LOGINTRISTAN'S POVAs we stood on the balcony, gazing out at the gardens, Giovanni's hand still clasped mine, I couldn't help but think about how far we'd come. From the darkness of the Bratva to the warmth of our little family, it was a journey I never could have imagined."Hey, what's on your mind?" Giovanni asked, his voice low and husky, as he squeezed my hand.I turned to him, a smile spreading across my face. "Just thinking about how much our lives have changed," I said, my eyes locking onto his. "I mean, we're married, we have twins, and we're living a life that's completely our own. I'm a doctor, you're a successful CEO."Giovanni's expression softened, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he smiled. "We've come a long way, haven't we?" he said, his voice filled with emotion. "From the moment I met you, I knew that you were someone special. That's why I never let you again. And now, here we are, building a life together."I felt a lump form in my throat as I looked at him, my heart
GIOVANNI'S POVWe waited at the school gate, hands in our pockets, eyes scanning the bustling crowd for our troublemakers. The sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm orange glow over the familiar chaos of the schoolyard. Tristan and I stood side by side, silently judging the spectacle that was our twins.Gio and Trist... our sons, were as different as night and day, but they were, in their own chaotic way, both perfect reflections of us.It didn’t take long before we spotted them emerging from the gate, their disheveled uniforms and wide, sheepish grins telling a story we didn’t need to hear.Tristan sighed heavily, crossing his arms over his chest, and his gaze narrowed on the twins. “Uh-oh, that looks like trouble.”I couldn't help but grin. As much as I wanted to scold them, part of me admired their spirited approach to life. It was just… everything they did was always turned up to five. They were mine and Tristan’s, after all.Tristan gave a low chuckle. “And I bet I know what ha
TRISTAN'S POVThree years had passed since that day—the day I said yes to Giovanni’s stubbornness, to his promise of a life together that I never knew I needed until I had it. And now, as we walked hand in hand through the bustling corridors of the hospital, it was hard to believe how much had changed. Giovanni, who once breathed danger and authority into every room he entered, had become a man who still wielded his power but did so quietly. The old Giovanni, the one of shadows and secrets, was still there, but now he had the warmth of a husband and soon, hopefully, a father.And me? Well, I was the chief trauma surgeon, a title I wore like a second skin. There were days when I could still hear the echoes of my first year... when I didn’t know how I was going to make it through. Now, I was the guy everyone called when things were at their worst, when lives hung in the balance. I had awards hanging on my walls, recognition from colleagues, and yes, even the occasional swooning nurse.
TRISTAN'S POVWe walked up the long, marble staircase to the Sokolov estate, the familiar echo of our steps a new reality. At the entrance, a figure perched on the steps, arms folded, waiting for us like a sentry.Anastasia was draped in a silk coat of midnight blue, her hair pinned back with a single silver hairpin that caught the light. She turned when she heard our footsteps, and a smile broke across her face that was equal parts mischief and relief.“Ah, there you are,” she said, her voice lilting. “You’ve been gone too long. I was beginning to think you’d been swallowed by the very shadows you promised to flee.”Giovanni laughed, “Anie, I’ve dragged my husband here to keep you from monopolizing him.” He nudged me gently with his elbow, a teasing glint in his eyes.Anastasia rolled her eyes dramatically, “You two have been together since sunrise. I was hoping for some drama, but I suppose the drama lives inside you.”I could feel the heat of Giovanni’s hand on my back as he guided
TRISTAN'S POVThe next morning the sun slipped through the cracked shutters of the Sokolov manor, stealing the last remnants of night‑time heat that still clung to my skin.I was still half‑asleep, the memory of Giovanni’s grin lingering on the underside of my eyelids, and the faint scent of his cologne... spiced sandalwood and something darker, still wreathed my thoughts. My tongue still tasted of his, salty and sweet. I opened my eyes to the sight of Giovanni’s chest rising and falling in a rhythm that was both terrifying and comforting. He was still, for a heartbeat, a lion in repose, his hair a dark halo against the pillow.I could hear the faint flutter of his breath, the way his nostrils flared when a stray thought nudged him awake. Then, as if the universe had a sense of humor, his hand... large, calloused, found the patch of skin where my non-existent drool had gathered.“Stop drooling on me, you idiot,” he whispered, his voice husky with sleep. “You’re going to ruin the leat
GIOVANNI'S POVI pressed my sweat-slick torso against Tristan’s, pinning his wrists above his head with a force that left no doubt who was in control. The now messy silk sheets clung to our bodies, surprisingly cool against the heat radiating between us. The air in the master bedroom was thick, heavy with the scent of cum and the lingering traces of five spent cum loads. Midnight had long passed, but we're not done yet. Our tongues tangled in sloppy, breath-stealing kisses, each one a declaration of unyielding desire.I growled against his swollen lips, my voice low and rough, “I’m not stopping till that sun crawls through the curtains. You still have a pulse, which means I haven't tried hard enough.”Tristan’s eyes sparkled with defiance, his chest heaving beneath mine. His taint was drenched, my renewed erection grinding against it with an iron insistence.The sheer size and heat of my shaft left a wet, slick trail across his perineum every time I shifted. He smirked, his lips curl
