My eyes widen as I sit up in bed. Luca has never given me a gift before. “Why?”

He’s standing shirtless, looking every bit as powerful as he is. He doesn’t take my question lightly, and I watch as he forms his answer before replying.

“I wanted to show good faith in our marriage, in the team we will become. If I am to succeed in my plans, I need you to be strong by my side. I don’t want a meek wife who lets me get away with everything. If I’m to stay strong, I need someone who’s not scared of me, even when I may become frightening.”

He’s incredibly intense and passionate as he speaks, showing how strongly he believes in this. When Luca shows emotions, they are so powerful it seems to take over my heart. Like all those other times, it pulses with a ferocity. This is the Luca who believes in us, but if I ever betray him, this is also the side that wouldn’t think twice about killing me. Because if I ever betray him, I would be ripping out his heart, and he would finish the job by killing his soul with my life.

“I love you.” I wish I could show him how much. I wish there was a way to prove this isn’t one-sided.

He comes down to the bed and forces his lips on mine. My nails scrape at his back, trying to get him closer, to prove I will never betray him. I need that skin to skin. It seems to be the only way to settle both of our hearts.

Our lips press together, our breaths becoming one. His weight crushes me against the bed. It’s like we’re battling for each other’s heart. I bite his lip, my nails scraping down his back. He pushes his erection into me as he pulls my hair, moving my head wherever he wants it.

It feels like we’re fighting for or against something. I’m just not a hundred percent sure what. Maybe we need this to confirm we both hold each other by the heart. One tiny squeeze and we have the power to ruin one another. Or maybe this is a warning of what will come if we destroy the trust we have somehow built up.

I hear his hiss when one of my nails scrapes a little too deep, and he takes my hands, moving them above my head, securing them with his.

He’s pinned me down so I can’t move. His legs hold mine too. I’m wearing a short, barely there nightgown with no panties. A light draft dances across my upper thighs, my nightgown having risen to my waist, exposing me to him. I push myself against him, unable to break free of his demanding kiss.

His lips come to my neck, kissing, sucking, and nipping. It’s on the edge between hurting and feeling good, just like everything else we seem to do to each other.

When I look at him, I think he is the most handsome man I have ever seen. I love the seriousness of his features. Even his natural smile is menacing, where you can’t tell if he’s happy or not. I watch his face break, making his hard features become softer—still rigid, yet lighter.

I know right then that I will always follow Luca, no matter what. I gave my heart to him before I even realized it.

I try to move my hands; I want to touch his face, but he holds them tighter. He manages to pull down his pants and boxers to his thighs, then he’s plunging into me.

I moan out, welcoming how amazing he feels inside me. He thrusts into me like he’s punishing me. I keep up with him, moving with his body, meeting each of his hard movements.

He’s taking my breast in, sucking ravishingly on it. I have no doubt I’ll be marked in the morning. My whole body is bouncing with our quick pulses.

“Aly, you drive me mad,” he grunts. I try to nip at him, wanting to rile him up. He groans as he goes so deep his stomach grinds against my clit with each of his punishing moves, and he hits the right spot. I scream out, my whole body shaking from the orgasm exploding out of me.

Luca makes two deep thrusts before moaning my name. It sounds primal and ferocious. If I didn’t know him, it might scare me.

Lazily, he lets go of my hands, and they go around his neck.

“Was that my present?”

He laughs, and instantly I want to hear that sound every day of my life. It’s sexy and makes my heart flutter. “No.”

Slowly, he pulls out of me, removing my hands from around him. I miss the connection already.

“I’m giving you your business back.”

I’m taken aback by the fact that he thinks he could take it away. But at the same time, I’m shocked, speechless, because he had been adamant he didn’t want me to do that.

He places his fingers on my mouth. “I have your computer, and I have my guys making certain your girls are still safe and no one has tried to sweep in.”

He’s being sexist right now, but the thought is sweeter than hell. He knows this is important to me, and he’s letting me do what I love. And I do love it.

“Thank you,” I concede. It does mean a lot to me. I worked hard to get it up and running.

“Let’s get some sleep. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day.”
