Dante turned around. “They won’t find out; it’s between me and Madison.”
“We found out,” Gabe muttered and moved his jaw around.
“By chance. It stays here.”
“Fine.” Gabe put up both hands, palms out. “Won’t say another word.”
“So what is this deal?” Enzo asked as an emotion flickered across his face that Dante couldn’t quite place.
“Same one you had with her, only she is exclusive to il Signore.”
“Wow, you snagged her with exclusivity. That’s going to drive the numbers higher if she can only be seen here. I know some guys follow her to different clubs,” Lucca said.
“Exactly.” Dante clapped Gabe on the shoulder. And held his hand out.
“My man with a plan.” Gabe clasped hands with Dante and let go. “We good.”
“Enzo, what’s Madison’s address? I forgot something.”
Enzo’s eyes narrowed. “What did you forget? I can just tell her when I call with the schedule. What is it?”
“None ya.” Why was Enzo so concerned? He acted like he was her father or something.
“Round two?” Lucca stepped back out of punching range.
“No. It’s just not any of your business what it is.” Dante wasn’t going to tell them they had already done several rounds or that he had forgotten to use a condom.
“Here it is.” Enzo pulled out his phone and sent it to him. “I hope you know what you’re doing.” His tone said he didn’t approve. Dante wanted to know why? Was it because he wanted Madison? That had to be it. But did she want Enzo back?
“Is there something you want to tell me?” Dante sat back behind his desk and looked at Enzo. “She said she wasn’t seeing anyone. Are you saying something is different?”
Enzo’s jaw tightened. “No. As far as I know she is free.”
The tightness in Dante’s chest loosened. “But you wanted her?”
“Yes.” Came out like it was said between clenched teeth.
“Then why didn’t you make a move?” Dante was confused. None of them were shy around women. They had all had plenty of experience with the opposite sex.
“I was waiting. Giving her some space, and she hadn’t been back to the club for a while.” Enzo stood up.
“Space from what?” Dante pushed his chair back and stood too. Dante knew you could have a relationship without sex. Was that what she had with Enzo and then they broke up because Enzo wanted more? Then why did she have no problem sleeping with him?
“I don’t know.” Enzo sat back down and put his head in his hands. “She also doesn’t know what type of business we’re in. From what I remember in high school, she didn’t mess with anyone doing anything bad.”
“Doing anything bad like what?” Dante walked closer to Enzo.
“She was like a snitch, but not in a complete bad way.”
“And you have her working for us?” Gabe sat up on the couch.
“She doesn’t know,” Enzo said.
“But what if she finds out?” Gabe asked.
“What does not in a bad way mean?” Dante was concerned, especially with the information he had been told.
“Like she didn’t try to get people in trouble on purpose, but it might just happen.”
