Luca’s POV “Uh, no. No, I don’t” She finally responded in a small voice, after a few more seconds had passed. She knew what exactly it was that I wanted, knew that I needed her to respond to me vocally, but had purposely refused to not do that – until I had called out her name the way I did, some moments ago.Someone’s definitely getting a settling spanking tonight, I thought silently to myself as I hummed a little, giving her a pointed look for a few seconds, right before I turned around and started to head towards the entrance of the sitting room, and not before I slipped a glance at Armani who was staring down at his thighs, obviously trying to make himself as small as possible, to make him become as invisible as ever– as soon as he had realized the whole thing that had been happening between the both of us.I made my way out of the sitting room, making my way through the hallway and around the part that led into the kitchen. I headed straight into the walk-in freezer, fishing
Luca’s POV “Thank you, Sarah.” Armani said to Sarah with a warm smile playing across his lips as soon as Sarah set his plate before him, a few moments ago. Sarah smoke back at him instantly and whispered something to him and after caffe more seconds, she was heading out of the dining room and closing the door behind her. Sofia was sitting at my right hand side and Armani was sitting directly before her, at the other side of the table, the exact spot where James had sat in, some days ago when he had come over to do something with me and had decided to stay back for dinner.We all started to eat after a few moments and my eyes kept straying back to Sofia every few minutes, but nothing seemed to be off around her, she seemed to be doing just fine and she was also eating her food just fine. There wasn’t a lot of conversation going around the three of us who were currently sitting around the table, which was pretty fine by me.The quiet was also very good, it made more room in my head
Luca’s POV “She didn’t?” Armani asked and Sofia started to nod her head. “Yeah, she didn’t. It was all Matilda.”Armani turned towards me before starting to speak. “Who’s Matilda though, she was the other woman in the kitchen with Sarah, right?” He asked and I found myself breathing out a small laugh right before I started to speak. “Oh, wait. They didn’t tell you who she was? I thought she introduced herself to you when I left you in the kitchen with them for a while.” I asked after a moment, as I started to drag one of my finger against the top of Sofia’s thigh, and I felt that particular thigh tremble a little beneath my touch.“She didn’t, but she’s really friendly and cool, so it didn’t cross my mind to ask – and even if it had eventually crossed my mind, I don’t think I’d have asked her because I might have ended up sounding rude to her.” Armsni explained with a small lift of his shoulders and I nodded my head a little, flashing Sofia a subtle look as I started to slide my
Luca’s POV I said to him with a jerk of my head and I watched as he remained still at first, right before he nodded his head after a fleeting second.“I’ll be turning in for now, I hope you don’t mind.” Armani’s voice was soft and a little bit lower than usual as he spoke, while glancing down at Sofia who was looking up at him and I watched as Sofia started to shake her head almost immediately.“Ah, no no… I do not mind, I don’t. You’re probably really stressed at the moment from the flight and the ride back from the airport, so it’s very understandable that you’re heading out at the moment, and there’s a lot of time for us to hang out tomorrow as well.” Sofia finally paused and breathed out a slow breath, and I noticed the small smile that started to bloom on Armani’s face the next moment.“Yeah, we can totally hang out together tomorrow, I’ll be looking forward to it.” Armani finally responded with a small lift of his shoulders.“I’ll be looking forward to it too.” Sofia echoed
Luca’s POV “Oh, they’re around, they’re all safe. I just didn’t add any of your old stuff here because I didn’t know if you are still attached to those things the way you used to be back then.” I started to speak with a small sigh slipping out of my mouth.“Oh, really? Wow, that’s so cool.” He breathed out in the next moment.“Yup, it’s still here.” I said once again.“Can I go through them tomorrow?” Ge asked as he started to make his way towards me and I nodded my head with a small chuckle.“Of course, of course you can. They’re your stuff after all.” I said to him in the next moment.“You’re the best, Luca.” Armani said softly as soon as he was standing before me, with a little bit of space between us and I nodded my head at him with a small lift of my shoulders.“I really am?” I asked after a few seconds and watched as he huffed out a small breath.“Yeah, you are. You’re the very best and I’m so glad I have you as a brother.” He finally continued.I felt a small smile start
Luca’s POV “I didn’t know…” I started to say at first but ended up trailing off as soon as I noticed that Armani’s eyes had started to water. I closed the distance between us and took him into my arms once again, and like expected, it started to break my heart as soon as I felt him start to quietly sob against me.“I’m so sorry, Armani.” I started to whisper as I brushed my fingers through the material of his shirt which he currently had on. I held him close against me, at this point, I was already somehow in sync with his body size and height in my arms due to how much we’ve been in this same kind of position countless times today. It was like both our bodies and soul were trying to make up for lost times bt akways seeking each other out this way. At this point, I wasn’t sure I could be able to count the amount of times I’ve taken him into my arms in a firm embrace since the moment I’ve set my eyes on him back at the airport, this late evening.“I’m so sorry, so so sorry.” I started
Luca’s POV “That was all a misunderstanding.” Armani groaned out while shooting me a narrowed gaze at me, feeling a little bit attacked, because that was obvious what all what I had previously said I had meant – but then, I was referring to myself as well and not just to him.I rolled my eyes a little in the next moment and puffed out a deep breath, and then I started to speak as soon as my eye was back to focusing on him.“Damn, you grew up to be one hot motherfucker.” I stated as I glanced at him intently, noting how his bulging bicep looked right here with no piece of material covering it from an open view. He had obviously been spending a whole lot of time at the gym, almost like the way I do, which was definitely why he was able to achieve this kind of body for himself.“Aish, stop saying that, it isn’t true.” Armani started to say in the next moment as he grinned a little and turned away from me after a few moments. His back was also ripped as fuck. It wasn’t as ripped as
Luca’s POV A grin broke out on her face in the next instant as she started to nod her head. “Yeah, I do.” She responded, voice quiet and warm, like silky lace brushing against my fingertips. I placed my palms on her thighs and slid it upwards, lightly trailing my fingertips over her warm skin until I was resting both hands on her hips. I lowered my gaze and took in how perfect she looked in my arms right now, sitting right here on my lap and looking this good.She was mine, all mine.I slid one of my hands off her hips, and moved it upwards until I was lightly skimming my fingers against the back of her throat, taking in how she jolted a little and leaned into my touch instantly, as a tiny breath slipped past her lips. Her hands which had been hanging loosely around my shoulders were now gripping on the material of my shirt in a firm grip.I gripped the back of her throat firmly after a few seconds, holding her against me with my other hand which was still around her hip, as sh
