When Luca had decided to come to check in on her, he never thought he would meet her awake and it never crossed his mind that they would end up in the position that they were currently in, she wrapped up in his arms on the bed, with his lips locked on hers, their lips parting to find each other’s tongues. he gently nibbled her bottom lips before licking and kissing it again, her hands tangled in his hair, and whimpers of pleasure escaped from her mouth. He turned around and placed her gently on the bed, his lips not leaving hers, he liked how she tasted and wanted to drown in the fill of her. It had been so long since he kissed a woman that he was so sure he was doing it all wrong but her whimpers of pleasure as their lips smashed and mated encouraged him. he wanted to take it a step further but he didn’t want to rush her as he wasn’t so sure just how much she could take. He broke the kiss just to look at her and she stared back at him with her mouth open. “Your lips,”He let out, st
“Stop thinking about it!!!”Nora scolded herself for the uncountable time, she couldn’t keep count of how many times she had had to catch herself and stop herself from thinking about what happened with Luca last night and just how far she would have gone with him if that call hadn’t come in, she had been so ready to give herself to him and take him too, she felt ashamed that she couldn’t control herself around him. Last night, when his lips had circled around her breast, playing with them, it had been the best thing that had ever been done to her body and she had wanted him to do more, was going to let him do more to her and then the call had come and she had returned back to her senses; she remembered who he was and why it was wrong to want him or have anything to do with him. One thing she was able to confirm last night was that Luca was a skilled lover and would love her body so right that she might not be able to be with another man after him. He was just that kind of man whose t
As he spoke, his eyes fell for her chest again and Nora felt them both tingle, remembering how he had sucked on them last night made her hot. She shook her head again to get back on track. No way was she going to let herself get seduced by his words. She needed to remember just what they were and how she ended up with him. Sex was the last thing that the both of them should be thinking about when it comes to each other. It shouldn’t even happen at all. “Luca, don’t forget why and how we both ended up here, I am not about to forget so if you think I am going to put everything that happened aside just for a kiss, then you are wrong,”Nora said. She felt proud of how firm and serious her voice sounded even though that’s not how she felt inside, her words seemed to deliver the right result because Luca’s expression grew serious too. It took a long moment for him to say anything else and when he finally spoke, his voice sounded different than it had been a while ago. “You are right, I sh
“No, can’t you just do what you have to do during the day? The cooks on duty can always help and then you can come back to me at night, I mean you can come back to the house at night,”She corrected when she realized saying come back to her sounded too intimate. She couldn’t believe she was negotiating with him over him staying with her. “I can’t Cara, plus, you should like it, I mean, after what happened last night and how you reacted to it, it is only right that we stay away from each other, as you can see, I don’t think I can keep my hands to myself when you are near me, I feel something Nora, and if I stay, it will definitely happen because you feel it too,”He was correct and she wanted to agree with him but the thought of him not being with her left a bitter taste in her mouth, it was only a couple of days to Christmas and she already thought he would be here with her during the celebration but it seemed like he would not be and she didn’t like it at all. She didn’t want to be
Luca tossed and turned throughout the night, he couldn’t fall asleep when all he wanted to do was go to the room where Nora was sleeping and kiss her again, he wanted to do more than just kiss her, he wanted to sink himself into her so that they will become one; he couldn’t remember the last time he had wanted someone so much that it was all he could think about, why did it have to be Nora? If it was someone else, it would have been much easier for him to resist but it just had to be the hazel-eyed beauty who he had wronged in more ways than he can count. Good thing she was the sensitive one, if she hadn’t told him off and reminded him what they were to each other, he would not have been able to hold himself back. Going years without knowing a woman’s touch and suddenly he was a hungry man who hungered for one woman whom he shouldn’t even be looking at in the first place. When he had gone back to the office earlier, he had decided to find someone to help her so that he would not have
It was Christmas evening and he was currently in his office, checking out the stuff Nicho had brought for him. There was nothing new, just what they already knew. He honestly wanted to find out what Emilino’s motives were but nothing came up. He had thought of calling Nora to wish her a merry Christmas when the clock hit twelve but he decided not to and instead focused on what he was doing. His phone rang and he picked it up and placed it on his ear. “Nicho,” “Boss, we found one of the men who was part of the shooting and took him to the warehouse, I thought I should let you know. the bastard is refusing to spill about who sent him but he agreed to be one of those who shot at us that night,”Nicho told him. “Nicho, let Ted handle things there until I get there, I need you to find out where Emilino might be tonight, I want to end this. I know he was responsible for what happened, I just need to get the reason why from him.”Luca told Nicho, he was done trying to find out why, what b
