"I don't want anyone else to touch me," she proclaims.

Satisfaction rages through me. "Good. If anyone does, I'll kill them—especially once you're my wife."

Her lips twitch, and my heart soars higher. "So I didn't dream you asked me to marry you?"

My mouth curls into an unstoppable grin. I declare, "No, dolce. Nor did you imagine everything about the babies. And I'm going to spend all week trying to knock you up."

A mix of anxiety and excitement fills her expression.

Arrogance grows inside me. I state, "Your panties are turning wet again, aren't they?"

The flames on her cheeks turn maroon. She admits quietly, "Yes."

I grunt. "Take them off."

"What?"

"You heard me." I unclasp her belt.

She slithers out of the thong.

I grab it, sniff deeply, then bunch it in my fist. I order, "Buckle up."

She obeys just as the jet begins to descend to the ground.

Within minutes we're on the tarmac, and the seat-belt sign turns off. I hit the speaker, saying, "Chanel, can you come here?"

"Sure," she replies, and within seconds, she appears next to my seat. "What can I do for you, Mr. Marino?"

"I have a job for you."

"Oh?" Chanel asks.

I dangle the delicate thong in front of her and order, "Hold on to these until our return trip."

Her eyes light up. She glances at Katiya, and my dolce's lips slightly tremble. Chanel replies, "No problem, Mr. Marino. Will you need them washed?"

"Do you want to wash them?" I ask.

Katiya loudly inhales, holding her breath.

Chanel glances at her and then pins her gaze on mine. "No, sir."

"Why not?"

Chanel smirks. "I'd rather look at them all week and think about what you're doing to her."

"Because you're attracted to women?" I ask, which is a question I've always wondered.

She shakes her head. "No, sir. I only like men."

I'm half surprised, half not. I inquire, "But you like to watch women?"

Confidence floods her face. She raises her chin, answering, "I like to watch sex. Women and men are both beautiful. Any more questions?"

I hold in my chuckle. "No, Chanel. You've been very helpful. Thank you."

"In that case, have a great week in the Maldives," she replies, winks at Katiya, and disappears with the slightly damp panties.
