I felt like I had been punched in the gut. A vampire? Luca was a vampire?
I tried to step back, but my feet seemed rooted to the spot. Luca's eyes gleamed with amusement, and he took a step closer to me.
"Don't be afraid, Sophia," he said, his voice low and husky. "I won't hurt you. I promise."
I swallowed hard, trying to process what was happening. A vampire? It was impossible. And yet, here I was, face to face with one.
Luca's eyes seemed to bore into mine, and I felt a shiver run down my spine. He was so close, his breath whispering against my skin.
And then, without thinking, I leaned forward. Our lips met in a burst of heat and passion, and I felt like I was melting into his arms.
It was like nothing I had ever experienced before. The world around us seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of us, lost in the moment.
As we kissed, I felt a strange sensation, like my heart was beating in time with Luca's. It was as if we were connected, our very souls entwined.
And then, just as suddenly as it had begun, the kiss was over. Luca pulled back, his eyes gleaming with desire.
"I've been waiting for that for a very long time," he said, his voice low and husky.
I felt a blush rise to my cheeks, and I looked away, trying to process what had just happened.
