Chapter 13
Chapter Thirteen:
Nina
I’m in the master bedroom, trying to read a book since I don’t really have anything else to do the pass the time – normally me and Susanna would be out doing something together but with things going crazy from Dimitri’s actions and Luca shooting him, I don’t want to take the risk of going anywhere – when Luca storms inside.
He’s breathing heavy and his head is glistening with sweat.
“Luca?” I can’t forget the way he touched me between my legs. How intense and powerful it was. And I especially cannot forget it when he keeps looking at me the way he’s currently looking at me. Like he wants to eat me. “Are you ok?”
“No, I’m not ok,” he growls, coming over to me.
“What’s going on?”
“That asshole, Gabriel, just tried to kill me. I didn’t see him but I know he was behind it. He wants what I have. My money and power.” His eyes sweep over me. “You.”
“He doesn’t want me,” I say on instinct to protect myself.
“I can’t let him come for you. Especially not after Dimitri kidnapped you. I will not lose you, Nina. I know that for a fact.”
Before I can even react, he grabs the book out of my hands and tosses it away. I let out a gasp when he hovers over me, leaving me no choice but to sink into the bed. The memory of him touching me flashes through my mind. It had felt amazing. I want to feel it again.
Luca is my future, I keep reminding myself. My family – and specifically Susanna – are my past.
“I need to make you mine,” he says, gripping my hips and giving them a squeeze. A flare of arousal rushes through me.
“I’ve never had sex before.”
“I know. But you don’t need to fear it. I want you to feel good.”
“Make me into your perfect wife,” I murmur. “That’s what you want.”
“It’s what I’ve always wanted. The question is, Nina, will you give in and turn into the wife I want? I won’t fuck you if you tell me to walk away right now.”
I open my lips to say… something but nothing comes out. I’m not sure I can tell him to walk away when that’s not what I want.
Luca confuses me sometimes. He has tied me up and forced me to listen to him but I also can’t deny that I have felt calmer since being married to him. Since being away from Susanna.
I don’t want to go back to feeling anxious and annoyed and like the world is out to get me. I want to become a mature woman.
Luca can help me get there.
So, instead of telling Luca to walk away, I shake my head no. “I want you to stay.”
His eyes darken. “Then I’m going to make you mine. Because I will not let someone else do it.”
He grips my chin and slams his lips against mine. It’s all consuming. I sink right into it. The nerves in my lips tingle from his touch. I need more. More than I’ve ever needed in my entire life.
Luca rips my loungewear pants right off me before doing the same to my top, leaving me in nothing but my underwear.
The low growl that escapes him when he sees my bare breasts sends a fire through me.
His lips find one of my nipples and I cry out from the sensation.
I never realized I was so sensitive here.
His large hands on my waist make me hotter. There is no denying that Luca is an incredibly handsome man. I’ve been awestruck by him ever since we first met.
I’m unsure of what to do so I let Luca take the lead. He wants to anyway.
He slips my underwear off and tosses it to the floor like it’s nothing. When he parts my legs, I’m already trembling. “Nervous?”
“A little.”
“I need to taste you. Now.”
I try not to feel self-conscious as he places his lips between my legs. The moment his tongue finds my nub, I can’t hold back my moan of pleasure. Luca doesn’t show any signs of being grossed out by my body so I tell myself to relax. I don’t have to be perfect.
Luca runs his tongue all along my nub and folds.
The pleasure is intense, making it so I can barely think.
Barely breathe. Luca is making sure I know he’s in control of me.
I can try to fight it but if giving in feels this good, I’m not sure I ever want to fight Luca again. Giving in does seem easier.
His tongue flicks over my nub, again and again and again. My hips buck up but he places his arm over my waist, holding me in place. In charge like he always is.
It’s that control that makes the pleasure grow inside my body, reaching new heights I never thought possible. When I can’t control it any longer, an orgasm rips its way through me.
Luca sits up with a smirk while I tremble and try to breathe. “I am going to take you, Nina.”
“Yes,” I moan softly, my orgasm still working its way through my body.
He stands up and strips his clothes off. It’s the first time I’m seeing him fully naked and the sight is more than I can handle. His strong muscles. His tan skin. His large erection, on display for me. Luca is a real man. I want to be a mature woman to match him.
I’m expecting Luca to bring his body over me so I’m shocked when he grabs my hips and makes me get on my hands and knees.
“What are you doing?” I gasp.
“I’m taking you from behind,” he says. “Showing you that I’m in control. You need this, Nina. I need this.”
I can feel him get behind me and grab my hips. My body throbs with desire but my mind isn’t sure I want this. I want to look him in the eye. I don’t want to be taken from behind like an animal.
