“That’s very presumptuous, Mr. Vittori,” I tease.
“I’m a very powerful man, Ms. Jenkins. I could make it happen.”
I tap my mouth with my finger. “Hmmmm, well, since I love you so much, I guess I could agree to that.”
Luca tips his head back in laughter before kissing me deeply. And when he pulls away, he utters, “Well, since I love you even more, I think that sounds like a deal.”
He then ushers me into the shower, sets out a fresh towel for me, shoots me one last wink, and joins Sebastian, Enzo, and Dante in my room. Taking a few minutes to myself, I stand under the hot stream, running my hands over my body as I try to memorize their every touch. Only when the water starts to run cool do I quickly lather myself and turn it off.
When I get out of the shower, I wipe the condensation from the mirror to, in fact, find a whole new Josephine Jenkins staring back at me.
And I’m so happy to finally meet her.
