Chapter 52

Riccardo's POV.

I almost panicked when we got to Emilia's salon and I saw the closed sign but I was able to calm myself down a bit when I saw that the guys I had positioned outside her salon were still there. I walked into the salon and was immediately welcomed by Aria's puppy. It kept barking and wagging his tail and I ended up giving the poor puppy the attention it clearly wanted. I picked it up and ruffled its fur.

"Hey." Emilia's voice pulled my attention away from the puppy and to her.

My heart did something funny and strange when I laid my eyes on her. I don't know why my chest was feeling strange but she looked so goddamn beautiful that it made my heart hurt. Her hair was still tied in that messy ponytail that she tied it in this morning because I was too busy devouring her and we ended up taking up most of the time she was supposed to use to get ready.

She looked breathtaking and I needed to kiss her. Acting on that need, I walked closer to her and pulled her in for a kiss