“Put your dress on and get out of this place,”Luca told her. She didn’t wait to be told twice and got to work immediately. He turned to Emilino who was shivering in fear. The man didn’t even have any form of protection. Did he really think he could go on with his life as if nothing happened after taking the life of his men? He must think he has nine lives. Luca spared the lady a look and his eyes landed on the bag of money in the room. “Hey, you might want to take that as compensation for what the bastard did to you, that’s if you can find your way out of here with it safely, it will be enough to pay for your way out of the country and start a new life somewhere far away,”Luca told her. She looked like she didn’t want to take it at first but she grabbed the bag, Emilino leaped towards her when she did and Luca stopped him by putting his leg out, and the bastard fell to his face. “Don’t fucking take my money if you don’t want to die,”He yelled at her from the fall. “Take everythi
Christmas evening, Nora sat alone in the dark, the new help, Maya already turned in for the night, and even though Nora knew Luca might not show up as she hadn’t seen him for three whole days now, she still sat there waiting for him. The whole Christmas day was spent doing nothing, she had woken up in a bad mood, feeling lonely and useless. before her parents passed, she used to spend the holidays in a happy mood, after they passed, work at the lab and Rose kept her away from feeling lonely, she would spend the whole day working and by evening, she would go out with Rose for fun and then the next morning, they would show up at Rose’s parent’s house and be fed the Christmas leftovers and get presents too. This year was the loneliest Christmas for her, not only was she in a foreign country, she didn’t have anyone she knew and Rose had not called her throughout the day either. she understood that Rose would be having fun and expecting her to do the same, that’s why she didn’t bother t
“I am three months pregnant, we are going to be parents too, I told him last night and Luca is so excited about being a dad again,”Nora told Rose. It was Rose’s turn to tear up. “Oh, baby, I am so proud of you, congratulations my love,”Roseline said, hugging her again. “Thank you, Roseline, it feels so good to have you here with me at a time like this, it makes it even more special,”Nora told her. “You know that I won’t give up an opportunity to see a place like this, this house is a literal castle and Luca said I could take a tour around and he even agreed to be my tour guide, payment for stealing you away from me, he also agreed to one more thing but I am not telling,”Roseline cheered; “Both of you are crazy but I love you guys, let’s go up to the room that you will be using,”Nora said and they both walked upstairs to the room she had prepared for Roseline, they spent the whole day chic-chatting, and even when Luca came back, she didn’t leave Roseline. They had dinner toget
Nora woke up in a happy mood. Last night was one of the best nights of her life. Not only was she going to be a mom, but she was also going to marry the man of her dreams. She reached out for him but the space next to her was empty, she opened her eyes and the bed was empty, she checked the time. “Fucking hell,”she yelped and got out of bed. She had to go pick Rose up from the airport in less than an hour. “You are finally up,”Luca voiced, he was all dressed while she still had morning. “Luca? Why didn’t you wake me up? Rose will be in soon, I am going to be late,”She let out as she rushed out of bed, she couldn’t believe she overslept. “Relax, don’t be in such a hurry,”He said; she gave him a dirty look, it was all his fault that she slept in. “You had one job, wake me up, and you didn’t do it, don’t tell me to relax, you don’t know Rose, she will be super upset if I don’t show up,”Nora let out. “She is already here, I am just coming back from the airport, I went to pick h
“Oh my God, he has a ring,”She whispered and tried to get up from her seat. “Stay,”He said in a shaking voice that he had never spoken in before. “Is this why you have been so nervous?”She asked and he nodded, he was still nervous, if she said no, his world would crash. He suddenly didn’t know what to say. “Aren’t you going to say anything?”Nora asked after a couple of minutes. “Don’t tell me you didn’t rehearse what you were supposed to say,”She continued, he did think about what he wanted to say to her but right now, he couldn’t remember anything. “I don’t know what to say, I just know that I love and want you with me, I am not good with these kinds of things, I didn’t know what it was like to feel like this until I met you, I can’t get the words out that would properly describe how I feel for you, how desperate I want you to be mine forever,”He told her. “You are doing just fine right now, you don’t need big fancy words,”She encouraged him. Her words helped to reduce h
