Resisting the Mafia Boss (MxM)

"I asked you to pretend to be my boyfriend for just five minutes, not marry me permanently!" Adrian Price exclaimed, his voice laced with frustration, as he clenched his fists, staring intensely at the intimidating yet stunning man before him. Giovanni Marino gazed at Adrian, taking his time to absorb every aspect of the other man's appearance without any regard for the disruption to his work. "To me, they seem like the same thing," he replied thoughtfully. "Come on, you're a tough guy, not an idiot. Don't you know when to draw the line?" Adrian scoffed, his anger escalating. "You've got me hooked on this role now, and I don't think I want to stop." Adrian had anticipated some unwanted attention from admirers, but he hadn't expected the mobster he'd chosen to be just as persistent and intrigued as those who pursued him. In his pursuit of privacy, he hadn't foreseen the complications that would arise when he involved Giovanni Marino. Giovanni, known for both his love of clubs and his violent tendencies, found solace in the thrill of their arrangement. He reveled in the temporary connection he had with Adrian, unsure if he could ever return to his solitary existence. And then there was the added complication – discovering Adrian's identity as his rival's son. With this revelation, he realized he needed Adrian for more than just breaking or bending to his will.
