My phone vibrates with a text.
Your Every Thang is reporting in.I'm at Lioness Towers, safe, trying to find a parking spot.
Ok.Check in again when you leave.
When I walk up, they all turn to look at me.Maria speaks first."My God, Aurei, are all the men in your family handsome?"
I laugh at her."I never really thought of it.But I guess they are."I grin at them.I speak individually to each other when we hug.
Antonio gives me a typical Italian hug, kissing both cheeks."I found a nice house with a big yard.Gio and the children will be coming at the end of the school year.Everyone is excited to be moving to America."He grins."We are one big happy family again."
Angelo does the same but slaps harder."The flight was good.Long.Quiet.Good."Everyone laughs, knowing he is glad to be out from under Mia's eye for now."I'm looking forward to my new role.Being Siri's personal assistant."He pulls on his jacket lapels and looks at Antonio."We are equals now, no?"
Antonio smirks."No, but you'll get there.I'll train you."
Angelo asks me."Perhaps Siri can give me an insider's tour later?"
"I'm sure she will, but it will have to wait a few days."
"Si, Si.Of course, "He nods.
Quintus gives me a hug, then pulls away and gives me a 'shit eating' grin."I just left a club meeting at The Lioness Towers.Guess who I saw there looking as hot as ever?"
"My girl?"
"She got out of her car with her cute little ass packed up tight in her jeans, and she strutted her stuff.My men were all watching and enjoying that view."
I frown at him, not happy to hear that.
Quintus punches my arm."Bro, chill.I straighten them out.I told them that she was off-limits, who she was, and who she belonged to.They won't harm her; they'll have her back."He grins that same grin at me."But I can't keep them from enjoying the show.That little twitch in her ass that swings her hair says, Bold, Baby, Bold."His eyebrows twitch, and he says."Damn!"Then he sucks his teeth.
The sound makes me want to punch them right down his throat.He turns away, ignoring me, and introduces himself to Maria.She is eyeing him with a mix of respect because he had the balls to say that to me and of admiration because he is such a handsome devil.
He takes her hand and bows down to kiss it.I swear, he pours it on thick sometimes.I roll my eyes as Maria giggles and blushes.
He grins at her, knowing he made her pussy soak itself, and then turns to me all business.He is perfect for this job.
I motion to the door of the warehouse."Can we go in now?I've got a hot date with a hot chica that has a sexy twitch and beautiful hair."
Laughing, we step inside the old abandoned building, and Antonio takes over the tour."I've put the blueprints from the architect on a work table to review.Let's look them over first.Then we'll tour the building."He rolls them out and explains the vision the architect came up with for our new home office for Maximus Enterprises.We discuss the layout, then the pros and cons on our walkthrough and there are a few adjustments.Overall the entire workup is good and will fulfill my vision.
Maria listens quietly to everything, and when we are finished, she asks."What is my reason for being here?"
I grin at her."You will have an office here too.I would like to offer you a business proposition.Walk with me."I hold my arm up, and she slides under it.I tell the others."That's all for today.We will start construction next week.For now, get settled into your new homes."They nod, and I tell them as they start out."Siri hopes you will join us for her finale," I smirk at them."I don't know if I want you all there, but she does."
"Roger, boss," Angelo says."I'll be there."
Antonio nods."Wouldn't miss it."
Quintus smirks."I wouldn't dream of missing it."
"Keep your phones on at all times.Vegas never sleeps."
They walk out, and I look down at Maria.Her hand comes up to hold my fingers while I talked."Maria.You and I have a special relationship."
"That we do."She grins up at me.
We start to walk."I have my hands in a lot of different businesses and charities.The local soup kitchens being one of them."
