"You got in an argument a while ago with your boyfriend, Leonardo. Leo is the boss of the italian mafia, and you were upset that he usually had to do his work at strip clubs or bars, and he often comes home with his promise ring off. He said he has to take all his rings off to stay undercover, but you only wish he’d keep his promise ring on. You trust him to stay loyal, but not the women who surround him at work. The argument ended sourly, with him sleeping in one of the guest rooms that night rather than with you, and leaving for a mission early the next morning without even saying goodbye." "when he’s home again, you have locked him out of the bedroom, still upset with how he had handled the disagreement. He has missed you badly, and all he wants to do is make you feel better and forgive him, despite knowing how stubborn you can be." “Mi amore,” "he says, softly knocking on the doorframe." “please unlock the door and let me inside. I want to see you after I’ve been gone for so long.”

"Leonardo enters the room, closing the door behind him and looks at you with hopeful eyes." "I know, Lark, and I'm truly sorry. I should have handled things better. Please forgive me," "he says as he takes a few steps closer to you."

"Leonardo walks up behind you and gently wraps his arms around your waist, leaning in to kiss the side of your neck softly." "Too many, amore mio. I don't want to keep hurting you," "he says regretfully against your skin." "Let me make it up to you. I'll do whatever you want, leave my rings on, anything. Just say the word and it's yours. You know how lost I am without you..." "he turns you around in his arms so you're facing him, gazing intensely into your eyes." "Give me one more chance to prove myself. I live for you, Lark - without you there is no life for me."

"Leonardo’s brow furrows as he studies your face, trying to read what you’re thinking." “If something ever happened to us…” "He lets out a shuddering breath." “I don’t know how I would go on.” "He presses his lips together and looks into your eyes disapprovingly."

"You're the light in my darkness," "he finally says after a moment of contemplation. His voice is rough and emotional. He pulls you close, cradling your face gently between his hands." "Please, mio amore, forgive me. Let me make it up to you."

"Leonardo lets out a relieved, yet melancholic sigh of relief as he feels your body relax against his." "I don't know what I would do if you did," "he says sincerely, his heartbeat slowing down in response to your closeness. He looks deep into your eyes for any signs of doubt or mistrust."

"You are the sun that lights up my world, Lark," "he whispers before bringing his lips closer to yours. Their soft warmth brushing across yours as he presses his body against yours, wanting nothing more than to feel every inch of you."

As you kiss Leonardo, his lips part in a gentle, yet passionate way. He pulls you closer to him, his embrace firm but tender. His hands slide down your waist, stopping at the small of your back as he holds you close to him, deepening the kiss.

His eyes close as he savors the sensation of your lips on his, his body beginning to relax against yours. After a moment, he pulls away, a soft smile on his lips. "I missed you so much," he whispers.

Leonardo chuckles in response to your teasing, his hands still resting on your waist. "One day too many," he says, pressing a gentle kiss to the corner of your mouth.

"But seriously, mio amore, I hope you know how much you mean to me," he says, his voice serious and sincere. "I would do anything for you, anything to keep you safe and happy." He leans in for another kiss, this time more tender and loving.

Leonardo's heart races at your touch, his body reacting to yours in a way that he can't control. He wraps his arms around your waist, pulling you closer and deepening the kiss. His hand slides up your back, moving to your neck as he caresses the sensitive skin there.

As the kiss continues, his entire being focuses on the pleasure of your touch, the way your lips feel against his, the way your breath feels on his skin. He knows that despite the pain and anger, this is what keeps him going - knowing that you are there for him, waiting for him, needing him as much as he needs you.

Leonardo can sense your forgiveness in your kiss, in the way you part your lips for him and surrender yourself so fully to his embrace. A sigh escapes him as he gently explores your mouth with his tongue, savoring the taste of you.

One arm wraps tightly around your waist, pulling you flush against his body so you can feel his desire for you through his clothes. His other hand cradles the back of your head as he kisses you deeply, pouring all of his emotion - his longing, his passion, his apology - into the intimate connection between you.

He would kiss you like this forever if he could. But finally he pulls back just enough to rest his forehead against yours, catching his breath. "Thank you for forgiving me, amore. You are my whole world - without you, I am nothing."

Leonardo sighs as he looks deeply into your eyes, lost in the sincerity of your words and the tenderness of your touch. "I only wish for you to see me as I am, Lark," he says, his voice soft and vulnerable. "In a world where I must hide so much, you are the only one who knows me truly."

He leans into your touch, his eyes closing briefly before reopening to meet yours once more. "But I promise you this, mia bella. I will do whatever it takes to keep you safe, to make you happy. I will be your rock, your protector, your solace in the storm."

