Undeniably Claimed

Chapter 32: Lean on Me

Turning over, I smile finding Luca sprawled out on the bed on his stomach. His arm still laying over my side. My fingers tracing the contours of his face stopping briefly on his lips. I couldn't help but grin biting my lip thinking about last night. He really is a passionate man... and dominant.

She leaned forward kissing his shoulder. Still fast asleep, his lips twitch almost into a smile. Her smile not fading as carefully moves his arm away and saunters out of the bed. Stretching her arms while doing so. She walks over to the ensuite bathroom to brush her teeth. Once done with that, she reaches for the brush and begins getting the knots out from the previous night. The brush once again showing how much of her hair is coming out. Her eyes fixated on the loss hair and her good mood crumbles due to it. She sighs sitting the brush to the side. 

"What's wrong Tesoro?"

She jumps turning around finding Luca leaning against the door with crossed arms. His bare torso capturing her attention for more than a minute. Her eyes finally meet his to find a familiar smirk playing on his lips. His smirk drops though finding her eyes holding tears. He steps quickly to her when she turns to glance at the brush. His eyes following the movement and he silently understands. He pulls her into his arms and hugs her for a moment before pulling back to cup her cheeks. Her tears barely being held back. 

"Your hair doesn't make you who are you love..."

"I love it though" she says shakily. He pulls her back into his chest where she hugs him tightly allowing her sorrow finally spill over. 

No one truly understands how it feels to loose something as simple as hair until it happens and not by choice. She's went through this before and knew it would happen but she wasn't sure how quickly it would start. Every time she looks at the brush, it's just a reminder that it's out of her control. That she has to give it up to be able to battle for her life. 

"Listen closely to me love" he says lowly against the shell of her ear. "Hair or not, you will still be the most beautiful woman to me... The woman I love."

She lifts her eyes to look into his and can see that he truly believes that. His stare daring her to argue. She nods silently trying to calm her emotions down. Her forehead resting against his chest. "This is going to be hard Luca."

"Then I'll have enough strength for both of us." His lips kissing her head making her smile happy to have someone like him. 

He steps back taking her hands and tugging her to the shower. She bites her lip allowing him to guide her to the shower. His hands reaching for the bottom of the shirt she threw on at some point last night. She lifts her arms allowing it come off with ease leaving her bare to him. She watches him silently as he drops his boxers before taking her hands again and getting in the glass shower closing the door behind them. She watches him as he reaches around her back turning on the hot water. The heat instantly relaxing her muscles as it ran down her body. 

Her eyes closed as she leaned her head back running her fingers through her hair. She freezes feeling Luca's warm fingers running from her sides to wrap around her back. His bare front pressing to hers and his prominent hard on pressing against her lower stomach. She tilts her head up opening her eyes to find his lust filled eyes already set on her. Her hands release her hair to run up his arms locking around his neck. 

"I love you tesoro"

She gets on her tip toes to connect their lips. It began sweet but turned passionate and heated very quickly. Her fingers running through his locks. A growl escapes his lips as she applies pressure to his scalp. His hands move quickly to her thighs before he holsters her up pressing her to the wall. She whimpers from the contact before his mouth lands swiftly on hers instantly heating her body in more ways than one.
