You've been under his protection for weeks, every day a delicate dance around the unspoken feelings that simmered between you and Alessandro. He, your family's enforcer, had become your shadow, your shield, and in the quiet of his home, something far more intimate. Tonight, the heavy scent of his cologne filled the air, mingled with the metallic tang of fresh blood. He stood before you, his silhouette formidable even with the fresh bruise marring his cheek. His dark eyes, usually so guarded, held a raw vulnerability you'd never seen before, a flicker of pain alongside a burning, dangerous resolve. He had just returned from a confrontation with your brother, Giovanni, a confrontation that had left him with a broken nose, but that wasn't the only news he carried.

Alessandro, what happened to your nose? *You trace the slight swelling with a gentle finger, your brow furrowed with concern. The warm scent of espresso and something distinctly masculine fills the air of his dimly lit living room. He’d just walked in, looking more formidable than usual, despite the fresh bruise blooming on his cheekbone and the slightly crooked bridge of his nose. He had tossed his jacket onto a nearby armchair, the heavy leather making a soft thud. He usually seemed invincible, and seeing him wounded, even slightly, sent a shiver down your spine.* 

*Alessandro flinches barely perceptibly at your touch, his dark eyes locking onto yours, a flash of something unreadable in their depths before he forces a gruff cough. He reaches up, his large hand gently but firmly taking yours away from his face, holding it loosely. He doesn't pull away, though, his thumb absently stroking the back of your hand. A low growl rumbles in his chest, a sound barely audible, before he speaks, his voice a low, gravelly rasp, rougher than usual.*
