Josephine has been on Donatello's mind since the moment that he met her. She is the most amazing person he has ever met and he can't wait to get to know her more.

He does not like the fact that he's not picking her up from her house, but she insisted that it is safe.

He tried to convince her to let him pick her up, but all she had to do was pout her lips and he did whatever she asked.

He wanted to do something unique and special for their first date. He just doesn't know what, so he asked Solero, which was probably a mistake. However, Solero gave him a brilliant idea.

He can't wait to see her. He thought that it was almost painful being away from her for those few days since they met.

He loves that she doesn't fear him, even though she knows what he does. Though, he is curious about her. Josephine seems to have a lot on her shoulders, even if she tries to hide it.

He vows to himself that he would do whatever it takes to take care of her.

It was four o'clock and Fin is currently in an apartment building she owns. She already told her brothers that she was staying with a friend for the night and surprisingly they did not question her.

She started to get ready for her date. She spent an hour bathing, straightening her hair, putting on the minimum amount of makeup which is just lip gloss and eyeliner and then got dressed. She wore the dress Mariam chose.

After she was finished, she got in the car she borrowed from one of her brothers and drove to the location Donatello sent her. It took her nearly an hour to get there because the place is very secluded.

She stopped when she was in front of massive gates. There were men with guns standing guard at the gate. One of them walked up to her side and knocked on the glass. She rolled down her window and saw the guard's eyes widened slightly.

He gave her a nod and then nodded to a camera that was perched near the gate. He then took out his walkie talkie and spoke Italian into it. Josephine understood what he said.

"La Regina è arrivata, signore," he said in Italian.

The Queen has arrived, sir.

Then the gates opened automatically for her and she continued to drive. She pulled up in front of a beautiful mansion.

A man walked up to her car and she put down her glass.

"Good afternoon, ma'am. My name is Sven and I was told to escort you to Mr. Da' Vino. Kent will park your car in the garage if that is alright," He said pleasantly and pointed to the lanky boy standing behind him.

Fin smiled and got out of her car. "Thank you," she said to Kent and Sven.

Kent entered the car and drove away from them. Sven gestured for her to follow him into the mansion.

Fin was in awe of the place as she entered. It was beyond gorgeous. Sven saw her look at the interior and said, "Everything was designed by Mrs. Da' Vino, Sir's mother."

She smiled and they continued to walk.

She gasped as she saw Donatello standing next to a table.

He looked devilishly handsome. He wore a dark green suit which complimented her dress beautifully.

He walked up to her and tugged her to his chest. He hugged her tightly and kissed her cheek.

"He smells so good," Fin thought as she sniffed him. He chuckled.

He pulled away slightly with his arms still around her waist. Donatello led her to her chair and pulled it out for her.

She thanked him and sat down.

Just as he was about to sit down, he paused and then smirked. He picked up his chair and put it next to Josephine. He sat down next to her and smiled.

She returned it and he grabbed her hand.

She raised her eyebrow. "I wanted to be close to you and touch you," He said as he caressed her knuckles.

There were small scars littered over them, just like Donatello's. Hers was from when she was being careless and didn't wrap her hands when she was training and when she was fighting.

Donatello kissed her knuckles softly and she giggled.

"Are you ready to eat, la mia vita?" He murmured into her ear.

My life

She shivered in delight as she felt his breath on her face. She nodded.

He pulled out a remote and pressed a button. Almost immediately, two waiters entered with two plates of food filled with Creamy Alfredo Pasta. It looked amazing.

"Let's eat," Donatello said.

Before Josephine can pick up her fork, Donatello grabbed it. He twirled the pasta around the fork and then put it up to her lips.

She looked at him in confusion. "I want to feed you the first bite," he explained, "It is a tradition in the Da' Vino family that the man feeds his woman the first bite. So open up, love."

Fin opened her mouth and let him feed her. She moaned in delight. It was delicious.

"Whoever made this is now one of my favourite persons," She said, smiling.

He smirked and said, "Why thank you, la mia vita. However, I thought I was always your favourite person?"

She gaped at him. "You made this?" She asked in disbelief.

"Yes, my mother wanted me to be able to cook for my future woman."

"Why are you in the Mafia? You should be a chef instead. You put my cooking to shame," He chuckled.

They began to eat and soon enough they were finished.

During dinner, they talked about a lot of things. What happened in the few days they didn't see each other and about what they liked to do.

They sat on the couch and cuddled up. Donatello's chin on her head and he hugged her to his chest. He occasionally kissed her on her forehead as they talked. The more time they spent together, the more they fell in love with each other.

When the clock reached ten, Fin slightly pulled away from him and sat up. "I think it's time for me to leave," She frowned.

"Stay the night," Donatello blurted, "Please."

She thought about it for a minute. She looked at him and saw the adorable look on his face and instantly said yes.

He smiled and hugged her. They looked at each other in the eyes and Donatello began to lean in. Josephine closed her eyes as their lips met. He placed his hand on her face and the other on her waist.

Their lips moved in sync and soon they pulled away for air. Their heads touched as they tried to catch their breath.

This time Josephine kissed him. Donatello licked her bottom lip for entrance. She teased him a little.

He squeezed her hip and she opened her lips, letting him explore her mouth.

His hands went under her knees as he lifted her in his arms. Fin didn't pay attention to where he was taking her, she was too focused on his sweet lips.

She felt herself being placed on a soft bed. Donatello hovered above her as she laid down.

He gripped the back of her neck and brought her face down to his. He kissed her passionately and deeply.

"Are you okay, la mia vita?" He asked as he caressed her face. "Tired?"

Fin nodded as she snuggled into his chest.

"Okay, amore. Let me get something for you to sleep in," He said as he got up from the bed.

He took one of his shirts and a boxer from his drawer and handed them to Fin. She quickly changed and then jumped back onto the bed.

He wore one of his boxers and went to bed, cuddling with Josephine.

She placed her head on his chest and threw a leg over his. He wrapped his arm around her and kissed her head.

"Sei mio," Donatello whispered in her ear.

You are mine

He stroked her hair and closed his eyes, breathing in the scent of his beloved.

He smiled as he heard a little snore from Josephine and fell asleep, content and without any worries for the first time in years.

All because of his amore, Josephine.

Love
