"Very well… He’s definitely the one…” Luigi says with a smile, still adverting his eyes.

“I’ll be there in a few…” I say, hoping he leaves, so I can get dressed.

He nods and the door clicks closed.

Tony looks at me. “The one?”

“The one that will take my place in a few years…”

He smirks and nods. “Getting out of the game?”

“Maybe…” I smirk back. “Looks like it could be getting to that time.”

He laughs. “I mean, you just cuddle me, so… I guess you’re going soft…”

“You cuddled me, too..” I pull myself up off the desk.

“So, guess I’m going soft too…”

“You saying you want to join me in retirement?”

“That might not be such a bad idea…” he laughs, pacing in front of the door, thinking about something. “You know, the thesis where we first met…” he taps his finger against his chin.

“I was standing right out there,” and he points to the door. “I was waiting to use the John…”

“And Reggie…” I grumble, annoyed just thinking about his outburst that day.

“Reggie…” he trails dreamily, almost as if he’s admiring him. “He’s cheating!” He mimics Reggie that day. “He’s stacking the decks! Blah blah blah!”

“Watch yourself…” I say, remembering the moment almost too well.

“You watch yourself!” Tony yells, pointing at me, feigning anger.

“Pretty sure he said ‘bitch’” I remind.

He laughs and points at me. “You’re right, but I’m not going to say that part!”

“Scared?” I ask, my brow raising. I have to admit, he looks really good standing there in his underwear.

“A little…” he bends down and grabs his pants. “Give me back my money!” He thunders, going back to his theatrics as he puts his legs in the black slacks. “I’ll be on my way!” He smiles.

“No refunds,” I flirt, walking over to him, draping my arms around his shoulders, leaning close.

“And then… a super sexy man came in,” he whispers seductively. “We got a problem here…? That’s what our hero asked…”

“Oh, is it?” I ask, kissing him tenderly.

He pushes away from me with a wide smile and leaps backward. “Nothing that concerns you! Get outta here!”

“Alright, alright…” I muse. “Let’s get back out there. Alessandro has something he wants to talk to us about…”

“Aw…” he feigns disappointment. “I was getting to the good part.”

“Tell it to me later,” I say over my shoulder as I grab my clothes.

“You know,” he says, grabbing my waist from behind as I bend over. “I should probably owe Reggie a favor, too, for introducing us.”

I turn my chin over my shoulder to look at him and smile. “Maybe, so…” I whisper. I’m already head over heels for this man. I should thank Reggie, too.
