Hers To Love (complete) Cover By @army_ss841

Chapter 45

Luca was right, a bath is just what she needed, it made every muscle and fiber feel relaxed and she added some lavender to help with that as well.  She felt like she could drift off to sleep it felt so good.  Ari was deep in thought, thinking about how different her life is now, that in 2 short weeks everything she knew was completely changed.  That most significant change being that she was now the girlfriend of a Mafioso.  Luca treated her like a queen but for anyone else never get the thought that you could double cross him or be disloyal to him; he would end you without batting an eye.  Another change was the fact she was no longer a virgin.  She found someone that she could grow old with and that she could never see herself without him in her life.  She knew that they would have this life forever so she just had to hang on and try very hard to keep their personal life separate from "the life".  

Luca stepped from the shower.  It had done the trick, no not really, Ari had done the trick and the shower was just icing on the cake.  He loved her more than he thought he was capable of loving someone.  She was so child-like and innocent in some ways but other ways, like their lovemaking, she was shedding off that innocence and had become sensual in the art of pleasing him.  He loved the way she made him feel, like he was the only one in the world that mattered.  Of course that's how it should be, but he'd known other people who's lives were not like that, not even close.  He finished drying off and wrapped himself in a towel and walked toward the lavatory.  Ari was still in the tub, her head leaning back against the side, eyes closed, looking very angelic.  He wondered if she was thinking about him.  As if she could read his mind she said, eyes still closed "I am so thinking about you".  He shook his head.  "How did you even know I was in here?" he asked perplexed.  She opened her eyes and looked at him.  "The feeling of the room changed, I could sense it I guess."  She was ogling him, staring at the simple white towel that hid a treasure trove beneath and how easy it would be to flick it off and drag him into the tub with her.  A smile spread across her face.  "Don't even think about it" he said, pretending to be stern.  She pouted.  Oh those lips, he thought.  He had to keep on tract, he hadn't told her yet but he was going back into the city.  Things regarding Morelli had come up and he was going to meet with the other families.  He walked over to the tub, standing above her, her eyes looking up at him, he bent over and kissed her, longingly and lovingly, he had to make himself stop.  "If you don't get out of that tub you will turn into a prune" he murmured against her lips.  She sighed and stood up, her body glistening from the lavender oil she had put in and now it was his turn to stare.  "See anything you like?" she asked seductively.  He shook his head and he did look stern this time.  "Ari please don't tempt me.  I'm having a hard time saying no to you."  "Then don't" she said seriously, stepping out of the tub and walking up to him.  He inhaled her scent and ran his fingers down her soft, wet arms, God he wanted her, right there on the floor.  He didn't care.  He had to make himself say no to her.  He would make it up to her, he would promise.  "Look, I didn't want to ruin the mood earlier but I am heading back to the city with Fabio and Lu tonight.  I will be back tomorrow."  She felt like someone had let the wind out of her sails.  She smiled bravely, but what she really wanted to do was throw herself on the floor and have a big fit.  She reached for his neck, pulled him down to her lips and savored his taste.  "Well then" she said "the least I can do is let you get dressed" and with that she flicked his towel off, wrapped it around herself and left him standing there naked and grinning.

Ari felt like she was losing him, a little piece at a time, every time he walked out the door.  She walked over to the couch and picked up Luca's shirt and her panties and put those back on and then walked back to the bathroom.  He had just finished shaving when she walked by with his underwear in her hand and dropped them on the lavatory and headed into the closet.  By the time he had gotten in there she had picked out his grey suite, dark navy button down dress shirt and his favorite silver tie.  She had his dress socks and his cuff links in her hands but sat them down on the dresser to take his shirt off the hanger.  She handed him the shirt and he slipped it on, he knew what she was doing and he would let her.  It made her feel better and who was he to take that away from her?  She reached up and smoothed the shoulders and down the front of his shirt, her hands skimming across his nipples.  She did well ignoring what had just happened and started to button up his shirt but before she started she leaned in and placed a most gentle kiss  right on his heart and then continued buttoning up his shirt.  She grabbed the cuff links and placed them in the slits of his shirt and locked them into place, then handed him his pants.  He slipped them on, tucked his shirt in and zipped and buttoned the pants.  She handed him his belt and put that on, picked up his socks and shoes and headed out of the closet with Ari behind him holding his jacket.
