SUBSTITUTE BRIDE FOR THE MAFIA DON CHAPTER 240
Dahlia's POV"I don't know what you mean," I said innocently, even as I smiled at my reflection in the mirror. "I just sent you a picture.""A picture," he repeated, his voice dropping even lower. "Baby, that wasn't just a picture. That was... fuck. Do you have any idea what you're doing to me right now?""Tell me," I said, my voice dropping to match his.I heard him take a sharp breath. "I'm hard as a rock and you're three doors down from me and I can't come to you because my cousin is apparently the fun police."I laughed softly. "Andrea means well. She's just trying to maintain tradition.""Tradition can go to hell," Luca said bluntly. "I need to see you. I need to touch you. That oil on your skin... God, Dahlia, I can practically smell it from here. That's my favorite one.""I know," I said, feeling empowered by the effect I was having on him. "That's why I used it.""You're killing me," he groaned. "How was your night? Please tell me you're home early because you missed me and no

Dahlia's POV"Yes!" I agreed, fanning myself with my hand. "God, it's warm in here."But it wasn't just the temperature of the club that had me feeling overheated. It was the entire experience—the sensual dancing, the intimate performance, the confidence and sexuality on display. It had awakened something in me, stirred up feelings that pregnancy hormones were already keeping at an all-time high.I wanted Luca. Badly.The thought hit me so suddenly and intensely that I almost gasped. I wanted my husband. I wanted his hands on me, his mouth on me, his body against mine. I wanted him to touch me and kiss me and make love to me until I couldn't remember my own name.I shifted in my seat, suddenly very aware of the growing ache between my legs, the way my skin felt too sensitive, the way my heart was racing."You okay?" Andrea asked, noticing my expression. "You look flushed.""I'm fine," I said quickly, taking a long drink of my mocktail to cool down. "Just... warm."Andrea studied me fo

Dahlia's POVWe clinked our glasses together, and I took a sip of my mocktail. It was delicious—sweet but not too sweet, with a perfect balance of flavors.The lights dimmed further, and the soft jazz music transitioned into something more sultry and rhythmic. The stage, which I now had a perfect view of from our VIP section, was illuminated by a single spotlight.The show was about to begin.And despite the absurdity of being very pregnant at a strip club, despite everything weighing on my mind about my parents and Andrea's heartbreak, I felt genuinely happy.This was going to be a night to remember.The spotlight on stage brightened, and a hush fell over the entire club. Even the soft murmur of conversation from the other sections died down as everyone turned their attention to the performance about to begin.Then she appeared.A beautiful woman stepped into the spotlight, and I found myself holding my breath. She was absolutely stunning—tall and graceful, with long dark hair that c

Dahlia's POVLiam opened the rear passenger door of the SUV with a slight bow, offering his hand to help me climb in. I took it gratefully—getting into tall vehicles was becoming increasingly difficult with my growing belly and the short dress I was wearing.Once I was settled in the back seat, Liam helped Andrea in as well. She slid in next to me with considerably more grace than I'd managed.Antoine got into the front passenger seat while Liam took the driver's position. Within moments, we were pulling out of the villa's driveway and onto the streets of Paris.The city was beautiful at night. The streetlights cast a warm golden glow over everything, and as we drove, I caught glimpses of the Eiffel Tower in the distance, lit up and sparkling. Couples walked hand-in-hand along the sidewalks, and café terraces were filled with people laughing and drinking wine.It was romantic and magical, and I felt a flutter of excitement in my chest. Tomorrow, I would be standing in this beautiful c

Dahlia's POV"You love it," I said."I do," she admitted. "You guys are perfect together. I'm so happy for you, Dahlia. Really."But even as she said it, I saw that shadow pass over her face again. That sadness that she couldn't quite hide.My heart ached for her. Here she was, throwing me this bachelorette party, celebrating my love story, when her own had ended in heartbreak."Andrea—" I started, but she cut me off."Nope," she said firmly, holding up a hand. "Tonight is not about me. Tonight is about you and your last night of freedom before you marry that wonderful, annoying cousin of mine tomorrow.""But—""No buts," she insisted. "Tonight, we party. We drink—well, you'll drink virgin cocktails, but I'll drink enough for both of us. We watch beautiful people dance. We have fun. Got it?"I studied her face, seeing the determination there, the need to focus on anything but her own pain."Got it," I finally agreed."Good," she said, linking her arm through mine. "Now let's go. We ha

Dahlia's POVI put my hair up in a high ponytail, which made me look younger and more playful. Then I did my makeup—smoky eyes with gold shimmer, rosy cheeks, nude glossy lips. By the time I was done, I actually felt pretty. Sexy, even, despite the growing belly.I stood in front of the full-length mirror in the suite I was sharing with Andrea tonight—she'd insisted we stay in a different suite from Luca because, as she'd said very seriously, "It's bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding."I'd tried to argue that we were already married and this was just a vow renewal, but she'd waved that off. "Doesn't matter. Tradition is tradition."Looking at my reflection, I felt a flutter of excitement. I looked good. Really good. And I couldn't wait to see Luca's reaction.On impulse, I grabbed my phone and took a selfie in the mirror, making sure to get the full outfit. Then I sent it to Luca with a simple message: "Getting ready for tonight "Not even thirty seconds later,
