Chapter 39

Amber lay beneath the sheets, her heart racing as she felt the weight of Luca’s body pressing down on hers. The room was thick with heat, charged with unspoken tension. His presence was both intoxicating and terrifying, and she found herself caught in a whirlwind of conflicting emotions.

Luca hovered above her, his body radiating warmth as he leaned closer, the intoxicating scent of him enveloping her senses. Amber could feel his breath against her skin, hot and urgent, stirring a longing deep within her. But she couldn’t let herself succumb—not now, not when the stakes were so high.

She wriggled beneath him, attempting to shift away, but he was relentless, his grip firm around her wrists as he pinned them above her head. The sheets twisted around her legs, trapping her in a cocoon of vulnerability. Luca's gaze burned into hers, a storm of desire and determination swirling in those dark depths.

As she squirmed beneath him, the weight of his body pressed her down into the mattress, creating a delicious friction that sent shivers through her. She felt the heat pooling in her core, her body betraying her as every instinct screamed to give in to him. But she fought against the rising tide, her heart pounding in her chest.

“Stop,” she wanted to say, but the words caught in her throat as he leaned in closer, his lips tantalizingly close to hers, their breath mingling in the charged air. She twisted her body, trying to escape his grasp, but Luca only tightened his hold, his powerful frame enveloping her completely.

With a low, primal growl, he leaned into her, brushing his lips against her neck. The sensation was electric, igniting her skin with an unquenchable fire. Amber’s body responded instinctively, arching towards him even as her mind screamed for her to resist. She felt the heat radiating off him, a palpable force that wrapped around her like a vise.

The sheets slipped down her arms as she struggled, but he expertly maneuvered her back, his strong thighs pinning her legs beneath him. She could feel the tension in his muscles, the way he held her captive with both strength and gentleness, an intoxicating combination that sent her senses reeling.

With a sudden shift, he rolled her onto her side, wrapping his arms around her waist, pulling her back against him as he nuzzled into her neck. Amber felt his breath against her skin, warm and inviting, drawing her deeper into his embrace. Panic flared inside her as she felt the boundaries of their past beginning to blur in the heat of the moment.

Desperate to regain control, she twisted her body, trying to push away from him, but he was relentless, his grip tightening as he held her close. The fabric of her nightgown clung to her body, and she could feel every inch of him pressed against her. Luca's hands slid down her arms, tracing the curves of her body with a hunger that sent shivers racing down her spine.

“God,” she thought, her mind spinning as she fought to regain her composure. The sensation of his skin against hers was overwhelming, igniting a fire that consumed her from the inside out.

Luca pressed his hips against her, and she felt his arousal—hard and demanding—pushing against her. Her breath hitched in her throat as her body instinctively responded to him, craving the intimacy she had denied herself for so long.

But she couldn’t let herself give in. Not when everything was at stake. With a sudden surge of determination, she shoved back against him, trying to create space between them, to break free from the intoxicating pull he had on her.

Luca let out a low chuckle, a sound that sent waves of heat racing through her. “You think you can get away?” he seemed to say with his eyes, the smirk on his lips betraying the raw hunger that simmered beneath the surface.

He rolled her back onto her back, his body hovering above hers once more, the heat from him pressing her deeper into the mattress. Amber’s heart raced as she felt the intensity of his desire, the way it enveloped her like a heavy fog. She was drowning in it, and every instinct told her to surrender, to give in to the fire that burned between them.

But she fought against it, twisting her hips as she attempted to break free once more. The movement sent sparks of sensation coursing through her, a raw, primal ache that left her breathless. “You can’t do this,” she thought frantically, her mind racing as her body betrayed her with every lingering caress.

Luca’s grip on her tightened, his hands moving down her body, trailing over her curves with an urgency that made her moan softly. She could feel his heart pounding against her chest, echoing her own frantic rhythm. Each touch ignited her skin, a fire that consumed her thoughts, leaving only pure, unfiltered desire.

The struggle between them intensified, a dance of need and resistance. Amber squirmed beneath him, her body arching towards his even as she fought to escape. It was a deliciously torturous game, one that left her breathless and yearning for more.

Suddenly, in a swift movement, Luca reached for the belt of the sheet, deftly tying her wrists together above her head. Amber gasped, her eyes wide with surprise as she realized he had trapped her. She pulled against the restraints, but he was unyielding, his body pressing harder against hers, the heat from his skin igniting her every nerve ending.

With a low, primal growl, he leaned into her again, his lips brushing against her neck, sending shockwaves of pleasure through her. The sensation was electric, igniting her skin and heightening her longing. Amber moaned softly, the sound escaping her lips before she could stifle it, a testament to her body's betrayal.

“God, stop,” she thought, but the words never made it past her lips as he captured her gaze, his eyes dark and hungry. Each kiss ignited a fire within her, a longing that threatened to consume her whole.

As he continued to explore her skin with his lips, he slipped his hands down her sides, tracing the curves of her body with an agonizing slowness that drove her wild. She felt every brush of his fingers, each caress igniting flames that spread through her body, leaving her breathless and yearning for more.

Amber's body responded instinctively, arching towards him, but she fought against the tide, her heart pounding in her chest. The struggle was intoxicating, a whirlwind of passion and desire that left her dizzy.

With a sudden surge of strength, she twisted her body, trying to escape, but Luca’s grip was firm, his powerful frame holding her captive. She felt the fabric of her nightgown slip against her skin as he maneuvered her back, binding her in a way that was both thrilling and terrifying.

His mouth found her collarbone, brushing against her skin in a way that made her entire body quiver. Each kiss was a spark, pulling her deeper into the intoxicating haze of their desire. She could feel the weight of him above her, his body hard and unyielding, a force of nature that left her feeling both vulnerable and exhilarated.

But the fire between them was a double-edged sword. Every kiss, every brush of his lips against her skin, only intensified her need to escape. “I can’t,” she thought frantically, her mind racing as her body betrayed her with every lingering caress.

With renewed determination, she pushed against him, trying to break free, but Luca was a force of nature, relentless and demanding. He captured her lips with his once more, the kiss fierce and demanding. Amber gasped against him, her body arching towards him, craving the intimacy she had tried so hard to deny.

The taste of him was intoxicating, a heady mix of longing and desperation that left her dizzy.
But Luca only pressed harder against her, his strength overwhelming as he captured her again, his lips claiming hers in a passionate embrace that left her breathless.

Amber felt the fight within her begin to wane, and yet there was something that wouldn’t stop hurting her, wouldn’t stop her from showing the hard bitter truth. “She had been his mistress once. She would never let that label on her ever again!’
