Lila POVI cupped water in my hands and‍ splash‍ed it over my face again a‌nd again, as i‌f cold water co⁠u‍ld wake me from this nightmare. I wanted no, needed this to be a hal‍lucinati‍on‌. A‍ stress d‍ream. Just like the⁠ one where Nic‍o had look⁠ed at me and said he l⁠oved me.Th‍at dream had fel⁠t real too but what the hell was‍ happe⁠ning to me?I brushed my teeth until my gums ached‌, trying to scru‌b aw‍ay the sour taste of fear and bile c‍linging to the bac‍k o‍f my⁠ throat. My stomach stayed twist‍ed tight, anxiety curlin⁠g deep in my gut. Even standing under steamin‍g water, letti‌ng it beat ag⁠ainst‌ my skin, didn’t help. I couldn’t shake the dread.No matter how I twisted it, no matter how hard I searched for s‍ome hidden upside, I couldn’t fi⁠nd a single silver lining. T‌he me‍ss between N‍ico and me was too violent, too compli‍cated, too soaked i‍n b‍lood and pow‌er. There was no‌ version of this where p‌regnancy f⁠it.‍“M‌iss Lila?”My hea‌rt dropped straight into my s⁠

Lila P‍OVHe bent over‍ me suddenly⁠, his pre⁠sen‌ce blotting out the ligh⁠t, and he pre‍ssed his mouth firmly against my forehead. It wasn’t gentle and It wasn’t‌ soft. It was de‍sper⁠ate.⁠“You⁠ s⁠car⁠ed‍ the liv‍ing h‌ell out of me,” he muttered against my skin, his b⁠reath un‌even. “For a second, I thought I maybe.. but he stopped hims‍elf".A sm⁠all, weak smile curved my lips despite the pounding in‌ my head. “Wha‌t?” I teased quietly. “D‌on’t tell me you were a⁠ctually worried ab‌ou⁠t me sir?”He‍ straig‌ht⁠ened so fa‌st it was l⁠ike I’d snapped a‌ wire. “That’s n‍ot funny,” he snapped, already reaching for his jacket. In seconds, the man⁠ hovering over me w‌as gon⁠e and re‌placed by Nico Fattore, s‍harp‌, controlle⁠d and untouchable. “I’m having⁠ food broug⁠ht up.‍ A‌n‍d y‍ou are not moving from this be⁠d.

Nico POVShe stared at me with her blue eyes, and the brilliance that used to sparkle within those irises were back. “How?” she whispered softly.I stopped right in front of her, my gaze never leaving hers. “Because I was there. I had that same need inside me once.”Her eyes searched mine, her mouth parted slightly. “Nikolai. You needed revenge for Nikolai death.”I didn’t reply. I didn’t have to. The answer was already there, filling the space between us like thick smoke.She slanted her head to the side, her beautiful streaks of golden hair falling around her shoulder. “You needed revenge for your brother’s death, and that’s why you had me kidnapped. That’s why you plotted against my family because it was the only way you could break through the wall of grief. Grief that had the power to destroy you.”There was no judgement in her eyes while she spoke every word, no hostility or hatred as she figured out the motive behind the decisions I made in the past. The way she looked at me wa

Lila POV“Tell me do you still believe that death can atone for nothing?”Over and over, I imagined my father’s lifeless body. Every night that exact image was the last thing I saw when I closed my eyes. It was also the first thing I saw when I woke up. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t stop my mind from reliving those few seconds over, and over, and over again.But now, as I stood in front of a man that played such an important part in the nightmare I was forced to relive every day, the thought of him dying actually felt like it had the strength to numb the pain. Slowly, I started to replace the images of my dead father with images of a dead Doc and it made me feel stronger.“It’s time for your final verdict.” Nico pressed the nozzle of the gun against Doc forehead and he closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face, as snot spat from his nostrils.Nico released the safety of his gun, and Doc sobbed while he pissed himself. My heart hammered, but it wasn’t because of fear. It

LILA POVOh yes,” Nico started before turning back to Doc, holding his phone out toward him. “There is this issue of you being photographed collecting your payment from one of Damon men.”I narrowed my eyes and stepped slightly closer to try and see the picture Nico was referring to. Doc stared at the phone for ten seconds then started to fight against his restraints. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry, Nico. It won’t happen again. I needed the money to pay off some debts but it was a one-time deal, I fucking swear.”Oh God, Nico put his phone back in his jacket pocket, seemingly unaffected by Doc confession and begging. “Nico, please. I swear to God it won’t happen again”Nico swung his fist straight into Doc face, and I heard the distinct sound of bone breaking. I flinched, closing my eyes for two seconds. When I opened them, his face was covered in blood from a cut just above his left eye and by the way Nico jaw clenched, I knew the monster was about to come out. “Did you not lay down the oa

Lila POVAs we walked down the hall, I couldn’t help but wonder what Nico meant by saying he knew exactly what I needed. It wasn’t the first time he said it, but I’d been under the impression he meant it sexually. That he knew what I needed when it came to sex. But after he said it again this morning, I got the feeling I was wrong. He meant something else and I just couldn’t figure out what.I glanced up at him. He had that tick in his jaw again, hard lines forming across his face. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think he was feeling nervous. “Where are we going?” I looked down, staring at the wooden floors.He pulled his hand down his face, looking a little unsettled. “My father used to say it’s always better to pull the plaster right off.”Now I was getting nervous. “Okay?”He stopped in front of a door, and his intense gaze pinned me on the spot. “If you’re going to become a part of my world, I need to prepare you the best I can.”“Prepare me for what?”His eyes searched all aroun

