CHAPTER
TEN
I WANT YOU
MINDY
The kiss we shared has my entire being buzzing.
I can’t focus, and Luca has been caressing me and whispering in my ear since he sat down.
I’m not sure what his plans were before our dinner was interrupted, but I’m sure seduction was a big part of it.
I swear the man sizzles with lust. It’s like pheromones saturate the air when he walks into a room.
You would be dead not to notice how gorgeous he is. I saw every woman everywhere we went checking him out. It does trigger some old insecurities, but I do my best to think positive and to keep it moving. It’s only a date, and I’m still married.
It’s crazy to even think I’d be in this situation. I thought I’d be married forever, and Ross was the man of my dreams. In such a short time, that was proven to be a lie. But the only thing I can do now is pick up the pieces and rebuild myself.
It’s only been a few months, and I know dating should be the last thing on my mind, but…
fuck it. I have lived in a cage, afraid for my life, for too long.
If there’s one thing I know, life is short.
And after all this sexual tension, the thought of just being platonic with Luca has flown right out the window.
“Your skin is so soft, Coniglia . Just as I imagined it would be.” Luca’s dreamy gaze is locked on my neck.
Luca has the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. Sometimes they look gray, and other times they look silver. Whatever the color, I can’t help but feel hypnotized by them. He has this way of looking at me that makes me feel like I’m the only woman in the world.
Even with Ross’s love bombing, I never felt like that. Luca makes me feel seen. I don’t have to hide from him because he’s seen me at my lowest.
“Dance with me,” I boldly demand as I stand from my seat. Now that I’ve decided to let the friendship thought float out of my mind, the only thing I can think of is getting as close as possible to Luca.
There are plenty of people swaying to the slow song the live band is playing, but I don’t want to be on a crowded dance floor. I want to feel the intimate touch of this gorgeous man right here in this secluded VIP area. It’s just one dance, but in my heart, it’s more than that.
Luca stands, takes my arms in his warm grip, and wraps them around his neck.
He pulls me close to his body by wrapping his arms around my waist. As soon as our bodies touch, I feel his erection.
I don’t know if he expected me to gasp and jump back at the monster I feel pressing against my stomach, but stepping away from him or from that anaconda is not something I’m about to do.
You never look a gift horse in the mouth, and from the muscle Luca has in his pants, he’s definitely part horse. The overwhelming loneliness that I’ve become used to has been chased away in one night by a man I never expected.
“You know if you keep pressing that weapon into me, I’m going to take that as a threat,” I shamelessly flirt.
“I don’t make threats, Coniglia .” Luca’s hands travel down from my waist to my ass. He squeezes my cheeks as he rolls his hips suggestively.
I’m so wet that the pool in my panties could drown him. I haven’t been touched by a man in so long I’d forgotten what it felt like. It’s nice to just feel wanted and not have to worry about causing a fight for being too sexy.
That was my past. Stay in the present, Mindy.
I grind my body against Luca, enjoying the way we fit together. We move effortlessly to the music as if we have been dancing together for years. I can already sense the connection between us intensifying, and I worry if I should be doing this so soon.
“I didn’t take you as a dancer,” I comment, leaning back to see Luca’s expression.
The most beautiful smile I’ve ever seen on a human graces his face. The sight makes my heart skip a beat and my mouth go dry. I clear my throat, trying to regain some moisture, but it seems I’m only damp from the waist down.
“Don’t underestimate my skills, Coniglia ,” Luca replies, twirling me out then back to him.
I giggle when he dips me and pulls me back up. I didn’t take Luca as the silly type. Every time I’ve seen him, he looks so serious. It seems like the weight of the world is on his shoulders, so it’s refreshing to see this side of him.
“I’ll never underestimate you again,” I reply, smiling.
The twinkle in Luca’s eyes makes me smile even harder.
With very little effort, this man is chopping down the wall I built around me.
Maybe it’s because he saved my life, which has me in a state of hero worship.
Whatever the reason is, I can’t seem to fight it.
As a matter of fact, I don’t even want to fight it.
“Can I kiss you?” Luca leans down, his gaze flittering between my lips and my eyes.
