Maria My parents promised my hand to an inept crime boss. In order to save myself from the fate they've organised in Salerno, the devil who whispered his dirty words in my ear while calling me an angel comes up with another agreement. Roel It's not her body or the confidence she carries that got my attention, it's the fucking sooty wings on her back that add to her fallen angel look. Every head turns and she walks steadily to the bar, a genuine angel among all the seven deadly sins. When she stops at my side, she doesn't let me speak holding a hand up and speaking before I get a word out. "No, it didn't hurt." She has a slight accent, Italian but she's not from our circles. Fuck her brush off thinking I'd give a lame pick up, moving closer to her I whisper with my lips brushing her ear. "Don't worry, angel, I can make it, if you ask real nice." Her eyes snap to me, deep blue like swirls of the ocean pulling me under their waves. Running a finger across my jaw, she taps on my chin. "Pretty baby, I wouldn't be the one asking." I've met my dream woman. Or I've died and this is the part of hell where they let me get a taste of what I want. Either way, I'm fucking game.
