Kindle Notes & Highlights
It’s not the first time I’ve come over after my father hit me. The Messina house is my safe haven when things get too rough at home.
“You can live here with us because I love you and I’ll never hurt you.”
I lost my best friend and his parents during the attack, and Carina vanished without a trace. Carina. Stellina mia. Even after seventeen years, my heart still squeezes painfully in my chest. Not knowing what happened to the precious little girl, who held my heart in her tiny palm, will haunt me until the day I die.
I couldn’t explain why I took such an interest in Haven, but as I stare at her, I realize the answer is simple. I want to own her. I’ve never seen anything more beautiful than her. She’s a fucking work of art.
“Cocoa, sugar, creamy mascarpone, vanilla, and coffee,” I murmur, desire deepening my voice. “You smell like my favorite dessert. Tiramisu.”
As I drive to the Romano mansion, I have no choice but to acknowledge I fell head over fucking heels for Haven the second I laid eyes on her.
It has just become my life’s mission to break down every single wall she has up. I don’t care what it takes. I will become the most important person in her life. I will claim every inch of her sexy body. I will own her fucking heart and soul. If it’s the last thing I do.
“What makes you angry?” “If someone interrupts me while I’m reading.” His chest shakes as he laughs silently. “Only that?” “Being kidnapped and force to marry a mafia boss,” I add, and I’m surprised when there’s no bite to my words. “That’s a given.” I listen as he takes a deep breath, then he says, “I’m sorry, Haven. I could’ve handled things better.”
“Per favore. Tell me I can bury my face between your legs. I’m fucking starving and need to taste your pussy more than I need my next breath.” My big, bad mafia boss is begging.
“You’re the sweetest torture I’ve ever had to endure.” I lift my head and press a soft kiss to his mouth. “You’re the hottest temptation I’ve ever encountered.”
“Your absence killed me, and your presence gives me life. You’re my beginning and end, stellina mia. Now that I have you back, I won’t let anything or anyone take you away from me again.” I brush my palm over the side of her head, my eyes drinking in every breathtaking inch of her. “My heart belongs to you. It always has and always will.”
