Our eyes meet when I cradle Luca’s cheek. “If we approach them openly and honestly, they’ll accept us being together.”
“And if they don’t?”
“We gave them a chance, which is more than they gave us.”
Luca turns his head to brush a fervent kiss over my palm. “See why I need you? Because you’re always seeing the good in others. It’s what I love most about you. Left to my own devices, I'd have given everyone a piece of my mind and ruined everything.”
Life without the love of my life is unthinkable. “Promise me we’ll always be open with each other, no matter what.”
He covers my hand with his and looks into my eyes. “I promise.”
We share a lingering kiss, sealing our commitment to truth and trust. Soon, the kiss turns possessive, leaving me breathless.
“I want more than a kiss, but that’ll have to wait till later,” he says.
“Not too much later,” I tell him as a thrill rushes through me. “Let’s go home.”
Luca grins. My heart is fit to burst with joy.
It’s our first Christmas, but my best Christmas. It doesn't matter if it's bittersweet as long as we're together.
We may have lost precious years we could have spent loving each other, but nothing will tear us apart now.
If my life were to start over today and I were to spend the rest of it with him, I’d consider myself the luckiest woman alive.
Chapter13
Luca
Audrey means everything to me. She is more precious than the most priceless work of art. I love her more than the moon loves the stars, and the sun loves the sky. She is that special.
Each new day, my love for her only grows stronger—the thought leaves me awestruck.
I'm determined to become a better man for her, providing anything she needs and giving her all she desires. If I were a child, I'd love her more than Christmas.
Waking up to find her beside me this morning is the greatest gift. Sunlight streams into the bedroom, bathing Audrey's sleeping form in a golden glow.
I kiss her shoulder softly before slipping out to prepare a special breakfast—pancakes drizzled with syrup and topped with berries—a tray of mimosas we can enjoy together, cozy in bed.
Maybe I'm trying to ease my guilt at being apart from her family today.
When I return, Audrey stirs, smiling at the sight. “You know how to make Christmas morning special.”
We share the romantic breakfast in bed, playfully feeding each other between sips of mimosa.
“Mmm, you got a little syrup on your neck.”
I lean in to lick the syrup off, savoring the sweet flavor on her soft skin.
My lips trail down the column of her throat. “You're delicious. I could do this all day.”
“So are you,” she replies in a sultry voice, her eyes shining with desire.
Her tongue traces my lips, making my cock throb with need. My hands sweep up her back.
Audrey shivers with pleasure. My lips brush against hers, and every inch of me hums with desire. She runs her fingers along my back, over my ass, and reaches down to stroke me.
My cock throbs, precum dripping from the tip. Her touch only makes me harder.
