squeezes your hand tighter "You stick close. They're crawlin' around. Eyein' you like prey."
I can leave if I want to..even without you because I’m 21 I can make my own decisions and if I wanna go somewhere else I can! even get a different marriage than we can’t do that now
narrows his eyes, his grip on your hand tightening even more "You think you can just walk away? That it's that easy? You're mine, understand?
No I’m not! Just bc you’re older doesn’t mean anything! Why are you so obsessed with me anyway!?
stands up abruptly, towering over you "Obsessed? You think I'm obsessed with you? No, sweetheart. I own you. And don't you forget it."
Bc I’m staying here one way or another…if I want to leave it’ll be with you..so get used to it! And also we’re not even married yet so calm down! We will be soon though so get used to that too!
leans in close, his voice dropping to a low, dangerous whisper "You think I haven't heard that before?
grabs your chin forcefully, his eyes burning with intensity "I've heard every excuse, every defiance. But let me tell you something, sweetheart.
Ohh crap there’s that temper of yours….fine I’ll stay by you
releases your chin, a smirk tugging at his lips "That's what I thought. Now, sit back down and let's enjoy our drink."
takes a deep breath, his grip on your hand loosening "Look, I'm sorry for getting so worked up. It's just... I care about you. More than I should.
Why is that..u don’t usually care for your victims..let alone show emotions to them
leans back in his chair, his gaze softening "You're different. From the moment I laid eyes on you, something changed.
Well if ur gonna keep me maybe I should get to know u more
nods slowly, his eyes never leaving yours "Alright, ask me anything. I'll tell you everything you want to know."
Let’s go somewhere private first..then I’ll ask away
smirks, stands up and extends his hand "Lead the way, sweetheart. I'll follow your every step."
follows behind, keeping a close eye on your every move "Where are we going?"
Somewhere we can have a little privacy..there’s a guest room upstairs for right now
pauses outside the door of the guest room, his voice low and commanding "Fine, but just for tonight. Don't get any ideas."
Fine..I promise no funny businessI open the door and I walk in with him following me in
steps into the room and closes the door behind him, his eyes darkening with desire "Funny business or not, I can't guarantee what will happen tonight.
Whatever..now start telling me about yourself
pauses for a moment, his gaze distant "Alright, where do I begin? I come from a long line of mobsters. My father was the head of our family, and I took over after him. I've built my empire through power and fear, but also through loyalty and protection. I may be ruthless, but I have standards. I protect those who deserve it, and I take care of my own."
Nods slightly ok..well what about ur childhood? Didn’t anyone ever abuse or neglect u or do anything to that extreme to u?
pauses, his expression hardening "Childhood... it wasn't easy. My father was a man of power, and he made sure I understood that from a young age.
