She looks me up and down again and says, very bitchy."You are too short and plump for Maximus.He likes long legs."

The elevator stops, and a middle-aged man steps in with us.He glances at her, but his eyes fall straight to my big breasts, then they move up to appreciate my face.Italian men are such flirts!"His tastes have changed," I tell her confidently."Perhaps he found something more delicious to enjoy."I fold my arms under my breasts and prop them up, squeezing them together.They pop up, and the poor man's tongue practically hangs out of his mouth.His eyes devour them in the reflection of the door.An outline of a hard-on presses against his slacks.I can see the envy in her eyes as she watches his reaction too.She has no tits.

Okay, Karma.You are off the hook.Thank you!

We ride down the rest of the way in silence.When the elevator doors open, Franco, the Concierge, is standing on the landing.He looks like he is waiting for someone else, but when he sees me, he suddenly smiles and looks relieved.

"Ah, you must be Franco.I'm Siri Wright."I hold my hand out to him as I step off the elevator.

"Miss Wright.It is a pleasure to meet you."He takes my hand and leads me a few steps away from the elevator doors.Elena steps out with me and follows us.The older man exits, unashamed that his cock is leading the way.

Franco is an older man with grey hair at his temples.He is slightly overweight but moves with a lot of energy.He shakes my hand with the gentleness befitting a lady as he eyes Elena quietly towering over me.I grin, thinking of a penguin looking at a giraffe."What brings you down to grace us with your beauty?I'm sure Maximus will not let you out of his sight for long."

"That's very sweet of you to say.Thank you, Franco."I smile sweetly at him and turn to look at Elena as his eyes leave mine to look at her.She stands stone-faced, looking down her nose at me, and waits for him to speak to her, but he only looks back at me and grins, ignoring her.

"Maximus has been staying at our hotel since he was a young boy.Carlo tells me he introduced you as 'Mio Bella Signorina.'"He is beaming at me like a proud Papa, then he bends over and says not so quietly, and I realize he is telling me this for Elena's benefit."He has never shared his room with anyone before.You must be very special to him."He stands back up."Therefore, you are very special to us.How may I be of service to you, Bella Signorina?"He asks with a flourish of hand movements.

"I need something special, and I need a favor."

"You have only to ask.I will move mountains."He gestures to the sky.

Elena clears her throat now.I can feel her impatience and her temperature rising.She is obviously used to being the center of attention.I smile up at her."But first, I believe Elena would like to tell you something."

She grimaces a smile at me, then says a long tirade in Italian to him.Franco's face stays professional and polite as he listens intently to her.When she is finished and looking down her nose at me, he tells her."Maximus has asked that we speak only English in the presence of his Miss Wright.Would you be so kind as to repeat what you just told me for the ears of his Miss Wright?"

Hmm.This ole man is sharp!

She glares at me, and I smile so innocently and sweet at her.

"Franco, Siri did not allow me to see Maximus.I wish to speak to him immediately."

He smiles at her then says."Elena?"

"Yes, Elena Maria."She nods, clearly expecting him to recognize her name.

"Elena Maria."He nods then asks us but looks only at her."Do you two know each other?"

She looks surprised by his question, but he smiles at her expectantly.She doesn't answer, so I volunteer."We met outside our room.I almost bumped into her as I was leaving."

He raises his eyebrows at me, then looks back at her."Is this true?"

"Yes."She whines, bitching about me."She would not allow me to knock on the door to see Maximus.He does not know I am here."Then she demands."I wish him to know I am here."

Franco's eyes sharpen with her words, then his expression changes.The kindness is gone, and only a sly ole fox looks at her."If Maximus does not know you are here, please tell me, how did you find out what room he is in?Who gave you his room number?"

She looks like she got caught with her hand in a slamming door, then she sees someone who brings a huge smile to her face."Ah!"She says as she waves.Her expression is both relieved and excited.We turn to see who she expects to get her off the hook.Antonio is bounding up the stairs two at a time.When she looks back at Franco, her expression is confident again.When she looks at me, she wears her smug face, and my hand twitches."Antonio.Ciao."She waves at him as he tops the stairs.He gives her a curt nod and walks over to us.

Antonio told her what room we are in?I look up at him as he steps into our circle, and in the brief moment before my poker face slides on again, my eyes reflect what my heart feels ...betrayed.Antonio's smile falls off his face, and he frowns at me."Siri, is everything ok?"

"Perfect.Why wouldn't it be?"I beam at him, totally in control of myself again.

"Because ..."He looks at me puzzled.

Elena touches his arm.He looks at her and smiles.She smiles back and shifts her stance, owning the situation now."Ciao, Antonio.You are looking good.It has been too long."

"I'm sorry.Do I know you?"He looks confused at her.

What?I glare at her now and put my hands on my hips.
