“I think it will be Diamond Syndicate business. They stopped in the North.”
Then, she noticed the group of twenty armed men coming up behind us.
“So. . .” She put her view back on me. “You think they picked up Dimitri Ivanov?”
I stiffened. For some reason, I didn’t like her knowing his full name.
My armed men remained silent in the background with their guns undrawn.
Thankfully, that loving smile returned on her face. “Cool.”
I quirked my brows. “Cool?”
“I’ve read enough about Mr. Ivanov to know that he keeps things relaxed. Plus, I wanted to meet him. That was why I picked him as my advisor.”
It took everything in me to not glare. “You’re not aFriend of the Four Acesanymore.”
“I know, but it would still be nice to have him as an advisor.”
I wrapped my arm around her waist, pulled her closer to me and whispered in her ear, “That willneverhappen.”
She molded her breasts against my chest. “Says who?”
I stifled my groan. “Don’t do that?”
“Do what?”
“Rub against me—”
“I did not rub against you.” She slipped her breasts up and down and ground into me in the most tantalizing way. “But that right there, that’s rubbing against you.”
The helicopters’ engines whined and the blades chopped through the air, telling me they were descending.
I nipped at her bottom lip. “Do that again and I’m going to fuck you in front of everyone here.”
She laughed. “You’re crazy.”
The ground trembled.
I brushed my lips along her ear. “Do me a favor.”
“What?”
“After you say hi to your cousin and Marcelo, I would like you to give your sisters a tour, I want some alone time with them—”
“So you can kick my cousin’s ass?”
“Not your cousin’s ass.” I tried to kiss her.
She leaned back. “Not anyone’s ass. This is a family event. No fighting. Remember. If you’re good, then you get a show.”
Lust vibrated through me. “It wouldn’t be a fight. I was more thinking. . .tense conversation.”
“Tense better mean happy and joyous because we don’t need any more problems today.”
I frowned. “Bringing surprise guests to the East is disrespectful—”
“And I will check them on it.”
