The Don's Bride 7

Reaching the indoor pool area, Natalia eagerly led Bailey inside and over towards the neon blue pool.

“Wow, it looks incredible in here.” Bailey admitted.

“Wait till you feel the water.” Natalia mused, reaching down and removing her bathrobe, dropping it onto one of the nearby pool chairs.

Rendering her in a white strapless bra and matching lace panties.

“Come on. Let’s go.” Natalia urged her friend with a smile as she ventured over towards the shallow end of the pool and began to submerge herself one step at a time.

Bailey looked around nervously before then reaching down and untying her bathrobe.

She removed it, then placed hers over a separate chair.

And then she made her way over to the shallow end to venture into the pool with Natalia.

Stepping down the steps, Bailey immediately felt the warmth of the water relaxing her tense muscles and she let out a long sigh.

“Oh wow, the water’s amazing.” she admitted.

“I know, right?” Natalia agreed, now standing waist deep in the neon blue water.

“Vince brought me here the night we met. He was so romantic. I remember everything about that night. It was the first night we… well, you know…”

Bailey smirked.

“Really? Do tell, and I mean details woman.” she urged, coming over to sit down in the spa section.

Natalia sat beside her, leaning back against the edge of the pool.

“Well, first he saved my life down at the beach. And then he went with me to the hospital to make sure I was alright. We went to dinner that night and we drank and had a romantic walk on the beach. Things sort of got hot and heavy when we went swimming in the ocean together and then he decided to bring me here instead.” she explained.

“Shit, really? Wow, that sounds so amazing.” Bailey spoke eagerly.

“And then what happened?”

“Then… we came here and we went for a swim…” Natalia purposefully paused; her face showed her obvious embarrassment as she contemplated how she was going to retell what happened next.

“And?” Bailey urged.

“And… we played Marco Polo for a while and then got into kissing, and then… we made love right here in the pool.” Natalia admitted, smiling fondly.

“He knew how nervous I was about sex after what happened with my ex, so he was incredibly gentle with me the entire time. Made me feel things I’ve never experienced before and opened my eyes to what sex could be like with the right person.”

“Yeah? And how was it?” Bailey queried.

“It was hot and yet… sweet at the same time. He made me feel special. Loved even. And then I sort of wanted to go again and-”

“-No way! You little whore!” Bailey teased, smiling.

Natalia smiled, “Vince carried me all the way up to his room. He laid me down and then we made love so many times that night, I honestly lost count. We both passed out afterwards.”

“Aw, that’s so romantic, Talia.” Bailey admitted.

“I’m so jealous. I wish I found someone who made me feel that special and loved.”

“Oh, don’t worry Bailz, you totally will.” Natalia declared.

“I mean, look at you. You’re hot as, you're kind, funny… you’re gonna meet someone who sweeps you right off your feet.”

“Yeah, I dunno. I don’t get to meet a lot of guys. I’m either at work or at home vegging out in bed, watching my shows.” Bailey admitted.

“I doubt I’ll ever find anything even remotely close to what you have, girl.”

Natalia frowned, moving over to wrap her arm around Bailey.

“When the right one comes, you’ll know.” she declared.

“It’s a gut feeling, you just… know.”

Bailey leaned her head down onto Natalia’s shoulder as she let out a long sigh.

“Hey, just curious… who’re those men with Vince? The ones who helped us escape back at the hotel?” she queried.

Natalia frowned, “You mean Maxwell, Carlo and Hunter?”

Bailey sat up again, looking to Natalia.

“Are they Italian?” Bailey asked.

“Two of them are.” Natalia admitted, nodding.

“Maxwell and Carlo both lived here in Sicily as of last year but they moved to LA to help Vince with the whole becoming Don thing. They’re his closest friends too.”

Bailey smirked, leaning her head back on the edge of the pool.

“Why do you ask?” Natalia enquired, smirking curiously at her friend.

“No reason…” Bailey spoke fighting back a grin.

“Wait, which one do have your eyes on? Maxwell or Carlo?” Natalia questioned.

“I don’t know their names. I mean, they’re both hot, but I think the one with the darker hair and the green eyes is… well, he’s something.” Bailey admitted, shrugging.

Natalia giggled.

“I think you’re talking about Maxwell.” she explained.

“Is he the funny one or the serious one?”

