I turned toward her to ask if she wanted anything to drink when I caught the light caressing her bare skin, shimmering over her shoulders, and the lowcut dip of her gown that barely held back her breasts.
Yeah. I was going to fucking kill someone tonight.
I should have insisted that she changed somewhere along the way.
On a whim, I stopped by her room before I entered the masquerade and found it empty, but I did take her suitcases in the passageway behind the mirror. They were still in the back of the SUV.
Fuck. I should send Zane to fetch them so I could cover Bianca in a dozen sweatshirts and baggy pants.
Instantly overprotective, I reached my arm across the back of the seat, scooting closer so I could shelter her from the hungry predators in the room. I didn’t think any of them would dare to flirt with her, but I couldn’t be sure.
“You’re drawing attention to us,” she announced with an amused smile.
“The hell I am. It’s you,caramia.”
“You haven’t stopped growling like a ferocious animal since we sat at this booth.”
“Maybe I’m the big bad wolf,” I joked.
“Are you planning to eat me?” She blinked innocently, knowing exactly how dirty it sounded.Naughty girl.
“Don’t say that shit right now, Binc.”
“Why? I’m all dressed up, and you promised to show me a good time.”
“When the fuck did I promise that?”
“When you proposed,” she replied haughtily, “I’m holding you to it.”
My mouth opened to describe in vivid detail all I planned to do to her later when Exorcist entered the bar. Next to him, scanning the common room, Porcia found her niece.
“Bianca!”
A screech of surprise launched fromla mia bellissima bambola,and she pushed me to move out of her way.
“Damn,tesoro.” I slid out of the booth and couldn’t help but smile as the two women embraced.
“Ragazza dolce,” Porcia gushed. “I’ve missed you.”
Bianca blinked back tears. “I haven’t heard from you. What’s going on?”
Porcia chanced a glance at Exorcist. “A long story.”
His intense gaze roamed over her. “There’s not a lot of time, darlin’.”
“I know,” she replied sadly, clearing her throat. She turned back to Bianca. “We’ll have to catch up about that later. Right now, we need to remove your tracker.”
Bianca froze. “What?”
Fuck! I knew it! “Where is the chip located?”
Exorcist didn’t hesitate to answer, his tone gruff. “Porcia’s chip was implanted in the tissue between her shoulder and elbow on the left arm.” He looked pissed. “I found it by accident.”
“Or by fate,” she contradicted, resting her palm on his chest.
He visibly relaxed. “Or that,” he agreed.
“We think it sends a signal to a GPS tracking device,” she continued.
