LeoThe highway blurred beneath my tires as I pushed the bike harder than necessary. Linda’s words kept slamming through my skull like a bad hangover.Raul del Infierno.That bastard was still out there, sniffing around for fresh blood, and he had set his sights on dragging me and Luca back into his shit. The same monster who once wanted us as collateral. The same one who turned our family into dust.I hated how easily the memories came back. The night Linda snuck us out, especially the way my father had been ready to hand us over like broken toys. If she hadn’t introduced him to that world in the first place, maybe none of this would have happened. Maybe we could have stayed normal.My hands tightened on the grips, the scars pulling tight under the gloves. The memories were too painful to remember even for me. And now this tiny hurricane had walked straight into our lives, making everything more complicated. I already have a lot on my plate and now that girlhas been added to the list.
LucaThe drive home tonight was quiet, the kind of comfortable silence that wrapped around us like a blanket. Aveline sat in the passenger seat, staring out the window while I got into the driver's seat but her stomach gave a loud rumble that broke the peace. She pressed a hand to her belly, embarrassed. I just smiled, glancing over at her.“Hungry?” I asked gently.She nodded shyly. She looked so endearing my heart ached.I reached over and helped her with the seatbelt making sure her small lips meet mine in the process. The ride had given me time to think things through.Things that I didn't want to bother her wigh. It's been a long day and she had been through so much already.As we drove, she turned to me. “Should we tell Leo about… us? About what happened tonight?”I reached over and patted her head fondly, my fingers lingering in her soft hair. “Not yet. I’ll take care of everything. You don’t have to worry about that right now mm.”She hummed a reply softly, brought my hand dow
LucaThe dimly lit room felt like another world compared to the loud party outside. I didn’t even remember how we got here. One second we were on the dance floor savoring a burning kiss, the next her hand was in mine as I pulled her away from the crowd. Now she straddled my lap on the edge of some couch in a room, her floral dress bunched around her thighs, and my mouth was on her neck.My shirt laid abandoned on the floor, our shoes scattered across the bed.I sucked gently on the sensitive spot just below her ear, tasting her milky soft, strawberry scented warm skin. Aveline let out a soft, surprised sound that went straight through me. Her hands gripped my bare shoulders, fingers digging in as she shifted closer. My heart was hammering so hard in my chest. This was my first time too yet I had no idea how everything just flowed seamlessly with her.“You’re so beautiful,” I whispered against her skin, my voice rough as I bit into her skin. One of my hands stayed on her waist, holding
LeoGregory’s penthouse was pure chaos. We had gotten there by six pm after our photoshoot for the state conference.Music blasted from the speakers at full volume, shaking the walls while people packed every corner drinking, laughing, celebrating the win like tomorrow didn’t exist.It was a pool party obviously 'cause 'guys can't live without sex' as Greg would always say. So almost everyone was in swimsuits, bikinis, or shorts.There were half-naked and bare bodies everywhere glistening under the dim grey lights.I stood near the edge of the main room in a black tank top and black shorts that hung low on my hips, the black cross necklace resting against my chest and all my tattoos on full display. I didn't need some strangers staring at my dick all night.A cold can of beer sat in my hand, mostly untouched.My eyes scanned the crowd for Luca from the kitchen island.That damn classroom scene kept replaying in my head. Even when she had cursed at me, I still left with the paper and t
Second half was pure fucking war. Still tied 2-2, the field felt like it was on fire and so did my ribs.Every time I looked over, there was always one asshole coming at me with full speed. Ever since our encounter at the hallway a few minutes ago, I haven't gotten myself at all but there she was on the sidelines whipping around that stupid ponytail. All the eyes watching her as she twisted her waist from the stands made my blood boil hotter than anything.The tie dragged on till the left midfielder fouled one of our players by using his knee to hit him in the crotch.The ref pointed to the spot.Penalty. A smirk lit up my face. What a dumbbell.Crowd went dead quiet. As captain and the guy who actually scores when it matters, the kick was mine. I set the ball down, peeled off my gloves so the scarred mess of my hands could feel the leather.I took the run-up and blasted it; top fucking corner, nothing but the net.The stadium detonated and people lost their minds. Girls flooded the f
Leo“What?”“You heard me, bro. Did you kiss Aveline or not?”Luca stood there with that annoyed look that didn’t belong on his face. My perfect golden-boy brother, usually all easy smiles, actually looked ready to swing. The little midget hadn’t explained shit to him, apparently.I shrugged off my jacket anyway. Every muscle burned from practice, and the last thing I wanted was this drama. But her slap kept replaying in my head like a broken fucking record; that tiny hand cracking across my cheek, those mismatched eyes flashing with fire hidden beneath her hair. No one ever pushed back at me like that except Luca. It was annoying. It was hot.“Bro.” Luca grabbed my arm, stopping me cold.I squinted at him until he let go and ruffled a hand through his hair, looking lost. “Sorry, I just… fuck, I don’t know what came over me,” he muttered.I smacked his arm, then shoved him toward the couch. “I’m exhausted, Luc. Big game tomorrow, remember? We’ll talk after. And for the record, I did
LeoShe stormed off like a tiny hurricane with legs, all fire and fury and that ridiculous ponytail swinging behind her. I stood there clenching my so tight it ticked watching Aveline disappear down the path. Did she just slap me?No girl had ever slapped me before. Not once. Most of them were too
AvelineThe room was pitch-black except for the thin sliver of moonlight slicing through the curtains. I lay on my back, staring at the ceiling like it might give me answers if I glared hard enough. Sleep? Yeah, that asshole had ghosted me hours ago. Instead, my brain kept rewinding to before Ital
LeoWhat a waste of time. This Aveline girl is really a piece of work and it's very annoying how she always needs help with everything.To clear my mind, I went to the backyard with a cigarette in between my fingers. Luca always tells me to stop smoking but I just can't help it. Smoking helps me lo
Aveline's POV The next day, I stood in front of the mirror in the girl's bathroom adjusting the straps of my black tank top and tugging down the hem of my shorts before grabbing my duffel bag and heading out. My heart pounded with a mix of nerves and excitement as I made my way across campus to th
