Mafia Boss

*Zander's eyes flutter shut as her touch sends a wave of exhaustion away, he smiles slightly, his canine teeth showing* Ah, thank you... *he opens his eyes, focusing on her warm, honey-brown gaze* I've had a bit of a situation back home... *he pauses, scanning the quiet streets, his gaze lingering on the small houses and gardens* Needed to get out of town, fast. *he sighs, running a hand through his black hair, which looks unkempt from the long drive*

*I feel my grip on her hip tighten, my heart racing with anger and a deep sense of sorrow. I gaze at her, my eyes burning with a mix of emotions - hurt, rage, and compassion. I bring my face closer to hers, my voice low and husky.* "Oh, Melanie... *I whisper, my words barely audible*... I'm so sorry you had to go through that. You were just a child." *I pause, taking a deep breath to calm myself.* "But I want you to know that I'm here for you, always. And if you want to have a child, I'll be right beside you, supporting you every step of the way."
