City of Love (Luca)

last update Last Updated: 2025-03-12 07:54:23

Paris was different at night.

The streets were alive in a way that felt almost electric—cobblestone paths glistening under the golden streetlights, the air humming with soft laughter, distant music, and the occasional clink of champagne glasses from the restaurants lining the Seine.

And right now, walking hand in hand with Sienna, I had never felt so… light.

The past year had been a storm, and we had barely come out of it alive. But here, in Paris, with her fingers laced between mine, with no threats looming over our heads, no debt, no fights, no fear… it felt like we were finally breathing.

Sienna let out a soft laugh, tugging on my hand as she pulled me toward a small, hidden alleyway. “Come on, let’s go this way.”

I raised an eyebrow. “You do realize this is how people get kidnapped in movies, right?”

She shot me a playful glare. “You’re literally the scariest man in this city. I think I’ll be fine.”

I smirked but let her lead me deeper into the alley. It opened into a tiny courtya

  • Falling for the Enemy    Midnight Whispers ( Sienna)

    I woke up to the sound of steady breathing and the warmth of Luca’s body pressed against mine. The soft glow of the Paris skyline seeped through the floor-to-ceiling windows, bathing our hotel room in a golden hue.For a moment, I just existed in the quiet.No chaos. No fear. No past clawing at my heels.Just the rhythmic rise and fall of Luca’s chest beneath my hand, the weight of his arm draped lazily over my waist, and the feeling of absolute safety wrapped around me like a second skin.It felt unreal.Paris had always been a fantasy, a faraway dream I never thought I’d see up close. But waking up here, wrapped up in him, felt like something more—like a new beginning.Luca stirred beside me, his lips ghosting over my shoulder before he let out a low, sleep-roughened groan. “You’re staring at me.”I smiled. “You always know.”His grip on my waist tightened as he buried his face in my neck, his voice muffled. “Because you never stop.”I laughed softly, brushing my fingers through his

  • Falling for the Enemy    Let’s Make Love in Paris (Sienna)

    Paris was a dream at night. A living, breathing fantasy wrapped in golden lights and soft music drifting through the air. From our hotel suite, the Eiffel Tower stood proudly in the distance, its lights flickering like a heartbeat, like it was alive. The soft murmur of the Seine below, the occasional laughter of pedestrians, and the distant hum of the city all blended into a quiet lullaby.But my focus wasn’t on the city.It was on Luca.He stood on the balcony, shirtless, a cigarette lazily balanced between his fingers. The night breeze ruffled his dark hair, his tattooed back flexing slightly with each slow inhale. The sight of him was intoxicating—broad shoulders, toned muscles, the ink on his skin catching the soft glow of the city lights.God, he was breathtaking.And he was mine.I wrapped my silk robe tighter around me and stepped onto the balcony. The cool night air kissed my bare skin, sending a shiver down my spine.Luca didn’t turn, but I knew he felt me.“Can’t sleep?” he

    The morning after was different.Not in a bad way. In a this-is-forever kind of way.Sienna lay beside me, wrapped in nothing but the white hotel sheets, her bare shoulder peeking out as the early morning Parisian sun bathed her in golden light. Her hair was a mess from my hands tangling in it last night, her lips were slightly swollen from the way I had devoured them, and she had that sated, relaxed look that made my chest tighten with something I couldn’t name.I’d had my fair share of women before, but none of them had ever undone me the way she did.Last night had been more than just sex. It had been a goddamn awakening.I brushed a strand of hair from her face, my fingers lingering against her cheek. Her lips parted slightly at my touch, a soft sigh escaping as she stirred.“Are you watching me sleep, Russo?” she murmured, eyes still closed.I smirked. “Watching. Admiring. Same thing.”Her eyes finally fluttered open, still hazy from sleep. “That sounds like something a stalker w

