JOVAN'S POV

Walking into my office two weeks after disappearing felt surreal and it felt good to be in a new space.

Marcus flanked me on one side, Lorenzo on the other. Both of them scan for threats and are ready to kill anyone who looked at me wrong.

Security theater but necessary.

Marie looked up when I walked in. Her expression—relief mixed with confusion mixed with something I couldn't name—told me everything I needed to know.

"Mr. Rosfrith." She stood, then smoothed her skirt. "I wasn't ex

    Lorenzo's POV“Jovan,” I yelled as I ran into the burning building. One of the firefighters tried to stop me from going in but I kicked him down.As soon as I got to the stairs, the entire structure collapsed and I woke at 3 AM gasping for air.The dream had been different this time. Normally the dream was always about Donatella being covered in Jovani's blood but this time around, I saw someone else.This time it was Jovan.Jovan, lying on the floor of my office, blood pooling beneath him. Sergei standing over him, holding an axe which he'd used to bludgeon him to death.“Jovan!” I yelled from across the room. I tried to move but it felt like my legs were glued to the floor. I could barely hear myself speak.“This is what loving someone costs you,” Sergei had said. “This is the price.” he showed me the bloody axe before licking the blood off the sharp edges.I sat up, my clothes drenched with sweat even in a well air-conditioned room.Jovan was already up. With what had been going on

    Jovan's POVThe next morning was just as beautiful as the other days. We started the day withan argument about olive oil."This one," I said, holding up a small bottle from the market stall."That one's for cooking. We want the cold press." Lorenzo reached past me and grabbed a different bottle. "This one.""They look identical." I pointed at both of them. “Even a blind person can s"They're not identical. Look at the label. See the difference?""I see two bottles of olive oil.""Jovan." He said my name like I was testing him. "One is cold pressed. One is refined. They're completely different products.""It's oil and guess where they're from? Olives. So I don't understand why this requires a debate.""Because we're cooking tonight and it matters."We'd decided on our last full day to skip the restaurants. It was good to eat healthy so we decided to cook in the villa instead. Elena had given me three recipes before we left her house after dinner, handwritten on paper torn from a noteb

    Lorenzo's POVDays into our stay in Santorini and I was finally sleeping through the night.We ate breakfast on the terrace, exploring during the day, making love as the sun set, falling asleep tangled together.So of course something had to ruin it.We were at a local taverna, that most tourists didn't come to because everyone preferred the eye catching spots. There were small tables, locals laughing over wine, the smell of grilled octopus and lemon. Jovan was telling me some story about his college roommate, that was when I saw him.There was a man at the bar with dark hair, broad shoulders and a scar running down his left cheek.My blood went cold.Riff. He was one of Sergei's lieutenants. I'd seen him exactly once, three months ago, standing behind Sergei in my office when the Russian had delivered his threat.What the fuck was he doing here?"Lorenzo?" Jovan's hand touched mine. "You okay?""Fine." I couldn't stop staring at the man. He hadn't looked our way."You went completel

    Jovan's POVThe next morning, I woke up to Lorenzo kissing my shoulder."Morning," he murmured against my skin."Morning." I stretched, feeling actually rested for the first time in days. "What time is it?""Eight, but I've been awake for an hour planning our day." He kissed me on the neck."Oh?" I turned to face him. His eyes were clearer than they'd been since we arrived. "What kind of planning?""The fun kind. Remember? We promised." He sat up, and I noticed he was already dressed. "So get up. We have a perfect day to have.""A perfect day?""A fun day." He pulled me out of bed. "Starting now."Twenty minutes later, we were on rented scooters heading down winding roads toward the coast."You know how to drive this thing?" I shouted over the wind."How hard can it be?" Lorenzo grinned back at me, and my heart fluttered.TThis was what I'd been missing. The reckless, happy and young version of him.We rode down to a beach the villa owner had recommended—not the touristy ones, but a s

    Lorenzo's POVLater that night, I stood on the terrace at 2 AM, glass of wine in hand, watching the moonlight paint silver across the Aegean. Behind me, through the open doors, I could hear Jovan's steady breathing.He could sleep now. After a week here, the nightmares had stopped for him.Mine were just getting worse."You're doing it again."I didn't turn around. "Doing what?""Brooding alone in the dark instead of waking me up." Jovan's arms wrapped around me from behind, his chest warm against my back. "How long have you been out here?""An hour, maybe two.""Nightmare?""The warehouse again." I took a drink. "Except this time Sergei was there. He was laughing and telling me I couldn't save anyone. That everything I touched turned to ash."Jovan was quiet for a moment. Then he took the wine glass from my hand, set it down, and turned me to face him."Talk to me when I ask if you're okay.""Jovan—""We came here to heal, Lorenzo. But you can't heal if you won't let it out." His han

    Jovan's POVI woke to sunlight streaming through white curtains and the sound of waves crashing against cliffs somewhere below us.For a moment, I didn't remember where I was then it came back. We were in Santorini, Greece for our vacation.One month of nothing but this.I turned my head and my breath caught.Lorenzo was still asleep beside me, his face turned toward the window. His dark hair was tousled, falling across his forehead in a way it never did when he was awake.I'd seen Lorenzo in a thousand different states—dangerous, commanding, passionate, broken. But I'd never seen him like this.I couldn't help myself.I leaned over and pressed a soft kiss to his temple. His eyes fluttered open, confused for half a second before focusing on me then he smiled."Morning," he mumbled, his voice rough with sleep."Morning." I kissed him again, this time on the lips. "You were sleeping so peacefully I almost didn't wake you.""Almost?""I got greedy." I ran my fingers through his messy hai

    JOVAN'S POVI woke up in Lorenzo's bed for the second time. The first time had been last night—passing out after sex, too exhausted to move. The second time was now, morning light streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Lorenzo's arm heavy across my waist.Maybe I should have panicked a lit

    ETHAN'S POVThe wound in my side was still bleeding not too much but it still made the bandage warm and wet under my shirt.It was a reminder that I'd barely survived the warehouse, that the trap I'd set for Lorenzo had backfired spectacularly, that I should be in a hospital instead of standing out
