She runs her arm across her forehead and smiles at one of the other girls. The light bulb goes off as I watch that smile light up her face.
All that ass and those cute tits. She’s Dante’s walking dream, and if she’s anything like her sister, she’s his perfect match. The wheels start to turn.
I’m going to make this happen. I just need time and the perfect opportunity. Two birds, one stone.
Lizzy gains a new friend and Dante is going to get his wish. I’m almost positive that once I get to know Lizzy, she will check off all the boxes. I feel it in my gut.
“I don’t like that look in your eyes. What are you thinking?” Jace says.
“Stugots. At least, nothing that concerns you.”
He groans and shakes his head. Wanting to make my presence known, I stand and saunter over to Lizzy. She has her head down over a book as I approach her.
“You owe me twenty grand,” I lean to whisper in her ear.
She turns to me with those big brown eyes, and they widen as her cheeks start to glow. My heart aches a bit as I look at her up close. If Ny and I had little girls they’d probably look like this.
Ny really wants to put that pressure on the world. Me, a father to girls who look like this? Someone would lose their son if they so much as shed a tear.
“Excuse me?” she breathes.
“You have one of two options. Join my team to earn me back my money or spend the night in my bed.”
She scoffs, then looks me over and laughs. “Nice one. I told Ming I just had some personal stuff to sort out. I’ll be dedicated to the team from here on out. No need to prank me.”
“Who’s pranking? You’re really good out there. My team didn’t stand a chance. Come win my money back for me. Or…”
I look her over. I remember when she was a newborn. Ny was so happy to have a little sister. It was all she talked about. This is not that tiny little bundle.
Yes, she’s right up Dante’s alley. I still don’t get why he settled for Bethany. I’ve seen his type. His face lights up when he sees women who look just like this.
“Or what? Sleep with you? I don’t even know you. I may read romance novels, but I know I’m not about to live one. Do you mind? My book was getting really good,” she says, dismissing me.
I hold my hand out. “My name is Gio. I’m the owner of your new team and I think we’re about to become good friends.”
She looks at my hand and then at my face. Something crosses her features quickly. She wrinkles her nose, and it reminds me so much of Ny.
“You want to be my friend?” she says this almost hopefully.
I can’t help wondering what happened to the friends I sent to her. She seems to still have a bond with Ming. I’m not sure what happened with the others.
I reach in my pocket for my cardholder and pluck a card out. Turning it over, I scribble my personal cell on the back. I place the card in her small hand and wink at her.
“Call me anytime you need.”
“Di Lorenzo Industries. Gio Di Lorenzo. Executive assistant to Dante Di Lorenzo,” she reads the card.
She looks up at me and gives a little smile. “Okay, I’ll play for you, but I’m not sleeping with you. A friend, maybe. Your vibe is hella sick. You seem like you’d be fun to be around. Yet, I don’t think you’d be judgy. I’d rather be alone than judged.” She clamps her mouth shut.
“Sorry, I babble when I’m nervous.”
I give her a smile. “I like it. All the best friendships are built on honesty. You don’t have to worry about me seducing you or judging you. I have three brothers, but I always wanted a sister.” I tap the tip of her nose. “It’s official, you’re too adorable for a quick fuck, and I need a friend more than a fuck buddy.”
She pulls a disbelieving face. “You…you need a friend?” She rolls her eyes.
“Why is that so hard to believe?”
“You’re drop-dead gorgeous. You look like if I sniffed you, I’d smell money. Yup, there it is, I just got a whiff. And in the last two minutes, you made me not even care that I’m not reading. Trust me, bubby, that’s a feat.” She purses her lips with her hands on her hips.
