Luci?”She called out rushing to his bedside, he was fighting something invisible and he was sweating even though the air-conditioning was on. Not only that, he was also talking to himself. More like fighting himself in his sleep. He was having a nightmare. “Luciano, Luci,”She called out trying to wake him up but he pushed her hand away and kept crying out words that she couldn’t make out. She stood there not knowing what to do or how to wake him up. it was clear that the dream was a terrible one for him to be acting this way. she couldn’t leave him like that. She sat on the bed again and pushed against his chest to get him to wake up. “Luci, wake up, please, Luci,”She called out his name but he didn’t wake up. she got even more scared. It was obvious that it wasn’t a normal nightmare if it was, he would have woken up as soon as she walked into his room. “No, No, please, Stop, Danielle, don’t move,”He cried. He was dreaming about her and it wasn’t a good dream. Okay, that’s it.
His kiss was hot and passionate and without moving his mouth from hers, he lifted her in his arms and placed her in the center of the bed. He came down on top of her, his movements swift and possessive as he slid over her hips that have gotten bigger because of the pregnancy. She felt his weight and the pressure of his body on hers and her excitement increased because she was suddenly so aware of his physical strength. He lifted his head and rolled away from her, placing his hand on her quivering lower abdomen and over the bump where their little ones resided in a gesture that was unquestionably possessive. As if to ensure that there was no mistake; “Mine,” He whispered, softly as he moved his hands downwards in a purposeful movement. “All mine,”Dani didn’t know if he was referring to their little one or her and she wasn’t really at a point where she could care. All she wanted was to feel his hands all over her body, to feel his lips on hers. She dragged his face to hers and kisse
Luciano woke up to a warm presence in his bed, it was a foreign feeling for him even though he had had a good number of lovers, he almost never fell asleep after sex and he made sure to never spend the night with a lover not even with Vera whom he had considered marrying because she told him she was pregnant. He didn’t see the need to wake up in the arms of any other woman and he had never had anyone in this bed before until Danielle and she fitted perfectly in his bed and in his arms. She snuggled closer and he inhaled the sweet smell of her. Last night had gone from being bad and lonely for him to hot and exciting. He had been having a nightmare and the worst kind yet and then in his dream Danielle had been in danger once again and he had been calling her. This time however, she walked towards him and he had stretched his arms out to her, instead of running into his arms, she froze and before he knew it, she had been blown backwards by an invisible breeze and he couldn’t reach her.
“Are you sure you are going to be okay on your own? I will be gone for a week, I told you that I can st--”‘No, you don’t,”Dani said, cutting off anything else he wanted to say. He was being overly protective of her. He had a business trip and she knew because they had been in his room while he was in the shower when the call came and he had asked her to take the call. She was the one that scheduled the trip but he was trying to find a way not to attend because he didn’t want her to be on her own. Not like she was going to be on her own. Keira was coming over to come and keep her company. Something that Luciano had specifically requested of Keira who had been much too excited to help him. It has been three weeks since the night she had walked into his room and told him her cravings and in those three weeks, their relationship has grown so much that she moved into his room completely at his request. He told her he loved going to bed and waking up with her in his arms. He wasn’t alone
“I couldn’t help it, I had to have you one last time before I leave, don’t blame me. It’s a whole week away from you,” She couldn’t argue with him on that. “So? Are you going to redress and go?”She asked even though she wanted him to stay. “I will, not right now, though, I still have time, what I needed to do at the office isn’t that important,”He said and kissed her again, she smiled and rested her head on his chest. He placed his hand on her stomach, gently and softly cradling the baby bump. Dani closed her eyes and fell asleep in his arms. “Danielle, oh my God, they moved,”Was what woke her up about an hour later, she opened her eyes to see Luciano kneeling on the bed beside her, his eyes on her stomach and an emotion that she had never seen before on his face. “You are awake,”He said, looking at her and she nodded. “What did you say before?”Dani asked, looking at her tummy, she was sure she heard him say something moved, and the way he was looking at her tummy. “I was
Keira arrived almost as soon as Luciano had left. They must have passed each other on the way. “Whoa, this place is huge darling. don’t tell me he owes the whole place. I knew he was rich but this was beyond what I imagined, no wonder you always call it a mansion.”Keira said. Dani laughed and went to hug her. “He does own the place; didn’t you see his name at the very beginning?”“I did okay and I set the timer from when the driver that came to pick me up told me we had arrived at his property and we spent ten minutes without traffic to get here, I am saying from the entrance to the parking space,” She was exaggerating but not all that much, the mansion was huge and the land within the property was even bigger. A whole estate can fight into the property. Luciano slashed a huge sum of money on the property. According to him, it was one of the first properties he acquired and he didn’t sell to anyone because he fell in love with the place so he made a home out of it.“Let’s not even
“Doc? How are my babies?”Dani asked when she was finally able to meet with the doctor again after a series of tests. The sonographer had assured her that both kids were okay but she couldn’t totally be relieved until the doctor told her.“Your little ones are okay and are growing well, I told you before that you have nothing to worry about,”The doctor said and Dani turned to Keira who held her hands. She could finally breathe in relief. “What about the bleeding?”She asked. Yeah, she first noticed that she had been spotting two days ago but she didn’t want Luciano to be worried so she had not said anything but while she took her bath to get ready for the hospital, she saw she was spotting again. It was even worse this time.“There is nothing to worry about. It is perfectly normal to have spotting even though it should have occurred during the first twelve weeks of pregnancy, the test and scan shows that the kids are doing fine,”The doctor explained. Dani wanted to ask something bu
Luciano dipped his hand in his pocket to bring out his phone which was ringing. He just arrived after an over ten-hour flight and was looking forward to having a long bath before he would call Danielle. He hadn’t wanted to leave but Danielle would not let him. He was jet-lagged and homesick even though he barely arrived. In all the years he has been in business, this was the first time that he genuinely didn’t want to attend a business conference. He wanted to be back home with Danielle. He checked his phone and frowned at the caller. “The both of you can go get some rest, we have a lot to do tomorrow,”He told his assistants that came with him for the trip. Christian couldn’t make it because his wife went into early labor so Luciano had come alone with just his assistants. He knew that in a few months, he would be in Christian’s shoes too and he was looking forward to it. Earlier when he felt their movement, he felt so alive. He couldn’t wait to meet his little ones.“Yes, sir,”Bot
