“Fair point,” Connall concedes, leaning back against the counter as he regards me. “And your big plan is to slope off with your tail between your legs, heart fucking broken, whilst there are a fuck load of snakes and sharks out there who are more than willing to take a bite out of your woman?”
“I’m not sloping off,” I growl, “And I’m not willing to letanyonedo any such thing. I trust Dom to keep an eye on her, and I believe the King will have her back whilst it suits him. Right now keeping her safe, and more importantly thebusinesssafe, is in his best interests.”
“So what’s the plan, and why do you want me tagging along for the ride?” Connall asks.
“For your charm and wit, of course,” I reply, deadly fucking serious.
He laughs. I don’t.
“Okay spill.”
“I’m gonna find her an army of the best men and women money,charmand connections can buy, and you’re going to help me.”
“Well, when you put it like that, how can a man say no?” Connalls replies, grinning.
“And what do you need me to do?” Joey asks.
“Keep your ear to the ground and let me know the second you hear anything about the King that should concern me. Better still, ingratiate yourself with Grim. Get in on the business. She’ll need someone to fix up her men after they’ve been in the cage. Make sure that man is you.”
Joey nods. “You got it.”
“So where to first?” Connall asks me as my eyes begin to drift shut.
“Italy. Romeo Ricci has some contacts out there I’d like to explore…”
“Italy it is,” Connall replies as exhaustion and a heavy dose of painkiller pull me under.
