Betrothed To The Mafia Lord novel Chapter 209

Sofia’s POV

I lifted my hands up and pressed them against my face to stop myself from grinning when Luca lifted my teddy from the bed and turned around to stare at me with his brows lifted high a little.

“You want to snuggle with your new stuffie and leave my to myself throughout the night, that’s what you want now?” He asked in a teasing voice and I shook my head instantly as I felt my cheeks start to ache from me smiling way too much.

“No, I Just placed it there because I wasn’t sure of where to put it yet.” I argued in a small voice as I closed the distance between us and held my hand out for the teddy.

“Hm.” He hummed as he handed it to me and I wrapped my arms around it and buried my face against the warm fur of the teddy. I allowed my eyes to slide close after a few moments as I breathed in and out in a really slow way.

“You really like it, don’t you?” He asked and I nodded my head against the neck of the teddy before starting to speak.

“Of course I do, it’s so cute and warm and cuddly,” I said to him before slowly peeling my eyes open to stare up at him in the next second. I hit down on my lower lip a little before starting to speak.

“I never had one of these while growing up as a child, so it’s really unexpected and a lot appreciated that you could think of gifting me with something like this.” I said to him with a small smile dancing across my lips. A fond look was on Luca’s face the next moment and he reached out and started to strike my cheeks with his thumb a little.

“I just felt like you could use a stuffie that’s as cute as you are, you know? Instead, I was glad I was right.” He continued to say and I huffed out a little sigh before shooting him with a glare as I started to speak.

“I’m not adorable.” I said to him after a great seconds and watched as he snorted at that.

“Oh bunny, you are. You’re so freaking adorable most times that all I’d want to do in that particular moment I’d go cuddle you and make you feel really safe in my arms.” He pointed out and I felt my teeth start to dig into my lower lip in the next moment and after a few seconds, I averted my gaze from his face and decided to burrow into the soft fur of the teddy instead.

“See what I’m saying just now? You’re so freaking adorable, that it hurts sometimes.” He continued and I lifted the teddy to press it before my face, hiding my flaming cheeks in the softness of the stuffy’s fur as his words sabi into my head.

I honestly had no idea he sees me as he is currently talking about me, and I could feel my stomach flipping around like a pancake over a pan in that particular moment, as his words started to replay around every corner in my head. I felt his hands start to pluck the teddy out of my hands and before I could even think of protesting, he was swooping down and lifting me up into his arms. I gasped a little as I threw my arms around his shoulder, panting a little at being lifted so unexpectedly.

He lifted me in a bridal style and I felt my cheeks start to flame a little as I glanced up into his face to see him watching me intently.

“I wanna change out of my work clothes, bunny.” He paused and leaned forward to nussle against my cheeks in a way that made my stomach start to flutter once again.

“Can you wait for me here, I'll be back real fast.” He continued and I started to nod my head in response, tightening my arms around his shoulder when he started to pepper kisses over my cheek in the next second.

“I want to show you something once I get back.” He said and I perked up instantly and unconsciously bounced a little in his arms.
