“Amore mio,” he said, the words so full of raw emotion as he drove deep inside me one last time, my walls clamping around him making our climaxes unite.
He shuddered as he came, his cheek resting on my shoulder as he held me close, kissing my neck lazily.
“I could get used to this,” he murmured.
“So could I.”
We stayed like that for a few seconds, savoring the moment before he finally set me down, holding me steady as I found my footing.
“I think we should have a quick rest, don’t you?” he suggested, and I just giggled as I began washing myself quickly to clean our new mess up.
“I just want to hold you,amore mio, just for a while,” he added as he stepped aside so I could turn. His arms closed around me once more, pulling me against his chest.
“We can nap and cuddle,” I whispered, smiling stupidly at his happy little sigh as he nuzzled my neck.
My life had changed so much in such a short time, but this, this was too pure and perfect. The way I felt for them was something I couldn’t deny anymore.
I wanted this. I wanted them, and I would accept the risk that that came with.
Because it was beyond worth it.

VERONICA
Ishot awake, the blast rocking the entire room as I sat up. Enzo was upright already, one arm thrown in front of me protectively as we sat up in bed.
My heart thrummed as tremors rippled through my body, and Enzo’s dark eyes met mine, fear swimming in their depths.
I gasped, panic slicing through me, no other sound escaping me as the gunfire sounded off down the hall.
Enzo moved fast, covering my body with his and rolling us off the side of the bed. He shielded me with his body, pinning me beneath him as the shots rang out.
“What’s going on?” I gasped, his weight crushing me as he glanced around wildly.
My eyes flicked to the gun case I’d moved into my room, and I was beyond grateful Zane had thought I needed it.
“Moretti,” Enzo ground out. “They’ve come to hit us first. Strike before we take them out,” he hissed as he caught my gaze, his thumb and forefinger catching my chin. “Zane showed you the hide in here, right?” he clarified, and I nodded.
When we’d first got here, it was the one thing he’d shown me right away before giving me space. The hide inside the closet. He’d made sure I knew the small spot on the wall that opened the hidden door.
“Get in there and don’t move, got it? It’s bulletproof. You don’t come out until one of us comes to get you,” he said, those dark eyes searching mine frantically. “Say it, say you won’t leave it.”
“I won’t,” I whimpered, hating how my body trembled madly. Fear was claiming me, the terror making itself known in every fiber of my being as my hands became clammy.
“Good, I love you, Veronica, stay safe, for me, and for us,” he said, the words making my heart lurch as he rolled off me. “Go, now!” he barked.
I did as he said, adrenaline kicking in as I rolled over and grabbed my gun case and bolted for the closet, stark naked.
I shot a look back as Enzo yanked a handgun out from beneath the bed, holding it at the ready. I flinched as someone shot into the doorway, but Enzo didn’t pull the trigger.
Thomas. Fuck, he was lucky Enzo hadn’t shot him dead.
“What’s going on?” Enzo barked, while Thomas shot a look between the both of us, his eyes quickly averting from my naked form.
I yanked the nearest robe out of the closet and threw it on. I’d be damned if I died naked.
“Kieran sent me up to watch over her. It’s Mario, Matteo, and the others,” Thomas shared. It was only now I saw the gun in his hand.
