Betrothed To The Mafia Lord novel Chapter 207

Sofia’s POV

I was sitting in the middle of all the books I was trying to sort out and I’ve been getting carried away each time I pick up a particular book to check the back of the cover for the blurb. My insides were bursting with energy and I was finding it really hard to concentrate on what I was currently doing.

I was in a little short and another large shirt without a bare beneath the shirt this time. After taking my bath, I decided not to head outside anymore since my books have already been placed in my bedroom by no other than Matilda. Before going into the shower, I had paused outside the bathroom, before the mirror in order to check how my throat looked, and it honestly looked really awful. The marks were really dark and looked oh so angry, but I had no idea as to why me seeing those marks against my skin was making my insides twist in a weird kind of way.

The fact that I didn’t hate those said marks and wanted it to always be around my throat, so that each time I stare at it, I’d get reminded of Luca and how he made that appear on my throat. It was a really weird feeling and I know that, but I couldn’t seem to shake the feeling of pride and satisfaction off my body each time I got reminded of those marks… and then I proceeded to go take a shower with my insides still twisting around with a low heat burning in it.

At the moment, I was trying to sort my books out to no avail. The new teddy I just got today was on the bed behind me while I was sitting on the floor in a cross legged position. I've yet to find a name for the teddy, but I wanted to name it so badly at this point.

I glanced up at the wall clock here in the bedroom and worried my teeth over my bottom lip when my eyes registered what the time currently says. It was some minutes after eight in the night and I was hoping Luca would be here soon. I wanted to get to lay my eyes on him and be able to feel his door against me and be able to kiss him and feel his hands against my body.

I breathed out a sigh as I pushed my hair out of my face and continued to do what it was that I had been trying to do with the books ever since I took a seat right here on the ground.

After a few more minutes, I was starting to pack the books back into the carton, with a few selected ones arranged in a different spot at the back of my folded leg. I was about to push those cartons beside my bedside table when I heard the bedroom door start to get pushed open, and I held my breath instantly before turning my head around and facing the bedroom door.

I locked eyes with Luca almost immediately and I felt the breath in my lungs get pushed out in a small gasp. I could feel my insides starting to tighten up at that particular moment, just as my stomach started to feel like that burning heat was only getting more intense as each second slipped past the clock. I couldn’t help it, I broke into a small grin and felt my heart skip a thousand beats when he quietly shut the door behind him and paused for a moment behind it, with his eyes locked on my face, as he stared at me in that particular kind of way that was making my belly swoop over and over again.

I was super excited to see him, after hoping for him to get back for a while now. But now that he was here right now, I was feeling extremely shy before him, and I was feeling really small beneath his deep and sharp gaze. He started to make his way towards me after a few more seconds and I felt the smile slowly slide off my face, just as my stomach started to tighten up really more in that particular moment.

I pushed myself to my feet and closed the rest of the distance between us, staring up at him and digging my lower lip into my teeth as I tried desperately to ignore the heat in my stomach as I placed my hands lightly on his suit jacket.

“Hi Luca.” I whispered in a low voice, feeling a smile threatening to split out on my face in the next second.

“How are you, bunny?” He mumbled out in a low voice and I felt a small shudder run down my spine at that particular moment.

I flush red in embarrassment for a few seconds before starting to speak. “I’m good, and excited.” I murmured to him, bouncing on my legs a little.

“You are?” He asked and I nodded my head instantly, feeling my hair fall into my face almost immediately.
