061: A Sense Of Discomfort

~~Romeo Amoretti~~“Oohhh, I see she's got you working too?” Nero says loudly, interrupting my precious silence. I glanced at him briefly, then back at the smoker. It'll take an hour or so. Abigail came out a few minutes ago to tell me to keep an eye on it and count down two and a half hours. She plans on finishing it up in the oven. “I offered,” I admitted. I'm not sure why. I was just standing there, listening to the three of them work around the kitchen. Asking myself whether my plan was going to work or if I'd just made a grave mistake bringing my brothers the source of their desires for two whole weeks under the same roof. Nero whistled, handing me a glass of the margarita he'd made. “Why? I thought you were going to be grouchy forever.”I took the cup, taking a small sip before placing it down on the nearby table. “I'm not being grouchy. I wanted rules to guide us for the next two weeks. We're leaving her here alone next weekend. How can I know I can trust her if she doesn'

062: Pretty Girls Are Addicting

~~Nero Amoretti~~Darling made a delicious meal of smoked pulled ribs, mashed potatoes, and baked vegetables. She made enough to feed ten people. Which was good because we eat like we're ten men. I insisted on cleaning up after, I didn't want her to cook, then end up doing everything else after. What she needed to do was rest. After cleaning up, I kept thinking about the food. It was that good. She'd make a good wife to someone someday. An omega like her? Sexy, smart, and a good chef? She's practically everything you'd want. I'm guessing the universe compensated for giving her a low class by giving her remarkable qualities. I am unfortunately not looking for a wife. I'm looking for fun. Fuck 'em, then break em. My behaviour contradicts this, though. I haven't been acting like I'm going to break her. Being around her turns me into someone I don't even recognise. Still me, but clingier. The sun was slowly setting, and she asked us to go down to the beach with her. Romeo declin

063: You Want Me

~~Abigail Darlington~~Running around the beach was fun and tiring. Though Niccolo and Nero seemed to fall into this silence that felt like they were conspiring telepathically. I wasn't bothered by it; I just thought it was strange. We returned to the beach house, and I must say, I despise these stairs. Walking down the first time almost took me out, but I held myself together. I'm free diving down next time. I might break bones, but at least I won't have to walk. I have walked longer miles, but walking and going up or down some steps are two different things. I showered late into the evening. The bathroom had a glass wall with a view. I could close the curtains; however, I didn't care about any of that. I liked seeing moonlight as I stood under the warm spray. Washing away all the sand and dirty seawater. I could hear movement around the house. Living with three men isn't something I ever thought I'd do. These two weeks could either be the most fun or the least. After my shower

064: Night-time Activities PT 1

~~Niccolo Amoretti~~Sleeping just isn't something I can do. Expecting me to rest well, knowing the object of my desire is just one floor below me, is ludicrous. I tried. I did the normal thing. I lay in my bed, closed my eyes, and tried to lure myself into the land of sleep. I even tried counting sheep, then I realized there was no need for this level of pretence. I want something, so why can't I go and get it? Why do I have to wait? Why do I have to pretend? So here I am. Standing in front of her bedroom, staring at the faces of my brothers. It's funny if you think about it. These fools were thinking the same thing I was. Well, Niccolo and I shared the same thought. I have a feeling Romeo is here to either supervise like the pro cuck he is, or he wants to give us some warnings and or rules. My money is on option number three; both. He crosses his arms, giving us a disappointed stare like we're five years old. “You know, normal people sleep at night. They don't sneak into be

065: Party Pooper

~~Nero Amoretti~~Making a bet with my brother was probably a dumb idea. But I chose to do it anyway because I wanted to take a page out of his book and be stupid for once in my life. Darling didn't seem to mind the idea of taking on two of us. She had a smile that only seemed to grow as Niccolo swore up and down that he would make Romeo pay.I'm not sure why he was so shocked. The night Romeo called us to the hotel, he made it pretty clear that he had gone all out on her, and she was practically knocked out. What the hell did Nero think that would mean?She even woke up in a daze. I know he's not the brightest, but come the fuck on? He should have been able to make the connection.I just don't ask because I don't want my pride wounded. I've already accepted that I'm not exactly the prized stallion when it comes to sex. I don't care that much. But compared to Nero?Why am I even entertaining this thought? It's not going to do me any good. I'm fairly confident I can win this. Crazy

