“You’d do that for me?”

“I’d do anything for you, Baby. I promise, this year I’ll give you a Christmas that will make you smile, and then every Christmas after that. Deal?”

“Deal.”

I have no clue what I’m doing. All I know is I want to do anything to make this goddess smile.

“Now, if you want to sit and watch this film, I think you better get your pussy far away from my dick. Otherwise, we won’t be watching any of it.”

Her cheeks flush in response as she giggles. Lifting herself off my lap, she swipes the popcorn back up off the floor and moves to sit at the other end of the couch. There’s a mischievous glint in her eyes as she shoves her hand in the box and starts hurling the popcorn at my head, her bubbly laughter filling the room.

I let out a chuckle and shake my head, picking up the stray popcorn on my lap and bringing the sugary ball to my lips.Who eats this sickly shit?

“Oh, is that how you want to play it?” I tease, launching myself across the sofa, caging her underneath me as she tries to wriggle out of my hold, tears streaming down her face as she belly laughs. I tickle her sides. The scene is so funny that I can't help but laugh. We’re behaving like children, but I’ve never been happier.

“Keller, please! Oh my god, it hurts!” she manages between her fit of giggles.

I bring my lips down to kiss her sweet popcorn flavored mouth, biting down on her bottom lip and giving her a grin. My phone vibrating in my pocket brings me out of my love filled haze and digging it out I see Luca’s name flashing. Reluctantly, I lift myself off Sienna and press a quick peck to her forehead. “I won’t be long baby. I gotta take this,” I say as I hit accept and stroll towards my office.

“Brother.”

“Keller, is now a good time to talk?”

The door clicks as I close it behind me and make my way over to my reclining leather sofa, spotting a new white envelope displayed front and center of my dark oak desk.

“Yes, I’m in my office now”

“We have a problem, Brother.”

Shit.

“The Falcones aren’t backing down. Despite Mario refusing to sell the drugs to them, they’ve made an attempt on our port. A fucking terrible attempt, mind you, but an attempt none the less.”

“Okay, you want me to deal with them?” I scratch my fingertips over the stubble on my jaw.

“No.” His answer is quick. “There’s more,”

“Fucking elaborate then, Luca.” I grit out, starting to lose my patience.

“I had Rico stand watch outside Falcone’s mansion last night to see if any of our fuckers were working with them. You won’t believe this. He saw Jamie, Sienna’s ex, rock up, enter the security code for the gates and stroll straight past the guards. He was there for two fucking hours and left empty-handed.”

I pause, my brain absorbing the information.

What in the fuck would Jamie be doing with the mafia? He has yet to strike me as anyone useful.

“Did you find anything on him?” I question.

“Nothing unusual yet. Clean record. Your typical corporate American Lawyer. We’re missing something.”

Clearly.

“Get the guys back on the search. We need to know everything. I can’t have him putting Sienna in danger with the Falcones.”

“You have my word, Brother. She will be protected at all costs. I’ll get my men on it now and get back to you with an update. In the meantime, keep an eye on Sienna. Just in case we are missing something big with the ex. My guts telling me something off, I just need to pinpoint what it is.”

“Agreed.”

I’m reeling with this new information. I know I have to keep my head straight to protect Sienna.
