My Mafia Stepbrothers Want Me? The love in the dark
Serena:The basement felt smaller the longer we stayed. The air was damp, heavy with the smell of blood and rain-soaked clothes. Every time I shifted, the floor groaned like it wanted to betray us.Matteo’s breathing steadied into something shallow but rhythmic. I’d taken that as a win. My hands still hovered close, checking the bandage every few minutes, afraid it would unravel the moment I looked away.“You should sleep.” Luca’s voice came from the shadows near the door. He hadn’t moved in what felt like hours, a silent guard bracing the weak wood with nothing but his body.“I can’t.”His eyes found mine, piercing even in the dim light. “If you burn yourself out, you’re no good to him. Or to any of us.”The logic was sound, but the thought of closing my eyes while Umbra prowled outside made my stomach twist. “What about you? You haven’t even sat down.”“I don’t need to.”I almost laughed at that—Luca, all sharp edges and control, acting like he wasn’t made of flesh and blood. But hi
My Mafia Stepbrothers Want Me? In what world?
Serena:The silence after the firefight wasn’t silence at all.It was the drip of water from the cracked pipes above. The hiss of rain seeping through the basement door. The ragged breathing of four people who had no right to still be alive.Matteo slumped against me, heavy and stubborn even unconscious. My hands trembled from holding pressure on his wound, blood tacky on my gloves.“We need to move,” Luca said finally, voice a blade in the dark. He checked his gun, his movements clipped, controlled. “Umbra’s regrouping. This was a scout team, not the main strike.”Nico leaned against the wall, tilting his head back like he was bored, but his eyes never left me. “And you think moving him”—he jerked his chin toward Matteo—“is going to make us faster?”“Don’t start,” I snapped, sharper than I meant to.Nico’s smirk deepened, dangerous. “Oh, I’m not starting, sweetheart. I’m finishing. If he bleeds out on the street, it won’t matter how many doors Luca kicks down.”The air bristled betwe
My Mafia Stepbrothers Want Me? Am I in Love?
Serena:The stairwell was narrow, steep, and slick with rainwater dripping from the roof above. Matteo leaned heavily against me, groaning every few steps, and I cursed under my breath. We couldn’t keep moving like this forever.“Half a block,” Luca muttered, his hand steady on my shoulder as he guided us. “There’s a basement we can hole up in—temporarily.”“Temporary?” Nico scoffed, scanning the street through the cracks in the wall. “You mean until Umbra figures out we’re hiding like scared little mice.”Matteo groaned again, but his crooked grin returned. “I prefer the term ‘strategic retreat.’”I shot him a look, but it barely registered. My focus was on keeping him upright, on listening for the telltale sounds of footsteps, tires, the metallic click of weapons reloading. Umbra wasn’t far behind.A sharp clatter echoed from above—the metal fire escape. I froze, and all three of them tensed.“They’re close,” Luca whispered. His jaw was tight, eyes scanning.I heard the soft tap of
My Mafia Stepbrothers Want Me? The apartment of night
Serena:The apartment smelled of blood, antiseptic, and wet concrete. I hadn’t realized how much the safehouse had shielded us from the outside world until now. Out here, every siren, every distant engine, sounded like a threat—like Umbra could be anywhere.Matteo stirred beside me, groaning softly. His hand still found mine, but his grip was weaker than before. I tightened it instinctively, like holding on could keep him alive.“I hate that you two argue more with each other than with them,” I muttered, leaning back against the couch. My voice was quieter than I intended, but both men turned sharply anyway.“Not arguing,” Luca said, jaw tight. “Strategizing.”“Right. Strategizing how to drive me insane,” I countered, glancing at Matteo, who smirked despite the blood.“You wound me,” he whispered, and it made my stomach twist—not in humor, but in something else I couldn’t name.Luca’s eyes flicked between us, sharp and unreadable, before he turned to the window, pulling the blinds jus
My Mafia Stepbrothers Want Me? The hunt goes on
SerenaThe safehouse smelled like dust and oil, the kind of place that had been abandoned so long it didn’t remember people anymore. I peeled off my soaked jacket, the weight of rain and adrenaline sliding to the floor with it.Luca was by the window, the blinds tilted just enough for him to see the street. Matteo leaned against the opposite wall, arms crossed, watching Luca like he was daring him to make the wrong move.I wanted to sit. I wanted to breathe. I wanted them to stop looking at each other like one of them wasn’t going to make it out of this alive.Instead, I found my voice. “What’s the plan?”“Plan is you rest. We keep watch,” Luca said without turning.“I’m fine—”“You’re not fine,” Matteo cut in. “Your hands are shaking.”I curled my fingers into fists. “Maybe because people were shooting at me.”His mouth quirked, but his eyes didn’t soften. “All the more reason to stay close.”Something in Luca’s shoulders went rigid, and for a second I thought he’d spin around and st
My Mafia Stepbrothers Want Me? One more time
Serena:The rain outside had gone from steady to punishing, hammering against the broken glass like it wanted in. The room smelled of rust and old fire, the kind of scent that never really left.“Stay with me,” Luca said again, his eyes locked on the street below.Matteo shifted beside me, a slow, deliberate movement that made the air between them heavier. “She’s already with me.”I was two seconds from snapping at them both when Luca’s voice went razor-sharp. “Movement—three o’clock.”I moved to the edge of the window, ignoring both of them. Two figures in dark raincoats were making their way up the opposite street, heads low against the downpour. Their pace was too measured.“Umbra?” I whispered.Luca didn’t answer. His body told me enough—every line of him coiled and ready. He tapped twice on the sill, a signal for silence.Matteo’s hand brushed mine as he passed me his sidearm. “Just in case,” he mouthed.I took it, the cold metal grounding me in the middle of the storm that was a
