But my spine stiffened once I saw him at the entrance.He was casually adjusting his cuffs, looking every bit as dashing as the devil in his black button-up shirt and black slacks.Relief crashed into me, but I was torn between holding on to that and the confusion I felt about how he was able to find me.
He strode toward us, wrapping his arm around my waist once he got to me.I crashed into his chest when he pulled me into him and slammed his lips on mine in a hungry, heated kiss.
I melted into Luciano, moaning softly into the kiss.I swear, if the room wasn’t crowded right now, if we kept up with the kiss longer, I’d have no problem with him pinning me against a wall and fucking me until I was sore and raw.
I blushed as he broke off the kiss.
“Everyone,” I turned to my family, “meet Luciano Romano, my fiancé.”
My father was stunned.Sofia and her mother had their jaws on the floor.But her fiancé ...he was calculative.He looked a little torn, yet sure that he knew Luciano.
“Aren’t you the son of Italy’s biggest Don?”Sofia’s fiancé blurted out.
“I am.”Luciano was unfazed, still wrapping a possessive arm around me to keep me in place.
“I knew he looked familiar!”Sofia exclaimed, a twinge of fear in her voice.
“A criminal, really?”Lillian arched her brow at me.
“He’s not a criminal!”I defended him.
“He’s the son of a man who’s known for his illegal and shady operations all around the world.You are going to soil the family’s reputation by marrying him!”she yelled.“You will break off this engagement.”
I scoffed.“Why?So that your daughter can get her spotlight back?I’ll be damned if I ever do that.I love him, and I’ll marry him.You can go to hell if that displeases you, Lillian,” I seethed.
Her eyes darkened.“How dare you speak to me like that?”
“Ladies, please.”Papa interrupted calmly.“Let’s not judge the man by his father’s sins.Besides, he and I are going to have a little chat about his intentions for my daughter.”He faked a smile with a clear underlying threat.
“Certainly, Mr.Rossi,” Luciano conceded politely.
“Now, why don’t we get this family trip started?”
