"A few weeks?!" My voice rose an octave, "You've secretly had me watched for weeks?"
He sighed, "What is the problem, Catalina?"
I looked directly at him, and we stared at each other in silence for a few moments.
"They can't be watching me that closely. What if I were to get into trouble, like right now? Surely they are too far away to help me in time. Would they not have to be right here, beside me?"
He shook his head, "No."
"Why not?"
"Because I'm here."
"You?"
"Yes." He stared at me, his face devoid of humor.
"You're saying you can protect me? Aren’t you just the fancy, good looking, rich boss?"
He smirked, "You think I'm good looking?"
There was no point in hiding it. The man was sex on legs. I was not oblivious to the magnetism he had over women, especially after tonight. They seemed to hang breathlessly on his every word, pawing him at every opportunity, despite some having their husbands on their arm. People just seemed to flock to him. Women wanted to be with him, and men wanted to be him.
I shrugged, "Very. You're even sexier when you smile."
He stood, staring down at me. "Well, this fancy, good looking, rich boss, can protect you better than you know. I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty."
I wasn't sure if he was being serious or flirting with me. I swallowed hard. Either way he was turning me on with his intensity.
"Why do you still want to protect me after everything I've done?"
He gently lifted my chin, his fingertips sending a tingling sensation down my body. "Because I don't want to see anything bad happen to you."
I was about to ask why on earth he thought anything would, when his phone rang. He didn't take his eyes off me as he answered.
"Yes?" He quipped. I could tell by the concern that flitted across his face that it was serious.
"Okay, we're on our way." He ended the call, grabbing the mountain of bags beside him, and pushed me towards the door.
"What's going on?"
"We need to go home. Now!"
I was confused, "Why?"
"Nico's there."
I gasped, "What? Nico's awake?"
"I don't know."
I thanked Raena and the other girls who had helped me, as I was ushered out the door and into the Maserati.
Shivering against the cold night air and the coolness of the leather on my practically bare ass, I noticed Luca, despite his prior seriousness, had a hint of a smile on his face.
"Cold?"
"No." I crossed my legs and pulled the dress down as far as it would go to no avail.
