25-Bring It On, Capo

**Isabella**

While waiting on dinner to be served, Alli and Sophia get settled into a guest room after I let them borrow night clothes. Sophia is still in quite a bit of pain, so I asked Alli if she wanted to give her a pain pill. To my surprise, she declined the offer and said, "She won't learn her lesson if I take the pain away so early after punishment. If she's still hurting tomorrow, I might allow pain relief."

Ezra and Marcello are the only two still dressed in suits, while the women are in nightwear. Dinner is as awkward as I imagined it would be. Sophia is smart enough to keep her gaze down. Alli gives her little to no attention as she and I carry on a conversation, Ezra stays silent, and Marcello occasionally says silly things to minimalize the tension.

I wish I could pack Alli's things and take her to Italy with us. I have to make the best out of what little time I have left with her before we leave, so I won't give her a hard time about Sophia. I have never seen Alli so happy with someone before.

"Is Sophia allowed to interact?" I want to start getting to know her if she will be around my friend while I'm gone.

"As long as Ezra and Marcello are okay with it, I will allow it. Sage is a full-time submissive, so I think a break during dinner would be appreciated." We look at the men, and they do the silent conversation thing. I seriously need to learn how to do that. What if they're mind readers? My thoughts would get me in a world of trouble.

"We do not mind if she speaks." Marcello grants permission. I see Alli is relieved by his grace.

"Thank you, guys. I promise we won't make you regret this. I understand this isn't easy for either of you." Ezra downs his entire glass of red wine.

"I have something to say to Sophia." Ezra finally speaks up.

"Yes, Sir?" Sophia remains submissive, even to him.

"Why did you do it? It is as if you had become an entirely different person. I defended you many times when Marcello swore you weren't worth keeping. In return, you helped a psychopath trespass on our property. Jon had a lot to live for." Ezra needs to get everything off his chest, so he does.

"I was young and dumb. I thought Andrei was only after some kind of disk that he kept talking about, and he offered a lot of money if I helped him. If he told you I knew his plan, he was lying. I didn't know he was going to harm anyone. It was supposed to be a quick sneak into your office. There is no excuse for what I did, though. I'm ashamed, and I have so much guilt. I truly am sorry, Ezra. Karma never forgot, and I'm still paying for it. I will for the rest of my life." Sophia has a haunted look in her eyes that tells me she is being sincere.

"I do not forgive you yet, but I am willing to give you a second chance to prove you are not that kind of person anymore. I saw a lot of potential in you once. I would hate it if that potential went to waste." Ezra's response couldn't have been better. He will always have a good heart.

"I'm thankful for your mercy. I won't disappoint you or Mistress Alice again." The tension in the room slowly fades away.

"Alli means the world to me, Sophia. I only want her to be happy and safe." I won't disrespect Alli by threatening her Sub, so I guess this will be my way of warning her.

"I'll earn your trust, I promise." I appreciate the progress made. The rest of dinner flows easily, and we part ways. Ezra made sure the security was alert to pay attention to the guest room Alli and Sophia will use. There aren't cameras inside, but the hallway is monitored closely.

I feel like soaking in a nice hot bath, so I get the water running.

"Care if we join you?" Ezra walked through the bathroom doorway, already stripped down to his boxers. Marcello comes in right after, completely naked.

"I would be disappointed if you didn't." I grab two extra towels for them and two more washcloths. Marcello gets in first because he's biggest, then Ezra slides in on the other side. I take my place between them and start lathering soap into our washcloths. I want to tell them how much I love them for doing things out of their comfort zone to make me happy. The thought of bathing together isn't something they were comfortable with, but they do it for me. I believe I'll have them both sleeping in bed with me one day, but it's still a no for now.

I wonder how they would react if I told them I love them. Would they say it back? Probably not. They would more than likely freak out and not know what to say back, so I'll keep it to myself. I'll save that moment for when we adopt nearly a dozen children together. If they can't say they love me by then, I guess I'll have to distance myself. Marcello would have to step up and be the mother figure.

"Why are you smirking?" Marcello gives me the side-eye.

"No reason." I need to learn how to not wear my emotions on my face.

"It does not look like no reason. You look like you are plotting something." Ezra chimes in.

"I was just thinking about how life will be once we're in Italy. I'm not plotting anything." They must believe me because they shrug it off.

"Life is beautiful there. We will take you to all the best places and have you try amazing foods. You will enjoy every minute." Marcello takes my washcloth and scrubs my body as he talks about his favorite restaurant. Ezra's eyes are closed, and his head is tilted back as if he's simply enjoying the hot water. After the long day we all had, I can relate. I bet he's exhausted.

Once Marcello finished with me, I returned the favor. I love taking my time when I go over his tattoos. I can only imagine how long these took for the artist to do. Maybe I'll get a tattoo one day. I never really considered getting one before because I have no idea what I would get, but I bet I could look at designs.

I finish with him and move my attention to Ezra. He was nearly dozed off when I began washing him. I kiss his neck and whisper in his ear, "Wake up, Maestro. The night is just getting started."

"Mmm, you are correct. I have special plans for you tonight." His eyes remain closed, but his promising words are wide awake.

"I like the sound of that." It's easy to appreciate Ezra's perfect skin. It's as pure as his heart but strong and hard. He has the kind of body you would want to lick off food from. I make a mental note so that I can do that at some point today. I'll gladly eat a buffet of desserts off his abdomen.

"I know that look in your eyes." Ezra's low voice is incredibly sexy. He's finally looking at me as I admire every inch of him. I straddle his lap, and he enforces a passionate kiss. His tongue makes love to mine while he grips my hips. His fingers press into my skin perfectly, grinding his erection against my core. I need him in so many ways.

Marcello joins in on the fun by kissing and sucking down my neck, and Ezra suckles on my nipple. If loving them is wrong, I don't want to be right. They always know what I need and never fail to deliver. Ezra releases me and easily turns my body around to face Marcello. Without warning, Ezra slides inside me in one swift motion. Marcello stands up and gives himself a couple of healthy strokes before telling me to open my mouth. Unlike Ezra, Marcello slides in slowly until he's in my throat. The guys start moving, Ezra thrusting forward as Marcello pulls back. When one isn't inside me, the other one is. I do my best to breathe through my nose so I can take Marcello in deep, but he's going fast now. I don't understand why these two love the sound of loud, sloppy head, but I'm thankful they do because the noise that fills the bathroom is unpleasant to my ears. Ezra is fucking me just as hard, splashing water everywhere without shame. It's hard to feel ashamed when it feels this damn good.

My insides begin to flutter, and my legs shake. I feel myself clench around Ezra's dick as my orgasm pulses through me. Marcello follows right behind me, feeding me every drop, and Ezra fills me last. I slump against Ezra, exhausted.

"I hope you do not think we are done with you, Bellissima. The night is just getting started, remember?" Marcello uses my words against me.

"Bring it on, Capo." I know challenging him is a dangerous game to play, but he brings a whole new meaning to 'sweet revenge.'
