Destined

Chapter 18 ~ Making It Real

Chapter 18

She gasped. She felt her ripped dress slide down her body. Cool air touched her skin. She looked down on herself and what her eyes saw confirmed what she felt. She was clad only in her lingerie. She looked up and found Luca staring intensely at her.

"I tried so hard to be patient with you," he said taking one step closer. "But you pushed me beyond my limit tonight with what you did."

He was looking at her differently. There was a light in his eyes that she'd never seen before. He was scaring her. She raised her arms to try to cover her body. She saw him took another step and she made one step backward.

"What would it take to make you understand that I was not acting? I brought you to my home and introduced you to my family as my fiancée. I showed everyone that you are mine. Even my cousin knew I was not to be trifled with. But you've done so tonight."

"Luca...," she didn't know what to say or do. She was too afraid to talk and that fear reflected in her eyes.

"Yes, you should well fear me. You should have thought of that before you cheated on me."

"I was not cheating!" She shouted. Fear or not, she was not going to stand here and be hurled at by such a ridiculous accusation.

"Yes, you cheated! You went behind my back. You lied to me just to meet him. Isn't that cheating?"

"Not if I am single," she retorted.

"Single? Is there any doubt as to what we are?"

"Why, what are we, Luca?"

"You are my fiancée for Pete's sake! Hasn't that sunk in yet?"

"Yes, but in name only. What we have is but a mere business arrangement."

"Business arrangement, huh? Are you really that naive? That was just an excuse to convince you to go with me to Greece. I thought showing you and telling you about that framed drawing in my home office would have made you realized that by now."

"What?" She asked confused.

"Can't you see, baby? I love you. I've loved you for years. And that love intensifies when I finally saw you in person. Everything that have happened since we met was not acting. It was as real for me as my feelings for you."

"You love me?" She asked, forgetting her state of undress; not believing what she was hearing. Her heart was beating so fast she had difficulty hearing his words.

"I'm done talking, baby," he said, his eyes looking at her with clear intent.

He stalked her until she felt the bedroom wall at her back. He grabbed her hands and held them above her head. Her breath hitched as she felt his hot breath at the side of her neck, his mouth slowly moving up her lips kissing her with fervor. It did not take long for her to participate. He moaned with triumph as he felt her hands go limp, void of any resistance. Their kiss heated up and he slowly let go of her hands. They automatically circled his neck as he pushed her further up the wall without breaking their kiss.

She felt the snap of her bra and Luca tossed it behind him. She felt his fingers expertly trailing down her body as his mouth slowly left her lips, following the path of his fingers. His left hand closed over one breast at the same time she felt his lips on her other breast. She felt electrical waves of pleasure spreading over her body as he gently sucked her nipples, giving both equal attention.

"Luca ...," she moaned his name, her hands holding his head in place.

"Shh, baby. I told you. I'm done talking." He warned her.
