Author's Note: Same rules apply. Using noble and royal titles creatively as well as Austrian and European geography. So glad that everyone is still liking the story line. Lots more to come!

"So, when was the last time you went to Paris?" Luke asked Sophia as they boarded the helicopter parked on the roof of the castle. The young Count had surprised the Baronetess with a surprise Christmas getaway after the wedding of his executive chef, Tobias, and one of the two castle maids, Marie. Luke had surprised the new couple with a honeymoon trip to Tahiti before telling Sophia about their own holiday excursion.
"Well," Sophia replied as she fastened her seatbelt in the chopper's cabin, "Not since I was at the University a few years ago. I went there with some friends for holiday break on our way to the Riviera. "
"Hmmmm..." Luke said, a little disappointed. "Well, we'll only be there for one night. How about America? Have you ever been there?"
"Luke, are we going to America?!" Sophia asked excitedly. "I've always wanted to go to the States but after school I settled into life at the castle and... well, you know the rest. Where in America will we be going?"
"New York to start." Luke replied, climbing aboard the aircraft as the security detail followed suit. "We'll be there on the 27
th
for two days. From there we fly to my hometown for a meeting with my lawyer and accountant on the 29
th
, then we end up in Las Vegas on the 30
th
and ring in the new year in the penthouse suite at Caesar's Palace. How does that sound?"
"Luke, I know you inherited a fortune," Sophia began to protest, "but with the Christmas gifts and paying for Tobias and Marie's wedding, and
their
trip, and now this. Well, isn't it getting a bit expensive?"
"Don't worry about that, Sophia," Luke responded as the chopper blades started to pick up speed. Johann shut the door on the cabin and the noise-cancelling environment took over. "An investment paid off a couple weeks ago. You're looking at Austria's first billionaire Count."
"Luke, did you say BILLIONAIRE?!" Sophia asked. She stared at him in disbelief. She had grown up well-to-do, but not nearly that rich. Not even the von Furstenburg family was that wealthy.
"Yes, my love." Luke replied. "I hope that doesn't make a difference in our relationship." He kidded the red-haired noblewoman.
Sophia elbowed him in the ribs for his teasing. "I guess I'll have to suffer through with a mere billion dollars." She teased back.
"Well," Luke stated hesitantly, "It's more like ten and a half billion..."
Sophia's mouth dropped open at Luke's accounting correction. Before she could say another word, the sleek chopper lifted off from the castle roof and whisked them to the Vienna airport to start their journey halfway around the world.

While Tobias and Marie were flying first-class to Tahiti that night, Luke, Sophia, and the security detail would be traveling privately. When the chopper landed at the Vienna airport, the passengers had a short walk to Luke's latest purchase.

was a Bombardier Global Express XRS fully outfitted for transcontinental travel and luxury. Luke had the jet equipped with all modern conveniences including a bedroom with a king-size bed, full bar, and large shower. Sophia marveled at the sheer size of the jet and slid seductively on to the bed.
"So, should we break in the bed on the plane's maiden flight?" the Baronetess said as she slipped her heels off and batted the lashes on her jade eyes.
"Maybe on tomorrow's flight to the States." Luke replied. "It's only a two-hour flight to Paris, dear. Let's go get a pre-flight drink and meet the crew."
Luke and Sophia made their way through the spacious cabin of the luxury jet. Large leather seats surrounded a long conference table. With the push of a button, the floor opened, and the table disappeared from the aisle. The spacious seats swiveled and created a lane through the fuselage leading to the galley, then the crew cabin just behind the cockpit. The jet's captain, a handsome 40-ish man named Jonas, was chatting with his co-pilot, a young Austrian named David. Two pretty flight attendants, Julia and Emma, were preparing the cabin for takeoff and smiled at the noble couple as Luke and Sophia poked their heads into the aircrew's section.
"There is one other crewmember traveling with us on this trip, Sophia." Luke said to the Baronetess. He turned her around to face the main cabin as a smiling familiar face exited the plane's spacious bathroom.
"Anna!" Sophia shouted as the blonde bombshell walked to the couple and hugged the pretty red head.
"I thought we may need someone from the castle to help us with the day-to-day drudgery." Luke said. "Johann wasn't too keen on leaving the castle, but Anna was more than eager to travel. Weren't you, dear?"
"Ja, meine Herr."
Anna replied. "I look forward to serving you both on your journey." The sexy servant stated with an impish grin and quick wink.
"Well," Sophia said as she looked into Luke's hazel eyes, "this trip just got even more interesting. When do we leave?"
As if the pilots heard the noblewoman's question, the jet's powerful engines began to power up and the flight attendants showed the travelers to their seats and buckled themselves in for takeoff.

Wagner 1
touched down at Charles de Gaulle Airport in France just before midnight. Gunther, the head of Luke's security detail, had been sent ahead to make sure the Count and the Baronetess' well-being would be ensured. Two long black limousines pulled on to the tarmac after the jet landed and whisked the crew and passengers to The Peninsula-Paris hotel. Luke, under the advisement of his security captain, had booked the top two floors for not only total safety but also exquisite comfort. The penthouse view was astonishing with the Eiffel Tower in full prominence. The three-bedroom suite at the top of the hotel housed Luke and Sophia in the master bedroom, and Anna in the adjacent room. Luke asked his fire-haired lover if she wanted Anna to share their room that night, but Sophia declined the third sleep partner that night.
"I want you all to myself tonight, Mister." Sophia told the young Count. The view of the City of Lights and Love had overtaken the Baronetess' mind and senses and she led Luke out to the spacious balcony overlooking the famous spire and its surroundings. Luke and Sophia were still dressed in their formal clothes from Tobias and Marie's wedding. Sophia loosened Luke's bow tie from his tuxedo and removed his jacket. Luke unpinned Sophia's red hair from its updo and worked the zipper down on her blue curve-hugging bridesmaid dress. Luke slid the azure material off Sophia's shoulders, leaving the beautiful noblewoman adorned only in matching white bra and thong and black stilettos. At 52 degrees Fahrenheit, it was unseasonably warm in Paris that December night and the nearly naked Sophia was comfortable enough to drop to her knees on the balcony's cement floor and unzip Luke's black pants. She fished Luke's ever-hardening dick out of his sagging trousers and inhaled him into her warm and inviting mouth.
