Dammit. Joey eyed Sophia DLano in royal-blue glitz, noting that the dress advertised her curves like a lit-up billboard for Viagra. What else can go wrong tonight?
The minute hed spoken the words, she spied him and waved, then started over.
Lucky asked, How do you want to play this? You plan on telling her youre a daddy, or do we keep Niccolo and Rhea a secret for the time being? The latest rumor is that shes determined to get you to the altar before New Years.
Joey ground out the cigarette. We dont tell her a damn thing. Not until I talk to Frank.
What are you doing here, Joey?
Sophia arrived batting her long lashes and smiling like shed just had her teeth cleaned. Your secretary told me you were out of town.
I was. Joey stood, leaned forward and kissed Sophias flawless cheek.
She glanced at Lucky and Jackson, then at the empty seat. It looks like theres room for one more. She tilted her head and batted her eyelashes at Joey. Turning slightly, she made sure her breasts brushed his arm. I havent seen you in days. Lets catch up.
Joey stepped aside and allowed Chicagos mafia princess to slide into the booth, then sat down beside her. Since their breakup, Sophia had been inching her way back into his life. But for the past three months, shed been pushing harder than ever. He admitted that she was beautiful, with rich caramel eyes and sooty black hair that fell past her shoulders, but hed never envisioned himself marrying her.
So was it business or pleasure?
Excuse me?
Your trip? Sophia licked her lips. Your secretary didnt say. Youre not hiding some big dark secret, are you?
Jackson choked on his beer, while Lucky almost bit in half the cigarette he was lighting. But Sophia didnt notice. She was too busy situating herself closer to Joey so he could look down the front of her dress.
The waitress came and took Sophias drink order. Two Moonshots later, she was snuggled close to Joey, purring in his ear. Thirty minutes later, Jackson excused himself, claiming he had to go home and rescue Sunni from MacMac being Jacksons once K-9 partner who was now retired and spent most of his time on the sofa watching Westminster and dreaming about a long-legged greyhound with an attitude.
