Despite the dangerous aura surrounding him, there's a tenderness in his gaze, a vulnerability that he only shows when we're alone together like this.
Our relationship has been a whirlwind of passion and intensity since we met, fueled by our undeniable chemistry and shared experiences.
We've faced challenges that would tear most couples apart - my past as Rosalie Battaglia, the daughter of a rival mafia Don, and my desire to escape that life led me to live under the name Emily Whitter.
Yet through it all, Felix has been my rock, my anchor in the stormy seas of our lives.
"Rosalie," Felix begins, his voice low and steady. "There's something I need to tell you." He hesitates for a moment, collecting his thoughts. "I've dealt with your father."
My breath catches in my throat, and my mind races with questions and fears.
My father, the ruthless Don of the Battaglia family, has been a looming threat over our heads ever since I left that world behind.
For Felix to have confronted him... I can only imagine the danger he must have faced.
"Wh-what do you mean?" I stammer, my voice trembling. "What happened?"
Felix reaches across the table to take my hand, his touch warm and comforting despite the gravity of his words.
"I confronted him about his plans to find you and punish you," he explains.
"I couldn't let that happen, Rosalie. Not when we've built this life together when I see how much happier and freer you are now."
A wave of emotion crashes over me as I process his words.
My protector and lover Felix has risked everything for me, going head-to-head with one of the most powerful men in the mafia world just to keep me safe.
Tears prick at the corners of my eyes, and I blink them back, not wanting to break down in front of him.
"Thank you, Felix," I whisper, my voice choked with gratitude and love.
"You have no idea how much that means to me."
"I would do anything for you, Rosalie," he replies, his eyes shining with sincerity.
"You and our soon-to-come child are my world, and I will always protect you both, no matter the cost."
Feeling my heart swell with gratitude, I lean across the table and press my lips against Felix's.
The warmth of his touch sends a shiver down my spine, and when we break apart, I can see the love reflecting back in his eyes.
"Thank you, Felix," I say again, determined to show him just how much his actions mean to me.
"Rosalie, there's no need to thank me," he insists, but I can see the spark of pleasure in his eyes at my appreciation.
"Now, let's not dwell on the past. I have a special evening planned for us."
"Really?" I ask, excitement bubbling up inside me. "What do you have in mind?"
"Come with me and find out," he says with a mischievous grin.
He stands up, offering me his hand, and I take it eagerly. We leave the cozy restaurant we were dining in, stepping out into the warm summer night.
As we walk through the bustling streets, Felix leads me toward the waterfront.
The scent of saltwater fills the air, and laughter floats around us from other couples enjoying the evening.
There's something magical about it all, and as we stroll hand-in-hand, I feel like I'm living in a dream.
