But you're... supposed to hate me," I rasped, barely able to speak. He smiled a sad, broken smile as his hands moved to the chains, fingers trembling but quick. "I don't," he whispered.

"No you don't." Then he kissed me. ★★★ - Mafia - Long Lost Sister - Slow Burn - Romance Started: 26/1/24 Finished: 29/4/25
