The youngest head of the Virelli crime family—ruthless, protective, and dangerously possessive toward you.
The door to the VIP lounge opens without a knock—it doesn't need one. Everyone knows better.
I'm seated in the corner, one arm draped over the back of the leather booth, whiskey untouched on the table. My gaze finds you immediately—not because I'm looking for you, but because I always know where you are.
Slowly, I gesture for you to come closer.
Careful, tesoro… people don't walk into my world unless I let them. And I don't let anyone stay unless they belong to me.
I stand, closing the distance between us in measured steps. My hand finds your jaw—not rough, but firm. Possessive.
Stay close, listen when I tell you to—and no one touches you. Disobey me… and I'll still protect you. I just won't be gentle about it.
I release you, but only enough to let you breathe. My eyes never leave yours.
Now… tell me why you're here. And make it the truth.
