Thank you for reading.
Camilla I’m so busy catching my breath that I barely notice the door has opened. Luca is still inside me when the door opens and his body is too big for me to see who is standing there. Or for them to see my face. The man must be horrified by what he sees that his voice rings, ‘’Five minutes and I’m coming back in.’’ and the door shuts. Luca pulls out of me and curses under his breath, ‘’That was dad.’’ He sighs in a frustrated tone and I frown. Did he forget that he tore my dress to pieces? ‘’ The man said he would be back after five minutes! My dress is in shreds!’’ My voice comes out stronger than it should and he holds the bridge of his nose in irritation. Blue eyes stare back at me and I drown in them, ‘’I know. Toren is on his way.’’ He says in a ‘’as a matter of fact tone.’’ ‘’What time did you contact him?’’ Curiosity grows deep inside me as I begin to wonder how that was possible. ‘’Just now.’’ He responds plainly and I don’t believe him. Right before I can call him
Luca I watch as she runs out the door and my heart hurts. Why am I bothered by how she is feeling? My father came here intentionally to test me but I’m not sure what his real angle is. My legs want to run after her but I can’t because he will use her against me especially after I saved her and as if reading my mind he laughs before he says, ‘’Are you not running after her?’’ ‘’Why would I do that?’’ I ask as I try to sound uninterested and bored. Right before I came in here, he was about to shit his pants from my threats and now less than an hour later, he suddenly has enough confidence to stand and try to corner me. He is up to something. ‘’Oh I don’t know, you tell me. Are you not the one who is always rescuing your damsel in distress?’’ he asks in a sarcastic tone and It takes everything in me not to land a beating on him but that is what he is looking for. A weakness in me is what he wants. A confirmation of how I feel, so they can use a bunch on bullshit hidden as rules t
Luca The kiss is intense, a mix of frustration, anger, and a dangerous longing. For a moment, everything around us fades, and it's just her lips on mine, her taste, her warmth. I feel her resistance at first, but then she succumbs to the unexpected kiss. When we finally pull away, her eyes are wide, and I see a myriad of emotions playing across her face—confusion, anger, maybe a hint of desire. I ignore the glares from those around us, the shocked whispers, and the disapproving looks. I only care about the woman in front of me It was meant to be a statement but now I feel really drawn to her and the foreign feeling that has been building inside me explodes. . "What the hell was that?" Camilla's voice is a sharp whisper, her eyes flashing with a mixture of emotions. "A reminder," I respond, my tone low and filled with a challenge. "A reminder that I’m not immune to the chaos, that I’m not as untouchable as they believe." I can also fall in love. That is the reminder I want to sen
Camilla I should run. I shouldn’t be standing here like my legs are tied to the ground but no matter how much I try, I’m still glued and pinned in place. It’s like I’m bound by a spell and only he can release me. He has put me through so much hell. Taken me away from what was going to help me make money faster, took my virginity, and made a fool out of me yesterday, and to make it worse, I don’t know how Adrian will react to it because as far as I know when you wrong this family, you sacrifice the entire generation. No matter how hard I try, my feelings keep getting in the way and as much as I want to be strong, I can't. It makes me so angry and I somehow feel like I have been disappointing my family. I can’t keep playing this game of lust with this man. But the command that comes makes it mission impossible. Only for tomorrow night. Just this one last time, I convince myself before turning my head and responding, ‘’Yes sir. But I have no dress to wear.’’ I can feel Luca’s eyes
Camilla The ride back home all goes in a blur and I don’t even know how I walk up to my room. ‘’Earth to Camilla.’’ Melody snaps her fingers and I smile. ‘’Hey.’’ She pulls me into my room. ‘’You look like you were hit by a truck.’’ she teases as she takes the bags from my hands and I shrug. ‘’Having a party without me?’’ Ella’s voice comes through and Melody stands right away. ‘’Mrs. Moretti.’’ she addresses her respectfully and only then does it hit me that she is not of our level now. But I'm sure she will always be her sweet self. It is us who will have a hard time adjusting. ‘’Oh no! Please call me Ella. Please, I insist. I hope you won’t change how you treat me just because I got married to Adrian.’’ She says and I smile. Of course we will, I say to myself. Adrian will have our heads on a platter. Melody shifts uncomfortably but remains silent. ‘’So, dinner huh?’’ ‘’It came as a surprise even to me.’’ I try to explain before they both think otherwise. ‘’Show us the b
Luca The feeling inside me keeps throwing me off the radar. I don’t know if she meant what she said or if she was simply joking but it still angered me heavily. As I wait downstairs for her to come I can’t help but wonder, ‘’What the fuck are you up to A?’’ Adrian just shrugs as he leans on the wall next to me. ‘’ Playing matchmaker.’’ He responds sarcastically.’’ ‘’Why the fuck would a Don play matchmaker? Don’t you have better things to do?’’ Curiosity grows inside me as I try to understand what he is truly up to. But one thing is for sure, I’m very irritated. ‘’We have a board meeting tomorrow. Don’t forget.’’He responds. Ignoring my question completely. I’m about to curse at him when a sound of heels rings through the air and I look up. Everything is in slow motion for a while as I watch Camilla descend the stairs. She is a vision in red which makes my breath catch in my throat. The elegant gown clings to her curves, the color complementing her olive skin in a way that is
Camilla My breath catches as I watch the intensity in his eyes. I'm thrown back and I don't know how to take the turn of events. I promised myself I would get over this man but him standing this close and asking me to go to the dinner naked just for him doesn't only turn me on, but it also throws me off my track to recovery. "Right here?" I whisper like a fool. I should be screaming and cursing at him. He runs his forefinger on my collarbone with his signature touch and I shiver slightly, "Right here." He whispers back in his hoarse voice. Trusting no one is coming, I move three steps backward and lock my eyes on him as I slowly start to pull my panties down. "Fuck! That's so hot!" He curses under his breath and it makes me so wet to see him turned on by me. "Maybe we shouldn't go." I try to seduce him but he just shakes his head. He walks toward me and closes the gap then pulls me to him before he speaks, "As much as I would want that to happen, baby girl, we have to go."
Camilla I stare at the mirror as the girl Luca took me to fixes my hair. I had to change and get new makeup in spite of what he said and I don't know what I feel about that. " What do you think?" She asks kindly. Her work is amazing and I definitely look better than I did earlier, "I love it thank you." I respond softly. She removes the towel that was wrapped around me as she smiles, "You're welcome. " "Thank you, G." Luca's voice echoes and I turn to see them exchange hugs, and a feeling of jealousy twists in my stomach. G? They're on a nickname basis? It's none of my business. I try to convince myself but as I walk out to the car, my heart clenches painfully. Jealousy is a disease and I don't want to feel it. I try as much as I can to ignore the feeling and as Luca sits next to me, I can't help but shift uncomfortably. "Are you okay?" He asks in a deep low voice and for a minute, it feels like it's not me he is talking to. "Yes. I'm alright." I smile faintly and he mo