But before I can say anything, Luca brings his erection to my entrance and thrusts into me. There’s a small amount of pain that makes me cry out. Luca enters me before he stops, settling all the way inside my body. I never even knew I had depths this deep.
I cry out when he moves his hips.
“Make me proud, Nina.” There’s a desperation in his voice I’ve never heard before. “You can handle this.”
But I’m not sure I can. It’s too much, this position, for my first time.
“I want to look you in the eye,” I say.
“I am in charge here.”
“Luca,” I cry out as he thrusts particularly hard into me. He’s claiming me all the way and making sure I don’t forget it.
“It’s ok, Nina. You can take this.” His pace increases he fucks me harder. I bow my head in shame. It feels good, I can’t deny, but to be taken this way feels like an attack on my mind. This is Luca’s way of making sure I never forget who I belong to.
He thrusts into me harder and harder until I can barely breathe. I can’t even think. Everything leaves my head and is replaced with Luca’s touch.
He reaches under my body and presses his fingers to my nub. The sudden spike in pleasure makes me arch my hips back, trying to get closer to him.
Our bodies move as one, more frantically. Faster and faster.
Luca presses down onto my nub with a firmness that I need. It makes another orgasm wash over me. I cry out and fall onto my elbows, my face pressed against the mattress.
Luca lets out a low growl before he comes next.
Then everything goes still and silent.
Luca gently pats my backside before he pulls out of me. I wince from the slight pain of it. “You made me proud, Nina.”
“Why did you have to take me this way?” I whisper. “I wanted to look at you.” It’s ironic, since I feel like I’m not allowed to look at him now.
“I know. But we do things my way here. I will always do what’s best for you. Believe it.”
I want to but right now, I’m not sure. While it did feel good having sex with him, I’m also left feeling emotionally… empty. And only Luca can help fill that hole.
Only if he wants to.
After Luca leaves for work the next day, I’m left feeling antsy after what he did to me. Having sex changes everything but I thought it would bring me and Luca closer while all I feel is unsteady.
I know the reason why. Luca wants me to fully give in to him but my mind is still focused too much on my sister. I need to talk to Susanna. She looked worried for me when Dimitri kidnapped me. Is she ready to change? Because I know I am.
I write Luca a note so he knows where I am and then head to my old home. My mom answers the door right away after I knock.
“Nina,” she gasps, pulling me into her arms. It’s a safe space, especially after how Luca has been pushing me past my comfort zone.
When we part, I look over her shoulder to see Susanna standing on the stairs.
“Luca told me you were unharmed,” is her response.
“I wanted to talk with you again.”
She shrugs, always acting cold. “What’s there to talk about?”
“Susanna, please. We should try to put this animosity behind us. I want to move on from it.”
“Well, I don’t,” she snaps.
“Are you sure? You looked pretty worried when Dimitri was taking me away. Do you really not want to have a good relationship with me again?” If we ever even had one. There was always a tension between the two of us, ever since we were little.
Slowly, Susanna approaches me. For once, her eyes soften. “I was maybe worried. But then Luca told me that you were fine. That he got you back. So, I stopped worrying.”
“Susanna… please.”
“What do you want from me, Nina? You married Luca. You’re getting to live a fun life. I’m not. I will never be happy about it.”
My mind flashes back to me and Luca having sex yesterday. How it was passionate and exciting but it also left me feeling empty in some way.
“I’m not as happy as you think,” I say. “We can work this out, Susanna. That’s why I came here. I’m trying to make Luca proud.”
She scoffs. “See? It always comes back to Luca.”
“He is my husband. It’s to be expected.”
“I don’t care. I was your sister first.”
The hurt in her words startles me and makes me take a step back. “Susanna…”
Before I can say anything more, the doorbell rings. With a frown, our mom answers it… only to reveal Gabriel on the other side. I tense. How did he find my home?
“Mom, shut the door,” I scream but before she can do anything, Gabriel storms inside.
“Get out,” Mom orders. Gabriel doesn’t listen to her.
“Your husband is proving to be a problem,” he says to me. “So you’re going to help me with that.”
He grabs me before I can react and drags me towards the door. When my mom tries running at him, he holds up his gun, stopping her in her tracks. “Don’t even think about it.”
She walks back to Susanna, trying to protect her… since she can’t protect me. I’m Luca’s now. No longer my mother’s. And now an enemy of Luca’s has come to collect.
Gabriel drags me from the house and forces me into the back seat of a car. And I am kidnapped again but this time, I’m not sure I’m going to make it out of this alive.
