“Peach is my favorite fruit.”
Chloe’s face flamed at the insinuation.
Easing a lone finger under the silky fabric, he parted her to run it through the wetness waiting for him. Slowly, he withdrew his finger and sucked it into his mouth. “Ripe enough to pluck.”
He lifted her to the desk then rolled her panties down so he was given a salacious vision of Chloe perched within his reach.
Caressing up her thighs, he moved his chair closer, bringing his mouth to her sex. Then, lowering his head, he nuzzled the clean-shaven mound over her sheath before dipping lower to savor her pure essence.
Clutching his shoulders, she gave a low moan when his tongue feathered over her clit, teasing her with the pleasure he wanted her to beg for.
He switched from teasing her sensitive pink flesh to letting his tongue take possession of the part of her body that would never know another man’s touch. He heard Chloe’s sweet moans of need as he stood and straightened to unzip his trousers.
“Come to me.”
Obeying, she lifted her hips off the desk and onto his cock. Lucca had to grit his teeth as she settled on him. Her heat surrounded him as her hips pressed down, driving him higher. Lucca had to hold her still when he embedded his cock inside of her to the hilt.
Cupping her bottom, he raised her slightly then lowered her, repeating the same maneuvers of lifting her higher before allowing her to slide down. Chloe tried to resist his controlling movements, impatiently trying to build a faster momentum, which would have her climaxing too soon.
“Be patient,” he coaxed. Firming his grasp on her hips, he regained control. A low laugh escaped him when he saw her frustrated expression.
He hooked a finger under the cup of her bra to bare a breast so he could see the nipple, which was just pouting to be sucked.
Sucking the pert flesh into his mouth, he lightly grazed the nub with his teeth, making Chloe jump on his cock as if she had been electrocuted.
“Easy, darlin’.”
“That’s easy for you to say,” she complained with a whimper.
“Making love to you is never easy,” Lucca said, releasing her nipple to nuzzle her breast. “It’s like entering uncharted territory, never knowing if you’re going to come out alive, or if there will be anything left to bury when it’s over.”
Her expression was filled with doubt. “Do you really feel like that?”
“Every time.”
“I feel like that, too.” Her forehead sank to his chest. “All the time.”
Lucca buried a hand in her hair. “You’re only supposed to feel like that when we’re making love.”
“I see how the women in the casino look at you, Lucca. I’m not blind,” she confessed her insecurities. “Sometimes, I look over my shoulder to see if you stare back.”
Lucca braced his hands on the desk behind him so Chloe would move backward. Using his thighs, he started rocking back and forth as she straddled him. He knew he had found her sweet spot when her soft screams filled the air. He waited until she stopped trembling before he tilted her head back so she would be forced to look into his eyes that now glowed mostly green.
Lucca started moving again. “The only woman I see is you. The woman who belongs to me. Will always belong to me.”
With her eyes on him, Lucca released the control he had over his body. Climaxing, he linked Chloe’s fragile hands with his, and when it ended, he didn’t lift her off him, keeping his cock nestled deep within her warm heat.
“Ti amo, tesoro.”
“What does that mean?” she asked breathlessly.
The only four Italian words that mattered. “I love you, darlin’.”

TWO DEALS IN ONE CHAPTER
“What is your game here, Lucca?”
Lucca stared at the man on the other side of his desk.
Dominic Luciano had come all the way to his home office to speak with him. Truthfully, he hadn’t given him much of a choice. Lucca had taken everything away from the Luciano mob boss that hadn’t already been taken.
The city was destined for Lucca.
Half of their money went to the Carusos, thanks to his father.
Angel now worked for Lucca, again thanks to Lucifer.
Kat was to wed Drago.
And still, it wasn’t enough for Lucca, so …
“What is it you want?” Dominic’s hazel eyes glowered at him.
“You’re right. I do know everything about you, Dominic,” Lucca admitted. Just a few moments ago, Dom had told him that he probably did because he had secretly befriended Cassius. And now Lucca was going to tell him exactly how much he did know …
“I know the things you went through in that house, how you were raised, and what you’re capable of.” Rising, Lucca walked to face Dominic so the man would understand the severity of his next statement. “You and I will burn this fucking city to the ground if we don’t see eye to eye.”
