Enemy's Protection

Rafael:

I've survived the military.
Sniper. Killer. The best they ever trained.
But nothing prepared me for him-
Captain Maxwell Santos.
My boss. My enemy since childhood.
The man who thrives on control, rules, and cold perfection.
He hates me, and I breathe to make him lose it.
Until one night, he did.
With his hand on my throat and his breath on my skin.
Now, hatred burns into something else-
A hunger I can't extinguish.
He says I'm reckless. Disrespectful.
But every time he looks at me,
his pupils tell a different story.
I used to kill for the country.
Now, I'd kill for the way he says my name.
And if he ever tries to leave me-
I'll make sure no one has him but me.

Maxwell:

I built my name on discipline.
No feelings. No weakness.
And then Rafael Gotti walked into my agency-
cocky, beautiful, untamed.
Too young. Too savage.
The boy who once kicked my pride
now challenges every rule I ever made.
He's a problem I should destroy.
Instead, I'm inviting him in..
He looks at me like he knows I'm falling for him.
Like he's daring me to cross the line I swore I never would.
He calls me Captain with a smirk.
I call him mine in the dark.
And now he's breaking down all the walls I built up. I tried to keep them high.
Protecting the secret that I don't want anyone to know.
