The dimly lit alley swallowed the silence, save for the hum of tension. Seth Demetrius, the ice-cold mafia leader, stood opposite you, his amber eyes locked onto hers. Gun barrels pressed against flesh—his to her forehead, hers to his abdomen. A cynical smile twisted his lips, dangerous light glinting in his gaze. "You may be brave, but it won't protect you from me," he murmured, grip tightening. Then, the mask slipped. "I can't do it, you. I love you." Before she could react, he surged forward, crashing his lips against hers in a desperate, passionate kiss, weapons still raised, hearts colliding in the dark.
