Ny smiles and crooks her fingers for us to come kiss her cheeks. We both move in to kiss her face on either side. I move my lips to her temple, placing a kiss of promise there.
“I love you, guys,” she says.
I reach for the hem of her shirt and tug it over her head. Jace unclasps her bra as I toss the shirt. Her breasts bounce free, drawing my attention. We lay her back together. I move to pull her shorts and panties down her long legs.
She moans as Jace captures her hardened peak in his mouth. Tossing her legs over my shoulders, I settle in to feast on her core. Soon she’s trying to squeeze me out as she lifts her hips and balances on her toes.
Tonight was a good night. We need more of these.
Chapter 55
Take Care of It
Jace
A month later…
Things are going well, but to sit here and listen to Gio tell Dante—There are always several ways to handle a situation. If a man wants something that’s already his, he should go after it—I couldn’t help but snort.
When will he get that Dante and Dario are so much like him? He’s talking to himself. Although I understand Dante’s reluctance.
Without looking back at me, Gio says, “When did I ask you anything?” I have to stifle my laughter. He knows what I’m thinking. “We leave in five. Go handle the chef.”
I grunt but get up to leave. Gio already mentioned getting rid of Jacob, removing him from the equation involving Lizzy. I stroll out of the office and head for Ny’s desk. She’s happier here now that she spends more time with Lizzy. For about two months, she’s been having lunch with her sister when she can and helping Lizzy out, even though Lizzy is efficient in her job.
“Hey, you, what’s up?” Ny sings as soon as she lifts her head. I love the smile on her face.
“G needs you to make that move. The chef is out.”
She nods. “Okay, but let him know if my sister gets hurt, I’m kicking his ass,” she whispers.
I wink at her. “I don’t think she’s that into him.”
“Honestly, neither do I. That’s why I’m going to do this.”
Nyla
It’s after work and Jace and I have been sitting in the bedroom preparing receipts for what I have planned for Jacob. I had to call Lizzy one last time to make sure she doesn’t like this guy.
We’ve been talking as I feel her out. Lizzy doesn’t date a lot, the last thing I want is for her to be closed off after this. If she’s not willing to date, Dante really doesn’t matter, no matter what Gio wants.
“So you’re not into Jacob, then?” I say.
“He seems to think we’re in a relationship. I don’t want to hurt his feelings, he’s a nice guy, but I want to take a step back. This was never what I wanted,” she says.
“I love you. You’re too nice for your own good. Listen, I have something I need to handle. Can I call you back?”
“Sure, no problem. You’re still jumping on with me, right?”
“Yeah, I’ll be there. I’ll message you when I’m ready.”
“Cool.”
I hang up and work on finishing the forum that will make Jacob look like a troll. I have to look away from the garbage I’m posting about my sister. It’s actually some shit someone else posted, I’m just using it to frame Jacob tonight.
I keep chanting in my head that this is for the best. Time ticks by as I work. I glance at the time, Jace needs to leave soon to meet up with Gio and Dante.
I look to him as he lies across the bed in front of me. I heave a heavy breath. Rolling my head on my shoulders to loosen the tension, I then log on to my sister’s channel. She’s live.
“You ready to do this?” I breathe.
“You don’t have to. I can do it.”
“No, I know my sister. You just handle the chat. I’ll do the rest. Let’s go, Gio is waiting for you.”
“I’m logged in,” he says.
“I am too. I’m Shield underscore 44.”
“I’m The underscore Dane underscore 2,” he murmurs with his attention on his tablet.
I grin at the name. Uncle Emil would be proud to know how much Jace has followed in his footsteps. I start to type, giving Jace his opening.
Shield_44: You’re always beautiful.
Jacob_eats: She is.
“There he is,” Jace says.
“I see him. Go in.”
The_Dane_2: You guys make me sick. You always suck up and tell her she’s beautiful on here. Why not tell her all the shit you guys say in the forum? @Shield_44 and @Jacob_eats I see you. I’ve seen your comments.
My heart aches as I look up at Jace. He’s watching me closely. Placing the tablet aside, he moves to climb behind me, wrapping me in his arms.
