"So, are you excited for the weekend?" I ask my husband-to-be, holding my hands under my chin on the kitchen top and fluttering with my eyelashes.
"Not really, it will be just Isaac and I. You know him, he will take me to some boat, then on some sports activity. I'm certain we will even sleep in the same hotel room. How exciting a bachelor party of two can be? Especially when Isaac is one of them." Mike tells me calmly with a slight disappointment in his eyes. Then he slices one more piece of the mortadella he is eating on the countertop, puts it in his mouth, and adds slurpingly. "I mean. I love him." he gulps the salami and continues, "But he sucks like a best man. I made a bad choice, I must admit." Then he goes around the countertop and gently kisses me.
As he kisses me, a WhatsApp notification pops out on my phone.
"Whooo! Who are you chatting with?" Mike asks me playfully, touching my hair at the same time.
"Marco," I add carelessly, trying not to look interested at that ten years younger than me Italian, who I happen to mentor at work. My mind even drifts slightly when I think of him in a costume standing in front of me at the elevator.
"Marco from the deli across the street?" he asks jokingly.
"No, Marco, from work. Do you remember?" knowing he already knows who I am talking about.
"Marco, whom-you-wanna-wrap-your-legs-around-and-scream-until-he-breaks-your-insides Marco? That Marco?" Mike adds quickly with a laugh in his tone.
I hit him lightly on the shoulder.
"Hey, shut up, you imbecile. Do you know what Marco did yesterday at the office?" I ask, looking Mike straight in the eye.
"What? He appeared naked on your desk, biting his lip and saying 'comeah to meah mi amorrrree.'" Mike adds, trying to look funny and badly imitating an Italian accent.
"That's it. I'm not sharing it with you anymore. I revoke your privileges of a husband who knows everything." I say, trying to sound pissed off at him, and cross my hands in front of my body.
I suddenly feel Mike's lips on my neck and his hand gently pushing my hair away; tiny goosebumps go through the back of my neck and then spread over my entire body. I feel a gentle bite on the ear, making me tremble just a little. For a moment, I'm on the verge of wetting myself; that's how little I need. Then I hear his voice.
"Come on Zoe, do tell me. I will be careful not to hurt your fragile hotwife-to-be feelings."
How could I even be mad at my man? He's caring, loving and allows the slut in me to feel comfortable with herself.
"Okay, but one more remark..." I look at him, waving a finger at his face.
"Yeah, I promise." he smiles.
"So I'm standing at my desk, and suddenly the door opens. I'm stapled down to my laptop's screen, so I ignore what's happening in my surroundings. At some point, I feel the smell of a gorgeous perfume and two pairs of strong hands on my shoulders. I jump out of scare, but his hands pin me down for the chair.
'Relax, Zoe, it's just me, Marco,' he whispers right next to my ear. His voice is deep, solid, and confident. It's like James McAvoy whispers in your ear with an Italian accent. Hell, he even looks a little bit like James McAvoy, but bigger. I feel his hands moving and squeezing my shoulders slightly.
'You are so tense.' I laugh, but you know, with my sexy laugh.
'Do you have a subscription for massages, Marco? I can sign up.' And then I made a terrible mistake." I just pause here to see Mike's expression, who looks at me eagerly.
