But now, the thought disgusts me.
My heart lies with Rosa. I can’t even picture myself with another woman. Marrying Maria, and actually being in a relationship with her, are two different things.I just can’t bring myself to do it.
“Maria, nice to meet you.” Keller shakes her hand with a tight-lipped smile. He drops it quickly and steps back to drape his arm around his wife, who is now by his side scowling at Maria.
They’re on their best behavior tonight. As are Maddie and Sienna.
Grayson nudges himself to the edge of the booth as she turns to him.
“Grayson, pleasure to finally meet you.” She holds out her hand for a moment, inviting the handshake that never happens.
He just nods to her, keeping his distance and pulling Maddie flush against his chest, his hands protectively placed on her bump.
“I’ve heard so much about you both.”The way the lies roll off her tongue is almost impressive. I’ve never spoken about any of my family to her. I didn’t even want to do this tonight, but Maria insisted on meeting them.
My men both glance at me and I roll my eyes.
“Luca, darling. Go fetch me a champagne, I’m dying of thirst here. But I need a straw.” She points to her extremely plump and shiny lips.
“Yep. Gladly.”Get me the fuck away from this.
Sliding out of the booth, I head towards the bar and take a sigh of relief. “Two bottles of champagne and a straw please,” I tell the bartender.
Crossing one ankle over the other, I lean on the bar, and I look out over the crowd as the End Zone starts to fill up. Like always, it’s hopping. A credit to Keller’s hard work. The bartender coughs behind me, and I turn to grab the bottles and glasses on the tray.
Why the fuck am I doing this?
As I turn to head back towards the VIP area, the air starts to fizzle around me and my heart starts hammering.
My Rosa.She’s here.
I can’t move, my eyes are locked on her. Her jet-black hair cascades down her slim frame all the way down to her waist. She is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever laid eyes on. That figure-hugging black dress rests just above her knees. She has that class about her, unlike my fiancé. Rosa is a natural beauty with her plump red lips and dark lashes.
With every sensuous step she takes towards me, my hands start to go clammy. She crosses her arms over her stomach with delicate grace, which makes my cock twitch, knowing those little breathy moans she would make when I’d suck on her nipples.
“Luca!” Frankie announces as they reach me. But I can’t take my eyes off Rosa, who is doing anything to avoid looking at me.
“Frankie,” I greet him and glance towards the other girl, I’m assuming must be Eva. She’s very similar to Rosa in facial features, just a bit taller and with deep auburn hair.
The three of them stand before me, and Frankie reaches over and grabs a bottle of champagne from the tray, popping it and taking a sip. “Oh, we are celebrating tonight!” he chuckles.
“Something like that,” I mutter, snapping my attention back to Rosa, who’s now picking at her red nails.
“You already know Rosa.” Frankie raises an eyebrow with a small smirk.
“This is Eva.” He nods to Rosa’s younger sister, who gives me a bright grin before nudging her sister.
“Nice to finally meet you, Eva.” I smile before turning my attention back to the woman who owns my heart.
She tips her head up, and her dark eyes bore into mine. I’ve dreamt every night for months that she was happy and carefree without me. But that pain, that darkness, is still there resting behind them.
“Hello, Rosa.”My throat feels as if it’s on fire, and I’m choking the words out.
She gives me a tight-lipped smile. “Luca, good to see you.” I can’t help but notice the slight shake in her voice.
And it guts me.
“I need a drink. Let’s go,” Frankie says, turning on his heel and striding towards the VIP area. Leaving me with the sisters, both of which probably hate me.
