Dahlia’s POVHis expression changed instantly. The tension in his shoulders eased. His eyes softened in a way that made my chest ache.“Of course, baby,” he said without hesitation.He kicked off his shoes and climbed into the bed beside me. The moment his arms wrapped around me, I felt myself melt into him. Like my body had been waiting for this exact thing all day.He pulled me close, my head resting against his chest. His hand slid up to my hair, fingers moving slowly through the strands, over and over, soothing and gentle. The rhythm of it calmed something inside me that words couldn’t reach.I breathed him in. His scent. His warmth. The steady rise and fall of his chest beneath my cheek.“I was so scared,” I admitted quietly, my voice muffled against his chest.The words came out shaky, fragile, like if I spoke any louder I might break all over again. My fingers curled into his shirt, holding on like he was the only solid thing left in the world.“I know,” he murmured immediately

Luca’s POVHer eyes got all misty, like she was holding back tears or something happy, and she just nodded, her lips pressed together tight. She couldn't get any words out right then, and that made my heart swell up even more.I picked up the bar of soap from the edge of the tub, the steam rising around us making everything feel cozy and close. I worked up a good lather between my hands, bubbles everywhere, and started washing her. My soapy hands slid over her shoulders first, then down her arms, feeling every inch of her skin get clean and slick. I moved to her back, rubbing in slow circles, then around to her front, careful around her belly. She sighed real soft, leaning into my touch, and it made me smile. She reached out like she wanted to grab the soap for me, her hand brushing my chest, but I shook my head gently. 'Not tonight,' I said, keeping my voice low and steady.'Tonight's all about you, baby. Just relax and let me take care of you.'I set the soap down for a second and

Dahlia's POVDinner ended sooner than I expected, though I wasn't complaining. We said our goodbyes to the waiter and left the restaurant together, Luca's hand resting gently on the small of my back as he guided me out into the cool evening air.The ride back home started off quiet. Peaceful, even. But my mind? My mind was anything but quiet.All I could think about was Luca.I tried to focus on other things—the passing streetlights, the soft music playing on the radio, the gentle hum of the car engine. But nothing worked. My thoughts kept drifting back to him. To the way he looked in his suit tonight. To the way he'd smiled at me across the dinner table. To the way his hand had brushed against mine when he'd reached for his wine glass.I wanted him. God, I wanted him so badly it almost hurt.And these stupid pregnancy hormones weren't helping at all. If anything, they were making everything worse. Making it harder to resist him. Making every little touch, every glance, every breath fe

Dahlia's POVLuca took a step back, just enough to really look at me. His silver eyes traveled slowly down my body and then back up again, taking in every detail, every curve. The way he looked at me—god, the way he looked at me made me feel like I was the most beautiful woman in the entire world.Like I was his world.There was reverence in his gaze. Hunger, yes, but also something deeper. Something that made my chest feel tight with emotion."You're perfect," he whispered, his voice rough and filled with awe.I watched as he shrugged off his suit jacket, letting it fall carelessly to the floor. He didn't take his eyes off me as he started unbuttoning his white shirt, his fingers working down the buttons one by one.I couldn't just stand there and watch. I needed to touch him.As soon as he had enough buttons undone, I reached out and placed my hands on his chest. His skin was warm under my palms, so warm it almost felt like he was burning up. I could feel his heart beating strong an

Dahlia's POV"That's right, baby," he said, his voice rough and commanding. "Come for me. I want to feel you come around my cock."He thrust harder, deeper, hitting that perfect spot over and over again. One of his hands moved between us, his thumb finding that sensitive bundle of nerves and circling it.That was all it took.The orgasm crashed over me like a tidal wave. My whole body tensed and then exploded with pleasure. I cried out his name, my vision going completely white as waves of ecstasy washed through me. My inner walls clenched around him, pulsing with the force of my release."Fuck, yes," Luca groaned, watching my face as I came apart beneath him.The pleasure seemed to go on forever, rolling through me in wave after wave. When it finally started to fade, I felt boneless and satisfied, my body humming with residual pleasure.But Luca wasn't done.I could tell by the look in his eyes, by the way he was still rock hard inside me. He'd given me my first orgasm of the night,
