Luca owns every inch of me, taking control of my body without any resistance from me. The warmth pooling within my core grows bigger, spreading through my body with an urgency I can’t control.
My nails scratch over the desk, looking for something to dig into and failing, but that doesn’t take away from the pleasure coursing through me.
The moans turn to screams, and when Luca smacks my other ass cheek, I can’t hold back any longer. Spots filter into my vision. I lose myself to the passion and trust that Luca has me when my legs feel as though they’re becoming putty.
My breathing is ragged as I lay my cheek against the wood surface beneath me, and the jerky movements of Luca behind me confirm that he wasn’t too far behind me. As he stills, his hands rub over my back, then down my ass, massaging my sore muscles.
It takes several minutes before the lightheadedness eases and I feel as though I can stand without fear of crumpling to the floor.
Luca pulls out of me and helps me rise. As soon as I stand, a sticky wetness drips between my thighs. I reach for a tissue from his desk before turning around. When I can see his face, there's a cocky grin there that has my own smile reappearing.
“Was that everything you hoped it would be?” I tease as he takes the tissues from my fingers.
One of his hands tightens around my hip, and the other slips between my legs to clean me up. “And then some.”
I lean back, watching with admiration as he cares for me without missing a beat. Only when he’s finished does he move to pull up his pants. “I have some more work to take care of, but I’ll be done before dinner.”
“Work for Monroe Investments or…” He hasn’t said anything about Tori, but I can’t leave his office without an update. Even if it’s that nothing has changed.
“Monroe, but I checked in on Tori this morning,” he replies, handing me my pants and underwear. “She’s still doing fine from what we can tell. I just need a few more days, unless something points to her being in more danger.”
As much as I want Tori out of that house, I trust Luca. So, instead of arguing with him, I nod with understanding. “I appreciate you keeping eyes on her.”
“We have someone watching the house at all times,” he says. “But what we’re really hoping for is to get in touch with Bryson. I need to know what Titan’s end game is and to make sure there aren’t any contingencies set in place for when he fails. Once we have the information, that man will regret the day he chose to go after me and hurt you.”
When he says those words, telling me that he’s going to kill my father, I feel nothing but utter joy and peace that he’ll soon no longer be walking this Earth… I know I’m right where I’m supposed to be.

OLIVIA
Three more days pass, and while I’m starting to go insane that Tori is still in the clutches of Titan, I’m at least healing and ready to make sure that I’m not left behind when it’s time to go get my best friend.
Luca has been to meeting after meeting and working all hours of the day, but he seems certain that they’ll be able to speak with Bryson soon. Certain plans have been put into motion, causing some chaos.
I lean my head back on my new tub and sigh contentedly. “Chaos, my ass. He means death.”
I’ve learned quickly that Luca doesn’t do anything without making a statement, and that usually ends with people dying. Bad people, but still. As I soak in the bubble bath for the first time since the bathroom remodel was finished in record time, I try to block out all other thoughts and just enjoy the fact that I was able to walk and bend over without wincing. More importantly, most of my bruises have faded to a barely visible yellow.
My eyes close and I wiggle my toes out of the water as my legs float upward. The bathroom is steamy from the hot water, and music plays from my phone on the counter. This could only be more perfect if I wasn’t alone.
Then, as if my thoughts conjured the devil himself, I feel vibrations from the slamming of the front door moving through the apartment and hear Luca’s heavy steps coming closer.
Still, I don’t move or even open my eyes. This is my time, and unless he says we’re moving on Tori, I don’t intend to ask him for an update. I’ve learned that no news right now is the good kind, which I’m slowly becoming okay with.
I listen as he enters the bedroom, and I’m pretty sure I hear him go into the closet. There’s some rustling around before his steps come closer to me.
My chest starts to tighten, and when he says my name gruffly, I’m pretty sure I stop breathing.
By the time I open my eyes, he’s kneeling next to the bathtub with an intense look on his handsome face, and he’s reaching for the back of my head. His fingers tangle in my already messy bun, jerking my upper body forward until our mouths collide.
Bubbles from the bath float around me as I move to get closer, tempted to drag his fully clothed ass into the water with me. As his tongue parts my lips, I reach up and grip his shirt, tugging him nearer and moaning into his mouth.
I’m becoming a sex addict, thanks to this man, but I can’t get enough of him. Not now and likely not ever.
He deepens the kiss, angling my face and holding tighter to my hair, but just when I think he’s about to take things further, he pulls back. “Fuck, Raven.”
With the rough tenor of those two words, I know something is wrong and every bit of my rising libido is dashed away. “What’s wrong?”
