A big thank you to @Rujula07 for the new cover!!!
Calliope Rose Mancini is twenty-six years old and serves as a companion to her nona and when she insists that Calliope attend to her and travel with her to Las Vegas, she has no idea what is actuall...
Vincenzo's hand cupped Calli's elbow as they walked from the underground parking to a very nice black Jaguar XJL, holding the back passenger door open, he watched her slide in and what surprised him the most is she stopped once she hit the middle; she actually seemed like she wanted to be near him. This gave him hope.
Sliding in next to her, his right knee touched her left leg, causing both of them to turn their heads and look at each other. His stomach curled when she smiled at him, immediately setting him at ease.
He'd been around a lot of women, and they all, well most of them, if he was to be fair, wanted something from him. His money mostly, but his position, etc. Calli had already proven that this was not her, in any form, shape or fashion.
"It's about a thirty minute ride to my airstrip" he told her. "I'm going to take care of some text messages and return some emails, that way when we are on the plane, I'm all yours." She nodded and smiled in response, picked up her phone and searched the internet.
Vincent cut his eyes over, so he could maybe see what she was looking up. She's was reading about Sicily and the Adriatic Sea, among other things. She truly did care about his home and she really was excited about going there.
The joy that flooded his heart was foreign to him as he'd never let anyone in this close before. He knew they still had a long way to go and as long as they both would talk, about anything and everything, they would be okay. He was never so set on making something work as he was right now.
Concentrating on his texts and email messages, he had them all answered but one by the time they reached the airstrip. He would take care of that once they were settled on the plane.
He couldn't help but notice her reaction when she saw what they were flying in. It was the latest and greatest Sovereign 6 Desert Jet and she was fully loaded.
"Wow" she breathed. "You own her?" Calli asked pointing at the plane. Vincent nodded. "She's a real beauty" Calli commented. Vincent smiled and said "Wait until you see inside."
Once out of the car, Calli and he boarded the plane as some of Vincent's men, that stay in Vegas full time, unloaded the car and made sure their baggage was on board.
Vincenzo couldn't help but stare at Calli's fine, firm ass as she climbed the stairs leading up into the plane. She had no idea the affect that she had on him and he never really took much stock in that phrase "the girl next door" but she was her and so much more.
"Oh my God Vincent!" he heard her shriek. He just smirked at how she reacted to everything. He happened to know for a fact how much money her father made, all the family vacations, etc that her family had, but it always seemed like she was experiencing certain things for the first time. He would make a mental note to ask her about it.
"Come" he said. "I'll give you a quick tour." First stop was to introduce her to the pilot and co-pilot. They were high school friends of Vincent's, both retired Air Force and twins to boot. "Calli, baby, these are the Martino brothers. Alessio and Adriano. Gentlemen, my fiance' Calli Mancini" he said that with so much pride and he found he couldn't quit smiling about it.
After exchanging small pleasantries, Vincent and Calli moved on so the pilots could finish prepping for take off. Next, was the main area of the plane. It had a total of eight captain's chairs, two sofas opposite each other and pull down tables so you could eat dinner.
The colors inside were neutrals which made it feel very warm and inviting with it's sands, beige colors, caramels and brass finishes.
He showed her the galley which consisted of a restaurant style stove/oven, smaller of course, a nice refrigerator and plenty of cabinet space.
Vincent explained that the plane came equipped with two restrooms. One at the other end of the plane and then the one that was inside the bedroom, only it was full size with a shower and all the amenities.
He walked in behind Calli and snaked his arms around her waist and much to his joy, she didn't stiffen or try to move away, in fact she made it seem like this was something they were accustomed to doing often.
Resting his chin on her shoulder, he mumbled "What do you think?" His eyes fluttered closed when he felt her hand fall on top of his, the sparks that flew from the contact were undeniable.
"I think it's really beautiful, Mr. Siranni. I've never traveled in such style before." Her statement really floored him.
"Are you saying you've never traveled anywhere?" he asked incredulously. She shook her head no. "I've traveled with nona in her private plane here and twice by myself and both times I bought my ticket and traveled Economy" she answered, chuckling a little. "I told you I wasn't about my family's wealth or title. There were a lot of family vacations that I did not go on.
Spending money like water has never appealed to me and that was all my parents were ever interested in. At the time I was all about school, working and getting good grades and to be honest, the times they were gone were the best. I rested a lot and got a lot of work for school done. To me it was a win-win, if that makes any sense" she finished.
Kissing her neck, he said he had one more room to show her and he wanted her to close her eyes. Waving his hand back and forth in front of her eyes, he was convinced she couldn't see, so he took her hand and led her forward and then they stopped.
"Open your eyes" he said.

He showed her his bedroom and it was decked out much like the rest of the plane, in regards to the colors and what not.
Vincenzo enjoyed her reactions to everything that he'd shown her. You know how some women it doesn't matter what you buy them and in what quantity, they are never happy with anything? Well Calli was completely different.
He could buy her a rock and she would think it was the most beautiful thing she'd ever seen. There wasn't a materialistic bone in her body and Vincent knew he would enjoy spoiling her and spending his money on her, even if she didn't want it, he was going to show her everyday what she meant to him.
"This is absolutely gorgeous" she breathed. "Well I'm glad you like it. We will be in the air for about seventeen hours, give or take and I thought we could spend a great deal of time in here, talking and getting to know one another more. What do you say to that, tesoro?" Vincenzo asked.
Turning to face him, Calli put her arms around his waist, hugging him. Then she pulled back and placed a small kiss on his lips and said "It sounds perfect." No. She was perfect and she was his.
