“You can say that again.” Vince sounds tired on the other end of the phone. “There’s not much we can do about it tonight, but we’re going to need to find his next of kin tomorrow and make sure we get that money.”

“Yeah, I’ll take care of it.” This is my least favorite part of the job.

“Do a better job this time, Reaper.” Vince puts the phone down, and I head to my car.

“Well, you officially look even more pissed off than I am.” A voice catches me as I pass a bush. Looking into the shadows I see Gianna sitting on a bench by herself.

“Hiding from the goodbyes?” I ask her.

“Sort of.” She smiles and takes a sip of the drink in her hand. “Did my mother send you off with leftovers?” She points at the container in my hand.

“She did. Sweet lady.” I move closer to where she’s sitting, the alcohol and my nerves over the phone call lowering my walls a bit.

Despite who she is, Gianna is a smart and sexy woman. Plus, William putting a ban on her has made her all that more alluring. “Did you enjoy your birthday?” I ask her.

She scoffs. “I did, until I got stuck in a room of old women who were trying to marry me off.”

“Oh? Any interesting options?” I sit next to her and place the leftovers on the other end of the bench.

“Why? Are you on the market?” She raises her eyebrow at me, cocky but so damn sexy.

“Not for anyone that they’d be offering.” I lick my lips as I reply to her, the whiskey making me a lot more willing to participate in this flirting than I was earlier.

She smiles at me again, and I can feel the alcohol completely taking over my brain.

This girl wants me, and I’m about to have a week of hell with work, so why not entertain her a little and give us both a moment of excitement? Plus, I already know what fucking her is like and I would be stupid not to want a second round with her.

I lean in slowly, allowing her time to get up and run if she wants to.

Instead, I see her lean toward me and close her eyes. As our lips meet, I cup her chin in one hand and pull her closer to me by her waist with the other.

She tastes sweet, her mouth warm and inviting as she opens it slightly, and I move my tongue to meet hers. She’s a good kisser in the daylight, just like she was in the middle of the night last night.

She has one hand on the arm that’s around her and the other on my neck. Gripping her closer to me, I can feel her braless breasts through her dress and my shirt, and the kiss deepens.

I could take her right here, strip her down, and lay her across the bench, and thrust my hardening cock into her…

A blinding light shines into my eyelids, and Gianna jumps as we hear the roar of an Aventador coming up the driveway. Someone is probably fetching a drunk spouse from the party.

I lick my lips and look at Gianna. I can see she’s just as turned on as I am.

I smile at her and give her one last peck on the lips before picking up my leftovers and leaving. If I didn’t have to handle work tomorrow morning, I might have convinced her to come home with me.

As I’m driving off, I see Will come out and find his sister, and I wonder how well he’d have handled walking up to us just a few minutes earlier.

Chapter Six

Gianna

Two sugars and cream. I’m amazed I still remember my brother’s coffee preference. But it’s coming in handy now since I’m planning on bribing him to give me information.

“Here’s some coffee.” I smile at him. “I thought we could have a chat.” My brother is busy on his computer, but he closes it to grab his coffee. I’m not sure if that’s so I don’t see what is on the screen, or because he’s willing to give me the attention I’m after.

We haven’t always had the closest relationship, but he’s never been a mean older brother.

“So,” I start the “chat” after Will silently stares at me for over a minute. “I was really surprised that your friend, Dominic, came to my party.”

“He brought you a gift?” William is already looking suspicious.