    The flight home was long, but not unbearable. Not with Luca beside me.We spent most of it wrapped up in our own little world—whispered conversations, stolen kisses, and a few moments where he looked at me like he was seconds away from pulling me into the tiny airplane bathroom to relive our last night in Paris.I was half tempted to let him.But reality crashed in the second we landed.My phone buzzed nonstop the moment I switched it off airplane mode. Cassie, my mom, even Lila had texted, all throwing different versions of the same message at me: Family dinner. Be there. No excuses.I sighed, locking my phone before leaning into Luca’s shoulder. “Are we sure we don’t want to just book the next flight back to Paris?”He smirked, wrapping an arm around me. “Tempting, but no. We face this.”“Ugh. I was afraid you’d say that.”Luca kissed my temple before standing, grabbing our carry-on bags from the overhead bin. “Come on, princess. Let’s go face the wolves.”AT THE AIRPORT – ARRIVALS

  • Falling for the Enemy    Settling In (Luca & Sienna)

    (Luca’s POV)I never thought coming home would feel like this.After everything—years of tension, family wars, the weight of debts and bloodshed—I expected some lingering unease. A shadow of the past hovering over us, waiting for a moment to sink its claws back in.But when I woke up that morning, Sienna curled up against my chest, her soft breaths fanning my skin, it hit me.We’d won.Not just against the ghosts of our families’ pasts. Not just against the weight of the debt that had nearly crushed her.We’d won the right to be happy.And now, for the first time in our lives, we had to figure out what happiness actually looked like.BACK TO ROUTINEThe morning was slow.Sienna stretched beside me, her bare skin brushing against mine, and I tightened my grip around her waist, pressing a kiss to her temple.“Morning,” she murmured, still half-asleep.“Morning, princess.”She let out a hum, burrowing closer. “We have to go back to school soon.”I groaned. “Why’d you have to ruin a perfe

    Graduation was just a few weeks away, and for the first time in a long time, life finally felt normal.Well, as normal as it could be after everything Luca and I had been through.No more debts. No more threats looming over us. No more battles to fight.It was just us now—figuring out what the future looked like.LAST WEEKS OF SCHOOLCampus felt different.Maybe it was because I had changed, or maybe it was because, for once, I wasn’t walking around with the weight of my family’s problems on my shoulders.Cassie, of course, was already planning our graduation party.“You guys have to let me plan something huge,” she insisted, linking her arm through mine as we walked across campus. “I’m talking rooftop party, champagne showers, the celebration of the year.”I laughed, shaking my head. “Cass, I love you, but I just want something small. Just friends, just family. Something… personal.”She groaned. “Ugh, you’re no fun.”I nudged her. “I think I’ve had enough drama for a lifetime.”Cassi

    If someone had told me a year ago that I’d be standing here, dressed in a cap and gown, with Sienna by my side, I would have laughed in their face.But here we were.After everything—the debts, the fights, the betrayals, the near-death experiences—we had made it.And for the first time in a long time, I wasn’t looking over my shoulder.THE CEREMONYThe stadium was packed. Students, family, friends—everyone gathered to celebrate an ending and a beginning.I sat beside Ethan, adjusting my cap for the hundredth time. “This thing is ridiculous.”Ethan smirked. “Who knew the great Luca Russo had issues with wearing a hat?”I shot him a glare. “Shut up.”His laughter was drowned out by the crowd as the ceremony began.Sienna was seated a few rows away, but even from here, I could see her.She looked… radiant.Her eyes were shining, her smile soft, and every time she laughed at something Cassie whispered to her, I felt my chest tighten.God, I loved that woman.The speeches dragged on.

    Italy.Even in my wildest dreams, I had never imagined waking up to the sound of the Mediterranean waves, wrapped in Luca’s arms, with the scent of fresh pastries and espresso drifting through the air.But here we were.Our first morning in Positano.The small villa we rented sat on the edge of a cliff, with a view so beautiful it didn’t seem real. The sun was barely rising, casting a golden glow over the water, and the air was warm, carrying the scent of salt and citrus.I stretched, my body sore in the best way from the very thorough activities of last night.Luca stirred beside me, his arm tightening around my waist. “Where do you think you’re going?” His voice was thick with sleep.I smiled, rolling over to face him. “I thought I’d watch the sunrise.”His eyes were still heavy with sleep, but a smirk tugged at his lips. “The view’s better from here.”I bit my lip, running my fingers down his bare chest. “You say that about everything.”Luca caught my hand and pressed a kiss to my

