Chapter 17: The Kiss

Nathan White's POV

I watched my duke friend, Lucca was carrying his bride-to-be upstairs in bridal style. I was jealous, partly because I can't even have a relationship because of my agreement with the government. But a part of me knew that rules were meant to be broken. One of the advantages of growing up without supervision the parents, I guess, I can do anything that I want as long as I don't get caught.

"Alone tonight?" A lady with a flawless American accent was asking me when I was just hanging out at the bar as I was just getting some drinks. I need to get out of here because I was paranoid that my enemies were everywhere.

"no, not really. Are you?" I asked her back as I went to look at the mysterious stranger. I smiled as my eyes were greeted by luxurious pale, skinny legs that were glorious to my sight right now. I looked up from her legs to see that she wore a mini dress that barely covers her thighs. My eyes rode with excitement when I was greeted by full ample bosoms that were begging to touch by my hands. My hands ached to touch it. Then, I looked at her face, her eyes were glistening with mischief, like the forest as I lost in its depth. Her manes were fiery as fire and curly as I want to run my hands through it. Her high cheekbones and those kissable, full lips. She runs her tongue on her lower lips and blood rushed toward my groin.

"want to get out of here, handsome?" She asked as she arched her eyebrow at me.

"may I asked your name before we get out of here?" I asked as I want to remember her name.

"Sabrina, enchantée," she said as she held her hand to shake with mine.

"Nathan," I said as I shook her hand as I hold with electric. It shook every nerve in my cells and body. She arched her eyebrow when I was so shocked by the touch.

"Nice to meet you, Nathan," she said my name and I liked it how it just flows out with ease.

Lucca Giovanni's POV

I carried Laura into our bedroom before gently put her on the bed. I was so shaken with anger when I saw Laura was in distress from that man's touch. I was holding my anger as I knew that Laura would not like it if I set to kill that man tonight. well, he had to wait.

"Hey, are you okay?" I asked her as I put the covers her fragile body. She was shaken so bad. I caressed her arms as she was still frightened by the attack. She shook her head as a no before she came at me with all forces that she had left. She was shaking so bad when I hold her into my arms. I wanted to knock that guy out. I was about to get some water when she pulled me tight.

"don't go," she said as she was holding me close.

"Okay, okay. I won't. I tell Matteo to bring some water," I said as I hold her close.

"come on, let get you to bed," I said as I tucked her in as I went inside the cover as well.

The sunlight came into our bedroom as my eyes squirmed as I tried to open it up. I searched for Laura beside me but I found out the bed was empty. I was looking around the bedroom to see there was no sign of her. I got up from the bed and went into the closet, nothing. I went into the bathroom and she was not there. I was frustrated as she was so shaken up last night that I don't know if she was alright this morning. I was about to reach for my phone and call for her when Laura emerged from the door.

"Oh, you woke up already," she said happily. I looked at her that she was carrying the breakfast into the bedroom.

"Want some breakfast?" She said as she was heading toward the coffee table at the sofa area. She put the tray down. There were bacon, French toasts, scrambled eggs, and some orange juice. My nostrils just pick up those smells and my stomach grumbled. I was blushed because Laura caught my stomach growled.

"come here, let's eat," she pulled my arm after she put the tray down. I was standing there as I watched her pulled me toward the sitting area.

"This is just something that I come up with just to say thank you for what you did last night," she said as she scooped some scrambled eggs, French toasts, and some bacon before giving the plate to me. I just watched her face as she was animatedly talking about how she had some trouble in the kitchen to find the ingredients and how the maids wanted to help her.

"I would like to make it with my own hands so that it would be so much special and my special thanks to you," she said as she was scooping some for herself before she put the plate in front of her. She poured some orange juice and handed it to me. She looked at me when I did not take the juice.

"what's wrong?" She asked me as I did not move an inch. I chuckled at her expression when she was so happy and energetic today as she was so different last night.

"Nothing, I just amazed," I said as I took the juice. Her face instantly became red as I knew she was blushing at my compliment.

"Sorry, it was nothing much," she said before started digging in as I did too.

We eat in silence as we were so hungry and her cooking was great, even though it was the simplest thing to do in the kitchen. I mean, I could just call Matteo to do it for me but she went through the trouble to do it for me, only me. I warmed at that thought.

"you get something here," I said as I went to get off some bread crumbs on Laura's lips. Her tongue slipped out as my thumb was grazing her lips. They were touching and it sent electrically to my body, especially my lower part. I looked at her as she did as well. I can saw the desire in her eyes as it was glistening in her amethyst orbs.

Laura Conti's POV

When Lucca said there were some bread crumbs, my tongue instantly went to get it off, until it touched Lucca's thumb. After last night's dramatic exit, I knew that I can never get anyone that would treat me like Lucca did. I wanted so bad that he had the same feeling as I had toward him.

when he looked into my eyes, I looked into his slate orbs. It was burning with fire as I was sure I did too. We looked into each other eyes as no one was making any movement after the touch. I was the first one to break out the eye contact. I looked down from his face before he pulled me back up again.

"look at me, dolcezza," he said as he looked into my eyes again. I was searching for sincerity in his eyes. Indeed, it was there. then, I took the first move as every time we want to kiss, usually, he was the one that did it. Now that I was certain, I want to make him mine. I move my face forward as I closed my eyes to kiss him. He did not budge. That was a good sign.

I snaked my hands around his neck to pull him closer to me. His hands were snaking around my waist as he pulled me closer to touch me. I can feel his hot breath on my face as I can feel his lips were coming closer to touch mine. My face burning. I can do this, I can do this! I thought to myself as I was pulling him closer.

my lips grazed his as I want to make it as quick as possible but longer than usual, and sensual as well until he got crazy only for mine. I smiled at the thought.

"what are you smiling at, dolcezza?" I can hear he was asking me a question and can feel he was smirking at my attempt. My face grew hotter. I need to keep this up.

"come on, I'm waiting," he said as he pulled me closer. Without thinking any further and to shut Lucca up, I went straight to his lips, kissing it hard. Lucca was jerking backward because of my impact. I can feel his soft lips on mine. I was smiling as he was quiet for a while. But that was a bad sign.

as I wanted to pull away, Lucca pulled me back in, onto his laps. I strangled his laps as I was sitting on him. I pulled his neck closer to me as he pulled me closer to him. It was magical as he kept kissing my lips, his tongue was trying to gain access to my mouth. I did not open it at first as I tried to keep it nice and slow but he kept pushing and with a swipe of his tongue on my lips, I gasped.

he chuckled before kissing me French style. His tongue was down my throat as he was pulling me closer. I was at my tipping point of breaking out of my desire. I need to have more control over this kiss as I was the one that initiated it.

"Lucca," I called him out as he stopped the kiss to get some fresh air.

"Hmm," he responded but he was exploring my neck and collarbone. I sighed as it was good.

"I have been wanting to do for a very long time," he said as he went to the hollow of my neck and shoulder. I moaned as my hand went to my mouth. It was humiliating and I don't even know that I can make that sound.

"Lucca, stop!" I said as I pushed him at arm's length. He obliged, thankfully, but he was smirking at me.

"we will continue this later, dolcezza," he said as he picked me up from his lap and put me on the sofa before went to the bathroom.

I went to the vanity mirror to calm me down as I can feel my face was getting hotter. I was looking at the mirror when I discovered that I had a hickey on my neck. How embarrassing!
