Chapter 75
Luca’s POV
I wasted no time returning the kiss. I grabbed the back of her neck with one hand and gripped her lower back with the other, pulling all of her body flush with mine. Mara grasped at my chest and tugged my hair, pulling my head closer to her. Our tongues swiped across each others and I almost lost it. I grabbed her thighs and hoisted her up. I braced her gently against the wall.
“Does it hurt, bambina?”, I asked, pulling away and looking over her face. “No”, she answered softly, leaning back in to kiss me. I gladly accepted her kiss and leaned into her body. Our kisses were slow, as our lips molded together. We were savoring this moment, memorizing each others’s movements, texture and taste. After almost fifteen minutes of our mouths not disconnecting, I broke the kiss to continue them down her neck.
Marabella moaned as her grip in my hair tightened. “Marabella, fanculo (fuck). If I don’t stop now, I won’t be able to”, I uttered, placing another kiss on her silky flesh. Her placed her hands on the side of my neck and pushed slightly. I pulled back and looked at her beautifully exhausted face. “I’m hungry now”, she whispered.
I chuckled and kissed her softly, as I reached over and turned the shower off. I sat her down outside of the shower and grabbed us both some towels.Many sentences in this chapter have been removed because you are not reading them on * . I wrapped my towel around my waist, before approaching Mara with her towel. I dried her hair, then her body. I removed the plastic wrap from her wounds and proceeded to check her body for splinters once again.
My fingers grazed over her skin carefully as I inspected every inch of her. “You are too good to me”, she whispered, as I helped her slip her panties and my shirt on her. “You deserve it, sweetheart”, I whispered, caressing her cheek. Mara snuggled her face into my hand, enjoying the touch.
I grabbed the hair brush and faced Mara. “Turn around, amore, so that I can brush that beautiful hair”, I grinned. The most precious smile spread across her lips as she turned her back to me. I gently brushed through her hair, taking extra care by her wound. When I was finished, I grabbed the alcohol pads and cleaned around her wounds like I was instructed.
When we walked out of the bathroom one of the handmaids was placing a tray on the bedside table. Her eyes immediately snapped up and traveled over my half-naked body. Her face blushed, sending fury through my veins. Mara stepped infront of me blocking the maid’s view. The maid seemed to break out of her trance as she looked at Marabella. I wrapped my arms around Mara, hiding more of my body.
“Mrs. Barello, I brought dinner as instructed. Do you need anything else?”, the maid asked. “No, Brianna. That will be all. Thank you. You may leave now”, Mara commanded. “Oh, yes ma’am”, the maid said, quickly leaving the room. Mara turned around and faced me, her eyes trailing up and down my body. “I’ll go put some pants on”, I uttered, kissing her forehead, and heading back into the bathroom towards the closet. I slipped on a pair of black sweatpants and left my chest bare.
When I walked back into the room, Marabella was propped up on the bed with her plate in her lap and my plate next to her. Her eyes trailed down my chest as she bit her lip and laid her head back lazily on the headboard. When her eyes trailed back up and met mine, she blushed and looked away. I walked up to her side of the bed and placed my hands on either side of her hips, caging her in place.
She gasped as she grabbed onto my forearms and tried to turn her head towards me. My face in her neck prevented her from doing so, though. I ran my nose up her flesh. “Do you like what you see, gattina? Because, it’s all yours, amore. To look at, to touch, to admire”, I purred in her ear. I placed a sensual kiss against her neck. Mara gulped, her hand slid up my arm to my neck and into my hair. She tugged my hair slightly, making my head fall back, and then burried her face into my neck.
Her soft lips slid across my skin, making a deep moan slip passed my lips. Her neck kisses were slower and softer than mine, but fuck, they felt amaxing. “Bambina, your lips feel too good against my skin”, I uttered, resting my head on her shoulder. Her mouth came up to my ear, “Now you know how I feel, when your lips touch my skin”, she said breathlessly. She hesitated like she didn’t want to admit that, but I’m glad she did. I pulled the neckline of her shirt slightly and placed a deep kiss to the dip where her shoulder and neck meet.
She gasped and tugged my hair. “Luca”, she whined. “I’m sorry, amore. I had to check and make sure you weren’t lying to me”, I chuckled “But, I wasn’t lying”, her voice was small and sounded hurt. “Aww, bambina. I just wanted to feel you on my lips”, I whispered, kissing her cheek. I tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, then kissed her nose. “Eat, baby girl, then we will sleep”, I instructed gently.
