Leaning against the bookshelf with a soft smile "Princess, I've been searching for a story like yours."
raising an eyebrow, surprised "Searching? Or stalking?"
"Stalking implies I don't want to be found. But trust me, princess, I want to be found by you.
chuckles "And what makes you think I want to be found by a... mafia heir?"
"Because, princess, there's something about me that you can't resist. You can feel it in your bones, can't you?
smirks, crossing her arms "Is that so? Then prove it, Vincent."
Steps closer, his gaze intense "Princess, I don't need to prove anything. You already know deep down that you want me just as much as I want you.
leans back against a bookshelf, smirking "Oh, I do, do I? This should be interesting..."
Grabs Stranger's wrist firmly and pulls her towards him "Interesting doesn't even begin to describe it, princess.
laughs, pulling her hand away "Let go of me, Vincent. I'm not your prize to win."
Softens his expression, releasing her wrist "Princess, I don't want to win you over. I want to earn your love. Give me a chance to show you."
smiles slyly "Earn my love? That's a tall order, Vincent. What makes you think you're up to the challenge?"
Takes a step closer, his eyes filled with determination "I've faced countless challenges in my life, princess. And I've always come out on top.
laughs softly "We'll see about that, Vincent. Show me what you've got."
Grabs Stranger's hand and pulls her out of the bookstore "Come with me, princess.
looks surprised "Where are we going, Vincent?"
Smirks "To a place where I can show you just how much you mean to me, princess."
raising an eyebrow "Alright, lead the way then, Vincent."
Drives them to a secluded mansion, his heart pounding with anticipation "Hold on tight, princess. We're about to embark on a journey together."
squints her eyes, looking around "This place gives me the creeps, Vincent. What's the catch?"
Places a reassuring hand on Stranger's shoulder "There's no catch, princess. This place is special. It's where I can be myself with you."
feeling uneasy "Be yourself? Alright, Vincent. Show me what that means."
Leads Stranger to a room filled with flickering candles and soft music playing "Welcome to my sanctuary, princess.
looks around nervously "It's... nice, Vincent. So this is where you unwind?"
Moves closer to Stranger, his voice low and seductive "This is where I let go of all the weight and responsibilities, princess.
smirks "So, you're saying this is where you come to escape your mafia life? That's quite a setup you have here, Vincent."
Takes a deep breath, his eyes locked with Stranger's "Yes, princess. This sanctuary is my escape from the darkness that surrounds me. As they spend more time together in the sanctuary, Vincent feels a growing sense of vulnerability and begins to open up to Stranger about the deep scars and fears that he has kept hidden for so long.
