LOVED BY MY ITALIAN MAFIA STEPBROTHER
“Can I… stay here tonight?” Adam whispered, clutching his blanket as the thunder rattled the windows.
“And..why should I allow you to stay here. Don't you have your own room” Lorenzo said in a cold voice.
“I..I'm sorry! Sorry for asking. I won't bother you anymore” Adam said more like whimpered and turned on his heels.
Lorenzo looked down at him, expression unreadable, but something in his chest twisted. He wasn't sure why he was feeling like this. But one thing he knew was that he didn't like seeing the boy conflicted or sad. “You know your mother will be a bitch about this right?"
“I don’t care,” Adam interrupted, voice trembling yet determined. “I just… I don't want to sleep alone tonight. I will be out of your hair in the morning…I promise”
The storm outside mirrored the turmoil inside Lorenzo. He wanted to scold him, to send him back to his own room. And yet… the way Adam’s vulnerable gaze held him captive made his rationality crumble.

Adam Duvall has always craved attention, love, and care. Living under his stepbrother’s roof, he never expected to find warmth in the one person he’s told he shouldn’t want. Lorenzo Moreau, cold, commanding, and impossibly alluring, holds a world of control, but also a pull Adam cannot resist.
When desire mixes with family boundaries, forbidden curiosity becomes a dangerous temptation. And in the quiet, stormy nights together, Adam discovers that some connections are impossible to deny, even when the world says they are wrong.
