CHAPTER 48

　　Luca

　　I watched as Maxine scrambled around trying to get everything prepared for the dinner. Liam and Caleb would be coming as well so her and Rosa were working overtime to make things perfect.

　　I had never seen her in the kitchen before so I found it amusing. Hell I didn't even know she could cook.

　　From the looks of it she knew what she was doing though. Her sleeves were rolled up and she had flour in her hair. It amazed me how she still managed to look sexy.

　　She was wearing an apron over her dress and I could see every curve as she moved around and paid special attention when she bent over. I'm not ashamed to say I was staring. Nor did I give a damn if anyone was watching me do it. She was mine, all mine.

　　"Okay we're just about done. You can go up and get ready sweetheart," Rosa told her.

　　She nodded and headed up the stairs.

　　"You should be getting ready to. It won't be long before everyone starts arriving," she said to me.
