Bidding on the Billionaire (Bad Boys Billionaire Bachelors Club) (11 page)

Chapter 21

B
etween jet lag, the emotionally charged
Italian vacation, and the gallery Mandi was busy.  It took her a full week to
get back in the groove of things, but she couldn’t have been happier.  Sophia
had found that she really liked working at the gallery and decided to stay on,
which was great for Mandi.  She could see her best friend more and have some relief
for the part of her day that really excited her—Sergio’s visit.

Sergio
was so attentive to Mandi, making sure he devoted time to her each and every
day.  With that came endless passion and intimate moments that rocked both
their worlds, leaving them breathless and so happy. It was hard to believe that
their relationship was only a few weeks old because Mandi and Sergio were so
connected. They naturally understood how each other thought about things and
were very alert to their surroundings. They’ve known of each other through
Sophia for so long, that becoming lovers and getting intimately close so fast
seemed natural.

One
morning Sergio came over to Mandi’s and surprised her.  She hadn’t been
thinking she was going to see him until later that evening, but such wasn’t the
case. She welcomed him in happily, immediately longing to feel his body pressed
against hers.  Sergio didn’t mind either and before long the two ended up in
her bed, their limbs entwined around the others and feeling the intense
sensations that came from an orgasm that was mind numbing. 

“What
a great way to start my day,” Mandi said, grinning sexily and looking at Sergio
with her messed up hair tousled about her face.

Sergio
leaned in and tucked a strand of hair behind Mandi’s ear, caressing her cheek
afterwards.  “I couldn’t agree more.  This is how every day should start.”

“Good
plan.  I’m game if you are, Sergio.”

“I’ll
warn you though.  This type of morning exertion makes me rather hungry.  I’m
craving pizza now.”

“Pizza?”
Mandi questioned. 

“Yes,
pizza.  In fact, I think I’m going to take the day off to go and enjoy some
pizza.  You should join me,” Sergio replied.  His smile was mischievous and
playful, practically irresistible by Mandi’s standards.

“I’d
love to, but I have so much to do at the gallery.  There are appointments, a
tour…”

Sergio
interrupted Mandi and pressed his finger gently on her lips.  She began to kiss
it, pretending it was another extension of his body, and he tried to get out
what he had to say despite the distraction of the sensual gesture.  “Trust me. 
You won’t want to miss this pizza.  It’s heavenly—the best in the world.”

“What
about the gallery?”

“Sophia
is in today and I’m sure she’s highly qualified to deal with all the clients
that have appointments or questions.”

“True…better
qualified than me.  Okay Sergio, you convinced me.  I’m in!”

“Good
because your bag is packed, mine is packed, and the limousine is waiting
downstairs,” he said.  His smile was huge, knowing that he’d just confused
Mandi and the curious look on her face was absolutely endearing.

“Where
are we going for this pizza?”

“It’s
a neighborhood that’s a bit far away from here, that’s all.  You’ll just have
to trust me.  You do trust me, right?”

“Right,”
Mandi said.  She leaned in and hugged Sergio tightly and then sprung up.  “Oh
my gosh.  I’ve got to get ready.  I look like a mess and can’t just go out with
that I just had mind blowing sex look on me.”

“Why
not?”

“A
girl has to have some secrets.”  With that Mandi jumped up and hustled around starting
to get ready.  Mandi kept smiling at Sergio watching her as she got ready.  He
looked so relaxed and casual to her.  It was nice to see and as if he didn’t
have a care in the world.

A
half hour later Sergio and Mandi were at the airport hangar where he kept his
jet and saying hello to the same flight crew that she’d met just a few weeks
earlier.  Mandi looked at Sergio and asked, “We’re having pizza in Italy?”

“You
know that’s my favorite and the best I ever had.  I’ve been craving it so I
thought why not go and have some.  What’s the point of having this jet and all
my money if I don’t take advantage of some of the perks that come with that.”

“You
must be on a mission to be the eccentric billionaire,” Mandi joked.

“I
have a stronger preference for the mile high club,” Sergio offered.  Mandi took
the hint and the two decided to go and get some rest during the flight.

Once
they were free to take their seatbelts off, Mandi and Sergio made their way
back to the bedroom of the jet.

“You
may be craving pizza, Sergio, but I am craving something else,” Mandi said. 
She looked at Sergio and startled to strip her clothes off slowly.  Her eyes
were on his the entire time and she enjoyed watching his response to the little
strip tease.  Sergio wanted her and that made her all the hornier for him.

After Mandi
was naked she took off Sergio’s clothes and laid them gently on the chair in
the corner so they wouldn’t wrinkle.  She had jeans, a t-shirt and sandals on
so she was good to go with her clothes being on a heap on the floor.

Sergio
was sitting on the edge of the bed naked and Mandi slowly caressed all his
bulging tan muscles with her hands as she made her way down to her knees to
take his delicious length all in and began to suck on him passionately. He felt
so good in her mouth and she knew Sergio felt good too because his hips were
slowly moving forward, trying to get as much of the sensation of her warm mouth
as possible on his growing erection.

