“Good idea. I’ll join you.” Sienna coos down at Daisy, jiggling her leg.

“We can all play golf or do some manly things.” Mack smirks before taking a sip of his beer.

“I want to play golf. Can I go with Dad?” Mateo asks.

“We will both go. It's not just a boy sport.” Summer shoots Mack a glare.

Given she’s a soldier, I’m not surprised by her response.

“I have a cover to finish before New Year, but I’ll drive you around,” Adelina offers. “How fun.”

I roll my eyes.

She has to be joking.

I have to help her into the passenger seat, and I’m not joking when I say it takes a lot of strength. But I’m a smart man, so I need to choose my words carefully.

“Kitten, there’s no way you’ll fit behind the wheel.”

Okay, maybe I’m not that smart.

That’s not all. Watching her drive on the other side of the road terrifies me more than her father finding us down here. I’m not a statistician, but I’m pretty sure the chance of her dying is higher.

“No one is driving anywhere” Connor says, shooting his wife one of his domineering glares that I’m becoming familiar with.

I thought I was protective, but he’s like an alpha on steroids.

“The driver and your bodyguard will take you.”

Mia smiles.

When I first met her, I thought she was submissive, but what I’ve come to understand is that the once mafia princess is strong, smart, and knows how to manage her husband.

Just as mine does.

“Where’s your wine?” Connor suddenly asks her.

Mia glances at her water as if she’s surprised to see it in her hand. The look on her face when she replies is lined with guilt. “Oh. Um...”

He drops his glass on the table and turns his body toward hers.

“Okay.” She puts her glass down and holds up her hands. “Just wait. Before you get upset, I was going to tell you when we got back to New York.”

“Mia.” He growls.

I glance around at the Dark Kings, and their mouths are parted.

“I found out a few days ago, but you are such a protective grump. I wanted to enjoy the holidays.”

“Mia.” He growls again, darker and louder.

She climbs out of her seat and onto his lap. Connor immediately wraps his arms around her, and she whispers in his ear.

What is going on?

Connor launches out of the seat—which goes flying—with her in his arms.

Daisy screams and Mia squeals between giggles.
