Gio weaved in and out of people at Pulse, avoiding the hands of random people trying to pull in him to dance. He wasn’t in the mood to party.

In fact, now that he thought about it, he hadn’t been in the mood to get himself lost for a long fucking time. He hadn’t done a whole hell of a lot since coming out to Vegas, either. Not since that first night he tracked Kim down, anyway. The Molly he’d indulged in then was the last substance he put into his body other than cognac and cigarettes.

Gio couldn’t remember a time when he had ever gone that long without getting high or smashed in some way. Probably longer than he wanted to admit. It was like doing that shit had become a part of his identity. Gio was the crazy one of his brothers—always unpredictable and reckless.

A distant part of him laughed it off and said he was in control. The sober part knew that wasn’t the case. Thinking about it with a clear head, Gio understood what he thought he was doing because he enjoyed it had become more of a habit than a pleasure. It didn’t make a difference if the habit was one he didn’t depend on to function; the issue was still real.

Gio didn’t even have to wonder what had changed to make the partying unneeded in his life. Kim. Wasn’t it always about her, now? It helped that he never had to wonder why he liked the darker scene of a partying lifestyle. Chasing down the desire to feel something other than boredom had been a pastime of his forever. Nothing was ever boring with Kim.

And hell, did she ever make him feel.

Fuck.

He probably owed a few people an apology or two.

Later, Gio told himself, still pushing through the crushing sea of people in search of Kim. Deal with that shit later.

A brief flash of blonde and blue caught Gio’s attention out of the corner of his eye. It disappeared back into the swaying wave of people almost instantly. Like an invisible rope was tied to his middle and forcing him to move, he instinctively changed directions and moved towards whatever—or whoever—that might have been.

Jesus, he hoped it was Kim.

In no way did Gio want to return her to Franco’s abusive ways, but he needed to know she was okay. For his peace of mind and to get that dull ache out of his heart and chest, he had to know.

The closer Gio came to the spot, the more the people moved with the music. Faster, harder. He ignored the goers, skimming over faces in search of the one he wanted to find. Even the techno pounding through the speakers vibrated the floorboards. Being sober, Gio felt suffocated by the people surrounding him.

Pushing his way through another wall of bodies, he spotted Kim. Gio stopped, all of the air rushing out of his lungs in one hard breath. Someone slammed into his back, causing him to stumble.
