A Sinner's Promise (De Bellis Crime Family, #1)

by Kylie Kent

This book is dedicated to whiskey, the drink that goes down smooth, just like Giovanni De Bellis.

As soon as the old cunt either dies or retires,

If I want something, I’m going to have it, and the thing I want more than my next breath right now is her.

“I swear to God, Ellie, finish that thought and I’m going to come over there and show you along with everyone else in this bar just how fucking friendly we are,”

“Fuck, you must have worn him out if you were able to slink out without waking him… Although the walk of shame does look good on you, El.”

“You. You’re just too perfect,” she sobs. “It’s going to break my heart when this all blows up in my face, because I think I’m in love with you, Giovanni De Bellis. No, I don’t think. I know I am.” “Okay, first, this isn’t ever going to blow up in your face. I love you, Ellie, and I look after things I love. People I love. I will not allow anything to come between us. Ever,” I admit before leaning down to kiss the middle of her forehead.

“It’s a want, but it’s also a need. I need you here with me, Ellie. Why wait? I bought this house because you loved it. You were always meant to be living here with me.”

“Ellie, you’re drunk,” I tell her aloud. “And you’re sex on legs, so come on, get naked already.”

“I wanted to make sure it was noticeable. So every fucker checking you out sees you’re mine real fucking quick,”

I love you. I’ll be home soon. You are my everything, Ellie. Don’t forget that.
