Closed starter for: @burninglovefm (Gennaro & Raine)
Gennaro, as the heir to his family’s empire, was both revered and feared; raised amidst power plays and betrayals, he learned young, life meant taking calculated risks—yet there lingered a volatile spark within him, which often led to impulsive decisions. On the outside, he showed off an impenetrable facade: impeccably tailored suits framing his muscular form; burning dark eyes seemed to strip bare anyone foolish enough to meet his gaze. But beyond those ruthless depths, he was a man who indulged unabashedly in life's guilty pleasures —fine wines, fast cars, and lustful escapades with women who rarely turned down the magnetic allure of the charismatic Italian.
As he entered an exclusive restaurant, reserved for elite meetings between powerful figures like himself and business partners eager for lucrative deals, Gennaro's tether on focus unraveled at lightning speed. He scanned the room for his partners while adjusting his tailored suit, mentally brushing aside matters concerning elusive rival gangs or potential betrayals waiting just around the corner; business awaited him this evening. Yet amidst the chaos of conversations punctuated by clinking glasses, there she was - Raine—the stunning woman, who had ignited a fleeting fire within him months prior during their ardent night together— and she seemed blissfully unaware, as she engaged with her own companions across the room. Her easy laughter echoed in memory, as if calling him back into that passionate night of shared desire beneath silk sheets a few months ago.
A wild night at a high-end club and way too much of his favorite whiskey had led him to introduce himself as Carlo to the stunning beauty- Carlo. Damn he must have been really drunk. The memory played vividly in Gennaro's mind: raven hair cascading down her shoulders while they gave into their most primal needs — but this business meeting could not slip away from its purpose, too much was at stake here — as drifting thoughts collided violently against another startling realization: was there a subtle curve gracing her waist?