  • Falling for the Enemy    Extended Epilogue ( A New Legacy)

    (Sienna’s POV)The house was alive with laughter, the scent of fresh flowers and warm food mingling in the air as the guests arrived one after another. It felt surreal—this moment, this day. A day that marked the beginning of something far greater than Luca and me. It was the start of a new legacy, a new generation.I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the delicate lace on my white and gold dress. The fitted bodice hugged my waist, the flowy skirt cascading down to the floor in elegant waves. It was tradition to wear white for purity, for new beginnings, and today, everything felt pure.“Are you ready?” Luca’s voice came from behind me, deep and soothing.I turned, and there he was—my husband, the father of my children, the love of my life. He looked breathtaking in his custom-fitted navy-blue suit, the gold cufflinks matching the accents on my dress. His dark hair was styled to perfection, but it was his eyes—the way they softened when they met mine—that made my heart race.“As

    (Sienna’s POV)The house was finally quiet. It was a fragile silence, the kind that came after hours of soothing newborn cries, calming restless toddlers, and making sure everything was set for the next day. I stood at the doorway of the nursery, my fingers gripping the frame as I watched my daughters sleeping soundly in their cribs.Elena and Isabella.It still felt surreal, even though I had spent the past eight weeks holding them, feeding them, memorizing every little detail about their tiny features. The gentle rise and fall of their chests, the way Isabella’s little fingers always curled around her sister’s when they were placed beside each other, the way Elena would turn her head in search of my voice.A soft smile tugged at my lips.It wasn’t just them that made my heart feel impossibly full—it was everything. The house, now brimming with life. The sound of Matteo and Alessandro’s giggles echoing through the halls. The way Luca looked at me with a depth of love that made me wea

    (Luca's POV) Sienna was asleep.After more than fifteen hours of labor, screaming, crying, and a near bone-breaking grip on my hand, she had finally drifted into a well-earned rest. Her body was utterly exhausted, her face soft in slumber, strands of hair still sticking to her forehead.But me? I couldn’t sleep. Not even for a second.Because right in front of me, in the transparent bassinet beside Sienna’s hospital bed, lay our daughters.My daughters.I still couldn’t wrap my head around it. It didn’t feel real. How could it? One moment, it was just the two of us—just me and Sienna, figuring out life, navigating chaos, and now… now there were four of us.My heart clenched.They were so tiny. So fragile.One of them let out a small, soft sigh in her sleep, her tiny fingers twitching before settling against the soft pink blanket wrapped around her. Her sister lay beside her, her lips pursed slightly, looking just as peaceful.Matteo had arrived with Alessandro a few hours ago, and af

    (Luca's POV) Time had never felt so slow and so fast at the same time.The past eight months had been a whirlwind. From setting up the nursery to attending doctor’s appointments, every single day had been a countdown to this moment. And now—now it was here.Sienna was in labor.And I was losing my goddamn mind.I had rehearsed this moment a thousand times. I had planned, prepared, and memorized every step of the process. But all of that went out the window the second Sienna gripped my arm and gasped, “Luca… my water just broke.”For a solid five seconds, I stared at her like a complete idiot.Then chaos erupted.“Okay—okay! We’re ready! We have the bag! We have the—where’s my phone?!” I patted down my pockets, my movements jerky and uncoordinated. My heart was pounding so loudly in my ears that I barely heard Sienna groan.“Luca,” she exhaled, gripping the kitchen counter as she breathed through a contraction. “Stop panicking.”“I’m not panicking,” I lied, my hands shaking as I reach

