Episode 9- Passion

Episode 9- Passion

At some point, I must have finally dozed back off. I awoke to the sweet, enthralling scent of Luca. I felt his fingertips gently run through my matted hair. He leaned in and gently kissed my forehead. 

“You’re so beautiful”, he whispered. 

I looked up in to his beautiful green eyes. The golden flakes in them were bright and were even more evident today. I could just stare at this perfect man for hours. He did something to me. My body, my heart, my soul. I could just feel his energy and his presence. I don’t think there is anywhere I would rather be. 

“Mmmm… I am so glad you are back. I missed you.” , I whispered gently. I reached over and caressed his hand on top of my shoulder. Suddenly, the realization hit me that I was a hot mess. I am sure my morning dragon breath and wild hair was not attractive. I quickly jumped up and made my way towards the bathroom. Oh god! I am so embarrassed. He is going to leave and its only been a day after he really takes a good look at the “morning me”. I needed to get myself together before he ran for the hills. 

“Where are you going, Elina?” Luca questioned me. 

“To the bathroom. I need a shower and to brush my teeth before you realize what you have gotten yourself in to.” I nervously replied. I had never really cared what people thought of me or my looks. I was always kind of an independent tomboy. I didn’t seek the approval from others. I had my family, Alex and Leah. I never needed anyone else to like me or be there. Now all that has changed and suddenly I was concerned about every aspect of my being. I wanted Luca to love me as much as I did him. I wanted him to stay. My biggest fear had become pushing him away. Overnight, my whole world had shifted. This was insane.

“I could join you if you like, I need a shower myself.” Luca replied smugly, flashing his perfect smile in my direction.

 Oh. my. God. This man was so delicious. His smooth comments, his beautiful body. I suddenly began to feel my body start tingling again. 

“Are you sure? I am kind of a mess and wanted to freshen up.” I hesitated. 

Luca chuckled and rose from the bed. He gently grabbed my hand and led me towards the bathroom. He turned on the water to the shower and grabbed some towels from under the sink. I stood there and watched shyly, my arms crossed in front of my body. Steam from the hot water began to fill the air. It even smelled like him. The whole room became a hot box of his scent. My wolf was going wild but I tried to keep as calm as I possibly could. I didn’t want him to notice what a spaz I truly was.

Luca turned to me and gently ran his fingers up my arms, to my neck. I shivered from the contact. Every single touch just left this electrifying charge on my skin. He lifted my chin to look in my eyes. 

“Don’t be shy with me. You never have to worry about how you look. You are beautiful. You are the most beautiful creature I have ever seen. I could not imagine my life without you now. Please do not ever worry. I love you. You are my everything.”  Luca said sweetly. 

My jaw dropped. This was real. These moments were real and I intended to take advantage of every single one with him. He leaned in to me and placed a kiss on my lips. He ran his hands down my waist and lifted my shirt to expose my stomach. He slowly pulled my top up further and smoothly over my head. I allowed my arms to follow and rise with his movements, bringing them back down and wrapping them around  his neck. His shoulders were broad and tan. I traced the line of his muscles with my fingers. 

Luca undressed and guided me in to the shower. He carefully washed my body, rubbing every inch of my skin. This felt so incredibly good. Between his kiss, his hands touching me and the hot water, it became a sort of euphoric sauna. I felt like I was high above my body watching the passion unfold. I wanted to stay in this place forever. I wanted to stay here in this room with him. The outside world be damned. All I wanted was him.
