If Ella were back in Long Harbor, she’d tell him to leave in a heartbeat. But now, she didn’t dare.

After a moment, she told Stephanie, “We’ll talk about it when you get to Fiorenza.”

She couldn’t stand another minute with Lorenzo, but she had no choice. It was maddening.

When Ella hung up, she went to open the door, but Lorenzo was already gone. She went downstairs and found it empty. She figured Lorenzo had gone to his room and the others had left.

Ella glanced around to make sure no one was around, then hurried to find some water. Her throat was on fire, and she needed to cool it down. After a few gulps, she made her way to Lorenzo’s room.

She’d learned her lesson about barging in unannounced. After several soft knocks, she pressed her ear to the door, listening for any noise inside. Too many surprises had happened here, and Ella was on high alert.

“Come in, Lorenzo’s voice called from inside. Only then did Ella slowly push the door open.

She didn’t dare to look at Lorenzo directly. Instead, she let her gaze drift over him slowly. When she saw he was shirtless, her heart skipped a beat.

Only now did she realize that the tattoo she’d seen on Lorenzo’s neck was actually the eyes of the wolf. Seeing the full image, she found it almost menacing, making her heart tremble.

“Why are you just standing there? Get over here,” Lorenzo said coldly, pulling Ella back to reality.

Ella clutched the door frame and stammered, “C–cover yourself.” She thought to herself, ‘He doesn’t seem to realize how great his body looks.’

Lorenzo raised an eyebrow. “What?”