    (Sienna's POV) The news of our twin girls spread like wildfire. By the time Luca and I had finished calling everyone in our immediate circle, our families had already told their friends, and somehow, I suspected half the neighborhood knew too.Luca’s mother had called again—twice—to ask if she could start planning the baby shower immediately. My own mother had sent me a list of name suggestions before I could even finish breakfast. Even Cassie had texted me with an absurd amount of baby girl outfits she wanted to buy.And through all of this, Luca looked like a man who had been hit by a freight train.“Are you okay?” I asked him as he slumped against the kitchen counter, staring at his phone.He let out a slow breath. “I just got a message from my uncle. He says congratulations, and that we should start looking into bulletproof windows for when the girls are teenagers.”I snorted. “He’s not wrong.”Luca groaned, rubbing his face. “Sienna, do you realize how much trouble I’m in?”I ra

    (Luca’s POV)I didn’t know how long I sat there, staring at the ultrasound screen like a man who’d just had his entire world flipped upside down. Twin girls.Two.Jesus Christ.I ran a hand through my hair, exhaling sharply as I tried to process the reality of it. One baby had already been enough to completely wreck me in the best possible way, but two? I was so f***ed.Sienna was watching me, her fingers squeezing mine, probably waiting for me to say something more profound than the string of curses I’d already let loose. But my mind was short-circuiting.Twin daughters.“Luca,” she murmured, her voice softer now, like she was worried about me.I shook myself out of the trance, blinking at her before looking back at the screen, where two tiny, indistinct shapes flickered with life. My daughters.I swallowed hard, my chest tightening with something dangerously close to tears. “They’re so small,” I rasped.Dr. Caldwell chuckled. “That’s because they’re only about ten weeks along. But I

    (Sienna’s POV)I sat on the edge of the bed, my fingers idly tracing the fabric of my nightgown. The past few months had been a whirlwind—recovery, adjusting back to normal life, and trying to find a sense of peace after everything we’d been through. Luca had been my rock, never leaving my side, always knowing exactly what I needed before I even said a word. And now, as the early morning light filtered through the curtains, I found myself staring down at the pregnancy test in my hands.Two lines.Two lines.I blinked. My breath hitched.No. This couldn’t be right.I grabbed another test from the drawer—one of the fancy digital ones. My hands shook as I followed the instructions, waiting the agonizing minutes for the result.“Pregnant. 3+ weeks.”A choked gasp left my lips. My heart pounded so hard I could hear it in my ears.Pregnant.I pressed a hand to my stomach, a thousand thoughts racing through my mind. We hadn’t been trying, not exactly, but we also hadn’t been preventing it. I

    Luca's POV I never thought the sight of home would make my chest ache the way it did today. As the car rolled up the driveway, the massive wrought-iron gates slowly opening, I tightened my grip on Sienna’s hand.“We’re here, baby,” I murmured, pressing a kiss to her temple.Her head rested against the seat, exhaustion still etched into her delicate features, but when she lifted her gaze to meet mine, I saw something there—relief. Hope. A softness that had been missing for too long.She smiled, small but real. “Home,” she whispered, as if testing the word on her tongue.It had been months of uncertainty, months of fighting battles that neither of us had been prepared for. The long nights in the hospital, the painful procedures, the endless waiting for answers that never seemed to come fast enough. But we had made it through.And now, we were finally back where we belonged.The front door swung open before the driver even fully stopped the car. My mother rushed out first, wiping her ha

    (Sienna’s POV)The hospital doors slid open, ushering in a crisp breeze that smelled like rain-soaked pavement. It was the scent of freedom, of normalcy, of the life we had fought so hard to return to. After what felt like an eternity inside these sterile white walls, we were finally walking out as a family again.Luca held Matteo in his arms, pressing a soft kiss to our son’s temple. Matteo had always been a light sleeper, but today, exhaustion had won, and he rested against his father’s chest, his small fingers curled into the fabric of Luca’s hoodie. Alessandro clutched my hand tightly, his grip firm as if he were afraid someone would try to pull us back inside. He had been so strong through all of this, stronger than any five-year-old should ever have to be.Outside, Dr. Caldwell and Dr. Moreau stood near the entrance, watching us go.“Remember,” Dr. Moreau said, adjusting the glasses perched on his nose, “his immune system is still delicate.
