I fucking started crying.
“Val,” she said with a worried voice and came over to me in a second. “Are you okay?”
“Yes,” I answered automatically. Tears were leaving my eyes. I couldn’t control it. I looked down at the lace covering her body in the most tantalizing way. “Oh, my god. I cannot believe I am crying while you look like that.”
She chuckled, but I could hear her worry still there. “That is okay. Why are you crying?”
I rubbed away the tears from my eyes and inhaled deeply. When I was able to see Luce’s face clearly, I blurted out, “Elsie called me daddy.”
Luce’s eyes softened impossibly. “She did?”
“Yeah.” I blew a breath and chuckled at my situation. “Fuck, sorry. I was just not expecting it.”
“It is okay,” Luce nodded and looked at me with tears in her own eyes. “I am not surprised. She loves you. It is normal that she accepts you so soon. You are amazing.”
Hearing such things from Luce was nothing ordinary. She only added to the overwhelming feelings, but still, I felt a bit better. My chest felt so tight, but it was okay. I could bear the pain from happiness.
“Valerio,” Luce said, cupping my face. Her pretty eyes came to mine, and I actually breathed a bit better.
“Yes?” I wrapped my arms around her. Having her close actually helped with everything.
Then she softly said those words. “I love you.”
I lost the ability to breathe again. “You are trying to kill me,” I said mockingly. Why the fuck were they giving me everything I was scared to want all my life?
Luce laughed. “Sorry,” she said, not sounding sorry at all. “I was planning to tell you after the sex. I had this all planned. I didn’t know you were going to come in here crying. I had to tell you.”
“I am glad you did,” I said. In my heart, I knew Luce loved me. I could tell by the way she looked at me when I told her that. Still hearing it from her lips felt different.
I felt like I was in a fucking dream, and no voice inside my head dared to mock me for it.
Tears were gone. I still felt too much, but I was not going to stand there and cry. This was my life now. I had a wife that loved me, and I had the sweetest daughter. Luce gave me everything, and I was going to give her everything she wanted in return.
I pulled her close, flushing our bodies together. “I love you so fucking much, Luce. You made my dreams come true.”
She looked at me smugly. “All of them?”
“Yes.”
“There is nothing else you want?”
“Absolutely not. I have you and Elsie. What else can I want?”
Luce twisted her lips. “Another child?”
Honestly, I never considered that. I would enjoy getting Luce pregnant very much, but I didn’t know if I was too excited for the parts after that. “Do you want that?”
“I cannot disagree if you want your own child, Val. You deserve that, and I want you to be happy.”
That was a soft no. She didn’t want it but would do it if I wanted to. It was funny she thought I would make her do anything she didn’t want. “Elsie is my own child, Luce. Blood means shit to me. Also, I feel like another child would just be too much work for now. I want us to have time for each other.”
“You are really amazing.”
I nodded. “I know I am.”
She pressed a soft kiss to my lips, and as she did, her front brushed mine, and I knew she could feel my semi-hard cock. I was distracted, but it didn’t matter when she was wearing that sexy outfit. My dick had a special stance when it came to Luce.
“So,” she said with narrowed eyes. “Since you have everything you want, we can just sleep.”
