“I slit a bastard’s throat last week. He made the exact same noise.”
Life is all about balance, Angelo. The good always cancels out the bad.
Seek hope where the air is salty and the cliffs are steep.
Vicious.
“Big shoes to fill, my brother. But if anyone is up for the job, it’s Vicious Visconti.”
“Suicide is a sin,” he rasps, his stubble grazing my cheek. “But Devil’s Dip has a way of making you want to throw yourself over the edge, doesn’t it?”
Oh, holy crow, he’s handsome.
“If you looked more enthusiastic when sitting on your fiance’s lap, then perhaps he’d buy you a pearl necklace of your own.”
“Stealing is a sin, Aurora.”
And for the first time since we met, I see her smile. I think I like it when she smiles.
“If you belonged to me and dressed like that around other men, I’d pull down those skimpy bottoms and spank your ass until it was raw.”
“At first, I used just one finger, but then…” I trail off, flustering. His shoulders hitch. “But then?” “I realized one of your fingers is equal to two of mine.”
“Fuck, Aurora.” When he turns around, his eyes are as wild. Hungry. “You’re my uncle’s fiancee. I can’t touch you.”
“Who are you trying to convince—me or yourself?” The vein in his temple ticks. His gaze mists over. In one, large step, he closes the...

“Fucking hell, Aurora. You’re perfect. Of course you’d be perfect.”
“Does it feel good, baby?”
“You like it rough, baby?”
“Don’t you dare look away from me, Aurora. I want to see the look on your face when you come.”
“Good girl. Now, rub your clit as hard as you can.”
“Don’t you dare fucking stop,” he snarls, leaning over my knee and not taking his eyes off my pussy. “I want to see your cum trickle out of that cunt and down your thigh.” My clit
“Fuck,” he breathes, gripping the back of my hoodie. “Your pussy is the most perfect thing I’ve ever seen.”
“You like atoning for your sins, don’t you, baby?”
“Because seeing you in your engagement dress is hard enough. But seeing you in your wedding dress?” A growl vibrates deep within me. I tighten my grip. “That’ll be fucking torture.”
But that’s the thing about lines in the sand. Eventually, they wash away, and you can’t remember where you drew them.
“How else am I meant to check out your ass without getting caught?”
thought he died from a bleed on the brain?” “He did. I shot him in the head and then his brain bled.”
“You’re a silly little girl, Aurora. And now, you’ll learn that you’re not ready to play with a real man.”
“Fuck, Aurora. I love it when you scream for me. It makes me want to spread that perfect pussy and shove my cock inside you and give you something to really scream about.”
“We’re going to hell, Angelo.” He doesn’t say a word. After a few
“Of the time I almost fucked the hottest girl I’ve ever met.”
“If you think I’m anything but crazy about you, Rory, then you’re fucking insane.”
Angelo Visconti isn’t a knight in shining armor, he’s a monster in an Armani suit.
“What does Alberto do to you, Rory?” He speaks slowly, like he doesn’t trust himself to say the words. “Tell me what he does to you.”
“You’re way too old to be my daughter’s boyfriend.” I laugh. Yeah, if you think I’m old, you should see her real fucking boyfriend.
“He doesn’t recognize me outside of the forest, Angelo. That’s why it can’t be knocked down, and that’s why we can’t leave. What my father and I have, it doesn’t exist outside of it.”
“Out of all my sins, you’re my favorite.”
“I swear to God, Rory. You better know how to fly, because if you fall, I’m coming with you.”
“Fuck, baby. Do you know what it feels like to kill a man?”
“Remember how you told me to think like a businessman, not a thug?”
“Sorry, Magpie. I’m a thug through and through.”
“I’m going to burn this fucking dress when we get home.”
I couldn’t save my mama from the Viscontis, but I sure as shit will save Rory.
“So, now you’re stuck with another old man.” “I guess I am.”
“I’m old enough to be your father. How does that make you feel?”
“Does that mean I can call you daddy now?”
“Fuck, baby. I’ve waited too fucking long for this.” With one hand around my
“I liked that sweater.” “You can have all my sweaters.”
“You taste even better than I imagined,”
“Starting a war with my family was worth that alone.”
