I went back and handed her the water before sitting down beside her. I couldn’t look away.

“Thank you,” Luce murmured and gulped down her water. She looked a little torn for a second and then asked. “Does Bianca live in the building?”

I did my hardest to suppress my smile. “No. Verona does. Bianca came with us because they are having a sleepover.” Then I couldn’t help but add. “She has her own apartment but stays here a lot.”

“Here or at Verona’s?”

God, I loved this way too much. “Both,” I answered. It was so clear that she was jealous of Bianca. I could tell from her glares towards her during the dinner. It was the funniest thing, but I enjoyed it. Luce was so good at guarding her emotions, and I loved it when she couldn’t hide that jealousy.

“You are really close.”

“We are. I told you she was my best friend.”

“Yeah,” she said like it annoyed her. “It is different to hear about it than seeing it.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know.” She huffed and drank more water. “It is just she is so pretty.”

“She is,” I said and was immediately shot by Luce’s murderous gaze. I couldn’t keep back my laugh. “What? It is the truth.”

Her eyes narrowed on me with hatred and anger. “You are even annoying when I am drunk.”

“Well, she is not prettier than you.”

“That is a weak attempt.”

“Luce,” I said with a soft voice. I didn’t consider the voices in my head. I didn’t consider how a real man should act right now. It was like her drunk state gave me some courage. “No one is more beautiful to me than you.”

For a second, her whole body softened, but then she pulled back. “I don’t believe you.”

I still found her cute. “I am telling the truth. We promised to be honest, remember?”

“We did,” she said, looking like she was talking more to herself than me. But then her eyes brown eyes came to mine with a shine in them. “Tell me the piercing story.”

“What?”

Her body came close to mine, and her chest pressed to my arm. My cock jumped at her closeness, but I ignored it as she spoke to me. “We promised to be honest, so you have to tell me. What was the piercing story you laughed about?”

I was actually confused. “You really didn’t understand?”

“No. You said it wasn’t your nipple piercing.” She touched my earring. “Was it this one?”

“No. It is the other one,” I said, raising my eyebrows. I thought it was apparent.

Luce looked confused. She put her hands on my shoulders, and her eyes wandered to my face. She was so close that I had a hard time not kissing her. “You don’t have any other piercings. I would have noticed.”

“You really don’t know?” How was that even possible?

She shook her head, looking genuine.

God, I actually threw my head back and laughed. Then I put my hands on Luce’s hips and pulled her until she was straddling me. She let me in her confused state, and I said, “You had that piercing inside you, Kitty.”

Her eyes widened slowly, and she looked down. She didn’t even look mad that I pulled her over my hard dick. “Oh my god! You have a piercing there?”

“Yes, and I am honestly shocked how you didn’t realize it.”

She got a distant look. “I mean, I remember it felt different, but I thought it was because it was so big.” Just when I got a big smile and ready to tease her about those words she would probably never say when she was sober, Luce’s eyes widened, and she asked, “And Bianca gave you that piercing?”
