And when I do, Luca’s right there, holding me tight.
I tilt my head up, looking into his eyes, and he cups my cheek in his hand, looking seriously down into my face.
“You win,” I murmur, and he bursts into laughter as I tuck my head under his chin, and press my flushed cheek against his chest, and try to catch my breath.
Luca gives me a moment, rocking me back and forth, until I think he can feel me come back to myself more completely. He kisses me softly on the side of the head. “You okay?” he murmurs, curious and a little concerned.
I raise my head to glare at him a little, and then pass all of my emotions down our bond to him so I don’t have to bother putting it all into words. He grins as he feels them – figures out that it felt amazing, and overpowering, and delicious, and wonderful, and scary. All at once.
I just sigh and murmur that I’m fine, shaking my head at the understatement.
Luca tightens his arms around me and, and I can feel his own joy pulsing through him. “Wait till you see what I can do with my tongue,” he murmurs.
My head whips up, my eyes a little wide, because if that wasn’t the full extent of it…
Luca just laughs, and traces the shape of my bottom lip with his thumb, and shakes his head, staring at me like he could never look at me long enough. “You’re so beautiful,” he whispers, making me smile. “And very sexy.”
This just makes me blush, and laugh, and look away from him a little bit, down at the floor, because that I find hard to believe.
“What?” he says, brushing his hand along my jaw and turning my head to look back up at him. “You don’t think so?”
