Chapter 4: Bring it to me

(Luca Delacroix's POV)

I have had so many women in my life. Countless women have thrown themselves at me. I was running an empire worth—of course they wanted me. I could get any woman I wanted.

I wouldn’t say the woman I am currently with is any different, but there is something about her that appeals to me. She looked sad and lonely regardless of her laughing and jumping and moving her hips from side to side in that hypnotic manner. I couldn’t stop looking at her.

Funny I had come to Maddie’s bar to look for someone and ended up taking another home. Many would say she was exactly my type—jet black long hair, oval-shaped face, and full plum lips.

Ohh fuck, the things I could imagine using that lips for.

Although I didn’t know her name, knowing her name was not important. I’ve had sex with several women, and never have I ever asked for their names. Some give their names to me without a second thought, but I didn’t care to store it in my memory, as I could find another woman in the blink of an eye.

But I knew this one was different, and she wasn't my type in particular. I mixed mainly with women of my standard that came from wealthy families. But never have I ever gone for a woman who had nothing.

Moving my nose down her neck to her breast, I sucked on her nipple, twirling my tongue around it. Her moans were mesmerizing. They told me not to stop, that she is enjoying what I’m doing to her.

Her creamy pale skin that was velvety soft and yearning for my touch erupted in goosebumps. Good. I had an effect on her just like she had on me.

I let my fingers glide down to her panties, which were still on. She was so fucking wet. She was so ready for me to sink my cock in, but not now.

“You are so beautiful, baby!” I whispered in her ears.

Making my way down to her shaved pussy, I inhaled deeply. She was definitely intoxicating. I wrapped my lips around her clit and sucked hard. She moaned in excitement. As I continued, her moan grew louder.

“Please!” she begged.

I sped up my tongue action, making her spasm under me. When her climax came, it was the most beautiful thing I ever saw.

I kissed her lips and her neck, and I did something that shocked her.

“Sleep, baby, we have tomorrow,” I whispered.

She looked at me with glazed eyes, a hint of disappointment , and instead of protesting, she turned around and fell asleep promptly. And I was shocked. I thought she wanted more, but I guess I was wrong. Throughout the night, I watched her as she slept soundly.

A call came into my phone at 3:00 AM. Trust my father to make it the most awkward time to call.

“Son, how is it going?”

“I’m good, Dad. If you’re calling about the job, I haven’t found it yet,” I quickly say, so if he was going to get disappointed, they should do so now.

“I knew it wouldn’t be easy to find, but this is the only way, and you know it,” he said to me. “And you have to take as long as is needed.”

“I’m trying my best. But you know that our business will not run itself, right? I can’t leave the business indefinitely just to look for a jewel.”

“It is important to me, so it is important to our family, Luca. Do well to remember that.”

“I’ve heard you, Dad. Can I go back to sleep or are there some more things you need me to do for you?”

“No. We’ll talk in the afternoon, and I'll send you some documents to cross-check,” he said, ending the call.

Trust my father to ruin a good night. I had one mission—find the jewel. But right now, it was put on hold for this woman beside me. She was too tempting to resist.

I did not realize when I fell asleep, but at some point, I did. I opened my eyes and looked around, quite disoriented by my surroundings. I wondered why I slept here, and then my memory came back to me. And last night’s events came flooding in.

And looked at the empty space beside me and realized she was gone. The lady had gone, and I did not know her name. I didn’t even get the phone number. No woman had ever slept, me, Luca Delacroix and not want something more. They stayed over till morning just to get thrown out.

And here was this lady not ready to be seen with me. It's either that or she doesn't even know who I am. She puzzled me greatly. 

I got up, headed for the bathroom. I took my shower and called my driver to come pick me up. I had a lot to do today.

Today was a new day, and I needed to find that jewel before it became a permanent job for me.

As I get into the waiting car, Marco looks at me.

“Sir, you're not looking so good,” he teased.

“And I guess the salary won’t look so good either,” I teased him back.

“I don’t mind, Sir. I enjoy working for you, regardless if you pay me or not,” Marco responded.

With time, Marco had become the brother I never had and a friend every single time when I needed one.

As I wanted to respond back to his comment, I had a call on my phone. I expected it to be my father, but it was George and Francisco—men who my father had sent with me to look for the jewel.

“Good morning, Sir. I think we’ve located where the jewel is, and I just wanted to inform you.”

“Good. Bring it to me.”
