Chapter Twenty-One

Luca

Five days have gone by since she got here, and they have been the best days of my life. There have been a few hiccups, like with that Kimmel guy, and my mother and father lying to me, but having Rosie here makes all the difference. Speaking of Kimmel, no one has seen him or heard of him since I kicked him off the landing a few days ago. Hopefully, he is back in America where he belongs.

It still makes me wonder what Rosie’s plans are. I’m afraid to ask her. Right now, I’m in blind bliss. My idea of what will happen is that she will be here every day for the rest of her life, with me, but that’s just a dream. The reality is much harder to swallow.

I roll out of bed, leaving a still-sleeping beauty next to me. I place a kiss on top of her hair, smelling the scent of vanilla left over from our vigorous bath. Fuck, she is a hellcat when it comes to sex. I twist in the mirror, seeing the claw marks on my back to prove it. “Damn,” I say with a smug smile. I love making my sweet feel good.

Even if it makes me bleed in the process.

I take out a plain T-shirt from the drawer and slip on my one and only pair of jeans. I don’t have anything important on the agenda today since my father is back, but I am going to talk to him and my mother. Enough is enough. Then, after that, I’m taking my woman to the pool tonight. We’re going to swim naked. I’ve been dying to know what her body looks like under the moonlight.

Shaking the thoughts away out of my head, I brush my teeth, wash my face and head out. My feet are bare as they hit the cold concrete of the ground, and I go down the steps. It’s still quiet in the castle, but I know everyone is up. No one ever really sleeps in this place. I walk around to the other side, where the other staircase is, and climb, reaching the only door on this side of the castle.

I stare at it for a minute, replaying what happened last time in my head. Whatever answers are behind this door can’t be as bad as they answer I got last time. Blowing out a pent-up breath, I knock. I hear a weak protest from my mother and the deep reassuring voice of my father.

I told myself everything is going to be fine, but the sound of his voice and feet coming closer to the door sends a rampage of anger through my veins. All the feelings that I have put aside with him, all the frustration with how he has run the kingdom, and now the lies with Mom? I can’t forgive him for that.

Before I know it, the door opens and a look of surprise flashes across his features when he sees me. I don’t even think.
