Kerry Ann Williams, this chapter was for you because you said you wanted one last hot loving between Luca and Skylar before the end. Hope it was hot enough for you, lol. One last chapter to go, guys!(For real this time, haha)
ONE YEAR LATERLuca was pissed.The day hadn't gone exactly how he'd envisioned it, and he'd been complaining the whole evening. The unfortunate listeners of his lashing out were Caleb and Abhishek.“How could she just forget?” He grouched. “Everyone remembered. My mum, Ella... Heck, even you guys remembered. And she forgets?”“Uh, with all due respect, your highness, your mother gave birth to you. She's the most inclined to remember when it's your birthday.” Abhishek had the very salient idea of mocking him, becoming the recipient of Luca's very unhappy glare.Caleb wasn't fazed though. “Dude, why are you making this a big deal? I'm sure Skylar had stuff on her mind and things to do, and she must've forgotten. Just remind her when you get home. No big deal.”Luca transferred his glare to the other man. “No big deal? It's not like we're 60 or something. We've just been living together for a year! How the hell does she forget my birthday? She didn't have to remind me when it was her bir
The first clue read: YES! YES! I KNOW THAT YOU'RE A DAY OLD, SO LOOK FOR THE FIRST TREASURE WHERE THINGS GET COLD.So Skylar did remember. Grinning like an idiot, Luca figured the first one out easily. It was obviously the fridge. But they had two. One in the kitchen and another at the corner of the wall near the dining table. He took a chance on the one near the dining area, and he was right.His first treasure was there, a somewhat rectangular gift wrapped up so that he couldn't see what it was. Attached to it was the second clue.It read: A MAJESTIC THRONE THAT NO ONE WANTS, YET WE ALL HAVE TO RULE OVER EVERY OTHER DAY.His brows drew together. A throne? Since he was standing around the dining table, his eyes went straight to the chairs there first. But the clue said no one wants it, so it definitely couldn't be those chairs. It took him five minutes of running all around the ground floor before he finally figured it out. When he did, he burst out laughing. What the heck? So the t
Hey guys,This has been a long journey of a little over three months, and I know that reading this story must've been a bit frustrating because of my unscheduled updates where you never know when to expect the next chapter in a day. But y'all stuck with me, and I'm so grateful for that. Thank you so much for the patience.There were times I wanted to give up because writing was so stressful but all your comments kept me on my toes, along with all those beautiful gems you gifted me. They're truly appreciated.A few of you might not agree with some directions I decided to take, but I realize I can't satisfy everyone. I do believe in second chances as long as the other person is remorseful and willing to change. And I tried to be as realistic about the whole thing as possible.That being said, this is my first story on here, and I'm not perfect. There's always room for improvement for my future books, so do let me know; Where did I lack? What could I have done better? Were there issues yo
Skylar's POVI love sex.Yes, you heard that right. I fucking love sex. I think it's the most blissful activity for mankind. I mean, why watch N*****x when you could be fucking? Why read novels when you can be fucking?If I could, then I would have sex all the freaking time.Looking up at the signboard on top of the door of the nightclub, a thrill goes through me as I look at the club name; City of Sin Club.Ay, I'm excited already.The inside of the nightclub is dimly lit, with people of all ages, sexes, and sexualities dancing or groping each other.So what if I came to LA with Luca Knight, my boss, to do business? That doesn't mean I can't have fun and have a taste of the men in LA.I never go without sex for more than a week, but I also never sleep with the same man twice. Some people think I'm a slut but I don't give a fuck what they think about me. I'm happy the way I am.I have no time for relationships. All that is guaranteed in a relationship is heartbreak. And I've sworn to
Luca's POV"What about your ex?" Caleb, my best friend, suggests over the phone."Natasha?" I scoff. "Seriously, Caleb?"That woman is a possessive gold digger. I know she was only with me because it helped her advance in her modelling career.Caleb laughs. "Don't bite my head off, jeez. It was only a suggestion. I think you should pay someone to do the job."Yeah, I've been thinking of that. I just don't want to trust something like that on a stranger."I'm ready!" A female voice announces behind me.Turning, I find Skylar, my PA who I brought on this trip with me for business purposes.Fuck, how long has she been standing there? Did she hear my conversation with Caleb?"Caleb, I'll talk to you later." I hang up the phone, then glare at Skylar in disapproval. "Why do you ladies always take so long to get ready?""And why do you men always complain when you already know what to expect." Skylar shoots back with a chuckle.I roll my eyes at the cheeky reply. Scanning her outfit, I realiz
Skylar's POV"What was that for?" Luca turns to face me immediately after we step out of the café a few minutes after Dennis, his uncle, has left.His left hand is stuffed into his pocket, his right hand holding his left hand back as he glares at me.I blink, caught off guard. "What was what for?""Do not play dumb with me." Luca glares at me. "You just told my uncle that you're my girlfriend.""May I remind you that it was you who told him we were dating?" I retort snarkily. "The way I see it, I saved your ass."Luca brings his hands up as if ready to rub it through his hair but he soon shoves his hand back into his pocket.He looks exquisite in his grey designer suit. His shiny, dark blonde hair is neatly combed with a few strands spilling at the edges, highlighting his handsome face.His eyes are the most cyan I've ever seen. They are a magnetic shade between blue and green. He has a slightly crooked nose and a sharp jawline that all emphasizes his handsomeness.I'm sure underneath
Luca's POVThe next day, my parents send a brand new Ferrari with a driver to come and pick Skylar and me up to the family reunion. Skylar is dressed in a beautiful dress that highlights her curves so perfectly, making her very gorgeous. I find myself constantly stealing looks at her.“It'll take us about two hours to get there.” i inform Skylar. “I hope you don't mind.” Skylar shrugs with a smile. “No problem.”I realize she seems a bit nervous. In the car, we discuss how best to execute our plans to make my mum and my family convinced that we're dating.Finally, we get to my parent's mansion. The driver finds space among the several parked cars, obviosuly belonging to my relatives."Max, please send our luggage inside?""Of course." The driver smiles.“Don't move.” I sternly tell Skylar before taking off my seat belt and getting out of the car. I round the car to the other side and open the door for her.I stretch out my hand. “Shall I?” This feels awkward but it's necessary to cre
Skylar's POVAfter the introductions, Luca's mother, Cornelia sends us upstairs to go freshen up. We'll be sharing one room which doesn't surprise me. After all, we're not in the 19th century. But I must admit that the thought of sharing a room with my boss is a bit unnerving.Luca agrees to let me take a shower first. After I'm done he also goes in to take a shower while I wait for him. When he comes out from the bathroom, he onlyhas a towel around his waist.His torso is bare and glistening with moisture. My mouth dries as I stare at his sexy body. A week ago, I would've never thought that I would see my boss half naked.He's like sex on legs. He has wide shoulders which taper to a lean waist, and his stomach is carved to perfection with breathtaking abs.The towel around him wraps so low around his waist that I swear I can see the beginning of his pubic hair...“I can get you a camera if you want?” My boss smirks at me.That causes me to snap out of my daze. “I'm not staring at you
