“Reformed fuckboy, flower.”Finn lifts my hand and kisses it.
I shake my head and take another bite.I know who these guys were before.
“You don’t have a pedigree like us.New money.”Wyatt makes a face but Drew laughs.
“I doubt any of you will wine and dine Sara quite like I do.”Drew leans forward and meets my eyes.“I bring romance to this equation.She needs someone who will pamper her and show her a good time.”
I smile because he has done that.“Drew is winning at dating.”
“We haven’t really had a chance to date yet, pip.”Dante draws my attention.
“You want to date me?”I arch an eyebrow because we kind of discussed this, but not really.
Dante runs his finger along my jaw.“Of course, pip.Why wouldn’t I want some one-on-one time with you without competing with the others?Or sharing a bed.”
“I’m not opposed to sharing a bed.”My cheeks heat as I admit that.
Dante’s gaze drops to my lips.“We’re all aware of your growing appetite.”
A burst of warmth flows through me as he lifts his gaze back to mine.
“While we all love fucking you, pip, there’s more to this than just that.”Dante strokes his finger down my neck, igniting sparks in my blood.
“I like the fucking part, boss.”I angle my head down a little in a challenge.
Dante chuckles and straightens.“Careful what you wish for.”
I couldn’t wish for more than this.The conversation turns to work and the guys soon start to quiz Drew on his businesses.Both his family business and the strip club.I try to listen intently.I still have my internship to finish and then one more semester of school.
After I graduate, I’m going to need a job that will get me ready to work with Madison, Kayla, and Hope.Madison found a mentor.I need to do the same.That and find a job after I graduate.We need experience to run a business, whether it’s starting one ourselves or taking the reins at Cliodhna from Deidre Byrne, Madison’s mentor.
“The food that good, flower?”Finn’s voice makes me focus in on them.
“Sorry, what?”I look around at their amused faces.
“You left us, princess.”Drew gives me a half grin.“What were you thinking about?”
“College, career, taking over the world.”I smile back.“Normal girl things.”
“I support you in whatever you want to do.”Drew nods solemnly.“Which makes me the best boyfriend.”
I laugh.“You’re a very good boyfriend.”
“We should clean up.”Wyatt stands, but someone clears her throat.
We all turn to look at Natasha standing in the doorway to the kitchen.I still don’t know what to feel about her.So I just wait because she seems like she has something to say.
She wrings her hands.“Things are strained with you guys and Tom.And I get it.He should have warned you better.I should have said something to him.”
She steps into the room and Dante stands to block me from her.
Her eyes widen as she lifts her gaze up to him, but she straightens and doesn’t back down.
“I’d like to get to know Sara better.”Her hand goes to the small swell of her abdomen.She really isn’t showing yet.“Tom—” She stops and looks up at the ceiling.“I love him very much.We’re still trying to figure us out, and then…”
She gestures to her stomach.
“I’m not mad at you.”I stand and put my hand on Dante’s back, moving to his side.“I don’t know you.But I’d like to get to know you.Technically, you’re family.”
