“You’ve definitely piqued my interest, but where are Dominic and Damon? You never go anywhere without them.”
“Only Franco knows where I am tonight, I don’t want to be disturbed. I can handle myself.”
“Not that I am complaining but I thought they are your closest men.”
“Just because someone is close to you, doesn’t mean they can’t betray you. In fact, it means you’re just an easier target because you never see it coming.”

“So, we really are in the middle of nowhere, huh?” I say as I make for the stairs.
“No distractions.” He slaps my ass as I walk up the stairs.
His cell phone rings, and I hear him groan behind me. “I thought you said no distractions.”
“I know, I’ll be quick.”
“Can’t you just ignore it?”
