His eyes darken as he grabs my hips and pulls me into his lap, making me feel the hard press of his cock through his pants.
His lips claim mine in a searing kiss that steals my breath and makes my head spin. I melt into him, my fingers tangling in his dark hair as he deepens it, his tongue sweeping into my mouth.
When we finally part, both breathing heavily, Elio rests his forehead against mine. “You drive me crazy, you know that?”
I bite my lip, trying to hide my smile. “The feeling is mutual.”
He chuckles, the sound low and husky. “Come on, let’s get out of here.”
We stand, and Elio takes my hand, interlacing our fingers as we walk across the quad. The sun is setting, casting a warm glow over everything, and I can’t help but feel like this moment is perfect.
But as we walk, my mind drifts back to Renzo. How he looked at me that night, the hunger in his eyes and how his touch set my skin on fire. I know it’s wrong, but I can’t stop thinking about him.
Elio must sense my distraction again because he squeezes my hand, returning me to the present. “You okay?”
I nod, forcing myself to focus on him—the way his thumb strokes the back of my hand, the warmth of his body next to mine, the way he looks at me like I’m the only girl in the world.
“I’m more than okay,” I say softly, leaning into him. “I’m happy.”
And I am. Despite the guilt, despite the confusion, being with Elio makes me happy. He makes me feel safe, cherished, and wanted.
But even as we walk hand in hand, I can’t shake the feeling that something is missing. That there’s a part of me that longs for the danger and excitement that Renzo represents.
Damn Renzo, for getting into my head. Since he mentioned that Elio likes to share with his brother, I can’t stop thinking about it.
I glance up at Elio, catching the soft smile on his lips. “Can I ask you something?”
“Of course, princess. Anything.”
I hesitate, biting my lip. “Do you ever feel like... like you’re not sure where you belong? Like you’re caught between two worlds?”
Elio’s steps slow, and he turns to face me, his gray eyes searching mine. “All the time. Growing up in this life, in my family... it’s not easy. There are expectations and responsibilities. But sometimes I just want to be normal, you know?”
I nod, relief flooding through me. “I know exactly what you mean. My family is the same way. It’s like there’s this path laid out for me, and I’m supposed to follow it without question. But what if that’s not what I want?”
“Then you have to fight for what you do want,” Elio says, his voice low and intense. “It’s not easy, going against the grain. But if it’s important to you, it’s worth it.”
I swallow hard, my heart racing. “Is that what you’re doing? Fighting for what you want?”
Elio’s hand cups my cheek, his thumb brushing my skin. “I’m trying to. And right now, what I want is you.”
My breath catches in my throat, and I lean into his touch. “I want you too. But I’m scared. Scared of what this means...”
“I know, princess. I feel it, too. But we don’t have to rush anything. We can figure it out together.”
I nod, my eyes stinging with sudden tears. “I’d like that.”
Elio pulls me into his arms, holding me close. I bury my face in his chest, breathing in the scent of his cologne. In this moment, everything else fades away - the guilt, the confusion, the fear. All that matters is Elio and the way he makes me feel.
“Thank you,” I whisper, my voice muffled against his shirt, “for understanding and being here.”
Elio presses a kiss to the top of my head. “Always, Camila. I’ll always be here for you.”
For the first time in a long time, I let myself believe that maybe, just maybe, I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be—not with his brother, but with the sweet and kind dominant man before me.
I push the thoughts of Renzo away, determined to enjoy this moment with Elio. But deep down, I know it’s only a matter of time before I face the truth. I’m drawn to two dangerous brothers and have no idea how to choose between them.
