Betrothed To The Mafia Lord novel Chapter 285

Luca’s POV

I climbed up the stairs and was in front of the bedroom door after a few minutes, and I paused before the door for a few seconds and used that time to drag in a deep breath into my lungs, and then I let it out really slowly. I repeated the motion a few times until I could feel the urgency that had gotten intense on my way upstairs start to slowly dwindle away. I puffed out a small breath and pushed my fingers into my hair, panting a little at the next moment. Once I was sure that I wasn’t feeling driven by an intense urgency, I lifted my hand and placed it on the door Knob, and then I turned it and pushed the door open. I made my way into the room and pushed the door close behind me instantly, noticing that the lights were turned on to the brightest ones in here, which was very rare. It was unusual because I didn’t see the use of those bright lights most times and tend to be quite contented with the dim and led ones… but I just know that Sofia had turned these ones one probably because of one of her books that she was reading.

A quick glance at the bed proved me right, because right there on one or the pillows, was an opened book, and beside it was where she had placed her phone at.

Just as I started to make my way away from the side of the door, deeper into the room, Sofia suddenly emerged from the bathroom and she froze a little as soon as she noticed that someone was right here in the bedroom. The shock only managed to last for a few seconds because the shock was melting off her face in the next second to reveal a bright smile spreading out on her face.

I found myself returning her grin without even thinking about it, just as she started to wall towards me, and in the next moment, she was before me, grinning up at me with the most beautiful and brightest smile on her face, directed at me in that very moment.

She was currently in a white shirt, a very big one which I recognized to be one of mine, and it looked longer than the blue dress she had on in those videos and pictures she sent me this afternoon. The shirt was normally big on my body, and at this moment, it was hanging off one of her shoulders and enveloping her up really cutely, with the edge or the shirt reaching her mid tights. She looked really comfy and snuggly as hell and I wished we didn’t have to go back downstairs any moment from now, because I’d have grabbed this chance to cuddle with her until I could smell myself oh her.

Without wasting any more time, I reached forward and moved my hands around her waist, my long fingers spanning the slim curve of her waist as I tugged her firmly against me until she was plastered against me. She pushed herself up to place her hands on my shoulders just as I pulled her into my arms, burying my face into her shoulders and dragging in a deep breath after a fleeting second.

“Gosh, you smell so good, bunny.” I whispered against her shoulders as I nosed my way over the curve of her neck and shoulder, the one which was completely bared due to one part of the shirt dropping off it. I felt her shiver a little against me, hands tightening in my shirt as she muttered something incoherent in the next moment.

I hugged her for a while longer right before I pulled out of the hug and lifted my hands up to start to frame her face in my hands, admiring how stunning she looked with a small smile tugging the sides of her lips as she stared up at me. I could feel the ache in my heart that had taken place right there in the middle of my chest, ever since I arrived at the airport this early evening start to slowly loosen up as soon as I had taken her into my arms and held her close against me. The hole in my heart wasn’t feeling empty any longer and was starting to feel like it was over brimming with so many emotions all at once. I didn’t know exactly where to channel those emotions at the moment because I didn’t think I was ready to vocally address those emotions for now, and so I said the first thing that was rolling around on my tongue.

“You make me feel really whole, bunny.”

I watched as she blinked a little, right before a cute dusting of color flooded into her soft cheeks.

“I do?” She asked after a couple of moments, as she blinked those cute blue eyes of hers at me. I hummed a little in response before moving one of my hands which was cradling her face, to the back of her neck.

“Yes, bunny… you do.” I affirmed as soon as I closed my hold at the nape of her throat and squeezed firmly, asserting a dominant claim at her in that particular moment which I knew was going to make her toes curl up assuming we were currently in bed. Her eyes fluttered close, mouth falling open as she shuddered against me in response to that touch.

“Uh, thank you.” She ended up whispering in response after a few moments and I grinned down at her as I nodded my head a little. She blinked up at me for a moment before starting to speak.

“You’re perfect.” She echoed out and I started at her at first before breathing out a slow laugh.

“I am?”

She nodded her head instantly. “Mm-hm.”

I moved the hand that was currently loosely gripping the back of her neck all over to the front of her face.m, in order to brush some of her hair out of her face, as a small smile tugged at the side of my lips, just as I started to speak.

“No, bunny. That’s all you. You’re perfect.”

I watched as another wave of color started to spread across her cheeks, as she made to begin an argument. I cut her off by pressing a thumb against her lips, and then I continued to speak.

“Shh. You’re perfect… very perfect for me.”

And then I tugged her face upwards and brushed my lips over the smooth, soft skin of her forehead, and I wrapped my arms around her waist and tugged her against me, just as I shifted my lips to press it into her hair, dragging the strawberry and lemonade scent into my lungs, as a small sigh slipped past my lips, and got muffled against her hair instantly.

I’d have loved to remain in that position for a really long while, but not too long after, Sofia was shuffling and squirming around against me until my hold around her got slackened enough for her to be able to glance up into my face.
