But he doesn’t go.
“Uh, look, I’m stepping out of line, but . . .”
He pauses, looks up to the ceiling, then over at my brother and Christian and back at me.
“I know I’m stepping out of line, but I don’t like him.”
“Christian? Not a fan either.”
“You’re not a fan of your boyfriend?”
“He’s not—” I stop myself. I’m not discussing my personal life or lack of one. “Or did you mean my brother? Because he’s not high on my list either.”
“Frank. I don’t like him.”
All my senses surge to life. “Why?”
Andrew shifts. “It’s not anything he’s done. I’ve been keeping a real good eye on him. It’s just something about him that doesn’t sit right with me. He doesn’t ogle or anything, and I haven’t seen him do anything wrong. I just get a feeling.”
“Thanks,” I say. “Keep an eye on him when he’s here.”
I turn, saunter past my brother and Christian, and go into my office.
They both burst in before I could even get halfway across the room.
Leo points at me. “We weren’t done.”
“We were,” I say.
“I just think,” says Christian. “That—”
“Enough.” I hold up my hands. “Frank apparently says he wasn’t feeling well. And I don’t need either of you giving me pointers on how to do my job, so get out. I’ve had enough.”
“Fine.” Leo walks out the door a little too readily.
I grab Christian’s shirt.
He grins, and I know I made a mistake. He’s way too close, and I’m touching him.
“I knew you liked it rough, sweetness. But your brother just left.”
“Go to hell, Christian.”
He grabs me and kisses me hard, fast, and deep. My head is spinning, my feet not steady as he releases me.
“Get out,” I say. “We’re done.”
Christian smiles as he goes to the door. He stops, turns, and looks at me.
“You’re wrong, sweetness. We’re not done. Not by a long shot.”

CHRISTIAN
“She’s gonna be fucking pissed as hell when she finds out,” I say to Leo as Nicolo drives.
“Mia’s always pissed off recently. I blame you.”
