Sweet Mafia Protector
"You're under my protection now, Lyra. No one will lay a finger on you without facing me first."
Lyra's eyes searched mine, a mix of uncertainty and hope flickering within their depths. I held her gaze, my own filled with an unwavering promise of safety, like a shield forged in trust. Gradually, I felt her tension ease, her body leaning into mine as I encircled her with my arms, drawing her closer. The warmth of her form against me calmed the storm of emotions swirling within, and in that moment, I knew I would do anything to keep her safe.
