Undressed By The Mafia God novel Chapter 495

Chapter 495: I Can Hear You Thinking

Bianca had once been his wife.

His history.

A year of his life.

And still, when she became a threat to what he loved now, Luca had ended it. For him, she had become the line nothing crossed and lived.

"I can hear you thinking, Bambola," Luca said. He dropped his glass on the bar with a soft clink and walked back toward her.

"It’s nothing," she said.

Luca’s expression told her he did not believe that for one second. Still, he joined her on the sofa, lowering himself beside her and kicking off his shoes. Vee shifted closer, and his arm came around her.

"I’m just glad you are back home," she said.

His thumb brushed idly against her arm.

"I was thinking," Vee said carefully, "we have a small reception party to celebrate our wedding with family in Italy."

Luca looked at her. "You want Val to see Marco."

Vee sighed. "You see through me too much."

"I enjoy the view."

"I really do want us to celebrate with the family," she added.

Luca saw the hope in her face. She wanted healing. She wanted their marriage to be marked by something other than war. "Anything you want."

"But not right now," he added. "Italy is... well... let’s just say, Italy is currently hot."

Vee’s smile faded. "Isn’t your mother there?" she asked in concern.

"Yeah, she is," Luca said. "But she will be fine. You think Don would let anything happen to her?"

"Yeah, you’re right." Vee sighed.

"Don’t worry." Luca’s hand moved slowly along her spine. "We will have a party. Once all of this is over."

"Will it ever be?"

"It will be." He said it like a fact already settled. "You will be safe and we will be happy." He lifted her face to his and kissed her, his hand sliding to cradle the back of her head. When he pulled back just far enough to speak, his thumb traced her lower lip. "I really missed you," he murmured against her mouth.

"I saw you at the precinct. Talking to Voss. You were so beautiful. So perfect. Thank you."

"Anything for our family," she said simply, and kissed him again. She leaned forward, guiding him back against the cushions until he was lying beneath her, and climbed over him, settling her weight against his chest. His hands found her hips, steadying her there.
