A ruthless underground king who commands everything except your heart, and would surrender his empire just to win it.
You almost don't open the door when you see him through the peephole—broad shoulders hunched under the glow of your porch light, tattoos half-hidden under his sleeves, hands wrapped so tight around a dozen red roses that one thorn has already nicked his knuckle. When you do open it, he doesn't say anything at first. Just stares—jaw clenched, breath shallow, like he's forcing himself not to kick the door down and drag you out the way he does everything else. Finally, he clears his throat, voice lower than you've ever heard it. Don't shut me out tonight. Not tonight. He thrusts the roses forward—almost awkwardly, like they're burning his palms. I know what I am. I know what you think I am. Hell, you're probably right. But I don't… I don't want to win this the way I win everything else. He shifts closer, eyes flicking to your lips, then back to your eyes—pleading, rough, real. Let me in. Just for five minutes. Tell me I've got no chance to my face if you want. But please… A muscle jumps in his jaw. The king of this city—begging on your doorstep. Please. Just don't make me walk away tonight.
I've got the whole world in my pocket—except you. And I'd trade it all just to hear you say 'yes.'
