Sofia’s POV “Shh. You’re going to try to stand on your own for me, won’t you?” He continued and I huffed out a small breath before starting to nod my head. I didn’t want to take a shower but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t going to try to hold myself up for him like he had asked. I might be tired but I was still going to try to please him, because I was a good girl.“That’s a good bunny.” He murmured as he started to stroke my hair. After a few seconds, I felt him start to carefully lower me to the ground. My head felt like it was spinning, my limbs felt really heavy and I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to even keep my head high up, or me able to hold myself up like he had asked me to – but I was going to try to do just that though.“Try to hold yourself up for me, alright? I want to go get some towels and other supplies.” He murmured and I forced my eyes open and gave a small nod of my head. My back was pressed against a well, it couldn’t be that hard for me to be able to remain this wa
Sofia’s POV I squirmed a little as I started to yawn, just as the hand around my waist tightened a little and jerk me a little, making me be pressed more into a very hard, warm chest. I slowly blinked my eyes open and tried to stifle another yawn when it started to rise once again.As soon as I blinked my eyes open, I realized that it was already early morning, but I was still feeling a little bit sleepy. What was very much unusual for me was the tact that Luca was still in bed with me, still holding me firmly against him– when he was supposed to be at the office at the moment, because it was a weekday and not the weekend. Evening during the weekends, it was still very rare for me to wake up to Luca right beside me, it was either he got up way earlier than myself to go gym, or to go get a cup of coffee before going to bury himself in work inside his office, it was still somehow unusual for me to wake up to him beside me.I knew very well that the right thing which I was suppos
Sofia’s POV A stuttered moan managed to slip out of my mouth when he finally started to slowly break the kiss to sink his teeth into my bottom lip, making me jerk against him. He went back for another deep kiss almost immediately that my head started to spin and zing when he started to pull away from my lips. I was breathing really hard and it didn’t help that the spot between my thighs was feeling really hot at the moment, all because he had decided to give me a kiss. He stared down at me and grinned a little, making my breath hitch as my stomach swoop and start to scatter around, and I blinked up at him really slowly, wanting him to do nothing but to lean back down and kiss me deeply once again. He didn’t end up kissing me when he started to lower his face again like I thought he was going to, what he ended up doing was to bury his face into my neck, making me arch up against him to stutter out a drawn out moan when he started to suck a hickey into my skin. I was about to f
Luca’s POV I grinned down at her Sofia when she let out another loud groan the very next moment, she was splayed out on the bed and I knew without any doubts that she wanted to do nothing more than to orgasm really bad in that moment. “Stop whining already, bunny.” I called out to her as I turned away from the bed and started to make my way to the bedside table where my phone was on. A quick glance at the wall some minutes ago showed that it was almost ten in the morning, which means I had managed to sleep in really, really long, probably the longest I had done in a really long time. I picked up my phone and quickly started to scroll through my emails, because I didn’t want it to pile up a lot like it had done one time. The email currently in my phone was a new one, but as expected, people had started to message me on there instantly. I turned my head around to stare back at the bed when a low whiny groan echoed from that direction of the room. Sofia’s head was buried in the she
Luca’s POV “Of course you don’t, but I think you’re going to have to try to fight that habit.” I paused and pulled out my thumb from her mouth when she started to suck on it in a way that made heat flare out in my throat. I waited for a few seconds before starting to slip my index finger into her mouth when she glanced up at me with wide blown eyes which she blinked up at me.“It’s cute and even sometimes hot, but I feel you’re always biting on it, and it’s almost turning into a habit of yours.” I slipped my index finger deeper into her mouth when she made to say something and her eyes widened for a moment before fluttering helplessly, as she started to suck on my finger.“Can you try to not bite on it for the rest of today?” I asked after a few seconds, puffing out a small breath when she bit on my finger a little as her suckling got somehow stronger on my finger as she started to nod her head at me.“Uh, yeah.” She whispered breathlessly when I finally pulled my finger out of h
Luca’s POV “Oh my gosh.” She whispered against my head as I moved up and down the first time and I knew she was genuinely panicking because I could almost feel how much her heart was racing against my back, and the fact that she was this scared for me was almost amusing to me.“Relax, bunny… you’re not going to fall off.” I said with a slow grin as I repeated that up and down motion for a few times, noting that I loved how she was clinging against me really tightly like a little koala, fuck, can she get any cuter than this?“I know that, I’m holding onto you really tightly, I’m worried for you.” She admitted just as another surprised sound flew out of her mouth when I moved really fast in the next second. I've got to admit that it did warm my heart a little. That she was this worried about me, it made my heart start to feel like it was suddenly bouncing around my chest.I shook my head as I laid still on the ground, feeling Sofia‘s heart race even faster against my back.“Bunny
