Betrayed

Especially when she made it very clear she wanted me just as much.

While we were forced into lockdown because of the threat of a mafia war against our family—thanks to both of my brothers’ indiscretions—we gave into our attraction.

Again, and again. In ways that made me addicted to her.

Even as I wondered if she was worth the risk of my brother’s wrath, I forgot to consider what else I might be risking, such as the family secrets I found myself sharing with her.

Too late, I realized the honeytrap she’d set for me was too sweet to be true.

I’d never been anyone’s fool, but her betrayal was one I didn’t see coming.
