Chapter 18

Why am I moving right now? Can't a person sleep peacefully for once please? A blow of wind hit me and I started to get goosebumps.

I snuggled deeper like a kitten to its mother into the soft jacket that smelled so good.

I heard a soft chuckle then a whisper.

"We're nearly there, darling."

Wait a minute. That voice sounds familiar. Oh no. Don't tell me Luca is carrying me.

I jump up from his arms only for him to hold me tighter to keep me from getting out of his hold.

"Sh it's okay, Luna, we're just going up to the penthouse."

I observe everything around me and see the ladies at the reception desk giving us curious stares. I blush from embarrassment.

I look back up at Luca.

"Why didn't you wake me up? I could've saved you the trouble of having to carry me."

"I didn't want to disrupt your sleep. And trust me, it's no trouble." He said flashing me one of his beautiful smiles.

"I can walk from here now." I told him trying to get out of his arms once more but he still kept me still.

"I really don't mind, Luna. Just let me carry you." He said in a way where I couldn't say no.

I relaxed in his arms and let him carry me.

"Thank you darling."

We got into the elevator and Luca used his elbow to press in the floor number. Number 40. That's high up.

The door closed and I knew what was going to happen next. That feeling when travelling in a elevator always tickled me for some reason.

As the elevator was going up, I tried hard to keep in my giggling.

I can't take it anymore. I giggled so hard and hid my face in Lucas jacket. I can't stop. It's ticklish.

"What's wrong darling?" He asked me.

"The elevator tickles me." I told him still giggling and looked up to see him smiling down at me like I was something precious that he didn't want to lose.

I blushed and looked down. It was too much. Here I was, in his arms with him looking down at me with a loving gaze.

"Adorable." I heard him whisper to himself.

The elevator doors opened and we walked into the hallway and came across a door.

"Can you please reach into my right pocket and take out the keys please?" He asked me.

"Sure." I reached into his right pocket and grabbed the keys. I unlocked the door and Luca pushed it open with his foot.

"Welcome to our new home. For a while that is." Luca said.

I looked around. It seemed nice and simple and looked obvious that only a man lived here.

"It's nice." I told him.

"You can walk now." He said and carefully put me on the ground and held on to me until my legs were able to hold me.

I stretched my arms out. I love a good stretch. I turned around and faced Luca.

"What time is it?" I asked him looking around for a clock but failed to find one.

Luca raised his arm to check his watch. "It's currently 12. You should get some sleep." He told me. He leaned on the wall watching me.

"I'm probably going to stay up for a while. I already slept in the car so I'm not sleepy. You're the one who should get some sleep cause you've been at work all day and then your drove a couple of hours to get here."

"I'll stay up with you." He said folding his arms.

"I'm fine. I'm just going to stay up until I get sleepy and then I'll go to sleep." I told him.

"And I'll sleep at the same time you go to sleep." He said.

This man Is so stubborn!

There was an awkward silence and we were just standing there with him staring at me and me looking anywhere but him.

I made eye contact with him. "What?" I asked him.

"Nothing." He answered.

"Why are you staring at me like that?"

"Like what?" He asked acting dumb.

"You know."

"No I don't."

"If you say so."

I turned around and took my jacket off and placed it on a table close to me.

"Hey Luca, are they going to bring our suitcases up to us or do we-" I turned around to see Luca standing close to me. Woah how did he get here so fast?

"Luca?" I said nervously and took a step back from him.

"Yes?" He asked taking a step forward leaving no room between us.

"What are you doing?" I asked and took another step back.

"What do you think I'm doing?" He asked taking another step forward.

"Luca stop." I said and started moving back but he kept taking a step forward so I slowly kept moving back. I didn't know if I was going to bump into anything but I wasn't willing to stop and check just in case he tried to do something.

"Stop what Luna?" He asked innocently but he was anything but innocent.

"Stop coming close to me." I said.

"I have every right to be close to you. I thought we went through that already sweetheart." He said.

I kept moving back until my back hit the wall. I was about to run and move somewhere else when Luca put both his arms on each side of my head and caged me.

He lowered his face a bit to my level and held eye contact with me.

"Everything of yours belongs to me. Your eyes are for me only to admire, your body is mine to touch" he said touching my waist and going down feeling the curves. I gasped when his hand squeezed my butt and I moved away as much as I could looking down blushing hard.

Luca grabbed my face and pulled me closer to his face squishing my cheeks.

"Your lips are mine only to kiss." He continued breathing heavy looking at my lips for a few seconds. He looked back up at my eyes about to say something that made me feel horrible for letting him think this and for me not telling him.

"And you're innocence is mine and mine only to take." He said and was about to kiss me when the door bell ringed. He let go of my face and put his arm back on the wall contemplating on whether he should open the door.

"T-the door." I said feeling out of breath.

Luca moved his arms from the wall and lifted my chin up with his finger.

"We're not done here." He said and went to open the door.

Two maids walked in pulling the suitcase rack in with them. Luca led them to the rooms where Luca would be sleeping and a seperate room where I would sleep. I liked that he let me sleep alone and have my own room. They placed the suitcases in each room they belonged to and left.

Luca closed the door and turned back around and looked at me with a smirk.

I took a step back without me even realising.

"I'm really tired actually. I'm going to go to sleep now." I said picking my jacket up from the table. "Goodnight Luca." I said and left to go to my room.

"Wait." He said.

I took a deep breath and turned around.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Where's my goodnight kiss?" He asked smirking. He walked towards me and stopped in front of me this time leaving a decent amount of pace between us.

"There's no goodnight kiss." I said and turned back around only to be pulled back. He was about to kiss me aiming for my lips when I moved my face to the side and he ended up kissing my cheek.

"I'll let that go this time." He said looking annoyed.

"Goodnight Luca." I said and left him hearing a soft goodnight back from him.

An hour must have gone by but I couldn't fall asleep. Every small noise I heard would frighten me making me think it was another thief. I was really tired this time. Oh Luna stop being a chicken. I thought to myself and changed sides closing my eyes to try to sleep one more time.

I heard something hit against the window. It's just the wind Luna, calm down. It'll be over soon. I reminded myself over and over again.

The wind suddenly hit my window again.

That's it!

I grabbed my pillow and my blanket and walked over to Lucas room. I peeked into the room and found Luca fast asleep on his bed.

What am I doing?

I walked inside and saw a couch. That will do. I walked over to the couch and placed my pillow on it. I laid on top and put the blanket over me.

The wind hit the window again but it didn't scare me like before cause I felt safe because of Lucas presence in the room.

I'll just wake up early in the morning and run to my room. He won't even notice I slept in here. Or so I thought.