“The funny one.” Bailey replied.

“Yep, that’s Maxwell.” Natalia spoke knowingly.

“So… Maxwell huh? Are you gonna make a move or what-”

“-Um, no!” Bailey cut in sternly.

“What if I did and he’s not interested. I’d be so embarrassed… no, I couldn’t.”

“What if I set the two of you up somehow?” Natalia suggested, lifting her brows.

Bailey frowned, turning to glance at her in question.

“Wait, what are you thinking?” she asked.

“From what I know, Maxwell’s single and well… he’s a bit of a ladies’ man.” Natalia explained.

“He’s pretty smart, he’s loyal and he’s got a great sense of humour. I could find a way for the two of you to be alone somewhere, in private. Then you can make a move-”

“-No, Talia, I couldn’t.” Bailey spoke, shaking her head.

“What? But you’re always so confident around guys.” Natalia protested.

“I dunno, I just feel like he’s out of my league. I mean look at him! And then look at me.” Bailey spoke sadly.

Natalia frowned, grabbing her friend by both upper arms, forcing her to look her in the eye as she spoke her words of support.

“Bailey, you’re a gorgeous young woman with everything to offer a guy. You could have anyone you want; guys will be crawling at your feet…” Natalia proclaimed.

“But none of that matters unless you believe in yourself first and foremost. You’ve got so much to offer, I just know you’ll find someone special. Trust me, ok? I’ve got a good eye for things like this.”

Bailey smiled.

“Thanks Talia. I needed to hear that.” she admitted.

“So… are you gonna make a move on him, or not?” Natalia queried, smirking.

Bailey couldn’t fight back her smile.

“I wouldn’t even know where to start.” she spoke nervously.

“Don’t worry, I got you girl.” Natalia spoke with a wink, then leaned back against the edge of the pool again.

“I’ll see what I can do.”

Finishing up with their quick meeting, Vincenzo found himself gravitating towards the indoor pool area, knowing that his wife would be in the pool and eager to catch a glimpse of her in whatever little clothing she was wearing.

He might even join her.

And of course, Maxwell followed his Don along with intrigue as they ventured down several hallways in the direction of the pool room.

“So… swimming huh?” Maxwell enquired, fighting back his grin.

“Yeah, so? I’m in the mood to go for a swim.” Vincenzo declared.

“And this wouldn’t have anything to do with the fact that Natalia’s in the pool, and probably wearing next to nothing right now?” Maxwell taunted his friend.

Vincenzo frowned, “Of course not. I just really feel like taking a dip. If she happens to be in there still, then great.”

Maxwell chuckled knowingly, “Uh-huh, sure Vince.”

Together they stepped foot into the pool area and glanced over at the pool, noticing the two women sitting there together in the spa section of the pool.

Vincenzo grinned as he continued heading over towards them, with Maxwell following along closely behind him.

“Enjoying your swim?” the Don enquired, alerting them to stand and turn around to face Vincenzo there with Maxwell beside him.

“Vince… I didn’t know you were here.” Natalia spoke nervously as she looked up at him with a smile.

And the moment Vincenzo caught sight of what she was wearing, he felt himself beginning to harden down between his legs.

Her white bra and panties were drenched with water and she looked utterly delectable.

He swallowed nervously.

Maxwell on the other hand was grinning at his boss when he looked down at Bailey and felt something momentarily stir within him.

Bailey wore a red bra with matching panties, submerged by the water but clearly visible from their stance above them.

Maxwell watched the way beads of water rolled down Bailey’s incredible body and couldn’t hide the stunned expression there upon his face as he stood staring down at her.

“Do you mind if we join you?” Vincenzo enquired, removing his belt and then unbuttoning his black dress shirt.

“Actually, we’d love that.” Natalia spoke confidently as Bailey nervously kept her gaze downcast, shyly unable to look Maxwell in the eye now.

“Excellent. Maxwell, you’re coming in as well.” Vincenzo commanded.

Maxwell frowned, looking to him.

“Wait, why?” he queried.

“Why not?” Vincenzo countered, shrugging.

“It’s not like you’ve got anything better to do at the moment, right?”

Maxwell looked Vincenzo in the eye and then rolled his eyes in submission.

“Alright, fine.” he agreed, beginning to remove his belt, followed by his shoes, socks, shirt and then his pants.
