Mafia Kings: Valentino: Dark Mafia Romance Series #6

After Val left, I quickly got dressed.

I tried dragging a wardrobe in front of the door, but it was too heavy –

So I leaned a wooden chair underneath the doorknob.

I’d seen it done in movies and TV shows.

I hoped it would keep people from opening the door –

But at the very least, I figured it would make a racket and warn me.

That was the only chair in the room, though, so I sat on the bed as far away from the body as I could get.

I could still see the dead man’s shoes sticking out of the small bathroom.

I should have paid for a larger room with a bigger bathroom, I thought –

And laughed.

The man I loved had just killed someone –

And I was thinking, If I only had a bigger bathroom to hide the corpse!

I didn’t feel bad about the dead guy at all.

As far as I was concerned, as soon as he pulled a gun on Valentino, he deserved to die.

I wasn’t even freaked out that Val had killed him.

When it happened, I’d felt –

Relief.

Joy.

Anger – like GET HIM!

And… strangest of all…

A little turned on.

Like, This man is willing to kill for me.

I know it should have horrified me that Val had just killed a man –

But it made me want him even more.

Not like I wanted to throw him down on the bed and jump him right then and there –

But it made me WANT him.

To be with me and only me…

Forever.

And when he held me afterwards?

I felt safer and more protected than I ever had in my life.

I couldn’t really explain it.

All I knew was that I wanted Val to get back as soon as possible…

And I never wanted him to leave.

But I knew he would. Eventually.

I thought about what he’d said –

About me about going to find his fiancée.

I mean, I suppose I could describe her to you, but then you’d have to go out and –

My skin crawled at the thought.

I didn’t even know what she looked like, and I didn’t want to know.

As long as she was just a name, then it was almost like she wasn’t real.

I could pretend she was just some character in a story.

But the idea of meeting her?

The woman who was going to get him instead of me?

Who was going to make love to him for the rest of his life –

Wake up to him in the morning –

And have his children?noveldrama

If it was a choice between her and staying with a corpse, I preferred the dead body.
