Sofia’s pov
As I climbed down the stairs, I was feeling extremely excited. I had already ensured that I looked really good tonight, and when I stepped out of the house, I instantly noticed Luca.
He was standing outside the car– which was a different one tonight, in a pretty shade of red. My heartbeat accelerated as I closed the distance between us, feeling a light shiver slide down my spine from the way his eyes raked over my entire body really slowly.
His hand curled my waist, bringing me close to him and I bit on my bottom lip while a thousand butterflies erupted inside of my belle as I stared up into his eyes and noticing the want blazing in them.
Pleasure thrummed through my entire body and If I had been wondering whether Luca was excited about tonight like I was since the start of today, the look in his eyes right now is all the confirmation I need.
“Hello, bunny.” He whispered, eyes raking over my body once again and I poked the sides of my cheeks with my tongue while staring up at him.
“You look absolutely ravenous right now.” He breathed out, eyes sliding over every inch of my body once again. I felt a grin begin to stretch out on my face.
“It’s all thanks to the dress which you got me, I love it and thank you so much for it.” I responded as Luca held the car door open for me, helping me into it.
“Nonsense, we both know the dress wouldn’t have shined the way it’s currently doing it without it being worn by you, so it needs to be super grateful to you for helping it shine so exquisitely tonight.” Luca murmured as he shut the door and walked over to the other side of the car, and from the looks of things, it seems like he’s the one driving today.
I felt my heartbeat accelerate some more when he slid into the drivers’ seat and slanted me a grin, the look in his eyes blazing as it settled on my exposed cleavage for a moment.
As he began to drive the car, his hand resched out to grasp mine and I felt my heart flutter and overfill with different emotions all at once.
The sky was already a bit dark, and curiosity, I wondered about what it was that he had planned tonight.
“Where are you taking me tonight?” I asked after some time, after being unable to quell the curiosity that had peaked its head as soon as I had sighted Luca tonight. Luca glanced away from the room for a fleeting moment to regard me with an amused look and an arched brow before facing the road once again.
“It’s a surprise, bunny.” He reminded me, making me let out a long groan.
“I know, but I’m curious!” I whined, turning around in my seat to properly stare at him. Luca breathed out a little chuckle before arching his brow at me once again.
“Want me to ruin it for me?” He asked and I let out a gasp before hastily shaking my head.
“What?! Of course not!” I exclaimed, prompting a laugh out of Luca which ranged through the car beautifully.
“But you asked me to tell you where we’re heading to tonight.” He reminded me and I let out a small huff.
“Yes, but I didn’t want you to actually tell me!” I reminded him.
“You asked like you wanted me to.” Luca continued and I scowled at him.
“That’s because I’ve been dying In curiosity since I woke up this morning, and your letters only made me more curious and excited.” I explained, watching as Luca controlled the steering wheel easily as he let out a low hum.
“Hm, were you now?”
I nodded my head a couple of times.
“I could put you out of your misery and tell you what I have planned right now.” Luca offered and I glared at him which made me snicker out another chuckle.
When we stopped at a red light, Luca’s hand tugged me to his side with a hand around my waist, face pressing into the side of my face to bite on the edge of my ear.
“Quit scowling, hm? I won’t ruin the surprise, I was only pulling your legs.” He murmured and my mouth fell open on a slow exhale when his teeth grazed my ear dangerously.
“By the way, you smell so good.” He murmured, mouth lightly ghosting the skin of my exposed throat and I let out a sharp breath this time, hand moving to hold onto his wrist, and from the corner of my eyes, I noticed that the traffic light had turned yellow.
“Luca…” I mumbled, gasping a little when he began to suck a mark into my collarbone.
“And, unsurprisingly, you look good enough to eat. I have to confess, when you walked out of the house this evening, I considered putting an end to all my plans tonight and whisking you to our bedroom, but I ended up having a change of heart.” Luca murmured against my skin, peppering small kisses into my skin as he spoke, and as his lips came in contact with my skin, so did I each breath in my throat hitch.
Before I could attempt to respond, the lights were turning green and Luca was pulling away from me to continue to drive, leaving me completely breathless and worked up.

When we arrived at the restaurant, I felt my breath catch in my throat at how exquisite the interior looked, and at how it was obvious that Luca had requested for the entire restaurant to be empty, since there was no one else in sight.
I sank into the seat, bursting with excitement while Luca went off to receive a call. When he arrived, I was shocked out of my skin when he informed me that something had come up, and that we had to leave immediately.
“I’m so sorry, I’ll make it up to you.” Luca promised countless times as he drove the car in the direction back home and my disappointment was so clogged that at one point, I stopped bothering to reassure him that it was okay, because I knew damn well that it was most definitely not okay, since I had been looking forward to this since forever.
Although, my disappointment slowly morphed into confusion when I noticed that the direction we were driving in wasn’t the way home.
Not knowing what to think anymore, I alighted the car wordlessly when it stopped, eyeing my feet as I walked. My breath caught in my throat when I glanced up and realized that we were currently standing on a brightly lit deck.
Next, my mouth fell open when I glanced at Luca in confusion to see him holding out a pair of keys to me as he closed the small distance between us. He pressed the keys into my hand as his other hand tilted my head upwards until I was staring up at him with my mouth still parted.
“Happy birthday, bunny.” He whispered as he pressed his lips against mine softly and as a shiver ran down my spine, so did it feel like my chest was about to explode, especially coupled with what Luca said next.
“And, these are the keys to a yacht. It’s your birthday gift.”
