At least one good thing came from the entire ordeal.
Luca and I have grown closer.
He sets a bowl of steaming water down on the bedside table and rolls up the sleeves of his dress shirt.
I drink in the veins snaking beneath his skin, and watch as he soaks a washcloth.
He locked the door, and itâs just us in the room.
Earlier, when the nurse gave me a sponge bath, it was degrading, but it already feels different with Luca.
It was wrong to send him away and call for Mom. I shouldâve given him a chance.
When he pulls the sheet away from my body, he gives me a wink. âJust you and me, my little dynamite. Iâll try to control myself.â
I let out a chuckle as he starts to gently clean my body.
âYou better control yourself. I think itâs going to be a while before Iâm able to have sex.â
âThere are other ways,â he murmurs, the warm cloth brushing over my breasts.
âTell me.â
The corner of his mouth lifts. âYour mouth, amore mio.â
I let out a soft chuckle, appreciating that heâs making this sexual instead of clinical.
Luca takes his time washing me, his eyes filled with adoration.
âYou make me feel precious,â I whisper. The cloth moves down my right leg, and when he reaches my foot, he starts to massage it. âOh God,â I moan, my eyes drifting shit from how good it feels.
âWhat do you say? Do I get the job?â he teases me.
âYes, definitely.â
âYou wonât ask me to leave the room again?â
I shake my head.
âOnce weâre home, Iâll carry you to the bathroom and give you privacy while you use it,â he assures me.
My chin starts to tremble. âThank you.â
I feel his breath hit my lips, then his lips follow, kissing me tenderly. âIâll do anything for you, Mariya, that includes protecting your pride.â
Opening my eyes, I murmur, âI love you so much, Luca.â
He continues to wash my body, and by the time heâs done, the pain has lessened, and I feel relaxed.
âHave you done this before?â I ask as he takes a seat in the armchair next to the bed.
âNo, everything just comes naturally with you.â A smile spreads over my face, then he says, âOnce youâre back on your feet, I want you to plan the wedding of your dreams.â
âWeâre already married.â
He nods, âWeâll renew our vows and celebrate with our family and friends.â
âSo, no annulment?â I tease him.
âI said Iâd never let you go, and I meant it.â
âWhatâs your dream wedding?â I ask him, loving how easy things feel between us.
âYou, standing at the altar,â he chuckles. âTell me how you pictured yours.â
âI want a black and rose gold wedding.â
The corner of his mouth lifts in a hot grin. âThat sounds exactly like you.â
âAll the décor must be black, including my wedding dress, and Violet and my mom will wear rose gold dresses.â
âWhat will I wear?â
âA black tux with a rose gold tie and vest.â
He nods, seeming pleased with my choice of colors.
âWhere do you want to go for our honeymoon?â he asks.
Happiness bursts in my chest. âAnywhere.â
âHow many kids do you want?â
âTwo,â I answer without hesitating. âI want them to be close like Viktor and me.â
Luca leans forward, resting his elbows on the bed. âYou know I spend half the year in Italy. Will you be okay moving between two homes?â
âYouâre my home.â
My answer pleases him so much, he darts up and kisses the living hell out of me.
âChrist, I hope you heal fast,â he groans against my mouth. âIâm going to die of blue balls.â
âThe door is still locked,â I remind him.
Luca lifts his head, giving me a look as if Iâve lost my mind. âThereâs no way Iâm fucking you.â
âYeah, but you have a hand and five fingers.â
Luca sits down, shaking his head as he silently chuckles.
âDonât tell me youâre shy,â I taunt him. âIâm in the hospital and in pain. The least you can do is give a show Iâll never forget.â
âYou want to watch me come, amore mio?â His voice is low and deep, making heat pool in my abdomen.
âYes.â
Luca keeps his eyes on me as he undoes his belt and pants. I lower my gaze as he pulls his hard, thick length out.
âLike what you see?â
âOh yes. Fist your cock, babe,â I order. My breaths grow shallow as I watch his strong fingers wrap around the velvety skin stretched around his shaft.
Pre-cum beads on the head, and I lick my lips. âSwipe it up with your finger and let me taste you.â
âChrist,â he groans, catching the drop on his thumb. He leans over, and my tongue darts out to take it from him.
âHmm⦠you taste just as good as you look,â I praise him, keeping my voice seductive.
Luca relaxes back in the armchair and spreads his legs. His lashes lower half over his eyes, and his lips part as he starts to stroke himself.
âJesus, you look so hot right now,â I moan, wishing it was my fingers wrapped around him. âAs soon as Iâm better, Iâm going to suck you so hard and swallow every drop.â
âFuck, Mariya,â he groans, his hips and hand moving faster as he thrusts hard into his fist. His body tenses, and he grabs the washcloth, catching his release as it shoots in hot streams from him.
âNow thatâs the hottest thing Iâve ever seen.â My lips curve up with satisfaction. âWas it as good for you as it was for me?â
Luca chuckles as he cleans himself while catching his breath. After heâs tucked his cock away and fixed his clothes, he sits down on the side of the bed and presses a tender kiss to my mouth. âIâm pretty sure it was a hell of a lot better for me.â He gives me another kiss. âThank you, amore mio.â
