“Is that …” I race over to the piano sitting in the corner of the room. “This is my piano from Italy. The first one you ever gave me.”
“Yes, I thought it belonged here with you.”
I can’t believe this. I already have a new piano he gifted me. It’s downstairs in the music room.
When I asked for a dance studio, this wasn’t what I had in mind. I would have been fine with a small room to practice and dance in. However, as I look around this room, I can see all the love that has gone into this studio. From the cool color on the walls to the shiny new hardwood floors and the framed photos of me dancing or playing—it’s all breathtaking.
The framed photo Maribel took of me seems like such a lame gift now. Besides, I’ve had the photo for so long now I’m almost embarrassed to give it to him.
I turn and rush back to him and leap into his arms, wrapping my legs around his waist. I bury my face into his neck and inhale deeply. I didn’t think I could fall in love with this man any more than I already am, but … this studio says so much about how Michael gets me.
This space is calming and inspiring. I would love to spend the day here dancing and playing. I think to do just that as Michael holds me tightly in place.
“Happy anniversary, il mio prezioso amore.”
“Thank you, Michael. I love it,” I sing.
He cups the back of my neck and captures my lips in a searing kiss. It turns heated quickly and I begin to think we are going to christen the studio as he palms my breast over my sports bra while kneading my butt with his other hand.
Michael growls and comes to a halt as his phone rings. Placing me on my feet, he takes out the phone and grunts at it. However, he doesn’t look as frustrated as he did when he first put me down.
His eyes are sparkling again. With a huge smile, he holds his hand out for mine. I take his hand and allow him to lead me from the room.
“If I ask, will you tell me where we are going?”
“No.”
I pout and squeeze his hand. He returns the squeeze, then lifts my hand to his lips and kisses my fingertips. The gesture puts a pin in my anxiety.
As he leads me downstairs, I can’t imagine where we’re going. I look back up the stairs longingly, wanting to return to my new studio. However, Michael’s excitement rolls off him causing me to focus so I can follow him.
Once in the foyer, I can see lights flashing outside. I turn to look at Michael curiously. He only winks and gives me a blinding smile.
Val and Uri both appear with smiles on their faces. Uri is holding the boys as Vita stands holding onto Val’s leg as she looks on as if wondering what’s going on with the adults.
I would like to know the same thing as Annabella appears with a face-splitting smile of her own. I notice Salvatore is with her, which makes me wonder where Adriano is once again.
Before I can ask Michael for the second time, he opens the door, and I gasp in shock. There is a flatbed truck in front of the house and it’s lowering a brand-new sports car. I look to Michael then look back at the car.
For about two months, he has been teaching me how to drive one of his cars in the garage. He had asked me what kind of car I would like if I had my own. Never in a million years did I think he planned to give me one.
“You bought me a car?”
“Yes, I should have done so years ago. I hope you like it,” he replies.
“I don’t have a license. It is not legal in New York State for me to drive without a license.”
He chuckles as he hands over the key. “I will make sure you are taken to get your license this week. Until then we will continue to practice on the property.”
I look at the red car and squeal. This is the best anniversary ever. I bounce in place and clap my hands happily.
“Are you happy?”
“Are you kidding me? Yes, Michael, I am very happy. You will get to fuck me very hard today.
“I will eat breakfast and change into something sexy. I plan to suck your cock too. I am most happy,” I say.
Michael’s cheeks turn red as Uri, Val, and Annabella laugh. Salvatore is coughing into his hand as he turns away. I cover my mouth as I realize I’ve brought our dirty talk out in public.
“Oops.”
Michael wraps his arms around my head and tugs me into him as he kisses the top of my head. I wrap my arms around his waist and hold him tight.
