“I bet all your Uncle Kavner’s girlfriends have been pretty,” London said.
Daisy blinked. “No.”
London frowned. “What?”
“You’re his first one. He’s never brought a girlfriend to lunch before.”
I saw London go still, and her gaze flicked to mine.
I smiled and tugged her hair. “Eat your lunch, London.”
31
LONDON
Lunch was…fun.
I sipped my Diet Coke and listened to Daisy and Macy laughing at something. The food had been delicious, and I’d surprised myself. I’d had a good time.
Mila and Macy were lovely. They were both attractive, but clearly also smart and capable. Watching the way Dante and Colt interacted with them made my chest tight. Dante was always touching Mila. A small caress, or a kiss on the back of her neck.
Colt was less subtle. Every now and then, he’d haul Macy in for a kiss.
Fingers brushed my ear. “Okay?”
I looked at Kavner and nodded.
“No pain?”
My aches were starting to make themselves known, and I’d need a pain pill soon, but for the moment I was okay. “I’m fine.”
He gave me one of his slow, sexy smiles. “I told you that you had nothing to fear from our family lunch.” He stroked my cheekbone, then wandered back to join his brothers at the kitchen island.
I watched them interact. The five of them were so easy with each other, and it was clear the bond between them was bone deep.
“I don’t think they know the impact they make,” Macy said from beside me.
Mila leaned forward in her chair. “Oh, they do. Women drool over Dante at the club all the time.”
Macy let out a gusty sigh. “They are all droolworthy.”
“Women eye Kavner like they’re starving and he’s a prime cut of steak,” I said.
“The best thing,” Mila said, “is that they’re good men. Loyal. It doesn’t matter if the women look, they don’t look back.” She glanced over at the brothers. “I admire that they grew into men like this on their own. They didn’t have good fathers or role models, only each other. They could have ended up going down very different paths, but they didn’t.”
Macy reached out and squeezed my arm. “So, the women can eye Kav all they want. He only has eyes for you.”
I fiddled with my hair. “Look, Kavner is helping me out, but we’re not a couple.”
Mila raised a brow. “You look like a couple.”
“He’s a billionaire. He can have his pick of any woman.”
Macy and Mila traded a glance.
Macy cleared her throat. “He’s never brought a woman here until now.”
Mila’s gaze dropped to the emerald resting on my chest. “And I’m pretty sure he’s never given a woman a necklace like that.”
