Luca

“What the…” I put my hands on my hips ready to give this minx a piece of my mind when she made the ultimate save for herself.

“Anyway, boss has a girlfriend now so you better spread the word to your little posse, no more sleazy hook ups for you lot.”

My shoulders went down and a warm smile replaced the evil scowl that I had no doubt been giving her. Rosa also chose that moment to come back into the bar and raise her eye brow at us.

“Everything okay Stacey? Chloe? You’re here to see Luca right Chloe?”

Stacey the red head’s face dropped and she whipped her head from Rosa’s to mine so fast she probably gave herself whiplash.

“Oh my God!” she blurted out covering her mouth in shame. “I’m so sorry, I thought…well I didn’t know…. Oh God please don’t have me fired.” She begged and from the look in her eyes I could tell she was petrified of what I would do.

“Fired?” I laughed, “You should get a raise for being so vigilant, good job Stacey. You’re wasted behind the bar, Luca should put you on security.” I joked as she heaved a sigh of relief.

“Not much gets past our Stace!” Rosa quipped as Stacey stepped aside for me.

“Don’t panic.” I whispered. “You didn’t do anything wrong, not really and I won’t say a word. Trust me.”

She grinned up at me and nodded. I had a feelin

g I’d just made another friend in Stacey and it felt good to know. As much as I loved Teresa, she wasn’t what you would call a girls’ girl. Let’s just say I wouldn’t have introduced her to Luca not in a million years. It wasn’t that I didn’t trust Luca, no I didn’t trust Teresa not to throw herself at him the first time my back was turned. Teresa was an acquired taste and although girls had warned me against getting too close to her I kinda knew how to keep her sweet. Plus she was a riot on a night out, and after leaving the tyranny that was my Mother’s care I was more than happy to play the good girl to her bad.

I made my way up the stairs to Luca’s office and knocked on the door twice before entering to find him surrounded by paperwork, money, two lap tops and a PC. What the hell was he working on that required so many computers?

“I have to go gentlemen I have an urgent matter that just came up.” He said to one of the lap tops as his eyes drank me in and he gave a sneaky grin.

“I want to know the details of the shipment by midnight.” A gruff voice echoed back.

“You’ll have it when I’m ready.” Luca snapped and shut the lap top down making my jump slightly.

“Bad meeting?” I said through clenched teeth hoping that last part hadn’t sent him into a bad mood.

“Bad day.” He growled then he fixed his eyes on me, “But it just got a whole lot better. Come here.” He called me over to where he sat at his desk, then put his arm out to take my hand and pull me down into his lap.

He stroked my cheek then pulled me in for a kiss, putting me into a delicious Luca induced trance. Boy my Luca knew how to kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck and savoured every minute of him as he kissed me and held me close. Even in his pissed off state he still made my knees go weak.

“Thank you for surprising me.” He smiled at me as he pulled his sexy lips away from mine.

“My pleasure.” I moaned bending back towards him and biting on his bottom lip. “I missed you.”

He ran his hand from my knee up my thigh and then lifted my skirt to see what was hidden underneath. The feel of his coarse rough fingers against my soft skin made me tingle and gasp.

“Ivory lace.” He raised both eye brows, “I like it…but it would look better around your ankles.”

“Whatever sex fiend.” I giggled.

“I’m all wound up. I need your help to find a release.” He murmured into my ear.

“I know an excellent way to ease stress and find…relief.” I was toying with him now.

“Oh yeah?” He smirked running his fingers up and down my hips now, making my skin goose bump.

“Yeah…” I ran my nose seductively along the side of his and sighed, “pool.”

“Pool?” He reared his head back and frowned at me.

“Yeah a decent game of pool always gives my brain a clear out.” I smirked back at him.

“I can think of better ways to…clear my brain.” He glared at me quizzically.
