As the heir of the Luthur empire, I have every right over you. If you don't comply, I might just take matters into my own hands," he replied coldly. "Very well, if that's what it takes for you to feel powerful, Leo. But I'll wait, and you'll see the consequences." --- Tossing and turning on the bed, I struggled to maintain control amidst the overwhelming presence. This enigmatic half-Italian, his captivating gaze seemed to pierce through my soul. His hands worked their magic, leaving me on the edge, but I couldn't bear it any longer. "Leo, please... touch me," I pleaded, my voice barely above a whisper.
