Betrothed To The Mafia Lord novel Chapter 146

Luca’s POV

We weren’t touching anything, and the only parts of our bodies that were touching at the moment were our joined fingers and nothing more.

But that littl bit of contact was kind of enough for me, I didn’t want to start being greedy and start wanting the whole thing when I just literally started doing it right with her.

And even though her fingers felt really nice in her grip, it felt like her fingers were warm, while mine was cold, or it was the other way round. Either way, nevertheless, it made holding hand with her feel really nice, and this was most definitely in a very non sexual way.

I climbed up the stairs and pulled her up along with me carefully. I had only looked back at her once, ever since we had started to make our way out of the dining room, and our eyes had locked immediately. Of course she had been the one to look away first, and I only breathed out a chuckle as I got to the top or the stairs and paused until she got there as well, in the next moment.

We made our way towards our room and I pushed the door open as soon as we had made our way towards the front of the door. I walked in first and pulled her in with me, and then I pushed the door closer behind me.

I finally loosened my hold on je fingers reluctantly, not wanting to let go of her hand, not knowing that I had to, because it would Just be completely weird if I still kept on holding her hands.

“Do you want to shower first?” I asked after a few moments had passed and the both of us were still standing in the same position we had been in, when I had pushed the door closed.

“Um, shower?” She faintly whispered and without my own consent, images I’d rather not dwell upon at this very moment, started to dance around all over the insides of my head all at once. I shook my head a little to clear the images out of my head, as I made to reply to her.

“Yeah, shower. You do want to shower, right?” I asked as I turned my head around to stare down at her. The lights in here weren’t turned on except from the

Lowest light in the led lights and it was a bit hard for me to see the expressions that were most definitely crossing her face at this very moment.

The light was low, but it felt intimate somehow, and I didn’t want to kill it off by turning on a brighter light.

“Um, yeah, I do.” She finally replied in a voice which was still as low as the first one and I nodded my head towards the bathroom door even though she couldn’t see my face at the moment, due to how dim the lights was, as I murmured out a reply.

“Go on then.”

And go on she did. A few moments later she was making her way towards the bathroom. She got into the bathroom and shut tne door firmly behind her, and I felt a breath whoosh out of my throat almost immediately.

I made my way towards the bed and sank into it, luffing out a breath and carding my fingers through my hair instantly.

Oh well, she has gone to shower for the night right now.

And, I sure as hell wasn’t going to think about how she showered, or what she looked like with water pouring down her shoulders and down some other places… which I’d rather not think about at this very moment.

I shook my head a little as I tugged on the back of my hair for a few moments, before releasing my hold on the hair and pushing myself into my feet immediately after that. I started to take off my jacket which I was still surprisingly in, after stressing so much at the office.

I’d have taken it off immediately when I had gotten home on a normal day, but for some reasons which were well known to me, it didn’t cross my mind one bit to take it off and even unbutton the top buttons or my jackets like I’d have done on a normal day.
