“He touched you. I’m a very jealous man, Delaney, and I think you know that.”

“It was nothing, Luka. I promise,” she says. I can feel her pulse thumping against my fingers, and I want nothing more than to strip and fuck her right here for everyone to see. I want him to know who she belongs to.

“Don’t let it happen again,Bellissima.” I lean in and brush my lips over hers. She sighs and leans into me, which surprises me. I wrap my arms around her waist and pull her body closer to mine. Her warmth spreads through me when she wraps her arms around my neck. I wasn’t expecting that, but it’s a welcome surprise.

We stand, just holding each other for a long time, when my lips brush over her cheek and down her neck.

“We’re outside, Luka.”

“And?”

“And people can see us,” she whispers.

“You think I care what they see? That they can see me kissing my wife?” she shifts in my arms and pulls back a little. “What?” I ask.

“I don’t know if I’m ready for all this yet.”

“Ready for what?”

“To sleep with you,” she replies.

“We’re not doing anything wrong, Delaney. I’m only kissing you,” I tell her.

“Yes, I know that. But …”

“But what?”

“I-”

“You what? Is this turning you on? Am I making you wet? Would you be soaked for me if I slid my hand into your bottoms?” I ask her. I know exactly what this is doing to her, and I fucking like it. I like all of it.

“Please, Luka.” I force myself away from her but remain close enough to keep an eye on her.

We soak up the sun and enjoy the water. When I splash Delaney, she starts smiling and laughing nonstop. That’s not something I thought I’d see anytime soon, but there it is. She lights up the pool, and I can’t stop staring at her.

In the perfect world, this is how it would be every day. She would be happy and smiling. In a perfect world, we wouldn’t have to go home and face the consequences of what I’ve done. But this isn’t the perfect world. This is our world. The Bianchi world.

I shake my head and climb out of the pool while Delaney laughs with a few girls she met. I dry off, grab my phone checking messages and emails. There’s one from her father making sure she isn’t dead. I chuckle at that one.

“What’s so funny?”

“Your father is checking in to be sure I didn’t kill you on our honeymoon.”

“Kill me?”

“Yes. Apparently, they think I just kill for fun,” I tell her what she told me. Her smile fades as she looks at me.

“I’m sorry I said that to you.”

“Don’t be. I want to hear your thoughts.”

“You do?”

“Yes. I want to know everything, Delaney.”

Chapter 13

“How are your paintings coming along?” I ask as we sit out back with a glass of wine.
