“I did, sir; it’s beautiful. Ms. Antonia will love it.”

“I’m glad to hear it. Let your contact know I will be there tomorrow. I want to propose tomorrow evening. Talk to the host at La Viva and have the private dining room set for a queen.”

“Yes, sir. Will there be anything else?”

“Not for the moment, but, Carl, I want this under wraps; no one talks. This needs to be a complete surprise.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Have a good night, Carl, and we’ll see you tomorrow.” I tapped into my flying network and found a plane leaving in four hours. Perfect, I’d be exhausted and sauced enough by then to sleep on the eight-hour plane ride.

I called Rico to have a car ready to take me to the airport in two and half hours. I decided to pass on the massage. I just wanted to be alone. I stared at the glittering lights as I planned the perfect night to ask for Antonia’s hand in marriage.

Chapter 17

Antonia

I wokefrom a nightmare that had me kicking and thrashing about in real-time.

“Antonia, please wake up. It’s okay; everything is okay.”

“Simone?” I blinked my eyes several times. “What are you doing here?”

“You managed to scare the crap out of my man.” She chuckled. “So here I am.”

I remembered what had shaken me. I bolted up. “Alex!” The room spun in circles, and I sunk back onto my pillows until it stopped.

“Antonia, you have to relax, sweetheart. You have hit your head twice now, and the doctor already chewed out Johnathan; that’s why he called me. Alex will be here soon. You are to meet him. Do you think you can spare some energy for a date with your man? It seemed urgent, but if you’re not up to it, he can just come home and see you here.”

“Are you kidding? I want to see him. How long was I out?”

“You slept the night through and most of the day. How are you feeling?”

That was a good question. I was no longer sore, and miraculously, didn’t have a headache either. Besides being dizzy when I flung myself from a prone position to standing, I felt pretty good.

“Much better, almost my normal self.”

“Fantastic!” She clapped her hands excitedly. “We have two hours to get you ready but first, some coffee, water, and a snack to see you through to dinner.” Simone bustled off and came back ten minutes later.

“Thank you, Simone,” I offered as she set down a tray on my lap.

“What are besties for?” She smiled.

“Speaking of, I’m so sorry for getting you in trouble. Honestly, it was all a blur until I saw your naked ass over Johnathan’s lap. I, well, I wanted to compliment you on how well you, uh… did. I mean, taking your punishment.” My cheeks flamed with my embarrassment, and Simone giggled, evidently not in the least surprised or offended by what I said.

“Have you ever been spanked before, I mean with witnesses?” I asked.

“Only once, and I don’t think I would have taken that last one as well as I did if you hadn’t been there. I wanted to be a good example.”

I laughed at the idea of being a good example. “Did it bother you that I was there with you or that Johnathan, you know, did that to me?”

“Not in the least, sista. I know Johnathan’s hand can feel like a paddle, so I was more concerned as to how you would take it than anything else.”

“You’re right. Johnathan doesn’t spank anything like Alex.”

“Oh, I can assure you he does,” she said, “but you haven’t really been punished by Alex yet. You’ve had theownership spanking, theI told you so spanking, andthe encouragement to do better,spanking. But not the full-on punishment spanking, but I suspect you will soon.”

“Yikes, well, now that I know there are so many different types, I will have to do better. And you forgot one,I’m going to spank you to orgasmspanking. That’s my fav.”
