Fire in the Heart

He doesn’t question anything, simply holding his hand out to Leo, who takes it, giving it a firm shake before he winks at Corrado. “Hello.” Corrado tilted his head. “Hello. Who are you?” “I’m a frien-“ “This is one of my brothers. Atlas,” I announce, cutting Atlas off. He looks up at me, surprise clear…

Something totally special. I’m going to hear that often, aren’t I? Absolutely. Once I have said goodbye to the Rossis, I get into the car. Alessandra isn’t around, but I met her in the morning before she left. Leo leans over, shutting the door for me and kissing me softly. I kiss him back before…

“I’m not a fucking god that I can see the future. Now end this shit. It’s fucking done. Don’t make me regret even allowing Kiara to try,” I snarl, my eyes flashing. “This isn’t over, Al – relax. I know you’re upset,” Kiara whispers, cupping his face and forcing him to look at her. “Fucking…

“But what?” I ask. He looks at us before turning back to the night sky. “It’s just a little clue, but I’m sure you’ll figure it out…” Clue? He sighs softly before he continues, “When the full moon is at its peak, only in those moments can the Heart of Fire heal all. Find it,…

Hey, I’m not that bad! You’re as bad as they get, I reply huskily. Yeah? Well, you like it… The memory of earlier in the shower comes back to me, and, fuck, just the thought is a damn turn-on… Without a fucking doubt. She laughs, See you later. Have fun with your cousins; I’ll be…

We fall silent as a soft wind blows around us, and I suddenly realise that this isn’t so fucking bad. Am I actually just relaxing with these two? Well, shit… seems like I am. “Another round,” Rayhan says, motioning to the waitress who stands to the side. She doesn’t take long, bringing us a fresh…

And the fucking biggest… He can’t read minds, can he? That means that the bastard is about to- yeah. He fucking got in… I cast both men a cold glare before hitting the gas and turning the car violently, speeding towards the gates. Great, now I am in the same fucking car as him… “This…

Fine, but I don’t want anyone else to know. His voice is quiet, and he has his emotions masked, so even I don’t know what he is feeling. It’s going to be okay, I say, but the fact that he doesn’t think Kiara can heal him eats me up. It is scary to know that…