When
Sergio was really hard Mandi slid up and straddled herself on top of him,
guiding him into her and began to move back and forth.  She held herself up by
placing her hands on his shoulders and moved back and forth on him.  Every time
she slid him further into her she could feel the sensation of the climax that
was starting to build and when she moved back out she’d swivel her hips, adding
a special little twist to the move that completely turned Sergio on. 

Finally,
Mandi couldn’t hold it any longer and her climax exploded, causing her to arch
her back and shudder from the intensity of her passion for Sergio.  Just as she
was finishing Sergio also exploded.  The two looked at each other and started
laughing with giddy joy.  It had felt so good and the euphoric feeling that
came whenever they consummated their intense feelings for each other was an
experience unlike any other.

“What
is it about flying that makes you so horny?” Sergio asked. He added that he
wasn’t complaining then.

“I
don’t know.  I don’t think it’s the flying as much as the company.”

“Well,
I’m glad you had that dream when we first went to Italy so I had a clue as to
just how damn sexy and incredible you were sexually.  Firsthand experience is
always better than just imagining, don’t you think?”

“Well,
my imagination took me pretty far in that dream,” Mandi commented, laughing. 
She wasn’t embarrassed about that incident any longer.

Mandi
and Sergio laid in the bed, trying to get some rest and talk.  They found that
they were easily distracted by their longing for each other though and ended up
adventuring off into sexual pleasures that they never seemed to get tired of. 
It was a wonderful flight and it was made even better when Sergio told Mandi
something that he’d found out recently.

“Guess
what I found out yesterday?” Sergio asked.

“What?” 
Mandi was wrapping a strand of Sergio’s hair in her finger and gently wrapping
it up.  She was feeling very playful.

“Olivia
is not pregnant after all.”

That got
Mandi’s attention and she shot up.  “No?  Did she lose the baby?”

“No,”
Sergio said.  “She lied about the baby.”

“That’s
so conniving.”

“She
had to come clean when it didn’t work and I told her we’d never be together.”

“Wow,
that’s really low, but I’ll admit.  It’s great news.  I’d have been very
supportive of you if you had a child, but I wasn’t so excited about having to
deal with Olivia.  She makes my skin crawl,” Mandi said.  She was the sort of
person who preferred to find the good in people, but no matter how hard she’d
tried she couldn’t find any good in Olivia.  Maybe she was biased, but aside
from being beautiful she couldn’t come up with anything else that seemed to be
a redeeming quality.  Lying  about a child cemented that.

“It feels
great to have that chapter of my life done with.  On to a new one and certainly
a more exciting one,” Sergio said.  He leaned in to Mandi and a ring sound out
through a speaker in the bedroom.  They were getting ready to descend and
Sergio and Mandi would have to go back out to their seats.

The
landing was smooth and an hour later they were at Benvenuto, making their way
up to Sergio’s room and saying their hello’s to everyone.  Suffice it to say
that everyone was surprised to see them too.  Sergio hadn’t let them know he
was coming.

Then
it was time for a shower and getting ready to go have that pizza that Sergio
had been craving.  After knowing she was going to have it again, Mandi also
wanted it so she didn’t mind.  It was fantastic, after all.

Mandi
walked out from a hot steamy shower and paused.  There was a table set up in
the room with pizza on it, a single red rose in a vase in the center, and a
bottle of red wine corked and breathing.  It looked wonderful and she smiled,
taking in the surprising scene.  How did Sergio get that all done so quickly? 
It was incredible.

Sergio
walked back into the room and stared at Mandi, who looked absolutely beautiful
in her silk bathrobe, which tied at the waist and revealed her sexy legs.

“Are
you hungry?” Sergio asked.

“I
am hungry.  It smells so good.  This is incredible, Sergio.”

“I
have something I need to talk to you about before we eat,” Sergio said.

He
suddenly looked nervous and that made Mandi feel a bit nervous too.  She
couldn’t imagine what he had to tell her.

“What
is it?” she asked.

“Why
don’t you sit down first.”

“Okay,”
Mandi said.  Sergio guided her to the edge of the bed and sat her down.  Then
he knelt one  knee down on the floor and leaned in toward her.

She
was staring at his eyes, trying to read them and see what was going on, so she
didn’t see his one hand pull out something from inside his pocket.

Sergio
placed the deep blue crushed velvet box in front of him so Mandi could see it
and slowly opened the top. Mandi was staring with wide and curious eyes, not
able to say a word.  Her heart was pounding and now her hands were shaking as
much as Sergio’s.  Inside that box was a beautiful diamond ring and she could
tell that it was very old.  It was a square cut with small diamonds surrounding
it and absolutely amazing—the most beautiful ring she’d ever seen.

Sergio
licked his lips and took her hands in his. “Mandi, I love you so much and I am
hoping that you will make me the luckiest man in the world and marry me.  Will
you?”

Mandi’s
eyes swelled up and she couldn’t contain her excitement.  The answer was easy.
She shouted out , “Yes,” and lunged toward Sergio, kissing his face
passionately and toppling him over to the ground.

