as his fingers rolled her nipple between them. He was learning fast the things that quickly turned her on. And she was not about to object. He lifted her leg and pulled it over his thigh as his fingers rubbed over her center. "You are already so went for me, cara mia, I cannot help but wonder why that would be." She had pegged him as many things but not a tease; he knew she was turned on; he was the one causing it.

 "The nipple playing, the neck kissing…yeah you have a damn good idea what all that does." His chuckle against the back of her neck gave away the fact that yeah, he knew pretty well what he was doing. His fingers slipped into her at the same time his hard cock entered her causing her to cry out. This was a new position for her and she was surprised how good and open she was for him. And like this, she could feel so much more and she was touching heaven.

 His hot breathes fanned her neck and ear as he pushed deeper and harder into her from behind. His other hand still cupped her breast that was still teasing and playing there, making her cries so much more pleasure driven. And she wasn't fully sure when his other thumb began working on her clit, adding just enough pressure to make her slowly lose her mind.

 "How much more can I do to turn you on? To make you come?" She had no answer to that first question because she was really turned on; in fact, past turned on if that was possible. And shit, as for the second, he was doing everything so correctly and hitting everything so well that she really thought she was closer to the edge than even she believed.

 "Ramon, you have me on the edge." He grunted and that comment seemed to have made him go faster and harder. She gasped and cried out even more. "Shit Ramon, yes! God, you feel so fucking amazing." She came hard against him and he groaned.

 "God damn it Jeanette, you make me so hard." His thumb left her clit and found the way to her lips. She ran her tongue over it and pulled it into her mouth, causing Ramon to shake behind her as he came just as hard. "Fuck, bella, you do me in, in ways I never would have thought."

 "I take great pleasure in that, you know." He chuckled again and slapped her ass.

 "I know you do. Rest, then I am taking you out to see some of Venice. As much as I would love to keep you tied to my bed, I do not think you would like that." She smiled and stretched, her body sore and used, but in such good ways.

 "It's not a bad idea Ramon, but I would like to see something. Then you can come back and tie me up all you want." He growled as he playfully bit the back of her shoulder before rolling out of bed to head to the shower. She sighed as she looked out the window, seeing that the sun wasn't peeking in through the blinds but because they had left the door open to the terrace. Which meant anyone and everyone could hear her screaming their morning pleasure. She ducked her head under the pillow to try and stop the redness, not like it would do anything, but it made her feel better.

 Jeanette finished adding her make up 50 minutes later and walked out of the bathroom, nodding at Ramon. He got off the couch and took her hand, leading her out of the room and out of the hotel. And for a while, this felt right and normal to her; like this was just where she was supposed to be even though this was nowhere near her real life.

 "Are you hungry, cara mia?" He gave her a devilish grin that she returned.

 "Yeah, I am. Someone gave me exercise this morning and didn't bother feeding me before hand." Ramon laughed and took her to a smaller café a few minutes away from the hotel.

 "I often treat my mother here when we come. She always feels like the vibe in this place is like her kitchen and this is only one of the handful of places she will eat at."

 "Your mom is that picky?"

 "My mother is Italian; being picky is in our culture."

 "Oh, great, and you want me to meet her?"

 "She will love you, trust me."

 "Ramon?" They both lifted their heads up as an older gentleman walked to the table. Jeanette eyed him and could both smell and see the money that this man was in.

 "Rico, hello." Ramon stood up and shook the man's hand. "What brings you to Venice?"

 "A mini vacation before the gala. You will be attending right?" The guys eyes shifted to Jeanette and his smile grew. "And you will bring this lovely creature, as well?" Ramon glanced quickly and Jeanette and the look in those eyes side that he hadn't planned on it.
