Chapter 30: Chapter 30

Ro…Rosalia?” I look at him shocked.

“Si. The baby in the picture is OUR.. niece. After the paramedics performed an emergency C-Section on Celeste, Rosalia was transferred to the ICU unit for close observation. The police had found the suicide note explaining everything, she even asked that if the baby survived for it to go straight into the care of Giovanni. There was a DNA test done to confirm that he was the biological father and a week later she was brought home with a clean bill of health.”

“I… me..I can’t believe this.” I straighten and look at Luca.

“You kept this from me! You kept my niece, my blood, the only connection I have left of my sister from me. How could you?” I scream at him devastated.

“It was by your parents' wishes and honoured them that. You were never meant to find out Vanessa. But with everything that has happened, and with the men Giovanni puts away?  They will use anything and anyone against him to try and draw him out to stop him. You and Rosalia are his only links to Celeste, he has never married or taken a lover because his love for your sister still runs deep in his veins.”

“You could have told me, Luca, I am not a child anymore! The whole time we were together you had chance after chance to tell me. But you didn’t. I fell in love with you! You let me fall in love with you knowing …. Keeping all of this from me.” I break down crying. The pain in my heart becoming unbearable.

“I’m sorry Cara Mio. I was never meant to make contact with you.  I was only meant to set up a security tail on you for your safety. But when I saw you.. I had to get to know you, I just had to get involved in your life somehow.” He said in a low frustrated growl.

“You lying son of a bitch!”

I slap him across the face. The rasping sound echos through the penthouse.

“I hate you!” I cry out.

I slap him again and he doesn’t flinch a muscle.  He stands there staring at me, his face blank of any emotion coursing through him.

“Why….why!” I grab ahold of his shirt fisting at it trying to shake him. I let go of him and walk towards the door. I pull the door open and Lucas comes behind. His hand slams the door above my head forcing it shut. I pull again, he slams his other hand on the door caging me in.

“Let me go damn it, Luca, we are done.” I sob out.

“I can’t this time Vanessa, I can’t let you run away this time.” He breathes gruffly into my ear, pressing my front into the door.

“I need you to stay with me. I need you to stop fighting me.” His hand slides down the door then down the side of my arm roughly. He wraps his arm tightly around my waist crushing me to him.

“I’ve missed you.” He starts to ground his erection into me.

“I’m Sorry Cara Mio. But it was not my secret to tell.”

He slowly dips his head and presses a tender light kiss on the pulse of my neck. Sucking at my skin.

“Stay with me tonight?” He continues to kiss my neck. Desire starts to stir within me. “I can make you want me again, just give me the chance to make you want me.”

His hand leaves my waist and slowly starts to travel up my body landing on my breast. His thumb flicks across my nipple urging it to harden through my blouse causing my back to involuntarily arch against him. “

Luca… Stop.” I moan as my traitorous body ignites from a single touch by his hands.

“Don’t fight me, baby. Let me make you feel good again.” He slowly turns me around to face him.

“Merda. I know, I kept this from you, and  I have hurt you. But believe me when I say I am undeserving of your love. But my body,  mind and every emotion I have called out to you. It craves you. I crave you like a toxic drug.” He glides his lips slowly across mine. “Let me take care of you.” He kisses down my body kneeling in front of me, slowly rolling my pencil skirt up as his lips trail upwards towards my pulsing core. His fingers follow suit until they find my underwear, chafing my skin he rips them from me and causes me to gasp. His mouth is on me, his tongue parting my folds, deliciously torturing my clit before he lightly sucks on the erect pebble causing my body to tremble with a force of need. Dropping my purse, I run my fingers through his hair, grinding myself into his face urging him to take me to a higher place moaning his name incoherently. He flicks his tongue a few more times before his lips circle my clit with his hollowing bringing me to the most intense orgasm I’ve ever experienced, blinding me with blasting lights and waves of pleasure, making me scream

“I hate you”

Luca chuckles and starts releasing his belt and drop his pants.

“You hate me” He questions, looking at me smiling, while he unbuttons my blouse slowly.

“I need to be inside Cara Mia.” He says grazing my lips with his. I’m still coming down from my orgasmic high and nod giving him consent to pulverize me. Lifting my leg and I rest it on his hip and he thrusts deep inside me causing me to moan out filled with ecstasy.

“Si, you feel that? It’s all for you. You have me right where you want me, baby.” He continues to thrust into me.

“Tell me that you are mine.” He looks me in the eye imprisoning me with his commanding sexual demeanour.

“No,” I whisper, my eyes never leaving his.

“Say you’re mine Tesoro and I’ll make you come.” He pants through his continuous thrusting never missing a beat.

“God... NO...” I moan, the pressure building in the pit of my stomach again.

“Say it Vanessa baby!” His head dips, he takes my nipple in his mouth through my laced bra and lightly sucks on its bringing me closer to another orgasm.

“Please Luca… Please… I’m so close.” I scream in pleasure.

“Say it…” He slows right down, barely moving.

“Yes.”

I dug my nails into his shoulders, showing him just how much my body needed him.       The need to cum, was so strong it overwrote any common sense I have left. He shifts, lifting me off the ground and starts to fuck me harder. I feel him growing bigger, on the verge of his orgasm.

“I fucking hate you! But I love being fucked by you!” I scream.

He drives into me harder, fucking me with everything he has and sends me over the edge crying out in a convulsive spasm. His cock jerks and he comes with a fearsome roar, shuddering in the aftershocks. He plants kisses all over my heaving chest. After our breathing starts to regulate, Luca slowly lets me down. He steps back and looks down cursing.

“Santa Madonna!” He looks at me shocked.

“I forgot to put a condom on. You got me so fired up Cara Mia I had to have you.” He flashes me a smile.

“ I'm clean and I don’t make it a habit to have unprotected sex.”

He pulls his pants up and does his buckle. I quickly fix my blouse and my skirt the bend down and retrieve my purse from the floor.

“That’s great Luca. But I’m not taking any birth control.” I stand tall keeping my voice strong.

“Merda!” He yells out causing me to jump.

“Why not?” He looks at me in disbelief.

“Well... You came into my life like a raging storm, to begin with. Then I didn’t see the point since we were no longer sleeping together and my heart was too broken to go spreading my legs for another man.” Angry tears start to leak from my eyes.

“I can’t believe this! I was careless yes.  But you…” He runs his hands through his sweat-dampened hair in frustration.

“You have put us in a tight spot. I... We are not ready to raise a child together! We have only known each other for five fucking minutes!” His voice is rough with his words coated in a heavy accent.

“I doubt I’ll fall pregnant, I don’t think I am ovulating just yet,” I whisper.

Trying to calculate my cycle in my head.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re not ovulating today or tomorrow. Semen can survive up to seven days, seven fucking days Vanessa! Merda… SHIT!”

He roars as he looks at me. His words bounce off the walls and violently smack me in the face. I turn and open the door.

“This should never have happened. But don’t worry, the burden will be mine .. and mine alone” I say with my back towards him.

I can't stand to see the look of disgust on his face as I walk out the door in tears one last time.
