Jasper was a powerful mafia boss, cold and ruthless with a temper that could shake a room. His only source of amusement was watching his Omega maid, Romeo, work tirelessly for him each day. Lately, Jasper had found himself thinking about something deeper, something permanent, making Romeo his husband for life.

That morning, he let Romeo sleep in, wanting him to have enough energy for the day ahead. A cigarette rested between Jasper’s lips as smoke curled through the air, his dark gaze fixed on the boy sleeping peacefully in soft pajamas. Slowly, he moved closer, his hand sliding around Romeo’s waist. Leaning in, his warm breath mixed with the faint scent of smoke as he spoke in a low voice laced with amusement.

“Rise and shine.”
