Mia’s pov I held my head high and turned sideways, posing for the flashes of cameras all going off at once. Lorenzo was standing beside me, hand around my waist.After a few moments, we were ushered into the large venue and were escorted to our seats. Lorenzo grabbed the champagne on the table and glanced at me with his brow arched and color filled my cheeks as I averted my gaze.Lorenzo had informed me of this particular gathering two night ago. It was a birthday party of a mafia lord, one who has been in the game for years. A lot of mafia lords got invites to the party and Lorenzo had said he was only attending because he and the birthday celebrant are kind of an ally.I glanced around the entire place while shifting in my seat, the hall was starting to get filled up even more. I could sight Lorenzo’s bodyguards amongst the long rows of bodyguards all positioned in a way that would make them blend in to people who weren’t in this mafia world, or haven’t spent their entire li

Lorenzo’s pov I stared down at my drink with a scowl dancing across my face. Since the moment I stepped into this club, my bad mood had only manage to keep increasing because not only was I not in the mood for this right now, I’d also rather back at home right now with Mia.But I was currently mad at her.The scowl on my face darkened and I reached for my drink and downed it at once, fingers taking through my hair. I glanced around the club, noting how bubbly everywhere looked. Not all these people knew this club belonged to me, which is for the best if not, they’d all be stiff in discomfort if they had been aware.I could feel a lot of interested eyes on me. A few bold women had even approached me but I had kept dismissing them one after the other, because that’s the last thing I wanted to do right now.The look on Mia’s face when she had been speaking to me, it was imprinted at the front of my mind and I was certain I wouldn’t be forgetting it soon. That look had made th

Lorenzo’s pov “How excited are you?” I asked her as i nuzzled into the spot underneath her chin. She let out a breathy giggle as she tried to squirm out of my arms.“Very excited!” She gushed out and then she was gasping through laughter when i began to tickle her sides.I finally let her go and she instantly rolled to the other side of the bed while trying to catch her breath.“How excited on a scale of one to ten?” I asked as I folded my arms under my head. She perked up at once as she responded.“A hundred!” She responded and I snorted before nodding towards the closet. “Go get dressed then.”“A week has passed since anything major happened and I decided it’s high time I took her out on another date because why the hell not? Seeing how she enjoyed our last date, I was a hundred percent certain that she’d like to go on another date with me.And so I spent time putting an entire day together and throwing in a bunch of things which I’d like us to do together and have fun throu

Mia’s pov I’ve been unable to stop smiling every few minutes because I’ve never felt this happy and free in a really long while. Lorenzo was setting out our food on the top of his car, and as I watched him work, I felt so many emotions blossoming in my heart.It wasn’t ordinary, regular emotions.It was love.I was certainly in love with him at this point.I wasn’t sure of how it had actually happened, but as I stare at him right now, I knew within my heart, that I had fallen in love with him. That thought made my heartbeat to quicken erratically and I tried to slow it down, reminding myself that there’s absolutely no need for me to start panicking unnecessarily right now.Lorenzo glanced down at me and waved at the laid out food.“It’s all set now.” He informed me and s grin stretched out on my face at once. I accepted his hand and he pulled me on top of the car at once.The car was currently parked by the beach, and Lorenzo had suggested we eat on the top of the car instea

Mia’s pov I was dreaming of Lorenzo pressing kisses against my eyes blinked then open, or perhaps I had been half awake for a while now. As I stared into Lorenzo’s eyes, I felt my heart start to race and thump against the side of my chest as emotions began to flood through every inch of my insides at once. When I moved a little, I realized that Lorenzo was holding my around my waist, with me lying halfway atop his chest. I let out a small yawn and massaged my eyes a little.There was significant softness in his eyes as he took all of me in. I could feel his hands massaging the joints around my lower back and hips and it took a few moments for all that went down between us last night to crash down on me at once. My mouth fell open for a few seconds but nothing was able to come out. It was like Lorenzo understood what was going through my head right now because an amused look settled on his face. I ducked my face as I felt it darken with color but when I made to roll off his