066: Housing Perverts

~~Romeo Amoretti~~“You just had to come in and ruin everything, didn’t you?” Nero accused, his forefinger jabbing hard into the center of my chest.The force of it wasn’t painful, but the intention behind it was clear. I swatted his hand away like it was nothing more than a bothersome fly, refusing to give him the satisfaction of reacting.His eyes flashed with irritation.“This is important,” I said, my voice clipped and sharp. “It couldn’t wait.”Neither of them looked impressed.The tension in the room was thick enough to choke on. Whatever they had been doing before I burst in, it was obvious they hadn’t appreciated the interruption. Too bad. Their entertainment was the least of our problems.“I just received information about the kid that died two days ago,” I continued, forcing myself to stay focused despite the murderous looks aimed in my direction. “His parents are starting to ask questions. The marks on his body don’t match any of the weapons the investigators checked.”I

067: Not All Fun

~~Abigail Darlington~~I lay sprawled across Romeo’s bed, staring up at the ceiling while pure rage simmered through every fiber of my body.That man was bad fucking luck.I swear he had some supernatural ability to sense when people were enjoying themselves, because the second fun entered the room, he appeared just to ruin it. Like some bitter, brooding storm cloud hovering over everyone else's sunshine.And today? Today he had absolutely outdone himself.My jaw tightened as I replayed the moment he had dragged me away.I had been perfectly happy—more than happy, actually. His brothers had been entertaining, charming in their own dangerous way. The tension in the room had been thick, electric, the kind of moment where things could turn deliciously reckless. I was about to be the meat between their competitive sandwich.And then Romeo walked in.Just like that. Fun over.“I swear he needs to loosen up with something hot,” I muttered to myself, staring at the ceiling. “Like a branding

068: Hardworker

~~Abigail Darlington~~I ended up sleeping for another couple of hours.Not that I particularly needed it.But once I was back in my own bed, wrapped up in my blankets and away from the noise of Romeo and his brothers, my body decided it wasn’t done resting yet. Sleep came easily—deep, uninterrupted, and far too comfortable to resist.When I finally woke up again, the house was completely silent.Not the tense silence from earlier, either. The kind that followed shouting matches and slammed doors. No. This silence was different. Calm. Still. Almost eerie.I stretched lazily beneath the covers, feeling more energized than I had in days. Honestly, I probably had more energy than I actually needed. My body felt light, my mind clear, and the lingering irritation from the night before had faded into something far more manageable.After a moment, I rolled out of bed and got ready for the day.A long shower helped wake me up fully, the warm water easing the last traces of sleep from my muscl

069: Suspicious Men

~~Abigail Darlington~~“You guys scared me,” I exclaimed, pressing a hand to my chest as my heart slowly settled. I brushed past them without waiting for a response and hurried straight into the kitchen.My nerves needed something to focus on.Preferably water.I grabbed a bottle from the fridge and twisted the cap off, lifting it to my mouth and chugging like it was the only thing keeping me alive. The cool water slid down my throat, and I didn’t stop until I had drained half the bottle.Behind me, I heard their footsteps following into the kitchen.Of course they were.I lowered the bottle and wiped the back of my hand across my mouth, taking another quick gulp before setting it on the counter.God, I needed real food.The pathetic thing I’d eaten for breakfast hours ago had long since burned off. My stomach felt hollow, like it had been running on fumes all afternoon while I tortured myself with their work.“Sorry,” Niccolo said from somewhere behind me. Seeming like he's the only

070: Suspicious Men PT 2

~~Abigail Darlington~~I had placed my phone face down when I was met with another problem. All three of men refused to start eating until I agreed to join them outside.Which was ridiculous. I was already a quarter of the way through my meal, sitting comfortably at the kitchen counter, enjoying the rare moment of quiet. My sandwich was halfway gone, my soup perfectly warm, and for once no one was bothering me.Then Nero had leaned into the doorway.“Come outside,” he said.“No.”“Come on,” he insisted.“I’m eating.”Niccolo had appeared behind him then, holding his plate patiently like he was waiting for a peace treaty to be signed.“The sunset is nice tonight,” he added.“And the waves,” Nero chimed in dramatically. “Very cinematic.”I stared at both of them.Romeo, of course, was standing farther back near the hallway, arms crossed like he wanted nothing to do with the conversation.He had at least thanked me for the food when he grabbed his plate.But after that? Silent.His brot