Luca watched his woman sleep, she looked so beautiful and peaceful sleeping beside him. He didn’t know what he did to deserve her but he couldn’t thank the universe enough for sending her to him. Now he couldn’t imagine a life without her. two months, the past two months hadn’t been easy for him but with her by his side, he could do anything, waking up each day to her made everything bearable, he had to relearn how to do everything but it wasn’t so hard for him when each time he looked around, she was there cheering him on. He didn’t know how best to pay her back. She came into his life and never looked back, not even when he told her to leave, she vowed to be with him, believed in him even when he had doubts; her words of encouragement, the way she was there each time he was so close to giving up, telling him just how much she loved him. He could say her love healed him. She never asked anything in return but he vowed to take care of her for the rest of their life. He already had pl
“You bet I will, thank you so much, I will come around soon for registration,”She told her and walked out of the office, it was almost one pm; Luca would probably be looking for her already, Nora didn’t know how he was going to take the news of the pregnancy since they hadn’t talked about having a baby. Maria did say it would be good news so she hoped Luca saw it that way too because even though she just found out, she already loved the baby. “Amore, what took you so long? I was waiting for you,”Luca let out when she walked into his room, he got out of bed and walked to her, wrapping her in a welcoming hug. He could walk now, he was still healing. “The second hug I am getting today, today must be my day of hugs,”Nora mouthed, Luca broke the hug and gave her a look. “Who else are you getting hugs from?”He asked in a jealous tone, Nora laughed. “Don’t look so jealous, I got a hug from Maria,”She replied and went into his arms again. “Maria gets a pass, no one else is allowed t
“Yes, I am sorry for what I said the other day, I regretted it the minutes the words came out, I was only trying to get you to leave, I feel stupid for doing that, I love you so much, please say you have forgiven me,”He said. she smiled; she already forgave him but she needed him to know that what he said was wrong on all accounts. “Apology accepted, don’t do it again, no one wants to be called a gold-digger by the one they love, that shit hurt like hell, I can’t lie to you and say it didn’t, I am glad you talked about it and apologized,”Nora said and planted another kiss on his hair. “Thank you for coming back, Amore, it won’t happen again, I promise,”He replied. “So, you are feeling good now?”She asked him, lifting his face so that she could see him properly, he nodded. She hugged him and they stayed like that for a couple of minutes before she helped him get back to his room. The days turned into weeks and then months, and every day, Luca got better, it was a lot of work an
Nora didn’t know what to expect when she walked into Luca’s hospital room after three days away, she set her mind to him asking her to leave again, telling herself that she would turn back and leave without a backward glance if he said anything like that but knowing she would not be able to do it. The last three days were spent doing nothing, she ate, tried to sleep, and talked with Maria who came to visit Luca yesterday. She did tell her that Luca looked down and even asked about her but that doesn’t mean he still wants to see her. She went to his hospital room but he wasn’t there. She saw a nurse who told her he was getting fresh air and pointed her to where she would find him, she saw him before he saw her. There were a few other people in the healing garden but Luca was all alone, he looked up and saw her, his face lit up for a moment before his expression went unreadable again. She saw the few seconds of delight and hoped it was a good sign. “Hey, Luca, how have you been?”Nora
“I haven’t been to the mansion since and I haven’t seen her, I thought she was here with you, did she leave? Should I call her here for you?”He asked. If she was still at the mansion, calling her to come to the hospital when it was already late wasn’t a good idea. “No, you don’t have to do that,”Luca responded. “Boss? Did you make her angry? Did you both fight?”Nicho asked in a scolding voice. Luca thought about just letting it go and not telling him what happened, he didn’t have to tell him but Nicho was the only other person he could ask about her, and Maria wouldn’t answer him. “Why are you scolding me? I already know I made a mistake. I don’t need you rubbing it in, I kind of told her to leave and she did, I haven’t seen her for three days now and I am starting to think she really decided to leave me, not like I blame her, I said some really hurtful things to her, told her she was around for my money, don’t look at me like that, I regret it,”Luca said when Nicho gave him an
Luca looked up when the door to his hospital room for the ninth time that day but once again, it wasn’t the one he wanted at the door, Nora, he hadn’t seen her since he told her to leave two days ago, and for the past two days, he had waited for her to show up, he felt like an helpless child waiting for his mom, the problem was he was the one who sent her away, it was his fault and now, he feared she might have taken his advice and actually left him for good. “Why did I even say something like that to her?”He scolded himself; he should have called her back and apologized to her but he had stupidly let her leave. Maybe he thought like before that she would be back. When she didn’t come back that first day, he had thought she would the next morning but up until this moment, he still had not heard from her and another day was almost over. Luca looked up when the door opened, hoping it would be Nora this time but it wasn’t her, it was Maria, the older woman smiled when she walked in, i
