Matteo watches the show that is ending in front of us as one of the women cries out in a loud orgasm.
“How does she feel about you being here?”
“We both have to work, right? She doesn’t love the fact that I did what I did to Donovan, either.”
“All I’ll say is things were never supposed to work for me and Skylar either, but we’re doing really well and making it work.”
I snort at the absurdity of Matteo giving me advice on my love life, and he takes it the wrong way.
“You don’t want my advice? Fine. I also came to tell you that Victor thinks we should ramp up our presence with some of the other families before we make whatever play we’re going to make to clean up this mess with the Serranos. He wants to host another mixer here. You’re the one who usually woos people, so it’s going to be up to you to make it happen.”
I give him a terse nod, not yet willing to apologize for my shitty reaction to him. I’ll get there eventually.
A glance at my smart watch shows an update from Zara’s security. They’re halfway through the show and seem to be having a great time. Just lovely. What’s June doing? I pull out my phone and tap out a text asking them to find out for me.
She’s having dessert by herself at Indulge.
I stand, unable to be here without Zara any longer. As I’m walking out, I pass Matteo and Skylar at the bar. She climbs off her barstool and steps into my path, opening her arms for a hug.
I frown but accept it and put my arms around her.
“What was that for?” I ask gruffly when she steps away and smiles at me.
“No reason. You just looked really pissed off.” Her eyes are sparkling with mischief, and I intensify my scowl.
“And you thought jumping in front of a pissed off Dom to give him a hug was the right solution?”
She shrugs and reaches up to straighten my tie. I’m wearing the red one again. “Nice tie. Where are you headed, Master Luke?”
I shake my head and lean in to kiss her cheek. “You’re a brat. I don’t know how Matteo puts up with you.”
“I give magical blowjobs,” she says with a shrug.
“That’s enough torturing him, Princess. Luke doesn’t want to hear about you sucking my cock.”
Matteo stands and claps me on the shoulder. “I take it you’re heading out for the night?”
I nod and back away before he decides to hug me, too. “Yeah. I’ll talk with Bellamy about another mixer next week.” It’s as close to an apology as he’ll get, but he accepts it and wraps an arm around Skylar.
Without another word, I head for the exit and drive myself back to the Pink Sapphire where I make a beeline for Indulge.
When I spot June, I approach cautiously, trying not to look like a thug who is there to intimidate her.
I flash her a smile and she looks at me warily.
“Can I help you?” she asks, her fork midair with a bite of cheesecake about to fall off.
“I don’t know,” I say honestly. “I think I’m here to have a chat about Zara.”
She frowns. “What about her? I won’t say anything bad about that woman, so if you’re a cop trying to arrest her you can bug off.”
I throw my head back, laughing. “Do I look like a cop to you, lass?”
She shrugs, then her eyes widen. “Lass? Are you Luke by chance?”
I wink and nod. “That’d be me.”
“We talked about you at dinner. I can see why she’s so taken with you.”