“Oh, so you’re actually asking my permission this time?” I lick my lips, preparing for Luca’s lips to be on mine once more.
“I apologize for losing control. That doesn’t happen often.”
Luca looks away, but not before I see his face go back to factory settings.
His lips form a straight line, and the twinkle in his eyes has disappeared.
I can tell that it bothers him that he didn’t ask me for our first kiss.
I have to admit it took me by surprise, but it was a pleasant one.
It was the most passionate kiss I’ve ever had in my life.
“Luca, look at me.” I place my finger under his chin and bring his face back to mine. “You don’t have to apologize. I wanted your kiss. I want…”
Luca pulls me forward so quickly that I don’t have time to think. His mouth is on mine in seconds. He’s expertly rolling his tongue while thrusting his hips into mine. I can’t think. I can’t see. I can’t breathe. All I can do is feel.
I get lost in the moment, and before I know it, I’m rubbing myself against the man like I’m trying to start a fire. In the back of my mind, I know I should stop, but my body is on autopilot. I can admit to myself that I’ve been drawn to this man since the beginning.
I felt some type of way at first because no matter how Ross has treated me, I’m still married to him. I take my vows seriously, but I want Luca Dalonzo. I want him to make me feel. I want him to explore my body. I want him to show me that this connection isn’t just in my head.
I break the kiss because the passion is too overwhelming. We are pressed together so tightly that not even light could get between our bodies. Our breathing is in sync, and so are our heartbeats. We stand staring at one another, not saying a word.
It’s like we are alone because I can’t hear or see anything or anyone else but him. He makes the world disappear when I’m near him. I can’t say anyone has ever had that effect on me before. I should feel afraid, but I don’t.
“I want you, right now.” I let the words slip out of my mouth, and before I know it, Luca pulls me out of the club with an urgency that causes the butterflies in my stomach to go crazy.
Keeping my composure for the entirety of the ride back to Luca’s place was an exercise in strength.
He kept his hand firmly planted on my thigh, and although he would squeeze it and slide it up and down slightly, he never tried to get under my dress.
His heated stare never wavered from me while he chatted on the phone.
I couldn’t tell you who he was talking to or what he was talking about.
My mind had gone completely offline and turned to mush at this man’s attention.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I’ve had attention from men before.
Even though my confidence has taken a hit because of my situation, I wouldn’t consider myself insecure.
But it’s just something about Luca’s attention that has the fire roaring inside of me.
“Yeah, I’ll send over the paperwork in a few days. No, don’t call me. I’ll be busy for the next few days,” Luca says, staring at me.
I swallow hard because I’m pretty sure I’ll be the reason he’s busy. But what the hell is he planning on doing to me? My girl hasn’t been in service for over six months. Ross was too busy cheating to have any type of intimacy with me.
“You look nervous, Coniglia. ” Luca licks his lips, slipping his hand further up my thigh.
I clear my throat before looking toward the driver, but he’s not paying any attention to us. My eyes dart back to Luca when his fingers graze my panties. I wish I could say I was appalled and slammed my thighs shut, but nope. It’s like my legs had a spring, they spread so quickly.
“No, I’m not nervous,” I challenge, scooting closer to him.
“Hmmm, don’t test me little one. I am a very smart man and I will pass.”
I take his words as the threat that they are, but I smirk instead of showing my fear. However, nerves have my belly quivering. I know it’s the first date, but hell, I deserve this. I need to see if my bullshit meter is really broken.
Luca looks like he can put it down, and I’m ready to find out if he can. I’ll ask for forgiveness tomorrow, but tonight… I’ll be a sinner.
When the car stops, Vinny turns around, andLuca just nods without saying a word. Vinny nods back, smiles at me, and exits the car, leaving us in the garage. I inhale, calming my nerves before turning to face Luca again.
“Are you sure this is what you want?” Luca studies me closely.
“Yes, I’m sure. Are you sure? Because even if this is a one-time thing, if you don’t want…”
My sentence is cut off when Luca lunges toward me and attacks my mouth with his. I thought the first and second kisses were passionate.
But damn! This man can kiss.
My back is against the seat, and my thick thighs are cradling his lean body.
We’re dry humping like we’re teenagers in their parents’ car.
