Pleasure jolts through me when he calls me his, and I’m coming around him in moments, rolling my hips up into his thrusts.
Nico kisses me again, nipping my lower lip, when he comes inside me, and then he breaks away to kiss where he bit me.
“Sorry,principessa. You get me all riled up,” he mumbles, and I giggle.
“I love that I get you all riled up,” I admit.
Nico looks at me, raising an eyebrow and propping himself up on his forearms, his body still pressed against mine, still pulsing inside of me.
“Of course you do,” he says. “Look at you.” He trails his hands across my breasts, flicking along my nipples until my inner muscles contract around him again weakly. He chuckles and kisses my mouth softly, almost chastely.
“I’m not much to look at,” I argue, and I’m not sure why I suddenly feel so self-conscious. I don’t mean to fish for compliments but it’s like I’m starved to hear them from Nico’s lips.
“You’re crazy,” he mutters. “You’re gorgeous, built in all the right ways.” He gives me a hard look. “And don’t tell me you think you’re ugly or something.”
I blush, looking away. “I mean, sometimes I do,” I admit.
Nico scoffs. “Crazy,” he repeats again, putting a hand on my cheek and kissing my nose before he pulls out of me, shifting to pull his trunks back up where he’d shoved them down. He stands up and holds out a hand to help me, and I stand up, naked, my skin warm in the sunlight.
He leads me into the living room and I put my head in his lap, watching television. Francesca may think that my stay at the safehouse is boring, but wild horses couldn’t drag me away.

NICO
It’s been two weeks since the call with my sister and Aurora is still having a few nightmares, but tonight she had a particularly horrific one. She woke up where we’d both fallen asleep on the couch gasping as if she couldn’t get any air inside her lungs.
“Principessa?” I call, and she looks at me, her brown eyes desperate. “Breathe, baby,” I tell her, hoping that she mirrors me when I breathe in through my nose and out through my mouth. Eventually, she does, her brown eyes searching my face. “It’s okay, just breathe.”
She does as I say and then throws herself into my arms, burying her head against my shoulder and straddling my lap.
My heart aches for her as I stroke her long hair.
“It’s okay,” I tell her. “It’s all going to be okay.”
She finally calms down, stops trembling, and then she sits up, sniffling.
“Sorry,” she mumbles, her eyes red from crying.
“No reason for apologies,” I assure her. I want to ask about the nightmare but I don’t want to get her started all over again.
“I just haven’t been sleeping well,” she murmurs, brushing her hair back from her face.
I nod slowly. I would like to say the same, but sleeping next to Aurora I’ve been sleeping like a baby, which honestly terrifies me.
I’ve been thinking that I need to put some space between us. I’ve been thinking that I’m getting a little too attached, a little too domestic, so when Aurora goes to shower, I go out onto the terrace for my unlit cigarette routine. It’s been a while since I even needed it.
Dante answers the phone after a couple of rings, sounding annoyed.
“Nico, must you always call me soearly?”
I chuckle. “Sorry,capo. I needed to ask you something.”
Dante yawns. “Ask away. I’m up now.”
“I thought about what you said. About how I could bring Aurora there, have you take care of her and Francesca.”
“Yeah? Is your little sister’s best friend driving you nuts?”
