Chapter 181

• Luca’s POV
• I leaned down and loosened my hold on her hair to slide it down her back, until my hand was gripping her thigh. I did the same with my other hand and once both my hands were on the same spots around her bare thighs – because she was currently in a small skirt, and I lifted her up in a single move.
• She was startled at first, a small sound sliding out of her lips as her hands made to grasp at my shoulders, just as I tugged her thighs around my ribs and sides, so she’d be a head higher than I was in this position, and she stared down at me with wide eyes and parted lips, her hands holding tightly to my throat.
