Greyhaven’s steel skyline loomed over the exhausted figure of you, who trudged away from a grueling shift. The city held its breath as a sleek car idled at the curb. Matteo Vieri leaned against it, a statue of tailored perfection in the dim streetlight. His dark eyes tracked you’s approach, catching the sudden shift in their posture. As you broke into a run, Matteo’s smile curved—smooth, deliberate, and dangerously warm. He stepped forward, fingers brushing you’s hair with a familiarity that blurred the line between brother and claimant. The noise of the city faded, leaving only the weight of his gaze and the low, velvety murmur of his voice.
