Their lips met, slowly, as if they both wanted to savor every second.

The kiss stretched on, neither willing to be the first to pull away, knowing a whole week apart loomed ahead. When they finally parted, Luca rested his forehead against hers, a playful smirk curving his mouth.

"Practice is paying off. Your kisses are getting dangerously good."

Naomi felt heat rush to her cheeks.

"You know you’re annoying, right?"

"Very much so."

"Hmph..."

She couldn’t fight her smile any longer. Naomi slid her arms around his neck and drew him back in. This kiss was different... deeper, hungrier, filled with intense emotions and desire.

Luca lifted her effortlessly without breaking contact. Naomi wrapped her legs around his waist, clinging to him as the kiss grew more urgent. Clothes slipped away piece by piece, abandoned on the floor. Soon the quiet villa filled with nothing but their ragged breathing and soft, muffled moans.

Outside, city lights glittered under the vast night sky, but inside, the rest of the world had already vanished.

He carried her to the bedroom, their mouths still fused. When he laid her on the bed, Naomi pulled him down on top of her, craving his weight, his heat. Luca’s hands explored her body with purpose... cupping her breasts, thumbs brushing over her hardened nipples until she arched into him. He kissed down her neck, sucking lightly at the sensitive spot that always made her gasp.

’God, I need him...’

Luca positioned himself between her thighs, his cock hard and throbbing against her slick entrance. He pushed in slowly at first, inch by inch, letting her feel every thick ridge as he stretched her open. Naomi moaned loudly, her nails digging into his back.

"Luca..." she breathed.

He sank deeper, burying himself to the hilt with a low groan. Then he began to move... long, powerful strokes that rocked her entire body. Each thrust was deliberate and deep, hitting that perfect spot inside her over and over. The sound of skin meeting skin mixed with her rising cries and his heavy breathing. Naomi’s legs tightened around his waist, heels pressing into his lower back as she urged him even deeper.

"You feel so good," he growled against her ear.

"Uhhh... Yess... More... More!!" Naomi moaned as Luca strokes progressively increased in pace.

He went harder, hips snapping forward in a steady, relentless rhythm. Naomi’s moans turned into desperate whimpers, her inner walls clenching around him as pleasure coiled tighter and tighter.

"Luca....."

She came first, crying out his name as waves of intense release crashed through her, her body trembling beneath him.

Luca didn’t stop. He kept driving into her through her orgasm, chasing his own. A few more deep, punishing thrusts and he buried himself fully, groaning as he spilled inside her, pulsing with every spurt.

They stayed locked together for a long moment, breathing hard, skin slick with sweat. Eventually he rolled to the side and pulled her against his chest, pressing a tender kiss to her forehead.

Several hours later the villa had fallen completely silent. Moonlight filtered softly through the bedroom curtains, bathing the room in a gentle glow while the two of them slept peacefully in each other’s arms.

The next morning...

Warm sunlight filtered through the curtains.

Luca slowly opened his eyes.

The space beside him was empty, but the faint scent of Naomi’s perfume still lingered on the pillow.

A moment later, he heard running water coming from the bathroom.

She was already getting ready for her flight.

A few minutes later, the shower stopped.

The bathroom door opened, and Naomi stepped out wearing a fresh outfit for the journey. Her long hair was still slightly damp, tiny droplets of water catching the morning light.

Luca couldn’t help smiling.

"Good morning."

Naomi looked over and smiled back.

"Morning."

His eyes swept over her for a moment before he grinned.

"You somehow look even prettier than you did yesterday."

Naomi paused, a faint blush blooming across her cheeks.

"Are you seriously complimenting me after last night?"

"I don’t see why not."

"You..."

She shook her head, unable to suppress a smile.

"You really are shameless."

Luca laughed, walked over, and gently wrapped an arm around her waist.

"Come here."

Before she could protest, he leaned down and kissed her once more.

A warm, gentle, and affectionate kiss.

When they finally separated, Naomi rested her forehead lightly against his chest.

"I really have to go now."

"Otherwise I’ll miss my flight."

"I’ll get ready."

Not long afterward, the two of them left the villa together.

By the time they arrived at the airport, they had plenty of time before boarding.

Naomi’s manager was already waiting near the airline check-in counters.

"I should head over," Naomi said softly.

Luca nodded.

"I’ll walk you there."

They made their way through the bustling terminal side by side until they reached the security entrance.

The boarding announcement soon echoed throughout the departure hall.

Naomi turned toward him.

"I’ll be back before you know it."

Luca smiled.

"I’ll hold you to that."

She stepped closer and wrapped her arms around him one last time.

After a brief embrace, Luca gently kissed her forehead before stealing one last kiss from her lips.

"Don’t miss me too much while you’re away."

Naomi laughed.

"No promises."

With one last lingering glance, she turned and hurried toward her manager.

Luca remained where he was until she disappeared into the boarding area.

Only then did he quietly leave the terminal.

Three days later Back at the villa, Luca had already buried himself in work.

It didn’t take too long before he got bored again.

He had considered calling Naomi but it crossed his mind that she was probably busy with meetings and interviews and wouldn’t be free till late at night where she’d probably want to sleep.

Just then, his phone buzzed.

A new message appeared on the screen.

Amelia Grant.

Luca raised an eyebrow before tapping the notification open, his curiosity piqued.
