Luca

After spending the day more than making up for lost time with my girl, in between snacks, a much more fun than usual shower, and a nap, I park my car and make my way around to the passenger side, then hold out my hand to help London.

Tonight she’s wearing a dress that I voted as being even hotter than my favorite navy one.This one is a dusty pink, with a low V front and floaty sleeves, and it goes to mid-calf.It makes her blue eyes sparkle and had me growling when I came into the bedroom and saw her wearing it, which means it’s a damn miracle we’re actually here on time for Marco and Renee’s pre-wedding gathering.

I slowly rake my eyes over her, earning a knowing smirk from London as I shut the door before her.Before I can think about moving, she hooks her arms over my shoulders and tugs me forward until my front is covering hers and her back is flush with my car .

“Hey,” I say, rubbing my nose against hers, my grin so big it hurts.“You need something, beautiful?”

She tilts her chin up and gazes up at me, that ten foot-tall feeling now jumping to twenty with the love I see in her eyes.Definitely an idiot for wasting so much time in denial with this one.

“Just wanted a moment to breathe you in.”

“Sniff away,” I say, turning my head and bringing her face to my neck.“Never knew you had that fetish but each to their own, babe.”

“Stop.”She giggles, playfully tapping the back of my head.“I actually thoughtyouwere the one with the sniffing fetish.”

I pull back and arch a brow.“When?”

“Never mind.You can indulge in any fetish you like as long as it’s with me.”

I dip my head down, smiling against her lips.“I love you, Lonnie.”

Her eyes flutter shut and she slowly exhales, and fuck, if that doesn’t act like the best punch to the gut I’ve ever had.To know that she wants that, shehaswanted it for so long, and that I can make her catch her breath by just telling her I love her might just be the best damn feeling in the world.So of course I have to kiss her, and ofcourseit goes long and deep and soon enough, I’m groaning into her mouth and her fingers are pulling at my hair.We come back to earth when a throat clears behind me.

In slow motion, I tear my lips from hers, not stepping back because I’m not in a physical state that’s suitable for the public right now.Turning my head, I freeze on the spot when I meet the curious and amused eyes of Cap and Lonnie’s mom, smirking beside him.

“Shit!”I say, stuck in fight-or-flight mentality.Lonnie’s hands holding steady on my shoulders keep me in place.

“Hey, Dad,” she snickers before burying her face in my chest in a fit of giggles

“London.Luc.”The Cap’s voice is deep and semi-awkward, but I know that’s only because of the circumstances rather than the fact I was mauling his daughter.“Nice to see you’ve sorted things out.We’ll see you inside.”

“I expect to see you at my table for dinner on Sunday night, Luca,” London’s mom calls out over her shoulder.

My girl looks up, her eyes crinkled at the corners and meeting mine.“Looks like the secret’s out.”

I sweep a loose tendril of hair behind her ear before cupping her face in my hands.“Not sure it was that much of a secret from anybody except me, beautiful.”

She shrugs, her smile growing wider.“Means everyone is going to know that youlurvveee me.”

“Good.”

“You sure about that?”

I dip my chin.“You mine, London Kelly?”

She lifts her mouth to press against my lips.“Are you mine, Luca Rossi?”

“Fuck yeah I am.”

“Then c’mon, Lieutenant.I think it’s high time we make our big entrance.”She pushes her palms into my chest and I step back, reaching down to lace my fingers with hers, craving that connection now that the floodgates have been opened and I can touch her whenever I want.

“Isn’t stealing the limelight breaking the rules when it’s not your own wedding?”

She shrugs and shoots me a wicked grin.If I’d thought London was beautiful before, she’s absolutely fucking gorgeous now with pink swollen lips and flushed cheeks.
