Lia’s POV

My heart felt so full it could burst. The tears welled up in my eyes, hot and heavy, blurring the soft candlelight on the rooftop table. The cool night breeze brushed against my cheeks, carrying the sweet scent of the white roses and the distant hum of the city far below. I looked at Victor and Dante, my voice shaking as the words finally came out. “I love you both so much,” I whispered, my throat tight with emotion. “I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Both of you. I don’t

  • DIRTY DESIRES: DADDIES TASTE BETTER   Chapter 318

    Lia’s POVShe walked closer until she was in front of me. The sea light made the white of my dress even brighter between us. I could hear her breathing. I could see the pulse jumping in her throat. Her perfume was different from Joella’s. Lighter. Almost powdery. It mixed with salt from the open window and the sweet oil on my skin.“Can I speak with you alone?” she asked.Joella spoke before I could answer.“No.” Her voice was polite only on the surface. “I am not leaving her alone with you.”She looked at Lola as she said it. Not blinking. Not smiling.Lola’s hands tightened around each other. I heard the faint rub of skin.“Please,” she said. “Just for a few moments.”Joella stared at her for a long second.Then she looked at me.I gave a small nod.Joella exhaled through her nose. I felt that sound more than I heard it.“Fine. On one condition. The door stays open. I will be right outside. If I hear anything I do not like, I am coming back in.”“That is fair,” Lola said.Joella squ

    Lia’s POVThe screen was full of messages. Patricia. Monica. Rachel. People from Meridian Global sending congratulations in a chain that made my chest feel tight in a good way. Someone had sent a photo of a sad-looking plant in the office with a note that said the plant missed me. Rachel wrote, I still cannot believe this is your life, and also I can. I typed back thank you to each of them, slow, because my hands were a little unsteady and I did not want to send half a sentence to my boss on my wedding morning.Joella talked through her makeup.“If they put too much on me I will look like I am trying to compete with the bride.”“You could not compete with me today if you tried,” I said.“Rude.”“True.”When they finished with her, I stood up and looked at her properly. Her hair was swept to one side. Her face was glowing. She looked like herself, only sharper around the edges.“You look so beautiful,” I said.She pretended to blink away tears.“I know. I am a gift.”The makeup artist

    Lia’s POVI put on the robe she had laid out. It was white and soft and too fine for how nervous my hands felt. Joella tied the belt for me like I could not be trusted with knots. Then she pushed me into the chair by the window and told me not to touch my face.“The artists are coming,” she said. “If you start crying before they get here, I will be forced to ruin my own morning.”“I am not going to cry.”“You always say that. And then you cry. And then I cry. And then we both look crazy.”A knock came at the door not long after.The makeup artist and the hairstylist arrived together, rolling black cases behind them, polite and quick, already looking at my hair like it was a problem they were happy to solve. They set up near the window where the light was best. Brushes lined up. Palettes opened. A steamer hissed once. The smell of clean powder and warm tools filled the room.Joella watched them like a sergeant.She stood with her arms crossed at first, then circled. She asked if they h

    Lia’s POVShe hugged me back just as hard, champagne and perfume and that old familiar Joella smell, vanilla and trouble.“I’m going to miss you when you go on your honeymoon,” she said into my shoulder.“I’m not going away forever,” I said. “I’ll come back soon.”I pulled back enough to see her face and smiled through the tears.“Besides. You have Callum and Cavern to occupy your time. Or even better… occupy you.”She smacked my arm.“Lia.”“What? I said what I said.”She tried to look offended. She failed. Her ears went pink.“Drink your champagne and shut up.”I did, laughing.The box sat open between us, red lace and fur and all her love dressed up as filth. Outside, the island was dark. Tomorrow I would put on a white dress and walk toward the rest of my life.I woke up the next morning to the feeling of someone jumping on my bed.The mattress bounced. Once. Then again. Harder. A spring complained under us. I made a sound that was not a word and tried to pull the blanket over my

    Lia’s POVTime on the island flew by so fast.One day I was still pressing ice to my cheek. The next, people started arriving. Then more people. Then flowers in rooms I did not remember asking to fill. The bruise faded from ugly purple to something makeup could hide. The villa filled with guests Victor and Dante had invited. Servers too. Trays. Glasses. Quiet footsteps in the halls at hours when the house used to belong only to us.And just like that, it was the night before my wedding.Matteo and Lola had arrived on the island that morning.I heard Matteo before I saw him. Small running feet on stone. His voice calling for Dante, bright and sure, like he already knew Dante would answer. When I came downstairs, he was already in Dante’s arms. He talked too fast about the boat and the water and whether there would be cake tomorrow. He asked if he could wear big-people shoes. Dante laughed and said we would see.Matteo was going to be our ring bearer.I could already see him in the litt

    Lia’s POVVictor on one side. Dante on the other. The sheets cool, their bodies warm. Dante’s fingers moved slowly through my hair while he told us a story from his college days. Something about a stolen sculpture, a professor who never found out, and Cavern pretending he had nothing to do with it even though he had driven the car.Victor made a sound that might have been disapproval and might have been pride.“You’re smiling, babygirl,” he murmured.“I like hearing him talk,” I said.Dante kissed the top of my head. “That’s because you’re easy to please, baby.”“I am not.”“You are,” he said, softer. “In the best way.”When Dante finished the story, the room went quiet again.Victor’s hand was on my stomach, unmoving, thoughtful.“We need to talk to you about something, sweetheart.”I opened my eyes.Dante’s hand stilled in my hair.“Okay,” I said.Victor turned onto his side so he could see my face. The lamp on the nightstand made the silver in his hair catch. He looked at the bruis

    When I finally got to my room, I stopped in the doorway and just stared.It was beautiful. Really, genuinely beautiful. The room was spacious and airy, with high ceilings and large windows that looked out over the water. The last light of the evening was painting the Mediterranean in shades of oran

    Those blue eyes. God, those blue eyes.Up close, they were even more intense than I'd noticed from across the room. They were the kind of blue you saw in pictures of the Mediterranean—deep and clear and impossibly bright. They held a sharpness to them, an intelligence, like he was taking in everyth

    Lia’s POVThe words hit me like a physical blow. Like he'd reached across the space between us and punched me in the stomach.Better than I ever did.I thought about all the times I'd tried to please him. All the times I'd gotten on my knees for him, wanting to make him feel good, wanting him to wa

    Lia’s POVA real smile, not the annoyed half-smile he usually gave me. His eyes lit up as he looked at her, traveling down her body slowly, taking his time."I don't need anything for now," he said, and his voice was different. Warmer. Friendlier. Flirty, even."Okay, sir," she purred, holding his
