"That's a big city?"
"Yes and no."
"The area is big, but DC itself is small. And like here, everyone knows everyone," I tell him quickly, not wanting to really dive into my childhood. Based on the few things he's mentioned, it sounds like his family is close—the complete opposite of mine.
Before either of us can say anything else, the waiter interrupts us dropping off our food and drinks. My mouth waters at how good the food looks.
"Ladies first," Luca says, handing me a plate.
Taking it, I begin to dish up my fajitas, ready to dive in. I wait patiently, taking a sip of my margarita while I watch as Luca makes his plate. After he finishes, we both begin to eat. I take a bite, closing my eyes, and I can't help but groan.Fuck, that is so good.
When I open my eyes, Luca is staring at me with his jaw open.
"What?"
"You can't just make noises like that."
"What noises?"
"Those groans." His voice drops. "They're too fucking sexy. It makes me hard."
I can't help but feel the heat rise in my cheeks and I'm sure they're real red too. Too embarrassed to reply I take another bite of my fajita. Thankfully, Luca doesn't say anything else as we both eat in a comfortable silence. When I'm near him, it feels like we've known each other for a while instead of just meeting two days ago. I've never experienced this with anyone else.
Dinner goes by too fast and before I know it, the night is over. When we leave the restaurant, Luca stops us on one of the balconies the resort has that overlooks the ocean. "This spot is my favorite," I whisper while sitting down on one of the loungers, my gaze staying on the ocean.
"Mine too," Luca mutters. I see him sit down on the lounger next to me. "Though there are a few other places outside of the resort that are even more beautiful."
"I would love to see that," I tell him, my gaze moving toward him.
He smiles at my response, jumping up from his lounger. "Great. I don't have to work tomorrow so I'll pick you up at 11 a.m."
"Where are we going?"
"It's a surprise," he tells me, giving me a wink.
"Well, how do I know what to wear?" I ask him, batting my lashes at him.
"Shorts, a T-shirt, and a bathing suit underneath. You know, just in case," he whispers against my lips before giving me a chaste kiss. "I'll see you tomorrow. Good night."
"Good night," I mutter. I watch Luca walk away, not being able to keep my gaze off his hot ass.
Chapter 13
Luca
Last night I could tell that Diana was nervous, so I made sure that I kept the date light. Making sure to keep the pressure off physically and using the time to get to know more about her. She didn't talk much when I asked about her family, always trying to redirect the question to something else, which kind of made me sad. Maybe one day she'll tell me more, and I can help heal whatever she's got going on.
Today, though, is going to be all about fun. I can't wait to show her how it's done here in Los Cabos.
When I pull up in front of the resort, Diana is already waiting for me and if I thought she was gorgeous in her summer dress, man, she looks like a fucking wet dream in what she's wearingnow. She's standing in cutoff jeans, a white tank top, and I can even see her navy bikini underneath.
Smiling, she steps away from the entrance walking down to meet me at the car. Pulling her sunglasses out of her purse, she places them on her face. When she reaches my car, she leans in. "Hey, sexy. Can I get a ride?"
I pretend, acting as if I'm thinking about it as I take her in. "You know, anyone that looks as hot as you can always ride in my car."
Diana pulls open the passenger door and climbs in, asking, "Do you always allow anyone who you think is hot in your car?"
"Only you," I say. Leaning over, I press a chaste kiss against her lips.
