Darkest Sins: An Age Gap Mafia Romance

Blood lost for you is blood well spent,

It’s hard to miss a man whose name I don’t even know.”

It’s planted in a matching set of three gray pots, sitting just by the balcony door where she likes to study, not by the window where the rest of her weeds are. My parsley’s living in the best spot

There is a limit to how much shit someone can take before calling it quits and checking out of this world. That night, just moments before the girl found me, I realized that I had my fill.
As I sat on the ground in that alley and watched the dark sky above, I decided to make my next job the final act of my life.

So, I closed my eyes and imagined the bliss of just . . . not existing. Only to have my reverie and visions of finally being free interrupted by a silly girl.

And here I am now. Still alive and breathing. Previously, I didn’t much care if I completed my assignments and came out alive or in a body bag. But I do now. How could I watch over my girl if I’m dead? The night she tied her scarf around my thigh and then offered me her hand, my life became hers.

And I will not allow a potential threat to live anywhere near my tiger cub

But I want to give her something. More than a kiss on her hand. I’ve actually never kissed anyone or anything before. I don’t have much to offer, so that night, I gave her what I had. A kiss for the hand that treated my wound with such care.

But, I can also give her safety.
