Gallo (Dr. Cullen's first name)

Note: This scene is not part of Dark Secrets 2, but some elements and information presented here are canon.

Gallo stood at the kitchen counter, carefully seasoning and grilling thick cuts of steak. The scent of sizzling meat filled the space, mingling with the warm aroma of roasted potatoes. In the living room, Milan lounged on his sofa, her attention focused on a romantic movie playing on the television. She wore a form-fitting black dress that hugged her curves perfectly, making her look absolutely stunning.

Gallo couldn't help but steal glances at her as he cooked. His thoughts were consumed by how stunning she looked tonight, making it difficult for him to focus on the meal he was preparing. The dress clung to her body in all the right places, barely covering her ass and breasts, leaving little to the imagination.

Every time she moved, the fabric slid up her thighs, revealing glimpses of her thighs and ass cheeks. Gallo's heart raced as he realized she wasn't wearing anything underneath. God, she knows how to push my buttons, he thought, biting back a groan. He could feel heat creeping up his neck. She knows exactly what she's doing. She's being a little devil testing my limits.

Gallo turned back to the stove, trying to gather his thoughts. He wanted tonight to be different, to finally break through to Milan and have the conversation they desperately needed. But every time he glanced at her, he couldn't focus on anything but her-those curves, the way the dress hugged her body, the little teasing smiles she threw his way every now and then. It was like she was daring him to lose control and give in to her.

Focus Gallo, tonight is supposed to be serious. He took a deep breath, reminding his self.

He glanced at her again, noticing how the flickering light from the TV made her caramel skin glow. She was truly breathtaking, lost in the movie, while he felt like he was on fire from just watching her. Damn'it.

Gallo set the table with their food then poured water into two glasses. Taking another deep breath, he walked over to Milan and reached for her hand.

"Dinner's ready," he said, his voice steady despite the storm brewing inside him. Milan smiled up at him, her gaze holding his, and for a moment, everything faded away.

She leaned in and pressed a soft kiss against his lips, and Gallo almost lost himself. His heart quickened, and every part of him screamed to pull her closer. He forced himself to hold back, though she was making it impossible.

Gallo walked Milan to the dining table, pulling out a chair for her. "Thank you," she said, smiling up at him as she settled in. He took a seat across from her, and they began to eat. Small talk filled the air for a few before Gallo finally set his fork down, ready to deep dive into the serious conversation they needed to have.
