Venom's Kiss: A Mafia Love Triangle Romance

77

The weight of my words hung in the air, and for a moment, we were both suspended in that moment of honesty.

She searched my eyes, looking for the truth behind my words, and I hoped she saw the sincerity reflected back at her.

"What if I choose you?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper, her vulnerability hitting me like a ton of bricks.

"Then I'll do everything in my power to protect you," I promised, the urgency in my voice unwavering. "I'll fight for you, for us, no matter the cost."

She closed her eyes, contemplating, and I held my breath, praying she'd take the leap into the unknown with me.

I had never felt so certain about anything in my life as I did in that moment.

But as I looked at her, I knew that stepping into my world meant facing the danger that lurked at every corner.

The mafia wasn't just a backdrop—it was a monster that could devour everything in its path, including us.

"Let's take it one step at a time," she finally said, opening her eyes, and I saw a spark of resolve flicker within her.

I nodded, a smile creeping onto my face despite the looming storm of chaos surrounding us.

"One step at a time," I echoed, knowing that this was just the beginning of our dangerous obsession.

With that, I leaned in again, kissing her softly, a promise of what was to come.

The world outside may have been filled with shadows, but in that moment, under the dim light of her apartment, we were wrapped in our own bubble of possibility and desire, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead together.