Luca’s POV Sofia’s hands loosened from my shoulders and she was off me in the next moment. I flopped down completely once she was off my back and I turned around until I was laying on my back and I panted hard, dragging deep breaths into my lungs.I glanced up when I noticed a movement above me and in the next second, she was flopping down beside me.“You’re sweating so much, I wonder how your back must be hurting right now.” She started to say as she started to mop my face and throat with a soft towel that smelled really nice, it smelled so much of her hair that I couldn’t help but take a deep breath from it.“It doesn’t hurt that much.” I said to her with a small laugh and I watched as she scowled down at me before continuing to dab at my face with a small huff.“I knew you were going to say that.” She pointed out in the next second.“You’re so damn cute when you fuss this way.” I said to her after a few minutes had passed and I wasn’t trying to catch my breath any longer.She
Luca’s POV The rain might end up falling today and it was already very obvious by just staring at the clouds. It was currently some time during early noon, I had just finished having my first food for the day and was making my way into my office here at home. Sofia had said she was going to try to paint something today and I had wanted to check on a lot of things, and to also get to my best friend because we were supposed to attend to a lot of things today as well as making some plans today, and all I had done after I had woken up late today was to send him a quick text, but he deserved an actual call from me.And so, I started to call him after a few minutes of me settling into my seat. The air in here was really cold. I loved just how it felt against my skin. I was in a very light shirt at the moment and I might end up ditching it after a while because I really wanted to feel the cold air against my skin.James picked up the call on the first ring and the first thing he said
Sofia’s pov The kids had been bursting with excitement, which only meant one thing. It meant more headaches for Luca and I.“Baby, we talked about this, didn’t we? You can’t check the presents until it’s Christmas.” I murmured to Aria while holding her against my chest. She was clearly unhappy about this tiny rule because her frown deepened at once.“But it’s so far awayyyyy! No one is gonna know if I take a peek.”I chuckled as I let her slid down. “Daddy is gonna know.” I reminded her and that seemed to make her have a change of heart.“Oh.” She hesitated a little. “I guess I can wait a bit more.”“More like one more day, honey cause it’s tomorrow!” I gushed out and a grin split out on her face.“Really?!” She demanded and after getting another confirmation, she went off to find her brother, leaving me to myself. I sighed as I watched her leave with a fond smile on my face while massaging my forehead. I called out to her to be careful before I got back to what I was doing before.
FOUR YEARS LATER Sofia’s pov “Be careful, honey!” I called out at once, but I doubt she heard me as she hurriedly raced forward till she was standing before James, a glass of milk carefully clutched in her hand.“Here it is, Uncle James!” She called out enthusiastically and a familiar feeling of fondness swelled in my heart as I watched as an exaggerated look of awe got plastered on James’ face as he accepted the glass of milk.“Thank you, Aria! You’re so hardworking.” He complimented as he took a few gulps of the milk because a tiny sip wasn’t gonna be accepted by Aria who’s clearly still waiting for more compliments.“It tastes so nice and fresh, wow.” James gushed and I listened as Aria’s pleased giggles filled up the room. She began to bounce on her toes when she began to speak. “If you noticed, uncle James, the glass wasn’t totally filled up this time because mommy said that’s how it’s supposed to be to avoid it spilling from the top, and I listened to mommy because she’s alwa
Luca’s POV The bouquet of flowers I had gotten on the way home was a mixture of lilies and tulips, and I paired it with a bunch of balloons and a wrapped gift on the side. It’s a little past six and I couldn’t wait to be home already. I couldn’t wait to get home to my wife and our babies.Work has been quite stressful for the past month, the mafia aspect, to be specific. After news of my wife giving birth circulated around, I already knew that the amount of enemies I have was automatically gonna triple, and in order to keep my family safe, I was gonna have to be more at alert. The mafia clan had thrown a party in celebration after the birth of our babies, and I had purposely attended it alone, keeping my wife and kids far away from a gathering like that because it was filled with dangerous people from top to bottom.“Your enemies are gonna start attacking you even more now that you have a successor. People who have hoped to replace you if you ended up dying without an h
