I just bit my lower lip and went out of my room. I was like a wilted vegetable as I headed to the kitchen, but I backed away in surprise when I saw Luca sitting in a chair. He wasn't wearing a shirt, so I could see his muscular body, which was covered in tattoos and scars. He took a drag from his cigarette and blew out smoke before looking at me."Hey." He smiled at me and puffed on his cigarette again.My vision became blurry as I looked at him, and the corners of my eyes started to sting. I clenched my fists and avoided his gaze."Y-You're still here," I just said."Why would I leave?" he asked and put his cigarette on the ash tray.I looked at the floor and fixed my glasses. "A-About what I said earlier..." I trailed off, "i-it was rude, I-I'm sorry..."I want to slap myself when a sob escaped from my lips. It seems like Luca heard that. He stood up and came closer to me, then held my face to make me look at him. He gently cupped both of my cheeks and stared at me. I tried to remov

I bit my lower lip and closed my eyes when I heard the door open. I gripped the comforter tighter. I forced myself to calm my breathing and pretend to be asleep. I felt the bed sink slightly as Luca got on it. He lay down next to me, but I could feel he was a little far from me. My grip on the blanket tightened and my eyes squeezed shut. I don't remember how long I pretended to be asleep. I was just trying to feel for Luca, waiting for him to fall asleep. I wouldn't be comfortable as long as I knew he was awake next to me. I waited a little longer. I turned to look at him, then hugged myself more tightly. I don't know if it was because the air conditioning in his room was too strong, or if I was just really cold. My body feels cold, my heart as well. I'm so cold that it feels like I can't stand to be here anymore. I want to go somewhere warm. I'm cold. I bit my lower lip when I felt my vision blurring. I touched my cheek and was stunned when I realized I was already crying. My

I just bit my lower lip and gripped his shirt. "A-Am I not allowed to hug you?" I asked and fixed my eyeglasses. "You said you're using me... Am I not allowed to request something from you like this? I-In exchange for you using me," I whispered and looked away from him.I was stunned when Luca suddenly held my waist with both hands and effortlessly lifted me and made me sit on the kitchen counter. I just swallowed and held onto his shoulders in surprise. Luca stared intently at me; I felt like I would get burned by the intensity of his gaze."What a fucking lousy request," Luca mumbled, his eyes going down to my lips. "Request something better," he said before he crushed his lips on mine.I instantly hugged his nape and responded to his hot and taunting kiss. I moaned against his soft lips and pulled him closer to me. Luca gently gripped my waist, then caressed it, before he put his hand inside my shirt. I unconsciously bit his lower lip when I felt his calloused hand on my soft skin.

"Yes, they're so cute! It looks like they're having an argument."I bit my lower lip and adjusted my eyeglasses when I heard someone gossiping about us. I discreetly looked at them. They were two women looking in our direction. I just looked away and drank my Coke."You done?" Luca asked and tapped his fingers on the table. His expression is still unreadable. I'm dying to know what he's thinking right now."Yes," I answered curtly."Let's go to the grocery store. We'll buy food, to stock the fridge," he just said."You can buy by yourself. Do I need to go with you?" I asked, frowning."Of course, Crescent. I'm the one who cooked, you know. All you have to do is accompany me to the grocery store, and you can't even do that," he said grumpily.My frown deepened. "Who told you to cook? I can do that too.""Wow, thank you. Thank you so much, Crescent," he said full of sarcasm."Why are you being sarcastic? You're the one who kidnapped me and brought me to your house!"I didn't realize my

"Nervous?"His hot breath caused a tingling sensation in my whole system. I just bit my lower lip and shook my head. "N-No."Luca just held my hand and gently squeezed it, as if he's trying to calm me down, but it didn't help at all. My heart just went wild even more, but this time, I know it wasn't because of nervousness.I guess my feelings for him are much deeper than I thought.We went inside. The place was big, and the guests were obviously all rich. I felt even more embarrassed and nervous. It seems Luca felt that, so he interlaced our fingers."Luca! Crescent!"Luca and I stopped when Sasha approached us. She looks stunning with her silver halter dress... She's effortlessly beautiful."You can eat if you want to... and Luca, your friends are here too."Luca's forehead creased. "Why are they here?" he asked, as if he didn't like that his friends were here."Well... you know Mr. Farthon, right? Chairman of Farthon Group. It seems like he knew some of your friends, so, they are in
