There was zero hesitation in shooting his cousin. The act confuses me. Cosa Nostra comes first. Blood over water. I should be so far down on the list it makes my stomach sick.
“You shot your cousin,” I state, still dumbfounded.
“That will be a lesson to anyone who touches what’s mine.” Dark venom laces his tone, and a shiver shoots right between my legs. No one has ever placed me first before. Our eyes stay watching each other. I should break the contact, remind myself of who I am. His pupils dilate, displaying warmth that heats me from the inside out. I swallow.
He doesn’t shy away, moving closer. We’re so close his nose brushes down my face. I deserve to be with someone like Romeo. But not this version. He’s too sweet. It should have been his hands around my neck.
He’s locked away, banished, because my family killed his father. There should be hate in his eyes, not compassion. Being with me will only cast a dark cloud over him. Everyone around me ends up hurting one way or another. If Romeo keeps me, nothing good will come to him.
“Why do you keep kissing me? We both know I should have been tossed to the pigs,” I sigh out. My voice is barely a whisper, and my eyes draw down, unable to match his gaze anymore.
“Your memory is back.” His words scoff with irritation. It has a way of digging into my heart and squeezing. Warmth no longer vibrates between us, and hatred fills his eyes.
