And she couldn’t be more on point.

I wasn’t interested in messing with Eve Malone before she met Tiago Rossi for the same reason.

These women… They’re family.

I can’t mess with their heads.

We’d all stand to lose.

It would also affect my business.

So, no.

She is in no rush to answer, and I push my chair back and go to the bar.

“More wine?” I ask.

She doesn’t answer, so I pour myself another drink, bourbon on rocks this time, and bring the bottle of wine to the table.

She looks at me, trying to get a feel of me.

Disappointment flickers through her gaze, and it’s more shallow than I expected.

By knowing who I am, she is steps ahead of me.

I give her a double take since there’s no point in pretending we’re not interested in each other.

We’ll probably find each other at the same dining table in James’ house. Or Ed’s.

Not to mention the upcoming wedding.

We’re practically brother and sister now.

It’d laugh if it weren’t so annoying.

For once, I wanted to know a woman before getting in bed with her and see how it all turned out.

She is off-limits now.

Was I immediately thinking about sleeping with her when I spotted her in that coffee shop?

No.

That’s not my style.

Although I am spontaneous like that.

Yes, I am.

I always go for the kill, but in her case, I wanted to see more.Her curiosity about me made me curious of her.

And now I know why she was curious about me.

Tonight was different, as things have changed somewhat. I couldn’t help but notice her legs peeking from under her skirt, her smokey eyes, and her long hair.

She looked classy and sexy in a sweet kind of way.

Normally I’m less interested in the details of a woman’s appearance.I’m practical and cynical when it comes to that.
