“I’m so sorry, I don’t know what’s wrong with her—”
My mother sounds embarrassed, not concerned and that makes me irrationally angry. Instead of responding, I curl myself tighter into Enzo’s chest as I feel him take the stairs.
If she thinks I’m embarrassing now, wait until she finds out why I’m acting this way.
Oh god, what would people say? She can never find out. No one can. I hide my face against his body.
“Don’t worry, we’ll take care of her, Father is in the formal dining room waiting for you,” Nico says. “We have dinner if you would like anything.”
His voice sounds farther away. Then, a second set of footsteps echoes behind, and I know that the dream has become a nightmare. I’ve never had a one-night stand. So, naturally, the first time I do, the universe punishes me.
And I’m going to be confronted with my consequences whether I’m ready or not.
Enzo is careful to hold me so that I don’t jostle against him as he walks down what feels like a ridiculously long hallway. We turn and he opens a doorknob, bringing us into a dark room. A few more strides and he sets me gently on a bed.
The lights are flipped on, providing harsh clarity to the situation I’ve gotten myself into.
Nico stands against the doorway as Enzo drops to his haunches before me, his gaze fixed on mine.
“Hi there, princess. Are you okay?” He asks, worriedly. His hands rest on my knees, heating my body against my will.
I bite my lip nervously.
I’m getting déjà vu. Everything about this is so similar to that night. Pressure weighs down on my chest as I take in the reality of our situation.
For the first time, regret takes hold of my thoughts – tainting my memories. I can’t believe I let this happen. I can’t believe the universe could be this cruel. I can feel myself spiraling deeper into shame and regret as I pull my knees to my chest. My mind exploding with thoughts of disaster.
I had a sexual encounter with my new… stepbrothers? At the same time. Holy shit. If anyone finds out…
Wrong. This is so wrong.
What if there were cameras in that room?
Oh, god.
This cannot be happening.
“Christina, princess,” Enzo says, tentatively. He pushes some of my hair behind my shoulder.
“Christina, look at me.”
I shake my head.
“Christina.” He tucks two fingers beneath my chin and lifts my face to look at his. “It’s going to be okay.”
“None of this is okay,” I say, my lips trembling, looking at the man I let go down on me. Oh my god, what am I going to do?
“You’re right,” Nico interrupts, walking over to us. His voice holds none of the calm, soothing baritone that Enzo does. I shiver at the sound. He is harsh. Determined. “It wasn’t okay.
It was fucking amazing.”
“Amazing?” I laugh, bitterly. My eyes narrow on him, hating how he’s even more handsome than I remembered. This man is insane. “That was—” I start.
Nico cuts me off, his handsome face twisting into something terrifying as he towers over me.
“If you say that was a mistake, I swear to God, Christina, I will spank your ass red.. And then make you come until you tell the truth.”
I blink. The words I wanted to say are officially lost in one startled breath.
