JADE
I woke up with a yawn, stretching my hands lazily on the bed. I had slept way too early yesterday.
How could I not? I was too petrified to speak to Luciano especially after discovering that horrific note placed on his desk.
And Luciano did not notice either because immediately after dinner, he left for his study room.
My eyes wandered towards Luciano’s sleeping profile on the bed.
When did he join me on the bed? I guess I must have really slept off. Luciano slept so soundly, like he did not even have a single worry in the world.
There were no worried lines etched across his temples and his breathing was calm and soothing. I found it hard to believe that some one was after his life.
Has the police being informed about this threat too? I will have to speak to him concerning this issue.
I heaved a deep sigh and stared at Luciano the more.
This man was truly very handsome. I observed his dark silky hairs which were ruffled up, my hands gradually reached for his hair strands at its own accord and I brushed them off his face, allowing me to fully feed my eyes on his entire facial structure.
His hairs had the scent of larvenda which filled my nostrils with their sweet odour.
‘I really need to know the hair shampoo he uses’ I thought to myself with a smile etched on my face.
His jaw was well defined and his cheekbone was high. His lashes were extremely long and underneath those lashes of his peaked two blue orbs that held passion and unspoken desires.
My fingers itched to trail around his shirtless torso. I was lying next to a greek god and I was feeling fucking shy.
Giving into the temptation, my hands skimmed along his torso gently, perfectly trailing around his chiseled abs and chest so as not to arouse him from his slumber.
As I smiled while doing so, Luciano’s eyes suddenly flew open causing me to draw back my hands in an instant.
“Why did you stop wife?” He huskily murmured.
I felt so embarrassed and tongue tied. I had no replies to give. He just caught me drooling over him like the pervert that I am.
“Uh-I-I was just brushing some of y-your hairs off y-your face th-that is all” I stuttered and replied with the first idea that came to my mind.
Luciano chuckled, “You are such a terrible liar. Whoever taught you how to lie?”
My face went flushed with embarrassment and had an ample shade of pink permeating over it.
“How do you know that I am lying?” I asked him, trying to mask a stoic face.
“It shows all over your face principessa. You are a terrible liar and I advise you never to lie again” Luciano lightly needled me.
My face disconcerted at his remark and I attempted to shift back when he suddenly held on to my arm to my sheer surprise. “If you want to touch me wife, do it well. Like this” Luciano smirked before pulling me closer and hauling me against his sculptured abs.
“Luciano what are you doing?”
“I am showing my wife how to touch me bodly since she is always feeling so shy” he simpered, encircling his hand around my waist.
Our bodies were so perfectly aligned.
“You tempt me Jade”he throatily mumbled, his head descending for the base of my neck.
“W-what?” I whispered.
The moment his lips touched my neck, it felt like my mind was in a daze. I could not even stop him though I wanted to. All I could focus on was his soft and wet lips which softly plundered my neck with tender kisses.
His tongue stroked on my skin, forming circles around it which got me to clench my thighs tight.
My eyes closed at their own accord and I tilted my head further, giving him the full entry he needed.
“Luciano..” I airily moaned out his name as his lips trailed towards my heaving bossoms.
I was loosing my damn mind.
“I want to see more of you” Luciano trailed his lips upwards and towards my earlobe, softly biting and nibbling on it causing another shameless gasp to leave my lips.
His fingers hungrily wandered towards the hand of my night gown, pulling them down and revealing a part of my bossoms.
“Luciano…” I flew my eyes open at once to meet his seducing features.
“Don’t you like it?” He pressed his lips in the space between my breasts.
“Y-you promised not t-to have sex…” I could not even make a complete sentence.
“I actually never promised that bella” his head ascended to face mine with a derogatory smirk on his handsome face.
“You did on the night of our wedding…” I protested back.
“I did not Jade” he laughed, flopping his head back. “I did not even give a decision concerning your own decision not to consummate our marriage. I never said I won’t have sex with you” he winked lustfully, rolling his tongue against his bottom lip.
He was right. The thought then clicked to me. He never said he would not have sex with me. Even in the garden and when he got injured. He never made such a promise to me. I just assumed it.
“You look so fucking scared” he laughed even harder than before. “Relax Jade. Do you think I will force myself on you?” His brows puckered up.
“You do scare me at times but I do not think you will do such” I timidly answered.
He stared at me with longing in his eyes which made me feel awkward.
Why is he staring at me like that?
Suddenly there was a slow knock on the door which chimed into our conversation.
“Come in” Luciano said to whoever was knocking but not before using the duvet to cover me properly.
I smiled at his thoughtfulness.
A maid walked in and bowed her head at us. “Buongiorno, Signora e Maestro”
I did not understand a word she said but perhaps Luciano did.
Thinking of it now, I actually do realise that Luciano is an Italian name and so is his surname. Including Raffaele, Matteo, Arturo, they were all Italian names.
And they usually spoke Italian in this house, including the staffs.
My husband is of an Italian descent? Luciano is Italian? Wow. How am I just realising this now?
“Jade are you listening?” Luciano shook me, pulling me out of my thoughts.
“I am sorry I was not. What did she say?” I truthfully replied.
Luciano beckoned for the maid to speak again.
“Mrs Gabriela is hosting a dinner for all the daughter inlaws of this house and she would love you to attend” the maid repeated what I am guessing she had earlier said.
“By what time?” I asked.
“Seven pm sharp”
“Sure. I will attend” I simply stated. “You can leave now” I added.
I noticed the worried look on Luciano’s face once the maid had left.
“What is wrong Luciano? You seem worried. You do not want me to attend?”
“Honestly yes. I do not even know why but I just feel you should not”
“Probably because Aurora and Mariposa will be there and they will definitely try to create a ruckus with me” I sighed, straightening my back.
“You do not have to attend Jade” Luciano tried to coax me.
“I will be fine my dear husband. Trust me. Besides she is your step mother. I can not turn down her invitation. I will have to attend ok” I tried convincing Luciano.
“Fine. You may go. But just try your best to avoid Aurora ok” Luciano advised before placing a peck on my forehead.
“I have to get ready for work now” he stood up from the bed and headed to the shower.
I slouched on the bed and a frown crossed my lips. I will try my best to avoid Aurora, but will she avoid me?
Oh God. Please let this dinner go without any drama.