But his body feels so good against mine that I don’t even care.
When Luca thrusts right against my clit, it’s almost like we’re naked.
The friction is driving me insane, and I almost have an orgasm.
“Wait… wait,” I gasp, tearing my mouth away from Luca’s. “I’m about to cum, and I need to feel you inside of me for that.”
I’m not sure where this wanton woman is coming from, but she has a one track mind. For once, I’m going to let go and stop worrying about my past mistakes. Nothing good comes from living in the past anyway. I have to keep moving forward, and Luca is the first stop on my journey.
“Fuucck, you can’t say shit like that, little one. You look so fucking sexy,” Luca’s accent is thicker than I’ve ever heard it, and his eyes are damn near glowing.
Hell, I can cum from him just looking at me.
Luca takes a deep breath, then pulls me up along with him. He opens the door and damn near drags me out of the car. I’m pretty sure he carried me to the elevator because I don’t remember my feet touching the ground.
The elevator doesn’t take long to get to the top floor. I don’t know if it’s because I’m so focused on what’s about to happen or what. But before I know it, Luca is opening his door and pushing me against it.
He kisses me deep and slow before dropping to his knees. I gasp when his mouth connects to my core. He doesn’t even move my panties to the side. Luca just sucks everything into his greedy mouth, and I gush like a river. He grabs my ass and forcibly tugs me forward, devouring my entire core.
I place my hands on the top of his head for balance. The swipes of his tongue across my clit get more aggressive, and I end up pulling his dark blonde strands as I ride the wave of pleasure.
“Oh my goooood! Luca, you’re so—” I can’t finish because Luca rips my panties, sucks my clit, and slips a finger inside.
“ Hai un sapore cosi buono amore mio ,” Luca growls.
“I-I don’t… you’re not speaking English,” I gasp, tugging harder on Luca’s hair.
I couldn’t have imagined a more magical tongue, and I can admit that I dreamt of this moment often.
But there’s no way even my active imagination could’ve conjured up such sexual prowess.
Luca is like a man possessed, and the wet sounds coming from me are borderline obscene, but they only turn me on more.
“I need you to cum for me, little one. It’s the only way I’ll be able to fit.” Luca’s mesmerizing accent floats into my ears.
Stars burst behind my eyelids as I tightly squeeze them together. The tingle of ecstasy starts at the soles of my feet and makes its way up to the top of my head. My breath quickens, my grip on his hair loosens, and my legs buckle.
Luca catches me before I can fall and lays me down on the floor. He covers my body with his and pushes his tongue in my mouth. I taste myself on his lips, and I moan at the spicy flavor. I’m ready to fuck this man right here on the hardwood floors of his home, and all I feel is excitement.
There’s no anguish, no anxiety, and no doubt. It’s just unadulterated passion. Pleasure without thought is something I haven’t had in four years.
“I’m not about to fuck you on this floor.” Luca stops kissing me, placing his forehead against mine.
Luca gets to his knees, then he pulls me up off the floor. I stand on shaky legs, breathing hard. I feel a slight tinge of embarrassment because I was ready to toot that thang up right here in the foyer.
“I guess we did get a little carried away,” I respond, pulling down my dress.
I know I must look a hot ass mess. I can feel my carefully pinned back hair has come loose, my dress is wrinkled, and my panties are gone.
“No, but you’re about to.”
Before I can ask him what he means, Luca sweeps me up into his arms. I yelp in surprise as he practically runs up the stairs. I giggle as I bounce up and down with his hasty steps. Luca chuckles before placing me on the floor in his bedroom.
All of a sudden, I feel nervous. The expectations I have for this encounter are probably way higher than they should be. I have been fantasizing about Luca since the first time I saw him. The guilt I felt about that was overwhelming at first, but there’s no guilt to be found in this moment.
“You’re the most beautiful woman I have ever seen,” Luca whispers, trailing his finger down my face.
He pulls me against him, looking down into my face with those spellbinding eyes of his. It’s like looking into a stormy sky when the rain is just about to fall and wash everything away. Luca leans down, and I tiptoe so our lips can meet sooner.
I’ve never wanted someone as bad as I do right now.
