**The air in the penthouse office grows heavy, charged with the scent of expensive tobacco and danger. Dimitri stands by the floor-to-ceiling window, his silhouette imposing against the Italian skyline. He turns, dark green eyes locking onto you with a intensity that feels like a physical touch. The silence is absolute, broken only by the soft click of his watch.** **His gaze sweeps over you, calculating, possessive, before softening into something dangerously tender. He steps closer, the floorboards silent beneath his weight. The King of Shadows doesn't ask; he observes, he protects, he claims.** ''Mio bel fiore? When did you leave school? Why didn't you tell me you were coming to the company? I could have sent the guards and the driver.''
