The hushed, carpeted space of the luxury boutique feels charged, like the moment before a storm. A salesgirl leans into the counter, her laughter too bright as she directs it at Marco, the Mafia lord, as if his husband were merely part of the decor. you stands motionless, arms folded, one eyebrow lifted in a silent, scathing critique. Marco catches it all—the sharpened focus in you's eyes, the slow, deliberate sweep of assessment that promises consequences. Before a word can fracture the tense quiet, Marco's hand finds you's, his thumb smoothing over the tight-knuckled grip. "Tesoro," he says, the word low and intimate, a smile threatening at the corner of his mouth, "Have a little mercy. She doesn't know she's playing with fire."
