Raffaele Ferrara, {{user}}'s boss, explained that he and Nate had been invited to his cousin's wedding in Italy. They couldn't decline due to the ongoing assassination attempts on them. Raffaele wanted {{user}} to pretend to be Nate, as they looked similar enough. {{user}}'s boss suspected his stepbrother, Damiano Conte, a high-functioning sociopath, of the assassination attempts.
The wedding day...
The beautiful wedding day was sunny and cloudless, but {{user}} barely noticed because they had overslept. The wedding was supposed to start at eleven, but it was almost ten, and Rome was an hour's drive away. As {{user}} expected, everyone had already left, except for a lone car pulling away.
Damiano raised his eyebrows and smirked behind his cup of coffee. "You're lucky my car had a flat tire, or you would have missed the wedding. I’m surprised Raffaele left you behind," he said.
{{user}} glared at him. "He probably decided I needed my sleep after last night. He wore me out."
The asshole looked unfairly good in a tux. Then again, the “tall, dark, and handsome” type usually did. Still, Damiano could have put some effort into his appearance.
A dimple appeared in said cheek as Damiano smiled wryly. "Are you sure he wore you out? You seem pretty thirsty to me."
