My coronary heart begins to select up its tempo. I’m trying to find the correct phrases, phrases that Sera gained’t hate, however one way or the other, I can’t discover them. I assume I shouldn’t really feel so ashamed since she was there whereas Levi was on his knees, nevertheless it nonetheless conjures up a sense of unease that this dynamic now we have might all go sideways in a break up second.

“After Gio was shot.”

Sera’s eyes widen on me.

“It occurred as soon as!” Levi lastly speaks up.

“Twice,” I right.

“Twice?”

We each nod at Sera. Part of me is glad that it’s out within the open. I don’t like the thought of conserving something from her, not since she’s at all times been open with us about one another. However part of me nonetheless needs it hidden away. I’m not homosexual. I don’t like guys.

“After our argument, after which once more down on the marina,” I provide, noticing the look of confusion on her face.

“Properly, I didn’t see that coming,” she mutters.

My eyes transfer to my lap. I tangle my palms, stretching, stress-free, squeezing, time and again. “Belief me. I don’t suppose anybody did.”

As if she senses my worries, Sera leans ahead and tangles her fingers with mine. “Why didn’t you inform me?”

I don’t even know the place to start out with regards to answering that. Sera has been open with us about every part, and right here we’re, hiding what occurred like we’re ashamed. The reality is, I’m not ashamed in any respect. However I’m not going to sit down in silence and deny that it doesn’t scare the shit out of me. Admitting what occurred means admitting I like Levi. It means admitting to my very own vulnerability. I’m Luca Fontana, Enforcer to the Bianchi household. I don’t have room for vulnerability, however Levi has one way or the other squeezed by means of the very tiny cracks of my being, breaking down the wall I by no means knew existed. It cements the kiss, the sentiments stirring beneath the floor. I don’t know if I’m prepared for that.

“I really feel like saying it out loud means admitting we betrayed you.”

Sera drops to her knees in entrance of me, cupping my cheeks. She brushes the tip of her nostril towards mine, and that one easy contact dissolves all the fear I’ve been feeling. “I don’t really feel betrayed,” she reassures. “I promise.”

My eyes snap to satisfy hers, however the trepidation in her options melts away the worry constricting my chest.

“Can I be sincere with you each?” She averts her gaze to Levi, who leans ahead.

Our knees brush towards one another, my heartbeat skipping barely. We’ve been nearer than this earlier than, however one thing concerning the pressure simmering between all three of us proper now has me on edge.

“I feel it’s sort of scorching.” She bites down on her backside lip, tempting me to lean ahead and tug it out. I don’t, although. My hand grips hers so fiercely that it’s the one energy I can muster by means of this unusual dialog.

“Oh it was,” Levi teases, stunning me when he rests his hand on my thigh.

“Hmm…” Sera leans again, taking a look at each of us. “You guys don’t want to cover something from me, okay? What now we have right here, it really works, and I’d prefer to suppose that if we wish extra, then we might be open about that.”

“However one other lady is out of the query?” Levi taunts, grabbing Sera by the waist and yanking her down on our laps.

She laughs and writhes as Levi digs his fingers into her ribs, the musical sound making me smile. It’s not simply Sera’s chuckle, however Levi’s too. It’s all so carefree and easy that I’ve a tough time tuning it out. I was such a hard-ass, a moody son-of-a-bitch with a fancy, however within the house of just some months, I’ve discovered extra of my actual self in them than in my complete existence.

“Sure, Marchese. If you happen to carry one other lady into the combo, I’ll take the bitch down myself.”

“Threats from the chief, Marchese,” I chuckle, grabbing her ft and pinning her down onto the sofa. “We should always actually comply with orders.”

“Orders, sure,” Levi agrees, shifting in order that his physique is alongside Sera’s. “Threats… hmm… I don’t know.”

Sera is breathless beneath Levi, her eyes alight with want as she bites down on her lip. “Don’t fear, Dolcezza.” I crawl over her physique, positioning myself between her thighs. “I gained’t be bringing one other lady into this. No different lady might maintain a candle to you.”

Her breath stutters as I lean down and kiss her. For as soon as, I let her take management, only for a second earlier than I dive my tongue into her mouth, exploring it so intricately that even Levi gasps.

“Fuck, why is it so rattling scorching to look at?” he rasps.

Sera sits up, leaning again on her elbows. Her cheeks are rosy, her lips swollen from our kiss, however glistening with the remnants of it. “It’s scorching to look at you each as effectively,” she smiles.

Levi turns to me, a forehead raised in what I understand to be expectation—or possibly it’s hope.
