I take a step away from him with the biggest smile on my face. “Of course.”
The smile melts off my face when I turn around to find three of our personal assistants gawking through the windows, their eyes wide. Did they… did they just see us… “Oh God.” How could I have forgotten about them? My old desk looks straight into this office.
Luca laughs, and I throw him a glare, but that doesn’t dissuade him. “Finally,” he tells me, his gaze filled with glee.
I shake my head as I walk out of his office, my face blazing. None of the assistants can look me in the eye, their faces as red as I’m sure mine is. I’m still reeling by the time I sink into my own chair, safely hidden away in my office.
He really does make me lose my icy cool. When I’m around him, I turn back into a version of myself I thought I’d lost. Is it okay for me to be this happy? Am I asking for too much when I pray that this will last forever?
I sigh, my happiness fading a little when I browse through my emails. Looks like Jessica is refusing to entertain our offer to purchase unless Luca is personally in charge of the acquisition. The thought of that makes me uncomfortable, and I hate that it does. I want to be able to trust my husband, especially because he deserves my trust more than anyone else.
“Valentina.”
I look up in surprise and check my watch. “Luca, it’s been fifteen minutes since I left your office.”
He shrugs as he walks toward me. “That meeting was bullshit, anyway. It could’ve been an email, so I was able to wrap it up qui—” His sentence trails off as his eyes zone in on the name plaque on my desk.
“Fuck,” he groans, his expression one I’ll never forget. He pauses in front of my desk and lets his fingers trail over the writing. So this is what true happiness looks like, what itfeelslike.
“The confession,” he asks, his gaze moving between the plaque and me continuously, as though he can’t tear his eyes off it. “What is it?”
When he looks at me that way, all of my worries are laid to rest. I promised him that I’d give us an honest chance, so that’s exactly what I’ll do. I grab the remote control on my desk and turn my windows opaque, refusing to make the same mistake as earlier. Luca’s eyes widen, and then he smirks mischievously before walking up to me.
“Promise you’ll forgive me?” I ask as I rise from my chair and push against him, making him fall onto it instead.
He smirks at me as he leans back, spellbound. “You know I will, because you’d never do something I couldn’t forgive you for.”
“I wouldn’t be so sure.” He raises his brows as I drop down to my knees between his legs. “This is an elaborate ruse that spanned years and years. I had you completely fooled.”
For a moment, I see his faith in me waver, but then I place my hands on his knees, and he smiles. “Tell me, baby.”
I slide my hands up his thighs slowly as I look up at him, barely able to suppress my smile. “Luca… I don’t like the color pink.”
He bursts out laughing and buries a hand in my hair. “What? The markers and sticky notes? The pens, the paperclips? The meeting notes you’d hand me printed on pink paper?”
I undo his trousers and grab his cock, delighted to find him already hard for me. I lick my lips and rest the tip of his cock against my mouth. “I only did it because I know how much youdespisepink. I’m sorry, babe. I definitely deserve punishment for deceiving you that way, don’t I?”
“Yes,” he says as he guides his cock into my mouth. “You do.”
He grabs a fistful of my hair as I take him deeper, my tongue teasing him endlessly. Knowing how badly he wants me has my own desire rising rapidly. There’s something special about being truly wanted.
“My beautiful little liar,” he murmurs, pulling his cock all the way out of my mouth. I groan in disappointment, and he smirks as he rises to his feet, until I’m at eye level with his cock. He grabs it, his wedding ring a beautiful sight as he curls his fingers around it. “I’m going to fuck your face and punish you for the torment you put me through.”
He holds onto my hair as he gently pushes his cock back into my mouth, holding me still as he uses my mouth. He’s the only one I’ll ever submit to, and he knows it, revels in it.
“I fucking love you,” he groans as he thrusts a little harder, a little faster, but never enough to make me gag or choke. I look up at him to find him staring at me with utter devotion, and I suck down on him even harder.
I didn’t think I had a heart left to give, but perhaps that’s because he stole it long before I realized it.
Chapter Fifty-Four
Luca
I glance at my pocket watch and smile at the photo of Valentina inside it. My father once told me he’d hand it down to me if I ever got married, and that I should put a picture of my wife in it then. I didn’t think I could ever bear to replace the old, faded photo of my mother, but I understand it now.
I get why my dad told me to put a photo of my wife in this pocket watch. It gives me perspective and reminds me what I’m doing this all for. It reminds me that every second not spent efficiently is a second I could’ve spent with her — which is why I’m even more annoyed to be sitting here.
“The price you offered is fair, I have to say,” Jessica tells me.
