Mafia Kings: Valentino: Dark Mafia Romance Series #6

I hung up the phone and stared off into space.

He was going to say ‘I love you.’

And then he didn’t.

Why didn’t he?

I already knew the answer:

Because he doesn’t love you.

It hurt like hell to admit that.

Like my heart was made of glass and had cracked in a dozen places without breaking.

Part of me wanted to just leave Sicily behind forever… to start over again somewhere else…

But I knew I couldn’t.

I wanted him too much.

Even if he only gave me scraps of his time, I couldn’t turn them down.

I looked around the beautiful cave I’d spent the night in – alone.

Everywhere I looked was a reminder of Valentino…

And all the things he’d made me feel when he was here.

This is all I might ever get.

Seeing him in secret…

Fucking him like it’s the last time.

Is that enough?

I sat there for a long time asking myself that question.

I finally decided it was…

If the alternative was I never got to be with him again.

We didn’t have much time left together.

Once he was married, I doubted we would be together anymore.

So… I would take the little I could get, because I couldn’t walk away from him.

Not while I could still kiss him again…

And feel him inside me again.

I got up from the bed with a heavy heart and started packing to go to Cefalù.
