I wake up in Lucas's arms stretching my weakened limbs after the continuous lovemaking throughout the remainder of the night. I brush up against Lucas front, and I’m greeted by his morning stiffy poking my ass. Luca stirs in his sleep and pulls me up against his front firmly. I wiggle my butt enjoying the slight friction I’m getting from his cock. His fingers dig into my hip holding me still. He nuzzles his face into my neck.
“Ciao Bellissima. Stop wriggling that big luscious ass of yours or you'll have to suffer the consequences.” His voice is still groggy from sleep.
I want to suffer the consequences whatever it may be. But I’m still a little tender from his insatiable hunger we had to fulfil most of the night. His fingers find my exposed nipple flicking the tight bud making it hard instantly. I begin to squirm frantically against his touch unable to contain my silent pleas. He shifts and pins me beneath him with my hands held above my head.
“You sly cheat.” I giggle.
He looks deeply into my eyes, his brows furrow and his face grows serious as his hands' release mine, and touches my face softly.
“Sii Mio Vanessa? Please no more running. If I have to, I will chase you and drag you back to my bed barbarically until I’ve had my fill of you.”
He leans down and kisses me tenderly on the lips then he pulls back and looks at me again.
“Luca, I…I don’t know what you want from me?”
I let out a deep breath unsure what it is that I want from him as well.
“I just want us to explore this and I want to be able to trust that you won’t go running off when things get complicated.” He kisses me again.
“It’s always going to be complicated” I turn my face shading the growing distress.
"I don’t even know what it is we have Luca.” I rub my hand across my forehead.
My fingers slowly wiping away the mornings' sweat. He moves off the bed and sits on the edge of it with his bareback facing me.
“It’s chemistry Vanessa.” He cranes his neck to look back at me.
“There’s enough of it to drive me completely mad into wanting to drive deep into you over, and over again.” He sighs loudly.
He gets up off the bed and walks into the bathroom naked. I hear the shower running and I frown at the sudden loss of his presence. I look down at my hands trying to think hard about what is real and what’s not. He makes me feel a certain way that has me feeling ashamed of myself for the lack of experience I've shunned myself away from. I look up as he strides back into the room, and picks me up off the bed bridal style effortlessly. He tucks the loose hair behind my ear while he stares down at me.
“Time to shower if we are going to get you to work on time Tesoro.”
He kisses me on the forehead and proceeds to the bathroom.
We emerge from the bathroom an hour later after thoroughly washing each other before Luca took me slowly, and mind blazingly up against the shower wall. I get dressed into my black pencil skirt and borrow one of Lucas t-shirts that reaches the top of my knees. I tuck the bottom half into my skirt and slowly pull it out again so it loosely hangs over the top creating a small bulge around my stomach. I walk into the kitchen where Luca stands dressed with perfection in a blue suit with a travel mug waiting in his hand. He hands me the mug and I take a long sip, I look at him staring back at me.
“What?” I ask devilishly, resting my hip against the countertop.
He steps closer, wraps an arm around me, and pulls me up against him. He admiringly looks at me.
“Can I see you again tonight?” His voice is laced with a silent plea.
I smile at him and lean in to kiss him.
“How about lunch? I think we need to take this slow… slower.”
"I'm new to this," I say shyly.
I bite my lower lip hoping he doesn’t fight me on this. He steps back, takes his phone out of his slacks, and taps at it putting it to his ear.
“Carrie-Anne, What is my schedule for the morning.” He looks back at me with a smile on his face as he concentrates on the conversation he's having with this...
Carrie-Anne lady.
“Mmm Hmmm, Mm Hmmm, Push all my meetings back from noon till after one-thirty. Si, I know that, I know that as well. Si, noon Carrie-Anne. Bene.” He slips his phone back into his pocket and, steps back in front of me.
“Lunch at noon it is then.” He kisses the top of my head.
“Thank you.” I look at the time. Seven o’clock.
Shit!
“Really need to get going if I’m going to get to work on time Luca.” I hand the mug back to him.
“Take it, it is a travel mug after all.” He hitches an eyebrow up and smirks.
“Si, it is indeed. Thank you” I tiptoe, and kiss him on the lips letting the kiss linger a little.
“I see you have switched your English version of yes to Italian?” He smiles at me approvingly.
“Si! Sounds sexy huh?” I wiggle my brows at him.
“Si, Tesoro. Anything that comes out of that pouty little mouth of yours sounds sexy. Cullum is standing outside the door waiting for you, He is instructed to take you home to get changed then straight to the Academy.” He kisses me again before he walks me to the door where Cullum awaits.
“Cullum.” Luca nods at him.
“Luca, Miss Maddison.” Cullum nods at us both before he takes my bag containing my shredded clothes.
We walk towards the elevator and Luca pushes the button and looks down at me.
“Thanks, but how are you getting to work? I ask curiously, narrowing my eyes.
“I will drive myself this morning.” He says unbothered.
“Nooooo…. Does Mr Venturi have to drive himself? The horror.” I laugh playfully earning a swat on the ass.
“Si, Mr Venturi will be driving himself today. And Mr Venturi sounds very sexy leaving those lips.” He stops me and brushes his lips across mine.
“I’ll see you at lunch,” I tell him.
I give him a quick kiss and step into the elevator with Cullum keeping eye contact with him until the doors close fully.
Cullum takes me home and waits outside for me leaning against the beast watching the house. I run around my room like a headless chicken trying to match my clothes when Chrissy walks in and stares at me laughing.
“Looks like you had a good night huh?” She smirks at me knowingly.
She walks over to the clothes spread out on my bed and picks up a pair of black pants and a white shirt handing them to me. She passes me a pair of strappy black heels she pulled out from the bottom of my closet. I take them grateful for her help and I give her a quick hug before I get change.
