Their Serenity (A Reverse Harem) 75
Sofia.We didn’t go back to the table right away.After the doctor left, the air in the room shifted—like we’d all finally exhaled a fear we didn’t realize had been coiled so tightly around our throats. Relief didn’t rush in like a wave. It came slow. Gentle. A tide lapping at the edges of something bruised but is slowly healing.Aurelio didn’t say anything at first. He just sat there, elbows on his knees, fingers woven together like a man trying to ground himself to the earth.I sank down beside him.“Your brain’s kicking ass,” I offered softly, shoulder bumping his.He huffed a breath that might’ve been a laugh. “Guess I owe it to a tiara and some mop-based prophecies.”“You owe it to yourself,” I said, “And to the part of you that held on even when the rest of you didn’t remember why.”His head turned, and there it was again—that look. Not the blank stare of a man clawing at fog. But the focused intensity of someone waking up inside his own body.“I’m scared,” he said quietly.“I k

Sofia.I didn’t know how long we stayed like that. Tangled limbs, lazy fingers tracing idle patterns on skin, heartbeats slow and synced like we’d finally hit a frequency that didn’t make my chest ache.Eventually, the post-bliss haze wore off, and I heard Arsen groan softly into my neck. “We’re gonna be late, aren’t we?”I blinked, staring at the ceiling like it had betrayed me. “Shit. Lunch.”“Yep,” he said, dragging himself up like a man about to face a firing squad. “At the estate. With your mafia husbands.”I snorted. “Don’t be dramatic.”He raised an eyebrow. “Sofia. Nikolai once threatened to stab me for taking the last breadstick.”“To be fair, it was garlic and we were drunk.”“Still stabbed adjacent,” he muttered, pulling his shirt back on while I dragged myself into a fresh pair of jeans and tried to fix my hair like it hadn’t just been thoroughly ravaged by affection and a little emotional healing.By the time we made it out to the car, I was buzzing with nerves and that f

Sofia.We didn’t move from that spot for a long time. Just stood there in the kitchen like a couple of emotionally dehydrated ghosts haunting the sticky air, where burnt cinnamon and sweetened regret clung to the walls. The smell was half overcooked pancakes, half defeat. My hoodie—his hoodie, which had officially crossed over into “mine by domestic conquest”—was warm with Arsen’s scent and a faint hint of vanilla coffee.The same vanilla coffee I’d spilled that morning in my panic to stop Lorelai from base-jumping off the bookshelf with a stuffed unicorn strapped to her back. She had declared it a “mission from the Fairy Council,” and honestly, I couldn’t argue with her commitment to the role.“I think I like it here,” I said softly. The words hung in the quiet like a snowflake you’re afraid to breathe near, delicate and holy.He didn’t smirk. Didn’t joke. He just looked at me—really looked—and then gave me the gentlest shoulder bump, like he needed to physically share the weight of

Arsen.There were three things I never thought I’d be doing at 11 a.m. on a weekday:Whisking cinnamon into pancake batter.Arguing with a three-year-old over sock color.Letting Sofia take over my kitchen like she owned the place.(Okay, the last one was kind of hot. And, let’s be honest, she lowkey did own the place. Emotionally, spiritually, logistically—she’d rearranged my spice rack last week, and I didn’t even mind.)“You didn’t turn the heat down when you added the milk,” she murmured, not looking at me, but reaching around anyway to adjust the burner. Her fingers brushed my arm, her tone going strict, which only made it more attractive. “Scorched the bottom. Again.”“I meant to do that,” I lied, absolutely shameless, barely biting down a grin.She snorted, flicking me with a spoon. “You also meant to give Alexei and Jade mullets with your ‘barbering skills.’ Let’s stop pretending we know how to do things.”Okay, ouch. But also, accurate. Jade had genuinely threatened to draw o

Sofia.His words hit like a sucker punch dressed in velvet."I’m not letting you run this time."I should’ve had something clever ready to go. A witty comeback. A sarcastic jab. Hell, even a half-hearted "we'll see." But nothing made it past my lips.Because the way he looked at me—like I was gravity, oxygen, and sunlight all rolled into one—stripped every ounce of sass from my bones. My whole body felt like it was on alert, not in fear, but in want. In hope. In a feeling I couldn't find a way to describe.So instead of running my mouth as always, I reached for him. My fingers threaded into his sleep-tousled hair, the strands still warm from our earlier chaos. There was a faint stubble burn on his cheek where I’d clearly been overenthusiastic (zero regrets, by the way), and his lips—plump, smug, and still glistening with leftover kisses—grazed mine like they had every right to be there.And the terrifying part? They did.This—this right here—was what belonging felt like."You make it

Author’s POV. Later, once the bedroom was a crime scene of discarded blankets and very satisfied bodies, Sofia slipped out from between them with a soft smile. She tiptoed past Nikolai’s arm—he was starfished across the bed like he’d fought in a war and barely made it. Nial mumbled something about “peaches” in his sleep (she wasn’t asking), and Nadei let out a contented sigh, flipping over to steal her pillow. The traitor. She padded quietly to the window, tugging the curtains open just a little. Morning sunlight poured in like honey, soft and golden, catching on the scattered chaos of their lives. Half-finished drawings from Jade. Lorelai’s pink unicorn slippers. A little handmade bracelet she hadn’t taken off since Jade had proudly given it to her.Her eyes softened.But then they drifted—just a bit farther. To the picture tucked in the frame of the mirror. A candid one. Blurry. Taken at the café weeks ago when she wasn’t looking.Arsen. Holding Alexei. Smiling at her like sh