He
laughed and then asked if he could put the ring on her finger before he got
distracted with anything else.  Mandi shook her head and extended out her left
ring finger.  Sergio slid the ring on and Mandi assessed its beauty upon her
still tanned skin.

“It
fits perfectly,” she said.

“As
it should because you are perfect for me,” Sergio replied.

Epilogue

P
reparing for the wedding was an incredible and
busy experience for Mandi and Sergio.  He’d given her carte blanche for
everything she wanted to do and that was spectacular, but Mandi wanted this day
to be amazing for both of them.

There
was only one option for a place to have the wedding and that was Italy, and in
specific, on the grounds of Benvenuto.  There couldn’t possibly be a more
beautiful venue and the weather was absolutely gorgeous.  It was a very warm
October, nearly 85 degrees, and the leaves on the trees were starting to change
colors.  It was more beautiful and enchanting than a fairytale wedding could
ever hope to be. 

The
wedding was a small affair with the Leon relatives and Sergio and Mandi’s
closest friends.  Mandi wore a custom wedding dress which La Bella Donna had
made for her, working endless hours to get it done on such short notice.  She
looked absolutely enchanting in it with its straight sleek lines, white sateen
ivory and small emerald colored embellishments about it.  A dress that came
close to being as beautiful as the bride. 

When
Sergio and Mandi stood upon the alter that had been constructed in the back
yard, overlooking the ocean, they stared at each other, showing just how right
this moment was they joined vows in front of some of the most special people in
their lives.

Sophia
stood close by Mandi because she was her maid of honor, and Angelica was a
junior bride’s maid.  Marshall was to the side of Sergio playing the role of
best man.

After
the vows were exchanged a fun day of celebration commenced, starting with
traditional Italian music to dance the afternoon away to and a more formal
dinner, followed by a DJ that would carry the guests through the evening until
they were driven to the hotel they were staying at in town.

Even
Olivia couldn’t ruin the moment when she tried to crash the party.  The men of
the BBBBC gladly offered to hold her at bay so she wouldn’t be given the
opportunity to ruin Mandi and Sergio’s special day.  Eventually she gave up on
destroying Sergio’s happiness and asked Leroy to go get Benjamin for her. 
Benjamin went to Olivia and the two took off together, neither returning to
Benvenuto.

As Sergio
laughed with his friends from the BBBBC that day they were delighted to tease
him about having to be kicked out of the club.  After all, he wasn’t a bachelor
any longer.  Marshall was the worse and took great delight in reminding
everyone how he’d be a bachelor forever, the longest lasting legacy of the BBBBC. 
He savored his bachelorhood, but nothing showed how much he honored the thought
of marriage between two people who were meant to be together more than when he
gave his best man’s speech:

It
isn’t every day that two people can find love and just know that it is meant to
be.  It changes everything and in one instant you swear off what you always
believed would be your destiny and embrace the beautiful road ahead…the road
that is traveled with someone you love so much and will not accept living
without.

Today
we have all laid witness to such a grand love.  Sergio and Mandi show all of us
that there is no need for good luck when you find the person you want to be
with.  It all aligns and is instantly beautiful and brilliant.

Everyone
clapped at Marshall’s speech and there were many tears flowing.  Sergio and
Mandi stood up and Sergio swept her down and kissed her passionately in front
of everyone, making the cheers and claps grow louder.  As for Marshall, he
walked off to the side with a big smile upon his face and walked off with two
beautiful women, one on each arm.

The
next order of events was tossing the bouquet and Mandi smiled as she looked at
all the eager faces there, hoping they’d get it.  Diedre spun Mandi around
three times and she opened her eyes and looked down at her bouquet of white
lilies and raised her arms up to toss it over her head.  She didn’t even have
time to turn around when she heard a scream of delight.  Mandi knew in an
instant who caught that bouquet—Sophia.  She turned around and gave her best
friend a thumb up and all the boys from the BBBBC looked to Andre, chanting
“Another one bite’s the dust.”

Sergio
leaned over to Mandi and suggested that they get their honeymoon started.  She
couldn’t have agreed more.  The jet was waiting and the beautiful island of
Turks and Caicos was calling their name.

“I
can’t wait to get you all to myself again,” Sergio whispered. “Now that I’m no
longer a bachelor, I’m wondering who else from the BBBBC will bite the dust
next.”

Mandi
looked over at the handsome bachelors standing in tuxes sharing jokes, talking
about the latest acquisitions, sports, hobbies, and even their carefree bachelors
lifestyle.  “Beats me,” she said smiling.  “It has to take someone special to
lure one of you away from the group.  I wonder who will that be and which one
of your friends will remain the last one to get married.”

“It
would take someone special to do that,” said Sergio. “Perhaps you know a friend
for one of them?”

Mandi
looked at Sophia, dancing with Andre, and thought.  Yes, there was one friend
of theirs that would be perfect for one of the BBBBC guys.  Now, it’s just a
matter of playing matchmaker.
