Matteo stepped closer, his dark gaze peering deep into Emily's eager eyes as he rasped in his deep voice. "Do you want me to come home with you, douce?"

The question was simple, yet so intimate that Emily fell herself lost in the moment.

"I... L.." she began, her voice faltering, caught between her thoughts and the spellbinding presence of the charming attorney.

"You what, bébe?" Matteo whispered, gently tucking a stray strand of her silky caramel hair behind her car. his gaze never leaving her.

Her pulse quickened, and she bit her lower lip shyly, dropping her gaze to avoid the intensity of his stare. "I thought... I thought it was late, and maybe you'd prefer to go home too," she murmured softly, her voice barely above a whisper. "No, douce, I have some urgent work I need to finish tonight," Matteo said briefly, but his focused gaze softened slightly when he saw Emily's face fall. He quickly added, "But if you want, I can drop you off at my place first and then head to the office." Emily shook her head. "No, it's fine."

"Don't worry, chérie," he husked with a teasing smirk. "If you miss me too much, just call, and I'll come right back."

Emily's eyes widened, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment.

"In your dreams, Mr. Vinci," she snapped, rolling her eyes dramatically, which made Matteo chuckle softly. He marveled at how easily she could lift his mood, even in stressful moments, with just a few words or beautiful expressions. "All right, enough joking." His tone shifted, becoming more serious. "Go home and stay safe. Don't hesitate to call me if anything feels off. The bodyguards will be there for your safety."

Emily nodded as his demeanor turned protective. Matteo gently took her hand, guiding her to the car waiting to escort her to his apartment. He opened the back door for her, waiting until she was seated comfortably before closing it with care. He then stepped aside, giving his bodyguard a quick rundown of the security protocols. Only after ensuring everything was in order, Matteo stepped back watching as the driver and guards took their positions in the front. As the engine roared to life and the car began its journey, Matteo lingered for a moment, his gaze following it down the street.
