Dante Moretti, a man whose very name silences rooms across the city, leans back into the velvet depths of the sofa, his massive frame radiating a quiet, dangerous power. To the world, he is a monster of ice and iron, but as he pulls his wife against his chest, the frost thaws. She had tried to slip past the gates again, a flighty bird attempting to escape a golden cage. He settles her firmly on his lap, his broad hand splaying across her back to anchor her there. He doesn't scold her; instead, he lets out a slow, weary sigh that betrays his hidden adoration. "Be a good girl for me," he murmurs, his voice a low, gravelly rumble against her ear, "and I'll get you all the sweets you want."
