1. 61. A Mansion full of Rossis 

AZURA. 

The journey had been pleasant despite feeling a little nauseous at times, I wouldn‘t have changed anything about it. Leo‘s constant touches, the way he caressed my thigh, the way he tilted his head as he drove, giving me the perfect angle of that sexy jaw of his; or the way he looked at me... well, I couldn‘t focus on anything else much. 

But there was one thing that really got to me. It was the tin of cookies that Jackie had given me. There inside, was a small square of paper with the words ‘read when alone‘ on it, tucked under the first layer of cookies. 

I had been curious, but with Leo being so sharp, I had snuck the note into my boot to check later. 

Song, me, and the twins had texted a little too, and both the twins had been disappointed that they were at the academy. As for Song, she had a die–hard crush on Rayhan for ages. 

Well, that wasn‘t anything to be surprised about. He was damn handsome, and the majority of the girls at the academy were smitten with him. Rayhan was much like the Arden twins. All were rich, sexy, and powerful, although those brothers had been abroad for a few years. With Rayhan being here in the country, we heard of him often, and then there was the fact that he was mated. There was just something about wanting something you couldn‘t have, that was enticing... 

Sky used to even sell his pictures, which she would take sneakily, for pretty high prices, and the girls would happily buy them, as well as a couple of the boys. 

The moment he stepped out of the mansion, I heard Song gasp, squeezing my arm. 

She sure had a strong grip! 

But it was Leo who had my attention. His entire body tensed, and his eyes seemed to become far colder than I had ever seen them. His aura was raging around him and even Corrado looked scared in Alejandro‘s arm, clearly sensing the tension. 

I reached out, wrapping my hand over Leo‘s larger fisted one, and it felt like something snapped between the cousins, and Leo looked at me. 

‘You got this.‘I said, as he slowly took my hand, giving it a squeeze. 

Rayhan walked towards us, glancing at me and giving me a small smile. 

“Hey Azura, it‘s been a while. How have you been?” He asked, stopping beside Alejandro. “I‘ve been great. How are you?” I asked, feeling my cheeks heat a little under his gaze. 

Dammit Azura, focus. 

Yup, he was damn handsome… 

“Yeah, fucking focus.‘ Leo‘s cold voice came through the link, giving me a pointed look. I slammed my walls up thinking I did not need Leo to know that I did find his older cousin pretty handsome... Can you blame me? He was absolutely yummy. Ok Leo was yummier and way sexier, but that did not take away from the model–like God in front of me. 

Urgh, focus girl. 

So, my mate had, or shall I say has, a crush on that bastard?‘ Leo the ever–smartass, remarked. 

Was I that obvious? 

He wasn‘t looking at me, but I wasn‘t sure if he was annoyed or not... Well, I sure hoped not. But I guess if he had a crush on someone I disliked, I wouldn‘t be happy. 

‘Hey, I liked him when I was like ten, he was my first crush, and it was just a silly little girl‘s fantasy.‘ I retorted. 

His eyebrow shot up, his eyes flashed steel blue, and I kind of think I made it worse. 

‘Don‘t blame me, it‘s the damn Rossi gene. Maybe it was because he looked a lot like my future mate?‘ I tried, putting on my best innocent face. “Wait, are you jealous?‘ I taunted. 

His frown deepened and I realised I really was making it worse. 

“Rayhan! This is Song, my friend...” I said, pushing Song forward, hoping Leo didn‘t push it. 

She gave me a glare, her face on fire as Rayhan gave her one of his charming smiles. 

“Nice to meet you.” He replied in his sexy melodic voice, taking her hand and giving it a kiss. 

Song squeaked, and I couldn‘t help but chuckle.
