Betrothed To The Mafia Lord novel Chapter 153

Luca’s POV

“Can I kiss you?”

I slowly whispered out, as soon as our little breath was separating our faces from touching. Her big eyes blinked up at me and watched as her eyes fluttered a little, and then she gave a tiny nod of her head, color dusting her cheeks at the same time. I closed the distance between us, leaning down even more until the length and height of our faces were almost on the same line, and then I moved my face towards hers, as I watched as a thousand emotions ran over her face all at once, in that particular moment.

I leaned towards her and slowly pressed my lips against hers, her lips feeling super soft and smaller than the size or my own lips. It made me remember just how we’ve kissed on our wedding, and how it had been chast as fuck. I pulled away and was surprised that her eyes remained open throughout. She didn’t strike me as the kind of person who’d be able to hold eye contact when being kissed since she couldn’t even hold my gaze strongly on a normal day, which was why I was surprised with the way our eyes had been locked throughout the few seconds which we spent with our lips locked together.

She blinked her eyes a couple of times, as I started to pull away from the front of her face to push myself to my full height. I reached out and touched her cheeks with my fingers, and I caressed her cheeks a little, feeling the soft warm ness of her cheeks against the pad of my thumb, as I moved my thumb all the way to her jaw to pull her lips open even more… and then I grasp her jaw in a firm grip and tugged her face upwards, enjoying the way her eyes had widened open unexpectedly.

And then I leaned down and jerked her face upwards for a proper kiss this time.

I moved my lips against hers, loving how soft her lips were and sucking her lower lip into my mouth after a few moments. I felt her body start to tremble against mine, which made me press my body into hers even more firmly, feeling all of her body against mine as I kissed into her mouth even deeply, but still not deepening the kiss. I tugged on her lower lips with my teeth as I pulled away and she let out a low sound instantly, her voice sounding shaky, breathy and quiet, as her eyes started to flutter open.

Her lips were still parted and she was staring into my eyes, with eyes wide and chest heaving against mine. Not wanting to overwhelm her too much because this was our first actual kiss together, but still not being able to resist that urge to take her lips in another kiss, I tightened my grip on her chin and wasn’t expecting the breathy whimper that escaped her lips at that. I doubt she even realized what she had just done, because that tiny sound which she had made had gone straight into my head and I just couldn’t help myself any longer at that moment.

I slipped my other hand off the door and wrapped it around her waist, pulling her into me and leaning down to claim her lips in a heated kiss once again. She whimpered into the kiss this time, the voice muffled in the lower part of her throat because I was currently working my mouth over hers. I licked at her lower lip a little, right before I sucked one side of her lip into my mouth. I lifted my head after a few seconds, slowly breaking the kiss off and tugging on her lower lip once again, enjoying the breathy whisper she had let slip out as soon as her tugged lower lip, which was wet from our kisses, stretched out between us until it couldn’t go any further..

I seriously doubt if she even knew just how intensely she was reacting to the kiss that wasn’t even that deep because I had completely refrained from making use of tongue this time because it was her first kiss, and I wanted it to feel good for her, but not that good. Her eyes started to flutter open after a few seconds and I grinned down at her, enjoying the way she ducked her head down as soon as I loosened my hold on her chin, making her bury her head in the middle of my chest instantly.

I moved my hand from the back of her waist and buried it into her hair, and I started to card my fingers through her hair almost immediately, loving how something that felt like a shudder rippled through her as soon as my fingers had slipped over her scalp.

I doubt if she even realized that what we had shared wasn’t even an actual kiss to begin with. And then I started to wonder how she was going to respond to my actual kiss, when she was responding to this one in this kind of way. And I couldn’t deny the fact that the thought alone was making me excited in a nasty way.

“Well, that isn't why it’s this swollen at the moment…” I started to say after a few moments and I watched in amusement as her eyes, which had slid close at a point, suddenly flew open to stare up into my face, and I continued almost immediately, just as I started to lean down a little, closing the distance between us a little.

“It’s also because I had sucked on your lower lip…really hard, that’s the reason why this pretty piece of thing…” I trailed off and tugged on her lower lip, loving how her eyes fluttered a little in response to that little tug on her lower lip, as well as the breathy whimper that slipped out and went straight into my head before I could blink.

“...that’s why this pretty thing is all swollen and reddened up even more.”

I pulled away after that, using every power in me to take a couple of steps backwards, instead of pressing her into the door even more, or better still, lifting her into my arms. I untangled my fingers from her hair and allowed my hand to drop at her side, and I watched as she lifted her hand and started to run her fingers through her hair, as she took in deep breaths into her lungs and wouldn’t for the life it hers, meet my eyes.

“Do you want to take a shower tonight?” I asked and watched as she nodded her head in response, and so I moved away from her view of the room and pointed in the direction of the bathroom even though she thought she knew where it was located, and then I encouraged. “Go on then.”
