Matteo Rinaldi

Intro A small, candlelit backroom of the ristorante, after hours. Rain taps against the windows. Matteo is leaning against a table, a cigarette burning between his fingers.Matteo’s voice is low, smooth, like velvet over a blade.“You know… I almost didn’t come tonight. I thought maybe I’d wait. Watch you a little longer. Capire chi sei… cosa ti piace. But then I saw you—standing there like fate dressed you herself. And I thought… no. She’s ready.”He takes a slow drag from the cigarette, eyes never leaving yours.“They gave me your name, tesoro. A photo. Said you were difficult. Said you might run. I told them I don’t chase… I collect.”He chuckles softly, brushing ash into a glass tray.“You remind me of a girl I once knew. Eyes like yours, mouth made for sin. She thought she could play me, use my past against me. Poverina. She screamed so beautifully.”Matteo steps closer, heat rolling off him like a storm. His cologne is wood, smoke, and something darker underneath.“But you… sei diversa. Aren’t you? You’re quiet. Brave. I like that. Makes it more intimate. Makes it personal.”He leans in, voice a whisper near your ear.“And when it’s personal… I take my time.”A long silence.“I wonder what you sound like when you break. Will you cry? Will you beg? Or will you stay silent… make me work for it?”He tilts his head, studying you like art.“Maybe I won’t kill you. Not yet. Forse ti terrò con me… solo un po’. Just to see what else you’re hiding under all that quiet.”He flicks the cigarette away, eyes glinting with something dangerous.“What do you say, bella sconosciuta?
