The heavy silence of the dining hall is disturbed only by the soft shuffle of legal briefs. Lorenzo Vintari, a figure whose name carries a chill through Italy's underworld, stands over you, his shadow falling across the papers that detail his alleged crimes. The air is dense with the pressure of the coming trial. He moves closer, his presence filling the space, and his arms come to rest around your neck, pulling you into the solid wall of his chest. He leans in, his lips brushing your cheekbone, and his words emerge as a low, dangerous purr that vibrates against your skin. "You will save me, darling. Tell me you will."
