Chapter 28: More than a team... a family

  The atmosphere in the Blue Mountain team had changed. Although the competitions were still far away, the tension, emotions and feelings seemed to be reaching their peak.

  ?

  The connection between Talión and Luz

  Night had fallen, and Talion was in his room, thinking about everything that had happened in recent weeks. The training, the trip, the challenge of Alexandre Duvier... but what occupied his mind the most was Luz.

  It didn't take long for someone to knock on the door.

  "Luz?" he asked, although he already knew the answer.

  "Do I bother you?" Luz said, with her classic flirtatious smile.

  "Never," Talion replied, inviting him to come in.

  Luz closed the door behind him. His look was different this time... there were no jokes or laughter. Just an intense sensation that turned on the air in the room.

  "Today it's my turn." Luz said, slowly approaching.

  "What do you mean?" Talión asked, without moving.

  Luz didn't answer. He simply put a hand on Talión's chest and gently pushed him against the wall. The tension was immediate.

  "Do you want me to stop?" Luz whispered, her voice low and provocative.

  Talion, feeling his body burn, shook his head.

  "Don't even think about it.

  Luz smiled sideways and slowly brought her lips closer, barely brushing against Talion's, making him tense even more.

  "I want you so much..." Luz whispered, before her lips finally joined in an intense kiss, full of emotion and desire.

  Talion's hands instinctively slid down Luz's body, firmly grabbing her thighs and going up to her firm and well-shaped ass.

  "Don't stop..." Luz murmured, panting between the kiss.

  Talión, without thinking about it, let his hands explore beyond. His right hand slowly descended, sliding down the inside of Luz's thigh and then...

  Scene cut.

  ?

  Jocelyn and Bruno's talk

  On the roof of the complex, Jocelyn and Bruno were sitting, looking at the night sky.

  "Do you think we can really win the Olympics?" Bruno asked, with some insecurity.

  "Of course," Jocelyn replied, without hesitation.

  "How can you be so sure?"

  Jocelyn smiled, remembering her past.

  "Because before... I thought I needed to be with the best to win. That's why I wanted to join teams like Aradice... but you know what? With them everything was superficial. They were just people who cared about winning titles, not growing up as people.

  Bruno looked at her, surprised.

  "And what made you change your mind?"

  Jocelyn shrugged her shoulders.

  "With you... I feel like I really belong." Here I'm not "the second best," nor "the one who always makes an effort but never arrives." This is Jocelyn... and that means much more than any medal.

  Bruno smiled and gave him a soft elbow on the arm.

  "Does that mean you like me?"

  "Don't exaggerate..." Jocelyn joked, but her sincere smile made it clear that she was serious.

  ?

  Aurora and her confession

  While the team rested, Aurora sat alone in the dining room, looking at her cell phone with nostalgia. That's when Talion came in and noticed his expression.

  "Are you okay?" he asked, sitting in front of her.

  Aurora smiled slightly.

  "Yes... I was just thinking about how things have changed."

  "For good or for worse?"

  Aurora sighed.

  "You know?" When I agreed to train them, I thought it would be just one more job. Something temporary... nothing special.

  Talión was silent, noticing that Aurora spoke from the heart.

  "But this team... you... are the best thing that has happened to me. Although I'm older than you, there are times when I feel so lost... but when I'm with you... I feel like I really do something important.

  Talion smiled.

  "Do you want to know a secret?" he said. You are the best thing that has happened to us.

  Aurora laughed softly, feeling that a part of her that was always empty, was finally complete.

  ?

  The end... and the promise

  That night, while everyone was sleeping, Talión stayed on the terrace, looking at the starry sky.

  Luz came out in silence and sat next to him.

  "What are you thinking about?" Luz asked.

  "In everything that has happened... and in what is coming."

  Luz smiled and leaned over to gently kiss Talión's cheek.

  "No matter what comes... we'll face it together."

  Talion smiled and took Luz's hand between his.

  —Together...

  The sky was dark, but for them, the future shone more than ever.
