I gave one more look back at Luca,and he was watching the two of us over his shoulder, a smile on his face.
Any lingering doubts melted away,and I knew I was exactly where I belonged.
EPILOGUE
“Did you see them?” Ilooked at Luca in the bathroom mirror as I pulled thebobbypins out of my hair.“I swear I just watched Malcolm impregnateAsh.”
Luca dabbed at a spot on his shirt that I couldn’t see, but he had assured meitwas there and was a serious problem. “Pretty sure the whole club saw them. You know, I’ve never been at a conception before. I feel honored.”
I laughed, leaning over to dig through the cabinet formy makeup remover wipes.Our new ensuite bathroom was double the space of the old one, but I still struggled to find a place for all my beautyjunk.
“It’ll be a great story to tell my godchild when they’re older.” Closing my eyes, I rubbed away the expertly drawn, winged liner. “Do you think they made it home,okay? One minute they were there fucking through their clothes, the next . . . Poof! They were gone!”
“I’m sure they’refine.” Luca sighed heavily, yanking off his shirt and tossing it on the floor. “Damn it! Another shirt bites the dust thanks to Evie’s colorful cocktails!”
He stood there pouting, but all I could focus on was his drool-inducing body—his chiseled muscles covered in scarred tan skin, the hint of dark hair above his waistband, and a single tattoo over his heart,marking him as mine.
“You’re not even listening.”
With a herculean effort, I tore my eyes away from their bodacious feast. “I’m sorry, what?”
Huffing, Luca left the bathroom,and I heard clothes rustling. He came back in only his boxer briefs. “Adriana and Marco. They were all kinds of cozy.”He went to his sink and pulled out his water pick. “It was weird to see.”
I watched his muscles jump a little as he liftedthe device. I hummed in agreement as my gaze traced from his hand up to his arm to his broad, glorious shoulders. Dude was fucking stacked. He interrupted my ogling when he casually added, “You know, they dated before she met Dante.” He started shooting water between his teeth, somehow not making a mess.
“Come again?” I dropped my cotton rounds,and they fell all over the floor.
“Damn it,Sash!” Luca put down his water pick and got down on his hands and knees.
I sat on the edge of the tub,watching him scoop up the mess, completely taken aback. He shook his head and leaned back on his heels. “Yeah, Marco and Adriana went on a few dates before Dante met her, and, well, you know what happened then.”
“That’s wild. How did I not know this?”
Luca’s back flexed as he reached for a rogue piece.
He was too fucking beautiful.
My eyes never strayed from his form as I mumbled out, “I’m all for my girl getting it, even if it is with asshole Marco. Maybe she can pull the stick out of his ass while she’s at it.”
When Luca laughed, his stomach tensed,and I pressed my legs together. With enough pressure,I could’ve come by watching him clean up my mess.
He could make money just recording himself cleaning up naked—so much money.
The room fell silent for a minute,and when he looked up, he caught my lust-filled gaze. A smile pulled at his plump lips,and he glanced down at his full hands. Pulling out a random drawer, Luca cringed as he shoved the cotton rounds next to whatever thehellI’d crammed in there.
He shook his head and knee-walked over to me. Every inch of me felt his stare. He licked his bottom lip,and I couldn’t help but mimic him. There was no mistaking what was about to go down.
My heart sped up the closer he got,and my knees fell open,making room for him.
Luca shuffled between my legs, pressing into me. The heat from his body clouded my already frazzled thoughts. Running his hands down my side, he kissed the corner of my mouth. “As great as you looked tonight, I have to say I’m a big fan of this look.”
“Noted. I’ll start going out in my underwear.” I placed a hand on his chest as my other lightly gripped the back of his neck.
“Perfect.” He traced the edge of my bra, his touch,so gentle goosebumps followed in its wake. His fingers traced down my spine, sending a shiver up my back before he reached my ass.Cradled between my legs, his growing length pressed hot against my core, creating a hunger in my body that only he could satisfy. Luca quietly groaned before tugging my face to his. When our lips met, all restraint disappeared.
Our teeth clashed as we kissed with little finesse. Our frantic movements jarred me from the edge of the tub and on top of Luca. He landed on the bathmat with a soft grunt but never stopped his conquest.
Before I knew it, my bra was in the sink, my panties on the toilet seat, and Luca’s boxers were lost to the shower curtain.
