Alessia Guzman
The sun woke me up.
I groaned out loud, rolling onto my stomach, and continued to cuddle into the pillow and sheets. As soon as my registered where I was, the memories of Leo and his tongue came flooding in. Fuck!

That was one of the best sleeps I’ve ever had.

I pushed myself up on my palms when I realized that I was the only one in bed. I was also butt–ass naked. My chest and hips were covered in marks that were already starting to fade- Leo’s marks. The sight of it got my cheeks flaming uncontrollably.
I did a quick morning stretch to get rid of the tiredness in my muscles. The alarm clock resting on the bedside table read noon. I blinked a few times, a little confused about how I managed to sleep that long.
I felt contentedly happy. After the tragic events of the past few weeks, I never thought I’d be this happy and so soon too.
I rolled out of the bed, clumsily landing on my feet, nearly tripping in the process. I chuckled as I picked up the discarded t- shirt in the corner of the room and slipped it over my head. I walked to the bathroom and after doing everything I needed to, I left the bathroom and went looking for Leonardo.
The mansion had a lot of rooms and one of them was a gym. I had never been in it cause I hated to work out but as soon as I peeked inside, my mouth fell open.
Leonardo had his bare back facing me, his muscles flexing as he performed pull–ups on a high bar. Underneath the bright lights, the tattoos on his back were visible.
It was art, beautiful, and honestly, I was envious. I leaned against the door frame, tilting my head to the side as I watched him.
Leonardo’s sweatpants were low on his hips and the view was mouth–watering, to say the least. I could stand there for hours just watching him.
After a few more minutes, he jumped down and flexed his shoulders. “Did you enjoy that?” He asked, out of breath, his back still turned to me.
“Yes,” I whispered, my cheeks flaming red.
He turned around a dimpled smile on his face. My eyes trailed down his stomach, not even caring that I was checking him
out.
He slipped the gloves off his hands, approaching me until he was towering over me. He grabbed me by the waist, pulling me to his chest, and then his lips were on mine. It had happened so suddenly but I was quick to return the kiss.
I felt his hand slide over the curve of my ass, slipping underneath the t–shirt before he gave it a hard squeeze. I gasped, feeling his smile against my lips.
“Good afternoon, Bellissima. Did you sleep well?” He mumbled, gently stroking my skin. He was an ass man.
“You made sure that I did,” I said, looking up at him.
He gave me another smile. He had a happy glint in his eyes, very different from when he returned home last night.

“Wanna eat?” He asked, kissing the tip of my nose.
“Yes.” I grinned. “Do you?”
He smirked mischievously, eyeing me. “I always want to eat.”

The innuendo was painfully obvious, and I chuckled as I shook my head. “Let me get dressed and then we can leave.”
“Leave? No, mi amore. I gave Guila the day off just so I could make you breakfast.” He said, grinning.
What was it about Leonardo that made him so fucking attractive

I was alone in the house again after Leonardo had to leave for some urgent business.
The food he made earlier tasted great and I was honestly impressed by his culinary expertise.
I sat on the counter next to the bar and poured myself a glass of wine. The door to the house slowly opened and I was already giddy with excitement, thinking it was Leonardo.
But when Anthonio pops his head round the door, I exhale a slow breath.
“Now, I’m offended. You don’t look too happy to see me.”
“Hey,” I said, laughing. I push off the counter with my wine glass in hand.
“Hey, Al.” He said, giving me a big hug. “How are things going?”
I nodded in his chest. “Going well. And don’t you ever think that I’m not excited to see you? I just thought you were someone else.” I said, breaking off the hug.
“Of course.” He winked at me and I found myself blushing.
“So how are things going?” I repeated the question back at him.
He shakes his hair away from his eyes and when he doesn’t say anything straight away, I slant my head to the side.
“Dad’s okay?” I asked. I might not care much for the old man but he was still
my
dad.
“He’s fine. Shit’s just been rough and it’s probably best not to discuss it without Leonardo if I want to keep my eyeballs.”
I take a sip from my wine glass, rolling my eyes
“He has too much power.” Anthonio crossed his arms over his chest. “Which is why I refuse to cross him.”
I scoff silently. “He knows what he’s doing.” “Precisely.”
“Hey, do you wanna go out?” I said, catching him by surprise.
He tilts his head slowly. “Out?”
“Yeah…” I trail off. “Qut. Out.”

Anthonio drops a hand from his cheat and runs it through his hair. “Al, you know we can’t.” My expression drops. “But why? You’re my brother and what will one night do?”
I’m praying his silence is him deliberating my offer. I knew he loved going out and I get that things must’ve probably changed since the last time we were together but what’s the harm in having a little fun?
“It’s gonna cost me an early grave.” He responds and I roll my eyes again.
“Oh, come on.” I step closer to him. “You have a gun, right? We can go to the less obvious spots. And after the tragic events of the past few weeks, I really do need all the excuses I can get to hang out and especially with my brother.”
I chew on my lip, swaying on my feet. “So shall we go out?”
Anthonio closes his eyes and angles his head up to the ceiling. “Ugh.” He groans. “You’re such a bad influence. Of course, you’re related to me.”
“Please?”
“I came to grab some papers.” He drops his shoulders. “But do they need you to go back?” I asked.
“No, but–““Please?”
Anthonio stares at me for a couple more moments and then sighs. “Fuck it.” He huffy out a breath. “Fine.”
I jump on my toes and wrap my arms around his neck tightly. “Thank you, thank you, thank you. You’re the best!”
Anthonio chuckles lightly and I knew I had him right where I wanted him.
Brothers…
