God definitely was a man, if this is the kind of shit he puts women through.
I groan as I roll onto all fours and cat stretch, wiggling my ass in the air and try to breathe out the pain by letting little puffs of air out of my nose.
There is a thud on the floor. I lean forward and poke my head under my arms to look. Luca leans against the doorframe, an overnight bag by his feet.
His eyes are glued firmly to my ass, wiggling up in the air.
A smirk creeps up on one side of his lips. “Everything okay in here, Rosa?”
Damn, I’ve missed that husky voice of his.
“All fine. Just some stupid stomach cramps. I’ve heard yoga stretches can relieve muscle tension. This is the only one I know.”I lean forward slightly.
“Don’t stop on my account,”he growls.
I let out a sigh of relief, this is actually working.
He walks towards me and my heart rate picks up. I look up, resting on my elbows, getting a deep stretch in my lower abs. It feels so damn good a moan escapes my lips.
My eyes go wide when I realize it isn’t his gym bag. It’s luggage.“Are you going away?”
He stays quiet for a moment, slipping his hands into his pockets.“Italy.”
“Oh, nice.”Jealousy pangs my throat. He didn’t ask me to go.
“I’ll only be gone a couple of days. I have to do everything I can to find Maddie.”The pain behind his eyes is evident in the dark circles surrounding them.
I can’t fault him for his dedication to his family.
“I understand.” It hurts, but I swallow it down.
His jaw clenches as he looks down at me. “I wanted to say goodbye before I left.”
I suck in a lungful of air, my body tingling as he steps closer to the edge of the bed.
I sit back, resting on my heels, and I roll my shoulders.“Is there anyone you trust who can visit me? I’m desperately craving some form of human interaction. I don’t think I’ve ever gone this long alone without surrounding myself with people.”
To avoid the turmoil in my own head.I’m not ready to see anyone in my old life yet. It’s not safe out there, anyway.
The bed dips as he sits next to me. “I can arrange something.”
“Thank you!” I launch myself at him and wrap my arms around his neck. His body vibrates against mine when he laughs.
My tits press into his chest. Fuck, even they hurt like hell today.
“I kind of missed you,” I whisper.
He rubs his hand along my back and rests his head against the top of mine.
“Me too,” he mockingly whispers. “Kind of.”
He sighs and wraps an arm around me, his hand splaying over my stomach, making little circles on my skin with his thumb. I squeeze my thighs together as heat builds in my core.
I close my eyes; I shouldn’t feel this.He’s just being nice. He feels sorry for you, Rosa!
Pain radiates from my uterus. I jab my hands into my stomach and press my face flush against his chest, letting out a groan.
“God, I hate this,” I whine.
