BECKA
Icurled into his body burying my face in his neck. Luca’s steady heartbeat pounded in my ear. Moments ago I was encased in dark, with fear skittering up and down my spine like cockroaches. But in his arms I felt safe, his warmth chasing away the ice in my veins. It’s unnerving the way my walls of self-reliance came crashing down anytime Luca was there to protect me. When it came to Luca I liked the feeling of needing his protection.
Things were happening so fast between us time seemed to disappear. Not just the lust and feelings, but the comfort I felt in his arms. The way his touch put me at ease in a matter of moments sent my head spinning like a top. It terrified me. Would this pleasant bubble last? Or burst with devastating pain that would rip me apart?
After several minutes of silence, Luca released me from his embrace. He cupped my cheeks in his hands and placed a featherlight kiss to my lips. I couldn’t muster a smile. Instead, I closed my eyes as a shuttering breath left me, taking most of my tension with it.
“I think it’s time you wear this.”
My eyes snapped open to see the ring pinched between his fingers. My heart thumped against my ribs, lips splitting into a wide smile as joy rushed through my limbs.
The bubble might eventually burst, but where was the harm in enjoying it while it lasted?
Luca took my left hand and slipped the ring on with a pleased grin. My breath hitched. It fitted perfectly. The smile on my face grew seeing the way it complimented my hand.
“Thank you,” I whispered, stretching out my arm, wiggling my fingers, watching the light dance on the diamonds. I looked at him. “Where is yours?”
He reached into his pocket and produced a simple, wide titanium band. Luca placed it in my hand, bidding me to do the honors. Giddiness had me squirming in his lap. After slipping it on his finger I spun it a few times, loving the way it looked on his masculine, strong hand. Biting my lip I thought about how those hands held me and pleasured me the night before— not to mention twenty minutes ago.
A thought whirled around my mind in a gust of wind. My face fell, nerves clogged up my throat.
“Baby, what’s wrong?” Luca asked, concern and confusion lacing his tone.
“Umm…” I cleared my throat, trying to find the words.
“Becka?” His head dipped trying to find my eyes.
“We ah… didn’t use any protection. And ah… with the amount of girls…”
“Baby I’m clean according to my resent test. If that’s what you are worried about? I’ve never gone without a condom before you.” His lips twitched. “Never felt anything so good as being bare inside you. It almost had me coming after only two seconds.”
My cheeks heated, nodding my head in understanding but I didn’t reply.
Luca tipped my chin up, our gazes colliding. “I swear Becka. You believe me?”
“Yes, I believe you.” I really did. “It’s not just that though. I’m not on birth control and I don’t think me getting pregnant would be the best thing right now.” My gaze skipped from his face to my lap. He watched me with a weighted stare that pressed in on my lungs. “I still need time to adjust and we haven’t had enough time for… us to get to know each other better.” I couldn’t keep the apprehension out of my voice, while my fingers fidgeted in the sheet. I didn’t know how he felt about kids.
His smile was knowing. “I completely agree.” Luca pushed some stray hairs out of my face, tucking it behind my ear. “What do you need?”
My shoulders slumped in relief, bottled up air rushing out of me. “I need to get to a doctor and get a contraceptive shot. From my count, I’m nowhere near ovulation so we shouldn’t have to worry about a morning after pill.”
Strong arms banded around me. His naked torso warmed my bare skin as he pulled me in tight to his chest. Heat swam circles in my belly. “We have a private doctor on payroll. We can go see him today.”
“A doctor on payroll?”
“We have a few doctors and surgeons on payroll at our beck and call. Hospitals ask too many questions.”
“Oh. I see.” I said, shaking my head, still rattled by the world I now existed in.
“Take a shower and get ready. I will call and let him know we are coming in. How are you…feeling?” Luca nodded to where the sheet in my lap barely covered my bits.
A sheepish smile crept over my face. “A little sensitive. But good.” Rolling my lips together, I met his eyes. “Are you going to take a shower with me?” My body was already heating from the inside out with want. It felt like I would never get enough of him.
His smile was full of amusement. “Baby if I get in the shower with you I’m going to end up inside you again. Bend you over and take you from behind.” His gaze heated, muscles twitching around me.
My hands slid up his hard chest as I brushed my lips against his. A throbbing ache built between my thighs, accompanying the sensitivity lingering there. “Do you hear me complaining?”
Luca hissed, pressing his lips to mine, kissing me deeply. In one swift movement he pulled the sheet off and swung my legs around him. I felt his arousal trying to escape from his pants. Then he stood and carried me to the shower.