Sofia’s pov TWO YEARS LATER “I look ugly and bloated.” I blurted out while eying my reflection in the floor length mirror in the walk-in closet. Luca, who had been running a comb through his hair, paused for a moment before throwing me a glance, and then a smile bloomed on his face.“Of course you don’t! How can you even think that when you look like a goddess right now.” He murmured, discarding his comb and heading in my direction. I pouted at my reflection, not at all impressed by what I was looking at.“Now you’re just lying cause I’m sure goddesses don’t look this bad. My face is swollen and I literally feel like I’m gonna die.” Luca who had now eased up behind me let out a chuckle into my hair as his hand slid around my waist to carefully cradle my large stomach from the sides.“You still look very gorgeous to me. I don’t think your face is ugly, neither do I think you’re no longer sexy, because you still are. Did last night not explain that enough?” He chuckled at the end of
Luca’s pov It was clear as day that this particular topic has been troubling Sofia for a while now. I could tell from how she was wringing her fingers. I lifted her fingers and brushed my lips across it, and then I let out a long sigh.“If I’m gonna be honest, I haven’t actually thought about it. I just assumed you don’t want them and I was cool with that.” Her eyes widened comically as she whispered. “But… I want children.”I hummed. “I see that now.” “You don’t want children?” Sofia asked after a few moments and I slowly shook my head.“I don’t think I do, cause I don’t actually like the thought of bringing a child into a lifestyle as dangerous as my current one, and leaving the mafia is completely out of the question cause the past would end up catching up with me no matter what.”“Oh.” She whispered while chewing at the inside of her mouth.“Yes, love. But, that aside, I love babies. They’re always so cute and clueless of all the evils in the world.” Sofia laughed at th
Sofia’s pov TWO YEARS LATER*** The sounds of soft laughter filtered through the screen of the television I was currently staring at and a small smile tugged at the side of my lips as I averted my gaze and took a glance at the wall clock situated at the top of the wall here in the room. It was past eight in the evening, which indicated that Luca was almost home, and an excited feeling coursed down my spine. It doesn’t matter that Luca has almost returned home to me every damn day, that giddy feeling still engulfs me every day.Which is the best thing ever, said my therapist when we stumbled on that topic. It’s been over two years and till date, I’m still yet to stop seeing my therapist. She, a Middle aged woman, has made me feel so much love and comfort than my mother has done for me throughout the past two decades that I’ve been alive. The sounds of cute giggles emitting from the television screen grabbed my attention and once again, I focused on it. This time, my bre
Sofia’s pov The weeks flew by faster than i could keep up with.Healing was slower than I anticipated, and I hated almost every second of it, if I was being honest, but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t willingly take another bullet for Luca if I could, because I will. Luca had gotten extremely displeased when I offhandedly said those same words to him, and he made me promise to never, ever do that again.I stayed in the hospital for months, because Luca wanted me to be completely healed before getting discharged. The flowers that got sent to me by every well wishers had gotten thrown out more than three times because at a point, they all began to rot.A little gathering was thrown in celebration of my release from the hospital. Everybody was there waiting in the house as entered the house, from Kayla and her husband, Travis, to Armani and his girlfriend, Nala, to James and his fiancée, Blair, to Angelo. It was relieving to finally be home and be surrounded by so much love right now ma
Sofia’s pov ‘Was this how it feels to float?’I asked myself over and over again, the more time I spent in that same unending loophole. It felt like I was stuck in a fluffy space, but instead of sinking, I remained afloat.Muffled voice could be heard coming from multiple sides at once but I couldn’t make any word out, neither could I tell each voice apart from the other.I limbs literally felt nonexistent because I couldn’t wait use of them no matter how much I tried. It’s almost weird how it’s pitch dark in this fluffy space, preventing me from making anything out.Or perhaps, I was the one who had my eyes closed throughout, I realized when I discovered that I could feel my eyelids twitch a little. I tried to get my eyes open after that, but ended up giving up after trying over and over again to no avail. I drifted straight into an unconscious state after that.When I came to once again, I felt warm fingers around mine. The fingers felt familiar in a way, and with everyth
Sofia’s pov The scream that left my mouth this time was completely silent as I watched as the kneeling man who was apparently working with Ryan, fell to the ground face first after being shot by Ryan. That sent a more terrified feeling down my spine, because not only was Ryan crazy, he was clearly also heartless as hell. Seeing how he could effortless kill off his own partner made it more obvious that it wouldn’t be hard for him to kill me if he wants to, and that he wasn’t just bluffing by threatening to shoot me.“Fuck, man, you really are a freak. Your own partner?” Angelo mused with an unimpressed look on his face. Luca snorted and leveled Ryan with a look. “That’s not something a Ricci would do, you know?”“Well it’s a good thing I’m not a fucking one, okay? And now that I’ve killed my partner myself, you clearly don’t have anything to threaten me with, I have nothing to lose in this situation unlike the rest of you.” Ryan responded haughtily, sneering as he tugged on my hair.
