LOGINCamilla's POV My bed was too big for just one person but Luca's bed was enormous.His faint scent of his cologne clung to the pillows and the second I turned and inhaled it. My eyes fluttered open and I stirred, my body still humming from the night before.I stretched languidly, a small smile playing on my lips as memories immediately flooded back. His hands, his warm mouth and the way he'd claimed every inch of me. It made me blush. Sex with Nathaniel was only ever plain as Jane and never as intense as what I felt yesterday. Naked and unashamed, I slipped out of bed, grabbing his discarded white shirt from the floor and buttoning it just enough to cover the essentials.The hem brushed my thighs as she padded barefoot down the grand staircase.The smell of fresh coffee and warm pastries greeted me before I even reached the dining room where I could tell Luca was. Seated at the head of the long mahogany table. His phone in one hand and a cup of espresso in the other.He looked e
Camilla's POV I was definitely not drunk when I said what I said and he was definitely not drunk also as he crossed the threshold first. The air between us thickened with every inch he closed and my breath caught as his gaze locked on mine. His dark and hungry gaze. I could feel the heat radiating from my body as he reached me, one hand sliding to the small of my back and the other tangling in my hair. He pulled me closer and our lips crashed together in a fierce kiss that stole the air from my lungs. His mouth claimed mine and his tongue swept in with a kind of possessiveness that made my knees give way and a low moan escaped my throat. My fingers curled into his shirt, desperate for more, but he broke the kiss just enough to lift me. His strong arms hook under my thighs, spreading my legs apart as he found the nearest wall and pressed my back against it. I reached for him again while his touch sent heat waves to my body, my hands fumbling towards his belt because I needed t
Luca's POV Camilla in my words was simply a calm yet untamed force of nature. I had been with needy women, naive women, seductive women, capable women and each of them had one thing in common. They wanted me first. The lust was evident. But Camilla, I could explain hers as ‘need’. Avoiding her might just be the most childish act I have ever done in all my adult years of living. I convinced myself that I had a good reason and that she was drunk and wouldn't remember anything unlike me that lived and now breathed last night. Thoughts of her gasps for air made my pants rigid, the feeling of her skin and the warmth of her insides. The way her walls clamped around me like they never wanted me to let go. Her boobs… Fuck. I combed my fingers through my hair and sighed evenly. I was lusting over my wife. My wife meant for the convenience of our businesses. I went over towards the balcony of my wing after I called in the maids to clear up the broken vase up in my room
Camilla's POVThe first thing I noticed was warmth and the second was the absence of it. I opened my eyelids slowly, letting my sight adjust to the sunlight that spilled across the room through the half drawn curtains. And for several seconds I remained completely still before the memory hit. Luca and his big hands and his voice. I swallowed as heat flooded my cheeks. “Oh my God." I buried my face in the pillow and for a brief, horrifying moment I wondered if I had dreamt the entire thing. But then I shifted and the soreness cleared everything up immediately. Luca and I had sex. And it was the best since Nathaniel's. Not that any of the sex Nathaniel and I had were memorable. On that thought. I sat upright, clearly noticing how silent the room was, no sound from the bathroom and no movement whatsoever.A strange feeling settled in my stomach. Was I perhaps abandoned?I glanced at the table clock and it read eight-thirty in the morning. What went on last night was mutual,
Camilla's POV We didn't leave until they finalized everything and produced accurate documents where it was clear that Nathaniel would pay for extra damages.To convince the public how much we loved each other, we came out of the office by evening holding hands as we got into the car together.I felt extremely good about myself, like I had gotten the validation I needed to inwardly convince myself that I was more than what the Hartfords made me feel. Like a baby producing machine and nothing more. Though Luca hadn't said a word since we got home other than the short business calls he made every ten minutes. I took off my blazer the second I got home and unbuttoned the first buttons, kicked off my heels and strode over to the barI stood in front of the wine rack for a moment.“What do you think about a mini celebration?" Luca, who had already started to make his way upstairs, paused. I selected a bottle of red wine and reached for two glasses. Before returning back to the main s
Camilla's POVI woke up to the sound of the gates opening for Luca to leave for the big meeting with Nathaniel.I glanced back at the clock. 7:12 AM.I stared at the ceiling longer than usual. I wasn't leaving for the office today because after that heart to heart confession about his brother, he convinced me to stay back at home.My thoughts suddenly drifted to how hard it must be for him, blaming himself for his brother's death when it was caused by someone else…I sighed, then put those thoughts to rest. There were more pressing things to deal with, like what happened yesterday. I climbed down from my bed, slipped my feet into the comfy slippers and rose up, stretching slightly. My thoughts lingered on the lawyers they were going to have today. The sudden urge to reach for my phone and feed my brain with the loads of what the internet had to say on this. At that exact moment, my phone rang. I narrowed my gaze towards it and it was my father. Letting out a small sigh, I to
Camilla's POV To avoid further commotion I led him into my office and I let him stand there for more than a moment. In my three years of marriage I had never made Nathaniel Hartford wait for anything. I loved him that much to rearrange my schedule to his taste as well as my feelings and my body.

Third person's POV "Voss." He said the name, like it tasted wrong. "She's a goddamned Voss?”The vase hit the wall and shattered against the cream wallpaper of the Hartford sitting room, leaving a dark stain that was spreading slowly. Nathaniel stood in the center of the room with the jacket gone
