Betrothed To The Mafia Lord novel Chapter 208

Sofia’s POV

“Really?” I whispered in a small voice and blinked once, wiping the tears that were threatening to spill, back into the back of my throat as I continued. “You actually love listening to me speak?” I continued, blinking up at him.

“Of course, bunny.” He said to me after a few moments and I pushed myself against his body even more in the next second, wanting to feel more of his hard and big body against my softer and smaller one.

“I had no idea.” I confused in a small voice and smiled a little, feeling my smile wobble a little as a tear was still threatening to slide down my cheeks from my stinging eyes.

“Now, you do. Don’t you?” He asked after a few moments and I nodded my head once at him almost immediately.

“I do.” I answered in a small voice, feeling my hands start to tremble against his suit jacket where my hands were currently pressed against.

He leaned down and pressed his lips against my forehead and my eyes fluttered close as I felt his soft lips drag over the skin of my forehead. There was just something really intimate about him kissing my forehead and it always makes me shiver each time he does it.

Perhaps it was because I never got this kind of affection shown to me while growing up. My parents never gave me forehead kisses and there was only so much my little brother could do. I shivered once again as I felt him tilt my head up even further, just as his lips started to drag over my left cheek, over the exact line where a tear slipped over my cheeks, a few seconds later.

I could feel so many emotions start to choke me right from the insides and I couldn’t help it, feeling a small tear start to slip out from my eyes in the next second. I blinked back the tears as fast as I could, trying my best to not let it slip out, but it ended up skipping out anyways, sliding down my right cheeks ever so slowly.

“Bunny?” Luca called out in a low voice and I blinked my eyes open a little to stare up at him, through watery eyes and I knew he could see just how the tears were currently swimming in the depths of my eyes at this very moment.

“Don’t cry anymore, alright?” He suggested and I nodded my head once and breathed out a small huff.

“I’m trying not to, the tears just wouldn’t go back to wherever it is that they came from.” I said to Luca in a small voice and I watched as his face stretched out into a small smile that made my inside start to flutter in the very next moment.

“Try harder for me, alright? I don’t like watching you cry.” He continued and I felt my chest start to tighten up once again. I bit on my lower lip to stop it from wobbling as I tried to blink the rest of my tears back.

“There there, it’s all better now. I didn’t get you those things to make you cry, I did it to make you happy.” He informed me and I squeezed his suit jacket in my grips in the next moment before starting to reply to him.

“I was happy… I mean, I still am.” I replied before breathing out a small bashful laugh. “I just couldn’t help the tears.” I breathed out with a small color flooding my cheeks instantly.

“Sure you couldn’t.” He hummed and I narrowed my eyes at him instantly.

“I’m serious, I couldn’t control it one bit.” I pouted.

“I believe you, bunny. I hope my gifts make you happy and I hope you still enjoy reading the way you said you once used to do before.” He started to speak once again, shifting into a serious mood almost in the blink of an eye.

“You didn’t give me a welcome kiss.” He pointed out and I felt heat start to pulse in my stomach once again. I honestly did want to kiss him at the moment as well.

“That’s because I can’t reach your face.” I said to him after a few seconds, shocking him as well as myself. And he grinned down at me in a way that made me want to please him with everything in me.

He leaned down until his lips were hovering above mine and I stretched my hands up to wrap them around his really wide shoulders, and then without thinking, I started to try to climb up his body by jumping off the ground until one of my legs was wrapped around his waist.

“Whoa… whoa, slow down, I had no idea we were doing it this way.” Luca started to say with a small laugh that rumbled out of his chest, as he steadied me with hands wrapping around my hips and lifted me way higher until both my legs were wrapped around his waist and we were both at eye level. I was even a little bit higher than his face level at the moment and so I stared down at him and grinned a little.

“This works for me, after all, I really like having you in my arms.” He pointed out and tightened his hold on my thighs. I wrapped my two hands around his face, feeling the light scruff of his beard drag against the insides of my palm in a really good way as I leaned forward and pressed my lips against his, with both our eyes open.

His lips brushing against mine sent a low burning heat straight into my body, and that particular single flame started to burn instantly, slowly heating up before I could blink.

“Give me an actual kiss, bunny.” He called out against my lips and I sucked in a deep breath as I proceeded to do what he had ordered me to, allowing my eyes to slide shut as I tentatively moved my lips against him, feeling our lips slot imperfectly at first. He tilted his head instantly, making our lips slot perfectly and I parted my lips a little to draw his lower lip into my mouth tne way he used to do to me, and it made me shudder hard against his body when he let out a small groan.

I didn’t know what happened next, just that after a few seconds, I felt the air move around my body and before I could blink my eyes open, my back was pressing into a wall and Luca’s firm body was caging me against the particular wall, and he took over the kiss in an instant, taking control of it and leading it in a way that drove me completely crazy.
