“Do you want one?”

“No.” He said immediately.

“It’s okay, Damiano. I will give you a hug.” She quickly went over to him and hugged him while he remained seated and as still as he could. I laughed when Damiano’s frown only deepened when she wrapped her arms around him.

Now I understood what they meant when they always cringed at me and Lorenzo. I could just see how awkward Damiano was feeling right now.

“See! It’s not that bad, is it?” Cara was smiling right in his face, and he responded with a blank look.

“I had no idea my brothers were this awkward. This hurts too much to look at.” Arianna sighed and shook her head when Damiano still had no intention of returning Cara’s hug. It even made my mother have the faintest smile on her lips as she watched us.

“Let’s get out before they notice we have been gone for too long.” I took one last glance in the mirror to make sure I didn’t look like someone who just got fucked in the bathroom. Even though it was exactly what had just happened.

I unlocked the door and swung it open, only to stop. My eyes immediately met with Lorenzo’s.

He was slouched against the wall, his arms crossed and a teasing smirk on his face. He made a tsking sound as he shook his head.

“Had fun?” Lorenzo asked with a raised brow. My face was burning to the point I was sure I looked like a bright red tomato.

“What are you doing here?!” I scowled, trying to fight through the embarrassment.

“I was looking for my brother, but it seemed he was rather busy. I didn’t want to interrupt.”

“So, you just thought you would stand here and listen, you pervert!” I whisper-yelled so that the others wouldn’t hear.

“I wouldn’t have heard a thing if you weren’t being so loud.” He pointed out and then looked at Damiano. “I see you got yourself a screamer, brother.” Lorenzo’s smirk widened, making me want to scream at him for saying such things.

“You have no idea.” Damiano replied with a smirk. I turned around so fast to face him and slapped him on the chest.

“D-don’t say that!”

“Are you done?” Lorenzo asked Damiano, still with his stupid smirk.

“For now. Just had to make sure she stays pregnant.” Damiano winked at me, and my jaw dropped. “So eager to please me today, aren’t you?” He chuckled, placing a finger under my chin to close my mouth.

Words refused to come out at this moment. I felt completely mortified. Without saying anything, I walked away from the brothers, only to feel a hand grab me and turn me around.

Damiano placed his hand behind my neck and leaned down to kiss me.

“I love you. Now, you can go.” He whispered against my lips. If it was possible to blush anymore, I would have.

My body was so hot it was unbearable as I turned around once again to walk away. I let out a surprised gasp when he slapped my ass hard, making me almost run away from them.

“Horny bastard.” Lorenzo chuckled, and I wanted to die on the spot.

The sound of laughter reached my ears when I entered the living room, a smile immediately on my face when I saw them all sitting close together. They had opened a new bottle of wine while they were looking through the family album.

“Look who decided to show up.” Arianna commented as I took a seat. Cara wiggled her brows at me.

“She totally just had a quickie with your brother.”

“Cara!” I almost screamed her name, and Arianna looked at us with disgust. Cara quickly clamped her mouth shut and looked at my mother, completely forgetting she was there.

“I’m going to pretend I didn’t hear that…” My mother uncomfortably cleared her throat, and I avoided making eye contact with her.

“Tell me about it.” Arianna muttered in disgust and poured more wine for my mother.

“I’ll get drunk if I drink any more tonight.” My mother tried to stop her.
