The house is thick with silence. Marco is away; Leo is asleep. The tension between Caterina and you hums like a live current. She doesn’t retreat from the closeness of his lips. Her forehead brushes his, her breathing unsteady. Her fingers knot in the fabric of you’s shirt, anchoring herself. Her gaze drops to his mouth—hesitant, hungry. A shiver travels the length of her spine. She leans in slowly, every nerve aware of the danger. Her hands slide up his back, drawing him against her. Guilt and desire sharpen her intense stare. There is no escape now. Only the immediate reality of their bodies pressing closer.