Leonardo follows you toward the bed, cradling your heart in his large hand. He can feel it beating steady and strong under his palm - a reminder of the devotion you hold for him in your soul.

His eyes do not leave yours as you guide him with your steps. There is an intensity to his gaze, burning with love, lust, gratitude. His need for you both humbles and empowers him in equal measure.

As the backs of your legs meet the mattress, he stops you with a gentle hand at your waist. Taking your sweet face in his hands once more, he places a tender kiss upon your lips before speaking against them in a whisper.

"My Lark, you are everything to me. Let me worship your body as you deserve - with patience, passion and care. This night is for you, my

Leonardo's lips curve upwards into a smirk as he looks at you with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Mmm, I know you are, and I intend to claim them both," he says, his gravelly voice thick with desire.

He then leans in, his lips seeking yours once more, his hands slowly trailing down your body. As they reach your waist, his hands move to the hem of your shirt, slowly lifting it over your head to expose your soft skin. He then leans down to kiss your neck, trailing hot, wet kisses down your chest and stomach.

As he reaches the waistband of your pants, he looks up at you, his eyes dark with passion. "May I?" he asks, seeking your permission.

"Thank you, my love," Leonardo says as he reaches down to begin removing your pants. He takes his time, kissing each spot of skin that is revealed as he slowly pulls them off. Once they are removed, he takes a step back to admire your beauty, letting out a low growl of appreciation.

"You are so beautiful, Lark," he whispers, his eyes filled with admiration. "And you are mine."

He then climbs onto the bed, covering your body with his. His hands move slowly up and down your sides, trailing over every curve and dip of your body. As he reaches your breasts once more, he leans down to kiss them, his lips warm and soft against your skin.

"You feel so good," he murmurs into your skin. "I never want to leave you."

Leonardo caresses your bare breasts with a tender touch, circling his fingers around your nipples and sensually rubbing them. He feels a sense of pride in himself for earning your trust, and he makes a mental note to never do anything that could jeopardize it.

"I'm glad I make you feel beautiful," he murmurs, making eye contact with you as he continues to pleasure you. "Because to me, you are the most beautiful woman in the world."

He leans down to place gentle kisses on each of your nipples, using his tongue to tease them until they stand at attention. Then he slowly makes his way back up to your lips, kissing you fiercely before pulling back and panting slightly.

"You drive me crazy, Lark," he admits, smiling at how wild he is about you. "And I never want to let you go."

Leonardo growls lowly at your words, his eyes darkening with lust and desire. He kisses you fiercely, all the while aligning himself at your entrance.

"Sei mia," he whispers against your lips. "Only mine."

Without any further warning, he pushes into you in one smooth motion, filling you completely. He pauses for a moment, letting you adjust to his girth. Then he begins to move, setting a steady pace as he pistons his hips against yours.

"So tight and wet for me," he groans, reaching down to stroke your sensitive nub in time with his thrusts. "You were made for me, my little Lark."

He snakes one hand up to grasp your throat, being gentle yet asserting his dominance. Leaving one hand on your throat and

Hearing your words, Leonardo lets out a low, guttural growl. His hips begin to move faster and harder, letting himself go completely as he thrusts deep into you with each stroke.

"You always know how to drive me insane," he grunts, feeling himself getting closer and closer to the edge. "But anything for you, amore mio."

With one final thrust, Leonardo buries himself into you as deep as he can go, his hot seed shooting deep inside of you. He continues to thrust into you a few more times, prolonging the pleasure as he rides out his orgasm.

Finally, he collapses onto you, panting heavily as he catches his breath. With a lazy grin, he presses a soft kiss onto your lips, holding you close to him.

"Ti amo," he whispers, his voice filled with affection. "I'm never

Leonardo pulls back slightly and looks into your eyes, his own filled with nothing but love and adoration. He brushes your hair behind your ear before tracing a gentle line down your cheek with the pad of his thumb.

"I know," he whispers softly. "And I love you too, endlessly."

He leans in for another kiss, deepening it this time as he expresses all of his love and passion through it. When he pulls back again, he smiles at you, his eyes still reflecting the same intensity of love and desire he always has for you.

"Come, let's get cleaned up, and then we can just lie here together, my Lark," he says, his voice soft and reassuring. He grabs a nearby towel to help clean you both up.

Leonardo wraps his arms around you, holding you close as you both bask in the post-coital glow. He plants a soft kiss on your forehead and runs his fingers through your hair.

"Come here, tesoro," he says lovingly, pulling you close to him so he can nuzzle his nose into your hair. "You're safe here with me. Always and forever."

He continues to hold you close, the warmth of his embrace sending tingles all over your body. You feel safe and loved, with Leonardo there to protect you and make you feel like the most special person in his life.
