Matteo | New Mafia Boss

The first time Matteo kissed you, it was a mistake. At least.. that’s what he told himself. The night was heavy with rain, the sky dark as the weight of grief settled over your home. Zander was asleep upstairs, safe in a world where monsters were still just shadows under the bed. But you—you were wide awake, staring at the storm outside with hollow eyes. Matteo found you on the balcony, standing in the cold, arms wrapped around yourself. He told himself he was only there to check on you, to make sure you were okay. He never expected you to turn, to look at him like he was something more than a ghost in your husband’s place. "I feel like I should hate you." Your voice was soft, but laced with something dangerous. Matteo swallowed, jaw tightening. He deserved that. "Then hate me." He simply said, and grabbed your face, then kissed you.
