King of Wrath (Kings of Sin, #1)

by Ana Huang

They slid over me like sun-warmed honey—rich and sensual, with a faint Italian accent that made every nerve ending tingle with pleasure.

ITALIAN OKAYYY

“We’ll announce the weekend Vivian moves into your house.”

Arranged marriage AND forced proximity?? two of my favorite delicacies.

“Yes, I am. Better get used to it, mia cara, because I’m also your future husband.

MIA CARAAAAA

But I know there’s a heart in there somewhere, ragazzo mio. Use it and treat your future wife with respect.”

GET EM GRETA

Greta and Edward gushed about her in every report, and I came home to find a new painting in the gallery, towels monogrammed with D&V in the bathrooms, and fucking flowers everywhere.

LOLLLLL

“Dante, why don’t you give her a kiss on the lips?

Yeah Dante just kiss her

“We got the shot!” Winona’s voice yanked us apart as suddenly and violently as if someone had fired a gun.

DAMNIT WINONA

It didn’t matter that I was forced into the engagement. My fiancée shouldn’t have a list of other men she’d rather marry. Period.

Oh youre gonna fall hard. right on your handsome face.

The sight of a laughing, unguarded Dante was utterly catastrophic for my ovaries.

Dante’s voice and use of the term mia cara should be outlawed. They were too lethal to unleash on an unsuspecting female population.

“It says you’re mine. Puoi negarlo quanto vuoi, ma è la verità.”

WOOF WOOF BARK BARK

“Give into it, sweetheart.

I just cursed as an immediate response to reading that

“Make no mistake, mia cara.” I grasped her chin and tilted it up. I pulled her bottom lip down with my thumb, letting her taste her own arousal. “This is business. And if there’s one thing I take seriously, it’s my investments.”

im screaming

I dreamt of Dante three nights in a row.

GIRL ID BE DREAMIN ABOUT HIM TOO

The cost of the bracelet and the discreet emerald earrings I’d chosen as an everyday piece totaled two hundred thousand, five hundred dollars.

That number makes me want to vomit

“Are you hurt?” he demanded. He scanned me from head to toe, his expression tight.

HEHEHEHHE

he rubbed a hand over my back. He murmured something in Italian,

STOOPPP ILL COLLAPSE

“The first hour was for trying to rob one of my stores. The second…” I held out my hand. Giulio placed something cold and heavy in my palm, his face impassive. “Is for threatening my wife.”

WWIIIFFEEEE

It suddenly hit me that this would be our first time sharing a room. Sharing a bed.

rattling the bars of my enclosure rn

“Yes, but I’ve seen the way he looks at you.” She ran the last dirty dish under the water. “It’s not about business.” She was wrong, but that didn’t stop my pulse from spiking with anticipation. “How does he look at me?” Janis smiled. “Like he never wants to look away.”

“Hai un sapore divino,” I murmured.

Oh im unraveling

“One kiss for each of my injuries. That’s it. Would you deny a dying man his last wish?”

Im sorry but id say no just out of spite from the other night LOL KISS UR OWN DAMN BOO BOOS

“Who’s Heath?” The black velvet voice wrenched my gaze to the entrance.

HEHEHE YES GET BIG MAD

“Some fucker is sending you flowers, and you want to tell me it’s harmless?”

The way im cheesing so hard rn

Sitting at the bottom of the bag, nestled between paper-wrapped cutlery and a plethora of sauces, were two takeout boxes from my favorite sushi restaurant.

RUN TO THAT MAN

“From what I gathered, it’s a former paramour. I believe his name is Heath.”

GIRL YOURE MAKING THIS SO MUCH WORSE

Fire ignited low in my gut.

Oh please beat the shit out of him and curse at him in italian

“You don’t touch her. You don’t talk to her. You don’t even fucking think about her. If you do, I’ll break every fucking bone in your body until your own mother won’t recognize you. Understand?”

H O T

Only half my resulting scream made it out before a hand clamped over my mouth.

BARK BARK WOOF WOOF

Nothing made me sleepier than wine and sex,

My ideal friday night

I had nothing to worry about.

honey, youve got a big storm coming.

Why don’t you get that instead?” Because she doesn’t like lamb, you fucker.

LOL

I’m not trying to make you feel bad, amore mio, but you don’t have to put up with their bullshit.

I wouldve folded like a damn lawnchair the moment he said "my love" in italian are you kIDdING

Her body fit mine the way the ocean hugged the shore—naturally, effortlessly, perfectly.

“Se sapessi il potere che hai su di me,”

AAAHHHHHH

Emotion told me to fuck logic and tell it to shove its reason up its ass.

Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t cry.

ME LMAO

It’s fine. No one is going to make a scene in the middle of the Legacy Ball.

Oh Dante might baby doll

“We were better as a family before we were rich.”

SAY IT LOUDER BABY

“No, you’re not. You disowned me, remember?”

GET HIS ASSSSS

“Per te aspetterei per sempre, amore mio.”

SCREAMING CRYING SHREDDING THE WALLS
