As soon as we finished eating, we gathered our plates and took them back into the kitchen."Are you going to put icing on that or are we eating it raw?"Aubrey asked Norah, pointing at the cake that was cooling on the stovetop.Norah looked at Aubrey and sighed."Of course I'm putting icing on it. I had to wait until it cooled off."Norah grabbed the container of icing and began scooping it out with a spatula to spread across the top of the cake. Ana was shaking her head at their interaction when she reached out to grab my plate."Let me help," I told her, placing my plate into the soapy dishwater.She didn't protest as the two of us worked in unison to clean the dirty dishes. Philip and the twins worked behind us to clean off the countertop, putting away the bags of potato chips into the pantry and the condiments back into the fridge.I noticed Hanna walking out onto the deck and taking a seat on the swinging bed that hung outside. A few minutes later, Luca followed her out there.I

I was laying on my back, staring at the ceiling, when the sun rose the next morning. My mind still reeling, I kept replaying those intimate moments over and over in my mind. I couldn't sleep until I understood how everything had happened so quickly...How did we go from agreeing we didn't need to be around each other to me giving Luca a hand job twenty-four hours later?I was mortified.It took everything within me to get out of the bed that morning and venture downstairs.Was it going to be awkward now?You thought it was awkward before, I reminded myself. To my great displeasure, Luca was sitting at the kitchen counter when I went downstairs. He sat shirtless, facing away from me with a cup of coffee in one hand and an iPad in the other, scrolling through the news.I wanted to turn and run back up the staircase as quickly as I could. He hasn't seen me yet. Maybe he doesn't know I'm standing here, I thought."Morning," he said, still staring at the iPad.I wondered briefly if I had s

Taking a shower when we got home was a workout in and of itself. My legs were shaking and ached every time I leaned over to grab the soap.I almost fell when I reached out to grab the towel from it's hook. Groaning, I dried myself off and tucked the towel under my arms as I emerged from the bathroom into the bedroom.I was surprised to find Luca sitting on my bed, pulling the towel tighter around me as he stood up.He stumbled over his words as he laid eyes on my towel-clad body."I-um.." he started, rubbing the back of his neck, "I have some stuff that I need to get done this afternoon. I just wanted to let you know I was leaving. I probably won't be home until late."I nodded."That's fine."Luca watched my reaction slowly and I realized I may have sounded too happy to hear he was leaving.Giving me a lingering gaze, Luca backed away towards the door."I guess I'll see you later, then," he said.I nodded again, following him.Our eye contact didn't break until I had closed the door.

The soft tracing of fingertips down my arm is what pulled me from sleep the next morning. I stirred for a moment, stopping when I realized where I was asmy eyes opened to the high ceilings of Luca's bedroom.Rolling over on my side, I felt Luca's hard body fill the space behind me, spooning me. His arm wrapped around my waist and tucked itself under me."Buongiorno, amore," he whispered, his breath fanning against the nook of my shoulder.I hummed in response, closing my eyes again.He kissed the spot just under my ear. My hand reached up to find his face, gently pushing his lips away from my neck."It's too early," I muttered, still half-asleep.I heard Luca chuckle as he pulled me into him closer."I don't mind laying here until it's not," he said.I jolted up, suddenly wide awake."Oh my God, what time is it?" I said, throwing the covers back. He groaned as he rolled over to look at his phone."Quarter till eight.""Shit, shit, shit," I muttered running across the room."Do you ha

When we arrived home that evening, both Bates's Jeep and Blaine's SUV were parked in the driveway, along with an electric blue muscle car that I didn't recognize."Great," I said."Now I have to smuggle this shit in with four people watching.""Good luck," Norah wished me."Men in their late twenties can practically smell red lace. Plus, that's Ben who drove the Charger and I can promise you he knows exactly what's in that pink bag."I let out an exasperated groan as I unbuckled and got out of the car. Norah popped the trunk and I leaned in to gather my things.I put the pink bag, which was too big to be stuffed into another one, closest to my body and stacked the rest of the bags on top of it to hide it."Very inconspicuous," Norah commented sarcastically.I walked towards the house quickly and opened the front door to see all four men standing in the kitchen.Shit, was my first thought.I'll never make it to the staircase without being stopped. Just as Luca saw me, I diverted and wa

As soon as the game was over, Bates was on his feet."I think I'm gunna head home, boys and girls," he said, stretching."I've endured a trauma tonight that has left me needing some rest."Luca just shook his head as he stood up, Blaine following suit with a wide yawn. We followed each other upstairs to the living room."It is way past my bedtime," I said looking at the clock and noticing it was nearly midnight."You're an old woman," Bates told me, walking towards the front door."I like to get up early," I defended.I flipped on the porch light.As soon as I stepped out onto the front porch with Bates, I froze. There was a mangy, ash-blond wolf in Luca's front yard, staring at us with eyes that glowed in the porch light.Before I could say a word, Luca ripped past me and leapt from the porch, skipping all three steps down as he shifted mid-air into a large wolf with thick, black fur. His clothes landed in strips of fabric next to me, but I hardly had time to notice before a growl th

"Would you stop digging through my underwear?!"Bates withdrew his hand from the box grasping a nude thong."This shit looks like dental floss," he laughed as I snatched it away.We were upstairs organizing all of my clothes into boxes; underwear in one, shorts in another, tank tops separated from t-shirts, and so on.It had been three days since I'd seen Luca or anyone else for that matter besides Bates and I was going crazy. He was like the younger brother I never had, except he was older than I was and a very large, grown man.Yet I still felt like punching him in the face half the time."You're so annoying," I told him, as he placed one of my bras over his chest like he was trying it on."Are tits like dicks for girls?" He asked me.I scowled."What kind of a question is that?""Do girls measure bra sizes the way guys do their dick? Like, if someone has bigger boobs than someone else, does that make her more alpha?" He clarified."Maybe in middle school," I answered.He looked dow

As it turns out, 'the bug' was the dune buggy in Luca's garage. A golf cart on steroids, it had oversized tires, seatbelts, and the capabilities of going "wicked fast", according to Bates."This is a terrible idea," Blaine said for the hundredth time as Bates helped buckle me in."Don't be a wiener," Bates told him, getting into the driver's seat.Blaine sighed before getting into the backseat."I need a helmet," he muttered."No, you'll be fine," Bates assured him."I'Il be gentle."With that, he started the engine and smashed the gas pedal giving me whiplash as I was yanked back into the seat. I praised God for the blessing that the seatbelt was for the next five minutes. Bates whipped in between trees and across fields like he was trying to kill us, giggling like a six-year-old boy the entire time.Suddenly, he slammed on breaks in a spot in the middle of the forest that looked like nothing at all, sending dust flying around us.I looked at Bates, my hair in my face and scowled."W