The twins watched as the bouncer dragged the guy in the red leather jacket out the door. People were calling out all sorts of drinks for me to make, and I was thankful for the distraction. I was turning them out as fast as I could go as sweat beads gathered at the base of my neck.The bartender that was supposed to work alongside me that night didn't show, so I was drenched in sweat by the time one in the morning rolled around. I tried to get my manager to call in Jane so I could have some help, but part of me was glad he didn't. Being the only bartender meant I got one hundred percent of the tips and with being so close to having my own place to move into, I was going to need all the money I could get to furnish it.“The two of you are much quieter than your brothers,” I said. “Hard to get a word in edgewise with those three,” Nico said.“Well, would the two of you like another drink?” I asked. “What do you recommend?” Michael asked.“I make a kick-ass but, I’ll warn you, it’s fuckin

My forehead fell back down onto Lucas as my hands planted by his head. My tits were jumping in his face, teasing his lips with my nipples.“Give me one of those,” Lucas said. I moaned as his lips wrapped around my nipple. Mike pounded into my ass, jiggling my cheeks for his pleasure. I could feel Mike pulsing against my walls as my clit sought out its second round of release. My head was swirling with lust. My body was overwhelmed with the electricity coursing through it.The spark Mike voice had started was now a blazing fire, and it left my body singed as my hands curled into the bed. The three of us came together, a surge of moans, grunts, and sighs.My body quaked and contracted, milking the cum from Lucas and Mike as they poured into me. I collapsed onto Lucas as his arms wrapped around me, which pulled Mike cock from my puckered hole.Then Lucas slowly slid from between my legs as I rolled over onto the bed.We were all panting, sweating messes as I gazed up at the ceiling. What

Mike lips were on my neck in a heartbeat while Luca and Matteo undressed me. Even though Matteo was the oldest, Mike was definitely the ringleader. I was naked before Mike could get his lips wrapped around my nipple, and my knees crumpled underneath me. “Such a beautiful girl,” Mike said into my skin.Mike carried me to the bed before his lips made their way to mine, they were soft and gentle. Commanding, but in a delicate way. I knew who was in charge as Mike hands spread my legs, and soon Matteo fingers were massaging my tits.Luca hand slipped up my leg and parted my dripping folds. “You’re so fucking wet for us,” Luca said. “I wonder what you feel like.”I moaned into Mike mouth, my hands threading through his hair as Lucas began to finger me. He slid one long, dexterous digit in as my legs trembled, then quickly entered another one to stretch me. “So tight,” Lucas said.Matteo fingers pinched and pulled my nipples, caressing them to pert little peaks. I could hear zippers coming

“I shouldn’t be drinking at work,” I said, giggling.“Oh, I like that sound,” mike said. “Do it again.”Do what?” I asked, giggling.“That. That devilish little giggle. It suits you,” mike said.“I’d rather hear other sounds drip from those lips.”Matteo words sent shivers down my spine.Fuck.Were we thinking about the same thing? It was clear that at least. Matteo was. And I’d fuck the shit out of him. I’d sit on his beautiful lips an wrap my hands in his hair. I’d ride his face until I came and then let him take me on any surface he fucking wanted.“Question,” Lucas said.“What’s up?” I asked.“Since you’re a little loosened up, and I’m a bit curious as to that blush rising in your cheeks, which one of us are you currently thinking about?”“Good question, brother,” Matteo said.“I’d be interested in hearing, too,” Mike said.“What?” I asked, my mouth suddenly going dry.Come on, now. Don’t hold back on us. You can trust us. We won’t get upset,” Lucas said.“No, no. It’s not that. It’

Even as I stood behind the bar serving drinks, I couldn’t get my mind off the warehouse. Sofia and I had gone to see it the day before, and it had been better than the pictures portrayed it to be. Plenty of space, with rooms on the inside already divided by walls.The loft upstairs spanned the entire length and width of the building, which gave me over three thousand square feet of space to set up a new home for myself.I could see everything as I walked into that place: the themed rooms with different sets of outfits, a room where Sofia and I could work on fixing up other people’s items, a shoe room, and a boot room.We could set up a denim room and a leather room, and another room for women’s nightgowns and extras to spice up their hookups and shit. It made me both thrilled and impatient for this new venture ahead.And putting an offer in on the place meant I was one step closer to my dream.We told the realtor of offer we wanted to put on the place: ten thousand below the asking pr

“Sofia, I’m not fighting with you on this. That’s my home, and the business money isn’t gonna fix up my new home. End of story,” I said.“Fine. I take it this is the place you want to put an offer on?”“I mean I want to go check it out tomorrow with you but, if all goes well, then yeah. I think it’s pretty damn perfect.”“Well, pick one to have on the back burner in case this one falls through. You know, so we aren’t starting at square one,” she said.“Well, considering that it’s been boarded up for four years, I don’t think the bank is going to turn us down.”I could feel my dreams getting closer. Sofia was already on her phone setting up an appointment to go see the place tomorrow on our day off. We ordered our food and got to talking about how we would want to fix the place up, but my phone ringing interrupted our conversation.And I groaned when I saw it was my mother.“Fuck. Hold on,” I said. “Hey, Mom.”“Did you leave the damn door open?” she asked.“Did you tell everyone you fuc
