LUCA'S POV

As I stood across the room and just watched Arsia, my mind and heart started to race. She was standing with Ares and a couple of models, she looked incomparable to the models, a thousand times better than them... I would say she is the model and not them. 

I hate how all these eyes are just ogling at her, the men were looking at her like she was food and the women were glaring at her with so much envy, Mio Dio I can't wait till she is mine! So that I can show the whole fucking world that that goddess right there belongs with me!

I cleared my thoughts and drank the last of my champagne. Then I decided to go grab Arsia to dance with me, I did not like how the men were staring at her and were even trying to approach her. I gave all of them death glares as I made my way back to her, the models noticed me approaching and suddenly all eyes were on me. 

The moment I got to the little gathering where Arsia and Ares were, the models started to throw themselves at me one by one, all so sexually. I pretty much just ignored them and let Ares know that I was taking Arsia away for a while. Ares nodded at me to acknowledge that she understood, then I put out my hand towards Arsia.

" Please dance with me beautiful! " I said to Arsia offering her a cheeky wink and smirk.

That made her whole face fluster instantly and then she took my hand. The models there looked so angry at that little situation, yet the highest they could do was throw glares at Arsia. I held her waist and led her to the dance floor, the moment we got to the center she put her hand on my shoulder and I pulled her as close to me as I could.

" I couldn't just stand across the room and stare at you from far, you look too angelic," I whispered in her ear, I could see the reaction she had from me being so close to her, I loved every single bit of it.

" Is that why you asked me to dance with you? " she whispered back.

The feeling of her breath so close to my neck had my heart beating fasting than a drum. It made me want to pull her closer completely into me.

" You can add that as a reason. I just couldn't stand how the men had their eyes all over you," I whispered to her as I caressed the open part of her back.

"And is that a problem, why do you care?" She teased and bit her bottom lip.

" Well, you see... I actually do care. And the problem is that I can't seem to get you out of my mind, Miss Smith! You are an extraordinary woman! " I admitted honestly.

She looked at me shocked by my reply, I don't think she was expecting me to be that honest.

"You are mysteriously extraordinary yourself, Mr. Mariano, " she said as she blushed.

"Mhmm, what is so mysterious about me?" I asked wanting to actually know furthermore.

" The fact that I cannot read you or tell how you feel, and I am very good at reading people... but you on the other hand... hmmm, " She teased confidently.

" Well you can ask me how I feel you know... and plus, I am telling you how I feel right now! I cannot seem to keep you out of my head, and I do not even plan to!" I declared. 

" Well that answers my question," she giggled trying to hide her flustered face.

"Do you think of me Arsia?... Do you?" I asked her confidently.
