“Your ring. It looks heavy enough to weigh you down if you choose to fall.”
My moral compass: it’s as weak as a house of cards, and if Aurora lets out one more fucking breath like that, she’ll blow it down.
And for the first time since we met, I see her smile. I think I like it when she smiles.
“I was wrong about you, Magpie,” he says huskily, licking his lips. “You are a bad girl.”
“Don’t test me today, Aurora. I’ve spent nine years resisting temptation. You’re making it very hard for me to get to a decade.”
“Promise me something, Rory.” I feel her pulse flicker against my thumb. “What?” she whispers. “We’ll find him before your wedding.” She pauses. “Why?” “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.”
“You were right to want to draw a line in the sand. Because I’m no better than them.”
“Okay.” She pauses. “I won’t key your car, and you can spank me anyway. How about that?” “I don’t negotiate with terrorists.”
“We’re going to hell, Angelo.”
“You know, I think I have the matching bra somewhere,” I say dryly. “Uh, yeah. Can I, um, get it back?” “No, it’s a souvenir.” “Of what?” she whispers thickly. “Of the time I almost fucked the hottest girl I’ve ever met.”
“You’re insane,” he murmurs, gripping my jaw. “If you think I’m anything but crazy about you, Rory, then you’re fucking insane.”
“So help me God, if you take another step, I will not be responsible for what I’ll do.” “You’re not a made man, anymore. Remember?” I spit. “You’re just dressed like one.”
“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.”
“Shame.” I turn. “What is?” “I was looking forward to listening to your call. I never could stand uncle Alberto.”
“You’re worth starting a war for.”
