Venom's Kiss: A Mafia Love Triangle Romance

33

I could feel my resolve crumbling, the emotions I had buried for so long bubbling to the surface.

The pain, the longing, the confusion—it was all still there, as raw as it had been the day he left.

"You shouldn't be here," I said, my voice trembling. "You're dangerous, Vito. I know what you're involved in. The mafia..."

Vito's eyes darkened further, his jaw tightening.

"This isn't about the mafia. This is about us."

I swallowed hard, my heart pounding in my chest.

I wanted to scream at him, to tell him he was wrong, that there was no 'us.'

But the words wouldn't come.

Because deep down, I knew he was right.

There was unfinished business between us.

And no matter how much I tried to deny it, Vito still had a hold on me, a hold I wasn't sure I could break.
