Sofia’s pov
The first thing I noticed as soon as I blinked my eyes open, was Luca’s eyes staring into mine, with different emotions running through it. He had his head pillowed a few inches away from my face, and when his eyes trailed down my body, was when the entire memory of last rushed into my head.
I blinked a couple of times, biting on my bottom lip to stop the smile that was threatening to stretch out on my face. As if on cue, the sides of Luca’s lips curled up in a soft smile, and the image of him right now, smiling at me looking drop dead gorgeous with his sexy bed hair, tugged at my stomach a little.
“How are you?” Luca asked, voice soft and I poked at the inside of my cheeks for a moment before responding.
“I feel really good.” I responded homesly, Luca let out a low hum and inched closer to me, when my breath catch in my throat when his hand lightly traced the curve of my throat and collarbone with his eyes taking every expression on my face in.
“Good, good?” He asked and I nodded my head as I reached out to wrap my hand around his wrist, allowing my eyes to slide close when he leaned forward to press a kiss into my throat.
“So… how was last night?” He asked and instantly, a heated flushed settled in my cheeks, and I tried to avoid his gaze, although it was pretty much impossible to do that with our current proximity.
“It was… okay.” I responded with what I’d like to term a nonchalant shrug, and telling from the snort that left Luca’s lips right now, it was obvious he knew I was literally bluffing.
The sex had been something else entirely.
It had turned out way better than I had expected. I used to think it was exaggerated in the books, and also by Kayla who tends to exaggerate a lot, but last night, I was proven wrong.
The sex had been so, so good, and so intense.
Although, it had hurt, but the pleasure overshadowed the hurt real quick, which I had been extremely thankful for.
“Oh, yeah? Just ‘okay’?” Luca teased and I let out a loud whine, burying my face in his throat as I listened to a chuckle vibrated out of him in amusement.
“It’s embarrassing, don’t ask me about it.” I mumbled against his throat as I felt his arm slid beneath my bare body to tug me against him even more.
“You’re cute when you get embarrassed, bunny.” Luca continued as his hand stroked my hair and I let out a loud groan once again.
When Luca pulled me out of his throat with his grip on my hair, there was nothing but seriousness on his face as he spoke.
“But, it was good for you, right? I didn’t force you or anything?”
My heartbeat accelerated for a moment as I cupped his face in my hand, tugging his head downwards for a kiss. When we broke apart, amusement danced in his eyes.
“You didn’t, I wanted it so much, did you forget that?” I asked after a few seconds and Luca shook his head, and then he rolled out of the bed, picking me off the bed as he rose to his feet.
“Of course I didn’t forget how desperate you were, it was the hottest thing ever. Next time I’m going to make you beg for it before you get it, hm?” He paused for a moment as he slid me to my feet, steadying me instantly because i wobbled due to the weakness in my feet, right before a wince crossed my face on feeling the spot between my legs sting when I moved a little, and that made a dark look cross Luca’s face.
“I didnt forget, I just wanted you to say it.” He echoed once again and I shoved him, lips jutted out– watching how he staggered a little, obviously on purpose. I rolled my eyes and was heading towards the restroom when a sentence from Luca made me pause.
“The limp is cute, by the way! Makes you look more like an actual bunny.”
With a long but fond sigh, I rolled my eyes and shot him a glare before slamming the restroom door shut.

After taking a shower and dressing in warm, sunny clothes which Luca had apparently gotten while planning this entire thing, I accompanied Luca to the front of the beach, where food was being laid out on a blanket, which appeared extremely cozy.
“Is that ours?” I asked, bouncing with excitement a little while watching as Luca nodded his head at me before waving the workers off who bowed respectfully to Luca and I.
And so, we had breakfast together, right there on the beach, and I felt extremely happy and content while staring at Luca with the sun on his face and eyes gleaming each time our eyes met.
After breakfast, Luca and I headed back into the house, and I wasn’t surprised when Luca said it belonged to him. After we arrived got to the bedroom, he handed me a pack of pills.
Post pills.
He framed my face, thumb stroking my cheeks as he spoke.
“I know we’ve never spoken about children yet, and I wasn’t sure if you’re ready or interested in having children yet– so, in order to avoid accidents, even though I pulled out, I made sure to pick up a pack of these bad boys.” His voice was soft as he spoke, eyes sincere and I searched around his eyes for a moment, while it felt like my heart was about to burst out of my chest at the thoughtfulness of this gesture.
“Y- you don’t mind that I might not be ready for children yet?” I asked while blinking up at him in bewilderment and when Luca shook his head, I automatically felt tears brimming in my eyes.
“What’s wrong?” He whispered as he thumbed my tears away, eyes filled with concern. I sniffed and hastily shook my head while responding.
“What? Nothing’s wrong, nothing is. I just feel very touched, you know? You turned out to be a far cry from what I expected when I got married to you, and that’s still something that blows my mind every once in a while.” I paused and let out a shaky breath.
“I grew up with women being walked over all my life, being told what to do and what not to do with their bodies, and you being considerate enough –”
“It’s not considerate, it’s what a sane person is supposed to do.” Luca cuts in gently and I let out a watery chuckle.
“Hence the rest of the men in the mafia are most definitely not sane.” I whispered and I watched as Luca chuckled a little.
“Absolutely, they’re all mad men.”
