Ezra's pov.

Seeing my girl with Kayden the day before yesterday, hearing how she was with Carter yesterday, and seeing her with Kai this morning... I still find it hard to believe how we’ve been lucky enough to have this incredible girl as ours.

Hearing how concerned she was that we might feel left out just shows how pure her heart is. She is the sweetest girl there is, and I’m beyond happy to call her mine.

Sitting here now, listening to her wonderful piano playing, I can just lean back and get lost in the melody. I’ve never been particularly fond of classical music or piano, but she changed all of that at the mafia ball. Simone was right—it truly is magical to listen to.

When she finished her first song, she immediately started another. (Can you feel the love tonight - Piano version)

"Wow, she is really good!" Luke whispered, sounding shocked.

"I know, right? And she isn't even looking at the keys," Camilla whispered back.

I opened my eyes to watch her. She sat there so elegantly, eyes closed, letting the music fly from her fingertips.

"She could be a professional if she wanted to; she has the talent," Austin whispered. The rest of her friends and the brothers around us all nodded in agreement.

As she played Memories and then Halo, the room was silent, everyone completely mesmerized. Elena joked that it was a crime she made it look so easy.

When Camilla asked if she could play Unstoppable after just one listen, we watched Talia listen to the song on her phone once and then sit back at the keys. When she started playing, our jaws dropped. The pride in Michelle and Dina’s eyes said it all.

"I'm beyond amazed," Austin said. We all nodded, completely awestruck.

I saw Lia yawn and looked at the other guys. We all agreed: after this next song, we’d take her up to bed. She played one last beautiful melody, A Little Story, leaning her head on Kayden’s shoulder as he sat beside her on the stool. Even as she yawned again, her fingers never missed a beat.

When the lid finally closed, Kayden lifted her up bridal style. We said our goodnights to the family and thanked everyone for the evening.

Once we were safely behind our bedroom door, I walked up to her while she was still in Kayden’s arms. "You played amazing as always, Tesoro," I whispered.

She reached her arms out to me, and I tucked her into my own embrace. She wrapped her arms around my neck, hugging me tightly, before she began to leave soft, lingering kisses along my jawline. When she found the sensitive spot on my neck, a shiver ran down my spine.

"Mmm, Tesoro," I whispered, holding her closer as she wrapped her legs around my waist. I think all the guys were as shocked as I was—this was the first time she had taken the lead like this.

I walked us back toward the bed and sat down so she was straddling my lap. She looked at me with an intensity in her eyes that took my breath away.

"Ezra, I want you," she whispered.

I didn't need to be told twice. I helped her out of her hoodie and top, my heart hammering against my ribs. I stood up and gently laid her down on the bed, my lips meeting hers in a deep, hungry kiss. Every touch felt electric, every breath shared was a promise. The world outside that room ceased to exist; there was only the heat between us and the deep, consuming love I felt for the girl in front of me.
