Page 6 of His Broken Queen

“No problem,” Rocco said. “Agent Morgan, why don’t we go to the lobby where it’s more private. I’m certain I can answer any questions you may have about this totally legitimate establishment.”

“When did you start representing Mr. Bilotti?” Carson asked.

“Is that a relevant question?” Rocco pointed toward the lobby. “You heard him, I’m his attorney now, and I’ll handle any inquiries you have while Mr. Marchelli is out of town.”

“He’s smooth,” Gio said as Rocco and Carson walked away. “He could be an asset.”

“Maybe if we weren’t at war with his family.”

“What if he turns out to be a Bilotti? Then he would be our family.”

“Let’s wait for the test results and then we’ll make some decisions.”

“Is everything okay?” Luciana joined us. “I saw Carson.”

“Just the usual harassment,” I sighed. “Rocco is handling it.”

“He is?”

“Santino is out of town. I needed an attorney.”

“You’re full of surprises tonight.”

“I’ll do whatever it takes to make you happy.” I brought her closer to me. “There is nothing I won’t do for you.”

“Can you get rid of her?” Lu muttered under her breath when Aria made her way toward us.

“What’s wrong?” I took her hand. “What did she do?”

“Nothing.”

“Would you rather I ask her?” I gritted my teeth. “What did she do?”

“I don’t like her.”

“Neither do I.”

“Romero.” Aria touched my bicep. “I’m glad to see you finally found your wife. She looked a little lost a while ago.”

“Aria,” Gio said. “Why don’t you manage the front of the house tonight? The staff you have with us tonight are doing a fantastic job.”

“Don’t be silly.” She took the bottle of champagne out of the bucket and refilled Luciana’s glass. “I want to make sure Lu’s night is memorable.”

“I’ve already made sure of that.” When I took Luciana’s face between my hands, Aria’s overfilled lips lost their smile. “Baby, I have one more thing that I’ve been meaning to do for quite a while.” I gently kissed her lips. “Now seems like the perfect time.”

“Promise you won’t be long?” When she licked her lips, my cock stirred. “I’ll miss you.”

“This won’t take long.” I released her. “Aria, I need a minute with you.”

“Anything you need, I’m your girl.” She fluttered her eyelashes at me before smirking at Lu.

You’re going to pay for that.

“Sandro,” I said. “Would you mind keeping my girl company for a few minutes?”

“Not at all.” Sandro took Lu’s hand. “Let’s go dance.”

“Ah…okay.” Lu nodded. “Why not?”
