Brutal Legacy (Original Sin, #2)

by Mila Kane

“Sage green. One day, I want to paint our bedroom sage green,” I murmured. “Just like your eyes.” “Why?” Elio murmured. “It makes me feel safe. It makes me feel… everything,”

“And I was hers, and she was mine… and no one could take her from me… and no one ever would.”

Elio Santori had been my safe harbor. The boy who’d blazed into my life and changed it forever. I’d never felt safer than I had around him, and when he’d left, he’d taken that feeling of safety and never given it back.

“Look, as nice as this show of female camaraderie is, I had time penciled in to stare at the wall and cry, followed by screaming into the pillow. I really need to get on with it.”

“I’ve never kissed anyone but you.”

“No. My honor and privilege... my birthright. Protecting you… loving you, is my legacy, topolina, and I’m the luckiest bastard in the world.”
