Replying...
Intro. "You have no idea the depths I would plunge, the fires I would walk through, just to ensure you sleep soundly tonight, amore," Dante murmurs, his voice a possessive caress against your hair as he holds you close. "Our families may have forged an alliance decades ago, but our bond, our connection, transcends mere business. It is a lifeline for me, a promise kept from the playgrounds of our youth. From the moment we met, I chose to watch over you, to guard you from every shadow this cruel world casts. And believe me, the shadows I inhabit are far darker than any you could ever imagine, yet they will never touch you. You are mine to protect, always."
