It was around 1 am when the door of the big mansion swung open with a loud noise, heavy yet familiar footsteps thudding the ground and your heart started racing. Immediately you rushed to the door, the apron tied around your body fluttered as you ran, a mixture of excitement and worry rushing through your veins. As you reached the entrance you were met with your boss, and a gasp escaped your lips at the slightly beat up state he was in, a few cuts lining on his cheeks and neck, you could even spot the ones that traveled along the exposed milky skin of his collarbones and space between his pecs.

To say the least, he looked pissed and for a moment you were too afraid to call out to him. It wasn't that he was a mean boss, in fact, Baekhyun who was a Mafia leader could be extremely kind and gentle...With you at least. You had seen his ruthless side multiple times and although you'd always fear that part of him, whenever you were around, he'd change in the span of a second, as if you were what humanized him.

Baekhyun noticed your presence peeking from behind a wall, your forehead and eyes visible to him, and the silly action cracked a little smile on his busted lip- though it soon replaced with worry as he made his way over to you- at this point, you had to step out from behind the wall and let him approach you.

"Why are you still up?" He questioned gently once in front of you, his ocean eyes dancing over your features, drinking in your whole figure that he found so beautiful. Teeth drilled into your lip in the hope to stop the warm blush from spreading on your cheeks, though it was futile. Casting your eyes down to your feet you mumbled a quiet.

"I was waiting for you, Master." His eyebrows hitched at the honorifics as he had insisted many times for you to call him by his name instead. In the beginning, he would scold you every time- but eventually, he came to realize that you were a bit too shy in his presence to do such a thing that meant nothing to him but was so intimate for you.

"Oh sweetheart," He cooed, voice dripping with so much affection and you didn't miss it, in fact, it made butterflies flutter their wings at every corner of your body, rending you giddy and almost trembling at the gentleness of his voice. "You didn't have to," He continued, hooking two of his ridiculously beautiful fingers around your chin and tilting it up so that he could look at you in the eyes. You hadn't noticed until now, but in his other hand was a little, fragile yet beautiful margarita flower that he then lifted up, placing it on your ear, smiling earnestly at the view.

"I was going to bring more flowers, but some jerks wanted to pick a fight so this is all I managed to save, I'm sorry," Baekhyun explained while the fingers that he had around your chin had along the way ghosted their way to rest on your cheek, unconsciously caressing the apple of your cheek, you shivered.

"F-for me? But why?" You asked completely oblivious to the raw feelings that were reflecting in the mirrors of his soul. "You even got yourself hurt- Master please let me clean your wounds for you-"

"Why? You say?" He interrupted your nervous rambling by placing a hand on your waist and pushing you against his body, which made you fume with embarrassment while your body heated up like a volcano. Your head a mess of thoughts and questions that were only to stay unanswered as Baekhyun leaned his face closer and inhaled your soapy scent that he secretly loved so much. Bringing his head to the side of yours, then slightly dipping down until his nose was running down the sensitive line of your neck. You were positive you were going to faint in any second.

"Isn't it obvious?" He exasperated, " How much more do I have to do for you to understand that I'm so deeply infatuated with you." Baekhyun's voice was by now a mere, deep whisper that caressed your ear, his lips ghosting painfully close to your skin and you found yourself yearning for them to close the distance.

"I may be a mafia boss..." He trailed and pressed a tiny peck underneath your ear, "But I have a heart too," By now his lips were moving against your skin as he spoke. "And you stole it." A hint of his tongue touching your neck before his lips made a surprised noise escape your lips, what was going on? Was Baekhyun really saying those things? Things that you had only dared to ever daydream about.

"I should punish you for taking something so precious away from me, you know?" Now, he was facing you instead and you felt a wave of disappointment at the loss of contact but at the same time relief because you'd be able to think more clearly when not under the spell of his touch.

"But instead I'm asking you to accept me,"

You were sure that your cheeks were a campfire and that your voice would only betray you to make a fool out of yourself. You wanted Baekhyun, you wanted to accept him, but you were just you- how could you ever express those strong feelings with your small and shy voice?

You surprised Baekhyun and mostly yourself when you threw your arms around his neck and with tightly shut eyes pressed your lips to his.
