I jerk awake and rub my eyes to clear away the sleep. I push myself up in bed and glance around the dark room.
What the hell was that?
Bam. Bam. Bam.
Who the hell is pounding at my door at two a.m.?
I throw back the covers and make my way through my dark apartment to the door.
Bam. Bam. Bam.
Getting woken up in the middle of the night by some asshole is the last thing I need. I finally managed to fall asleep after battling with myself for hours about wanting to go to Luca’s. For once, common sense won, and I didn’t go crawling over here.
I glance through the peephole.
Shit. What the hell is he doing here?
The smart thing to do would be not answer. But he won’t go away if I don’t. I scrub my hands over my face, unlock the door, and tug it open. Luca shoves past me, turns around, and pushes the door closed. The lock clicks into place.
“What the hell, Luca?”
His dark eyes roam over my nearly naked body, and he takes a step forward, closing the distance between us and backing me into the door. His left hand hits the wood, followed by his right, caging me in against it.
My heart flutters, and my cock hardens, and he hasn’t even touched me.
I finally manage to find words. “You can’t be here.”
There isn’t enough will-power left in my body to have him this close. Not tonight. Maybe not ever.
He shifts his hips forward and presses his erection against mine. “I came to tell you something important.”
I shove my hips back against his, trying to put a little distance between us, but all it does is cause a delicious friction that has me biting back a groan. “I don’t think you coming here to tell me you need to get off is important.”
A sly grin curls the corner of his mouth, and he brushes his thumb over my quivering lip. “That wasn’t what I came for.”
The desire burning in his gaze and the hard dick pressed against me says otherwise. He’s a fucking liar. Always has been. Always will be.
“Then tell me whatever is so important and leave.”
He leans in and brushes his lips against my ear. His warm breath floats across my skin, sending goosebumps skittering all over. “I had a lovely visit with some of your friends today.”
I freeze, and when he pulls back, I narrow my eyes at him. “Who? What did you do?”
“The lovely Miss Caroline Brooks and her boyfriend, Saint Clarke.”
“Shit.”
He chuckles and shifts his hand up to press it against my naked chest. My heart thunders under his palm.
I swallow through a dry throat. “What did you do?”
He raises a dark eyebrow at me. “You have so little faith in me? That hurts. They showed up at my office of their own volition. Ms. Brooks is interested in writing a piece on me for the newspaper and Saint…well, he was interested in protecting Ms. Brooks.”
I practically choke. “A story on you? What
