My eyes go wide. “You are a godfather?” My shock must be evident because he shoves my arm playfully.

“Don’t look so surprised, I am excellent with children. And that little guy in particular is something special. He is awesome. Anyways, yes, he would love to come over. I will have Gio bring him for dinner one of these days.”

I brighten with excitement and smile. “Thank you, be safe today.”

“Always,” he calls out as he heads for the door.

A couple hours later I hear Kiki from downstairs. “Holy shit! Where can I find myself a Mafia Boss!”

I laugh and shake my head as I crest the corner upstairs and see her in the foyer wearing designer jeans with a maroon blouse that compliments her willowy figure. Her raven black hair really stands out against the maroon color and it looks like she has cut it at least a couple of inches since I saw her last. I missed this girl more than I realized. We have been best friends for years and I love her, crazy antics and all.

“Keeks!” I shout as she looks up to see me.

Her eyes light up as she sprints up the stairs towards me. When she reaches me, she practically tackles me in a hug. I laugh excitedly.

“I missed you bitch! Next time you fall in love with a rich Mob Boss, invite me over sooner.” She winks before making herself at home, poking her head into every room she can find.

“Pretty sure there will not be a next time, he is it for me Keeks.”

“Did he put a ring on it?” She asks.

“Of course not, we just found each other again a little over a month ago Kiki.”

She just shrugs before opening another door. “Till he locks it down there are always possibilities, even then there still are.”

I roll my eyes at her. “Stop. Now if you are done snooping are you ready? I can have Benjamin and Freddy get the car.”

Her eyes light up at the mention of guy’s and she loops her arm through mine as we make our way down the stairs.

“Benjamin and Freddy, you say? Tell me everything,” she says as she waggles her eyebrows.

“Freddy is, I would guess in his late 40’s and extremely surly. Benjamin in probably no older than 30 and is pretty quiet, seems like a serious guy. Good luck getting any of Luca’s men to crack. I am halfway convinced they are all emotionless robots.”

“Challenge accepted.”

As we reach the bottom of the stairs, I see Benjamin come through the door and look at me, his eyes dart over to Kiki before they come back to me.

“We are ready when you are Miss,” Benjamin says as he holds his hands in front of himself stiffly.

“We are ready, thank you-”

“Thank you, Benjy,” Kiki purrs as she licks her lips slowly.

I am completely stunned to see Benjamins eyes glued to Kiki’s lips as they darken with lust. I guess if anyone is able to appeal to the men underneath the façade, it is Keek’s.

“It’s Benjamin,” he corrects her, but his tone shows that he doesn’t really mind the nickname.

Kiki takes a couple of steps closer to him, lazily drawing lines across his chest. I notice he stops breathing as she touches him.

“Is that what you would like me to scream tonight?” She asks huskily while Benjamin swallows roughly.

I laugh lightly and shake my head, she works fast.

“Think about it,” she tacks on before she reaches for my hand and we walk out the door to the waiting car.

When we slide in the back, I look over to see her throwing fuck me eyes at Benjamin in the mirror before he quickly looks away and starts the car. I elbow her and give a hard look. “Stop making the men uncomfortable, Kiki.”
