Chapter 171


    Sofia’s POV


    “What’s this huge bruise beside your throat?” She whispered in a low voice and I blinked at her slowly,


    before my mouth fell open in the next second. I lifted my hand and pped it against the side of my


    throat as realization started to dawn on me.


    The hickey fromst night… the damn bite to the side of my neck…


    Wait a second…


    That was probably what Ryan had noticed at the side of my neck back there in the hallway…


    Oh my gosh… can the ground open up this instant and swallow me up at this very moment?


    “It’s nothing,” I breathed out after a few more seconds, turning around and pushing myself to my feet


    almost immediately, and then I turned around to stare at Matilda. Matilda was still staring pointedly at


    the side of my neck which was currently being covered by my hand. I watched as a bright glint made its


    way into her eyes before I could blink.


    “It doesn''t look like anything though, it looks so much like a love bite.” Matilda continued to speak and I


    started to pull my hair out of the bun which I had ced it in this morning. Assuming I hadn’t packed my


    hair up into a bun, it wouldn’t have been obvious one bit… to think I didn’t even notice that mark this


    morning.


    “I’m gonna go…” I started to say as I made my way around the chair and started to make my way past


    Matilda who currently had a smug look on her face at the moment.


    “What do you want me to prepare for you this morning though?” She asked before I could make my


    way out of the sitting room and I paused at the entrance and turned my head back around to stare at


    her.


    “Anything is fine with me.” I said to get before disappearing out of the sitting room and made my way up


    the stairs, into the bedroom. I let myself into the bathroom and lifted my hair in my left hand before


    baring the side of my neck where Luca had ced so much attention onst night. My mouth fell open


    as soon as I took in the way my throat looked.


    It oooked really bad.


    I meant bad like, bruised up bad, coupled with the fact that there was a little hand mark which came


    from the chokehold he had me in for a little bit. I lifted my finger and pressed it to the side of my neck,


    winging a little because it had hurt a little.


    I could remember when Luca had pressed his hand into that particr spotst night, and how it had


    sent so much pleasure washing over my body right there on the counter.


    To think I hadn’t even thought anything was going to happen between the both of usst night, except


    perhaps to cuddle. And then all that had ended up happening, was something I never sawing. I


    mean, I knew I had anticipated being kissed once against night, after receiving my first real kiss from


    him the day before yesterday.


    What I had ended up receiving after he hade taken me away from Sarah and Matilda all the way


    upstairs, and then he had kissed me really deeply and soundly for me to forget everything and anything


    in that particr moment.


    I shook my head and wet my hand a little before tapping the side of my neck with my wet hand, before


    dckstumgbtbe bathroom and making my way into the walk-in closet. I changed out of the top I had on


    and got into a big shirt, and then I allowed my hair to drop down around me, to be able to conceal the


    sides of my neck from preying eyes.


    I made my way out of the bedroom after some time, because my stomach had started to growl once


    again, and I couldn’t ignore the fact that I was hungry sny longer. I made my way into the kitchen and


    flipped into one of the high chairs, exchanging a few words with Sarah and Matilda, and then I started


    to tell them a few things about the wedding party which I attended with Luca the previous night.


    I had started to talk to them about the girl I metst night and even gotta talk to and get friendly with,


    just as Matilda ced a te of spaghetti before me. I was about to dig into it when my phone vibrated


    a little beside my arm, and I picked it up instantly because it was very unusual for it to vibrate or ring


    out.


    It turns out to be a text from Ka and a bright grin broke out on my face the next moment.


    She had indeed ended up keeping to her promise and I was really pleased about that. I clicked on the


    message and ghosted my eyes over it really fast, and then I typed in a reply and ced the phone


    back down on the counter after a few minutes.


    Once I was done with the meal, I left the kitchen for the sitting room and decided to continue with the


    Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    YouTube videos which were going to help with my painting handiwork. I was hoping I wouldn’t end up


    running into Ryan oring across him throughout today at least, after the embarrassing moment


    which I had once again ended up passing through in his presence, had literally taken ce some hours


    ago.


    After a few hours had passed and I had ended up seeing a lot of other videos, I made my way into the


    painting room and decided to quickly paint down what I had just learnt. It ended uping out a little


    bit better than I had excepted it to, which I was really d about.


    Ka and I ended up texting back and forth almost throughout the whole of today and Ka was just


    as forward and open on text, as she was in personst night. She was so eager to talk about her


    marriage and husband, while I was theplete opposite, because I was most times at a loss for


    words and wouldn’t know what to say most times, because there was still a whole lot of things that I


    didn’t know about him yet.


    A part of me was hoping after the outing we both went tost night, that things would get better


    between us a lot, and that we’d both get to know each more along the line as well.


    Once evening time came, and I was alone in the sitting room, my mind had decided to go back to what


    had happened between Luca and I on the counter, and how I hadpletely be a whole different


    person at that very moment.


    I never knew I could produce those kinds of sounds, nor did I know I could feel those kinds of thighs


    which I feltst night. It had felt like my whole body was on fire and I had been literally burning for his


    touch. He had kissed me so deeply and perfectly… and when he had started to bite the side of my ear,


    and to suck on a part of my throat, it had felt like a dam had chosen that particr moment to break


    open in the lowest part of my stomach.


    I could still remember how he had ordered me to ce my hand behind me on tne counter, after taking


    the top of my gown off. I could remember him licking at my nipples and sending an electric zing through


    my spine in that particr moment, and when he had proceeded to suck my nipple into his mouth, I


    had felt like one of the characters which I had read in one of my erotic books ever since I was thirteen


    years old.


    When he had decided to pour the drink over my chest, I had gonepletely crazy at that particr


    moment. One moment, I was scared of getting married to him, scared of living alone with him, scared


    of sleeping in tne same bed with him, scared of him forcing himself on me and taking my virginity,


    scared of being a wife to him, because it would automatically mean I have to do whatever he tells me


    to, scared of him in particr… and the next moment, I was findingfort around him, and was


    finding it super easy to fall asleep in his warm andfortable arms, I was finding him super attractive


    and hot, and I was looking forward to being kissed by him after the first time he had kissed me, after


    asking for consent first.


    It had felt so intense when he had done all those things up me on tne counter and I had almost


    protested when he started to pull my cloth back up to cover my chest before taking a step away from


    me. I hadn’t wanted him to stop at all, I had wanted him to continue… and that had been what had


    scared me the most, because it hadpletely taken me off guard in that particr moment.


    Now, at this moment… I couldn’t wait for him to get back home, I couldn’t wait to sit with him and eat


    dinner with him as well.


    And perhaps, he''d decide to kiss me tonight, because he could kiss so well, and I loved every part of


    it… even though he was like the first actual kiss I had ever gotten in my life, which automatically means


    I didn’t have anything else topare it to.


    I breathed out a deep breath and carded my fingers through my hair, I couldn’t wait for him to get back


    home tonight.
