“Where are you running off to?”
“Nowhere,” I lied as tears started to fill my eyes.
“Elise.” My name fell from his lips full of authority, freezing me where I stood.
Luca moved around the room like he owned it. I couldn’t look at him. I knew if I looked up and saw disgust or pity on his face, I’d shatter into a million pieces. But Luca being Luca wasn’t playing along. With his finger under my chin, he lifted my face until I was meeting his intense gaze. Blinking back the tears, I bit the inside of my cheek.
“I love you too.” He smiled softly.
Staring at him like an idiot, my heart almost burst. I was waiting for the joke, but it never came. He bent his head and placed a feather-light kiss on my lips.
“You do?”
“Of course.”
“You sure you’re not just saying that?”
“Absolutely not.”
Breaking free of his grasp, I wrapped my arms around his waist and pressed myself against him. I could feel his heart pounding in his chest and his cock twitching against my stomach. This man was something else. He had stamina and then some. Trying to ignore the insistent throbbing snake between us, I held on tight.
Eventually I let go and took a step back. Perching my arse on the end of the bed, I reached down to undo the clasp on my shoes. I’d looked like a cheap hooker long enough.
“What are you doing?”
“Taking my shoes off.” Wasn’t it obvious?
“Not yet.”
Luca dropped to his knees.
“What are you doing?” I asked, my breath coming out in short sharp gasps.
Instead of answering, Luca tweaked one of my nipples before pushing me back on the bed and wedging his shoulders between my knees.
“Luca…my shoes?”
“Leave them.”
Before I had a chance to say anything, Luca’s talented tongue licked along my seam, making me writhe and moan. Damn the boy had skills. I lasted barely a minute before he added a couple of fingers to his teasing and my back was arching off the bed.
“Luca, I need you to fuck me,” I demanded, attempting to clamp my thighs together.
“Not yet,” Luca denied, increasing the pressure of his tongue on my needy clit.
“Now! Luca! Fuck me now or so help me God I’ll do it myself!”
With one final lick, one that made me shudder, Luca stood up and moved away. Propping myself up on my elbows, I watched as he grabbed his wallet before throwing it away and turning back to me.
“I…I don’t have anything.”
“You don’t have anything?” My brain cells weren’t exactly firing on all cylinders right now.
“We’re out of condoms.” The disappointment in Luca’s voice was undeniable. Staring at his perfect penis pointing at his stomach with an angry purple head, I threw all reason out the window.
“I’m clean and I have the implant.”
“You sure?”
