LULU
“Best nightever,” Scarlett says with a sleepy smile as we stride toward the elevators. We just finished getting rubbed, buffed, and polished all over, and we’re as limp as the cooked pasta I served earlier.
“So good,” I agree. “I wonder if I could talk Rome into this once a month.”
“I’m pretty sure you could talk him into it whenever you want,” she says with a chuckle as she presses the button for the elevator.
The doors open when it stops on our floor, and I’m surprised to see Luke standing inside.
“Ladies,” he says with a nod, but he only has eyes for Scarlett.
“Is Rome back, too?” I ask him.
“I just dropped him off at the penthouse,” he confirms. “I’ll ride up with you and make sure you make it safely.”
“I can ride along,” Scarlett says, and I press my lips together.
Atta girl!Get some one-on-one time with the sexy mobster.
She winks at me, and once we’re on the top floor, I step out, make sure the guards are at the door, then nod back at Scarlett and Luke.
“Bye, guys.”
They wave, and before the doors shut, I see Luke make a dive for Scarlett. I can’t help but giggle and do a little happy dance as I stride over to the door.
“Miss,” one of the guards says with a nod as I press my palm to the plate, unlocking it.
“Have a good night.” I step inside, then shut and lock the door the way Rome told me to.
A light is on in the kitchen, but no one is down here. Rome must have left it on for me.
He’s so considerate for being a self-professed bad guy.
After kicking off my flip-flops, I pad barefoot up the stairs and into the bedroom. I can hear the shower running in the en suite, but when I cross the threshold into the bedroom, the water cuts off, so I crawl up to sit in the middle of the bed.
I don’t have to wait long before a naked, still damp Rome saunters out of the bathroom. He’s headed for the closet, but he stops dead in his tracks when he sees me sitting here.
Holy Christ on a cracker.Every inch of him is perfection. All that inked skin. The muscles. The blue eyes and the dark hair.
And that pierced cock does, indeed, make me lose my fucking mind.
“Did you have fun tonight?” he asks.
“Too much fun.” I grin at him. “I’m so relaxed, I think I could sleep for a week. Scarlett and I both thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” Rather than cross to the closet, he sinks his knee into the mattress and crawls his way over to me, urging me onto my back.
“We ran into Luke in the elevator,” I inform him as I cup his cheek. “And I’m pretty sure Scarlett’s staying with him tonight.”
Rome blinks at me. “I don’t know if I need to know that information.”
“You don’t. But I’m sharing a little gossip about my best friend with my man.”
I bite my lip and grin at him.
“Because I know you’ll be discreet, and I can trust you.”
He nods and leans in to brush his lips over mine. “Yeah, firefly. You can trust me.”
