VIVIAN WHISPERED, “WAKE up, caro. You’re having a bad dream—-” She shook him again, and this time her husband shot up to a sitting position. Hearing him desperately suck his breath, she quickly pushed herself up as well and twisted around to flick the light switch on.

The pair of bedside lamps flared into life, and when she looked back at Luca, she saw the stream of golden light illuminating her husband, who was still breathing hard. The covers had fallen to his waist, and his powerful, naked body was enveloped with cold sweat. When she lifted her gaze to his, Vivi saw that his light blue eyes had a haunted look to them, and a twinge of pain pinched her heart.

Moving to him, she laid her hand on his arm, whispering, “It’s just a dream, Luca.”

He slowly reached for her, almost as if he was afraid that she would disappear any moment, and instinct made Vivian keep herself still. Her husband’s fingers grazed her cheek, and when he still didn’t say a word, she whispered uncertainly, “Luca?”

He said abruptly, “I dreamt you left me.”

Oh. That such a thing could cause him to have so much darkness in his gaze—-

It pinched her heart again, but the pain was a sweet agony because the darkness was also proof of how much he loved her.

This man who had once turned his back completely on love, this man who had once pushed her away in order to harden his heart against her-—

Giving Luca a tentative smile, she tried to lighten his mood, saying, “That was the bad part, right? You’re not telling me that the nightmare was the fact that you woke up and realized I’m still your wife—-”

In a blink of an eye, her beautiful husband had her pinned under him.

“Luca!”

“I’m not joking,” her husband snarled under his breath, and clasped tightly to him, Vivian could feel the way his heart beat hard and fast against his chest. This suggested that he was seriously worried she could leave him, and she blinked up at him in bemused shock. “Oh, Luca.” Vivian shyly clasped her husband’s face, mumbling, “How can you even think it’s possible for me to leave you? I love you—-”

“And I love you, too, cara.” He took her hands, kissing her knuckles gently, and in spite of the simplicity of the gesture, it was still enough to make Vivi’s body shiver in sensual awareness.

“But even so—-” The tautness of his tone drew her gaze back to his face. “I still made you cry. I still make you cry—-”

“That’s normal,” she dismissed lightly. “And besides, we always make up—-”

Her husband’s expression remained hard. “All your troubles now are because I made you my wife.”

These last words finally clued her in to where he was coming from, and she sighed. “This is about me being turned down a chair in St. Francis’ board, isn’t it?”

When her husband’s lips tightened, she thought with a mental wince, Bingo. Looking at her husband, she said carefully,
