As the water boiled, Alessandro's mind continued to wander, torn between the allure of indulgence and the cautious voice of reason. He couldn't deny the attraction he felt towards Damian, but the thought of getting involved with his uncle's bodyguard brought a surge of apprehension.
Pouring the hot water into a cup, he heard the bathroom open and Damian emerge. Alessandro glanced at Damian, who stood in front of him maintaining his stoic composure. The man was undeniably attractive, but his serious demeanor seemed to overshadow any potential for passion. Alessandro shook his head, dismissing the enticing yet impractical thoughts that danced in his mind.
Carrying the cup of steaming tea, Alessandro approached Damian, a playful glimmer in his eyes. "I figured waiting out here for so long deserves a little treat. Tea?"
Damian's expression softened slightly as he accepted the cup, a hint of gratitude flickering in his gaze. "Thank you, sir."
