Betrothed To The Mafia Lord

Chapter 165

Luca’s POV

After spending over five hours at the wedding, Sofia and I were finally leaning for home. I bid Travis

goodbye after exchanging contacts and promising each other to hang out in a few days, we finally went

both ways. I was pleased that Sofia had been able to hit it off with Kayla, I’ve always wondered how

she copes at home, being all by herself and having the same company every day after day, but at least

now, hopefully she’d be able to hit it off with Kayla online… and if they do, that’s the only thing that’s

going to determine if their friendship is going to grow into something meaningful, or if it’s just going to

die down after tonight.

Well. Time’s going to tell.

I breathed out a small sigh and glanced sideways and my eyes drank in Sofia in all her glory, and all I

wanted to do at the moment, is to pull her over my thighs and take her lips in a deep kiss. I’ve been

dying to take her lips in a deep kiss after she had dressed up tonight and applied on a kind of lipgloss

that had looked really pretty, and I had wanted to know how that kind of lipgloss tasted, I had wanted to

know how it tasted so bad, I had wanted to taste if off her lips.

I averted my gaze and focused my gaze on my fingers as the car drove past lots of large buildings

really fast. Sodiq was currently doing nothing, all she was doing was staring straight ahead at the other

chairs opposite her, with her fingers moving around on her thighs. I didn’t want to move closer to get

abs pull her into my arms, or to reach out and take her hand in mine to stop her From twisting them

over and over again – but like I had said before, I didn’t want to overwhelm her, because I had a feeling

that I was already overwhelming her enough, and that she deserved to have some alone time to herself

beside me, and not need me bring all over her, just because we’ve started to grow closer and had

started to exchange kisses.

I lifted my hand up and carded it through my curls, puffing out a deep breath and leaning back against

the backrest of my seat, as the breath eased out of my lungs slowly. I turned my head sideways and

caught Sofia staring at me, with her teeth worrying over her lower lip, as her blue eyes blinked down at

me.

I stared at her pointedly for a few seconds before reaching my hand out and using it to push her hair

out of her face, and I watched as she lowered her eyes as soon as my fingers had made contact with

her smooth face.

Lord, she was so damn beautiful, and once again, her eyes looked really good this way. It wasn’t like

she wasn’t beautiful on a normal day with completely bare face, because she was usually drop dead

gorgeous on those days, but tonight, with her dress, the makeup, and herself in particular, it seemed

like it was all getting to my head than I’d have ever brought myself to predict.

I dragged my fingers over yer cheeks and moved it towards her hair, touching another strand of hair

behind her ear once again.

“What’s wrong?” I asked softly and I watched as her eyes fluttered, right before she shook her head

after a few moments. I contemplated on what to do or say for a few seconds, before finally settling on

the fact that I just wanted us to remain in silence. And so I snaked my hand around her neck and

tugged her towards me, and she dropped over my chest, with her eyes which had widened for a

moment, staring into my eyes as soon as the top of her body almost splayed over my chest and arm.

I held her that way and dragged my eyes off her face, staring straight up into the roof of the car,

because sterling into Sofia’s face and her lips wasn’t helping my matters one bit, it was only marking

matters worse in my head, and it was also making it harder for me to hold myself back from taking her

lips in a kiss which would make her toes curl with pleasure.

After about ten minutes more, the car finally arrived home and some moments later, the gates slid open

and the car drove into the compound.

The door of the car got pulled open and by then, we were both sitting straight in our seats once again

with a little bit of space beside us. As soon as the driver had pulled the door open, I alighted the car

first, and I waited at the door way and stretched my hand out for her, in which she accepted before

alighting the car as well. We started to make our way up the few stairs and waited beside the door for

me to fish the keys out.

As soon as I had gotten the door open, we both made our way into the house and I pushed and locked

the door carefully instantly. I turned my head around to see Sofia crouched down while she tried to

unbuckle her sandals.

“Your legs are starting to hurt?” I asked almost immediately after watching her completely get the first

one off her foot. She glanced up and smiled sheepishly at me before giving a nod of her head.

“I’m not really used to walking or standing in high heels for so long, that’s why.” She explained after a

moment, and as soon as she was done speaking, she was done with the second sandal and she

pushed herself up to her feet.

She had reduced in height drastically now that the skies were off her feet and I wanted to do nothing

than to lift her up into my arms because she was just so freaking cute this way.

“Would you love to have a drink with me tonight?” I asked and started to regret asking her that question

instantly because I didn’t know how I was going to even control myself around her if I took actual

alcohol now that I was back at home and alone with her. But I couldn’t bring myself to take back the

invitation when Sofia’s was already staring up at me with a wild smile, as she echoed out.

“Really? Yes I will.” She gushed out, and I knew there was no going back from there. I was just going to

try to bit do anything stupid tonight. All I was going to be doing was to serve her a drink and once we

were both done, we’d both head upstairs to take a shower and fall asleep, and that was that.

It can’t be that hard, now can it?

I nodded my head at her before offering my hand to her, and it pleased me a lot when she placed her

smaller hand in mine, with a bright smile still on her face.

I started to tug her through the hallways, past the sitting room and some other doors, until we were

heaving into the empty kitchen, and I flicked the lights on as soon as we had made our way into it.

The kitchen was currently empty like I had expected it to be. I mean, it was some minutes after twelve

in the morning at the moment, and I nodded as sure the people here in the house were going to be fast

asleep at the moment.

We made our way towards the counter and I pulled her backwards when she made to hop on one of

the high chairs. She turned her gaze around to stare at me questioningly and I shook my head at her

before tugging her to the far end of the counter where no chairs were arranged around. I wrapped my

hand around her waist and lifted her up, before placing her on top of the counter.

She hasn’t been expecting that at all because she had yelped for a second and her hand had shot out

to grip the sides of my shoulders for a moment, and now that she was sitting comfortably on top of the

counter, with her hands on either sides of my shoulders, and our eyes staring into each other’s, my

eyes kept dropping towards her lips and back to her eyes only to return to her lips once again.

I wanted to kiss her so badly, and I was a hundred percent sure I wouldn’t be considering kissing her

anymore tonight, if it wasn’t for the fact that she was also very much hungry for the kiss. I doubt if she

even realized what it was that she was doing at the moment, but her head was tilted up a little, and her

eyes were closed, with lips parted, as her hands were gripping the sides of my shoulders hard.

I shook my head a little to get the cloud of lust off my head and eyes, and then I took a step away from

her, making her hands slip off my shoulders, just as her eyes flew open in fright.

“Don’t leave me up here, I don’t want to fall off.” She started to speak almost instantly, her hands

moving to grip the edge of the counter, panic visible on her pretty face.

I cracked a grin at that right before I started to shake my head a little. “You aren’t going to fall, bunny.” I Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

said to her, the nickname rolling off my tongue smoothly this time and I watched as her eyes flickered,

towards the flours and upwards to stare into my face in a fleeting second.

She blinked once, before shifting backwards on the counter until she wasn’t perched on the very edge

of the counter anymore.
