Semua Bab Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters : Bab 261 - Bab 270

~FIORELLA~I stay in the bathroom much longer than I need to.I stand in front of the mirror with both palms pressed against the edge of the marble sink, staring at my reflection as if the woman looking back at me might have some sensible explanation for what just happened.My face is still warm. My heart is still beating far too quickly.And, annoyingly, my eyes look suspiciously close to panic.I hate that.I hate feeling out of control….. especially here.Especially tonight.I close my eyes and take a slow breath, then another.“Pull yourself together, Fiorella.”My voice sounds quieter than I expect.I straighten, and smooth my dress over my hips, fix my hair, check my lipstick, and stare at myself again.There's no panic now.Nothing.I am Fiorella Vincenzo Romano.I don't panic. I don't get intimidated.And I certainly don't allow another woman to make me feel inferior.Clara doesn't matter.Whatever she thinks she is doing doesn't matter.And Lucas…I stop

~FIORELLA~I almost stop breathing when I hear Lucas mention Juliette.Lucas watches my face. And suddenly, everything makes sense.The phone, his expression at the table, the silence in the car, the way he avoided looking at me.My stomach drops.“You…” My voice barely comes out. “You read it?”He doesn't answer immediately. He looks away, then back at me.“Yes, Fiorella.”My lips part. “You actually read my message?”“I saw the notification,” he replies.“That doesn't mean you read it. You have no right reading my message!” I yell at him.“Well, I did,” he shrugs. “I'm sorry I read your message, but I'm glad I actually read it. Unless, I would have been in the dark for long.”My face burns.“How much did you read?” I ask.His jaw clenches. “Enough.”“Enough? What does that mean?” I ask.“It means I saw Juliette's name.” He pauses. “And I saw what she wrote. I read the nasty and naughty text.”I feel the blood drain from my face.“I wasn't trying to snoop throug

~FIORELLA~I have never felt this exposed in my entire life.Not when I've stood in front of a courtroom full of people waiting for me to fail.Not when I've walked into a room filled with men twice my age and made them listen to me.Nothing compares to standing in front of Lucas and admitting that I've fallen in love with him.Never in my life did I ever think of confessing my feelings to a MAN first.What more?? I just confessed my feelings to a man I know absolutely nothing about….not even his family, his friends, his childhood, where he's from….Now, I'm standing in front of that MAN after doing the unthinkable.My heart is pounding so violently that I'm almost convinced he can hear it.He doesn't say anything. He just stares at me.And somehow, his silence is worse than anything he could have said.I swallow.“Say something, Lucas.”But he says nothing. His eyes remain fixed on mine.“You're making me nervous, Lucas.” I shift uncomfortably.That finally s

~FIORELLA~We're still kissing on the bed when Lucas suddenly breaks the kiss.I look up at him in confusion, and he's smiling naughtily at him.Hmmmmm…..that naughty smile.I wonder what he's up to.“You said you want to surrender yourself to me, right?” He smirks at me. “Have you changed your mind?”“No,” I reply. “I haven't changed my mind.”“Good girl. Now, I'm going to take full control,” he says, still smirking. “When it gets too much, feel free to ask me to stop.”I chuckle at that.How dominant and controlling can Lucas be to make me ask him to stop??Me of all people??He sits up on the bed and moves to the edge, then points to the floor in front of him.“Stand here,” he orders.His voice is surprisingly low and commanding, that I scurry off the bed to stand in his front immediately.His hands rises to my hips and pulls me closer between his spread thighs.I'm now standing between his thighs, and without thinking, I move my fingers through his hair lovi

~FIORELLA~I squeal as Lucas rolls us as one, his bodyweight pinning me to the bed.Looking up at him, I search for his beloved features. And my fingers go up to touch his thick, sexy hair.I look into his beautiful eyes fringed with long black lashes any girl would kill for. He's so handsome.Dropping my gaze, I concentrate on his full, very kissable lips.From experience, I know how soft they are and how they easily curve into a smile. When he grins broadly, a dimple appears in his right cheek.Forget handsome….. My man is freaking gorgeous.As he gazes down at me, I feel bathed in his love.“I wish we weren't on a trip with limited clothes. I would have loved to dress you up as a naughty school girl, and then bend you over the table, and whip your ass hard,” Lucas says.“Lucas!” I gasp in surprise. “What a wild and naughty imagination you've got!”He chuckles hard.“Don't be too surprised at my naughty self. Not everyone gets to see it,” he says.“So I shoul
