“Here we go,” Jace says and nods out the window.
Petey’s goomar pulls up in her red BMW with a screeching halt. She jumps out, yelling and fussing. Alyona steps off the line she’s waiting on and bumps the screaming broad as she passes her.
The chick turns and gets in Alyona’s face. Wrong move. Alyona shoves her. That’s when the target spits in her face. Alyona pulls her gun and puts a bullet right between her eyes.
I can’t help the smile that comes to my lips.Well done. Petey steps out the front door right then. Alyona turns, flipping her hair and since her back is to me, I can only assume she smiles.
Petey watches after her as she takes off. Ming and Kamiko are waiting a few blocks away to pick her up. She’ll be fine. A few months ago, Nonno and I were here for him to introduce me to my mother’s officer friends.
I have lots of friends now, from New York to New Jersey. I’m well covered. When the Dollhouse is up and running, I plan to have a party for those friends to create a few insurance plans.
Nothing like a married cop caught with his pants down or a single cop soliciting sex. Nasty business there. No one sees me coming and that’s the way I like it.
“Andiamo. I made good on my promise. Now this guy needs to come through on his,” I say to Jace and step out of the SUV.
CHAPTER27
Taken Care Of
Gio
I sitat the kitchen island reading the paper and looking at the latest group of potentials Jace has for me. I don’t have my core dolls yet. I have three at most, I need twelve.
I take a sip of my coffee and look up as Ny’s heels clicking against the tiles grabs my attention. She looks fantastic in a pair of tight black jeans with a sheer black shirt. However, she has a pout on her face. I scowl and get ready to ask what’s the problem, but Jace beats me to it.
“What’s the matter? I thought you were taking your car in for service. What happened?”
She comes to stand beside me and leans her head on my shoulder. I place my hand on her lower back right above her ass.
“I did, but they started with this long list of things that need to be done. I get the car is older now. It’s not even about the money. I swear they’re only taking advantage because I’m a woman.”
I kiss her forehead.
“List the car. I’ll get you a new one in the morning. I would today, but I’m hanging with my brothers.”
I flick my wrist to check the time. Dario and Dante should be waiting for me. I tap Ny’s ass and she straightens.
“You’re really getting me a new car? I didn’t mean for you to think I wanted a new one.”
I peck her lips. “I should have gotten you a new one by now. List it. It’s no big deal.”
She gives a teary smile. “You guys spoil me. First the house, then Jace fully furnishing the place, now a new car. If I haven’t told you guys thank you, thank you so much. I mean it. You both know you don’t have to do things like this for me.”
“But we do it because we want to,” Jace says as he walks up behind her and kisses the back of her head.
Nyla looks up at him and smiles then turns back to me. “Where are you and the guys going?”
“I’m taking them skating.”
I know Ny has plans to go to the rink and I wanted to be around her. I’ve only been in town for a week and it always feels like something is off when she’s not around.
“Do you think they’ll remember me?”
I look her over. Nyla looks nothing like she did when she was fifteen. From the bob she wears now to the toned curves of her body, I wouldn’t put the two together if I didn’t know better.
“No. Besides, we’ll keep our distance. That’s important now. Outside of this house we’re strangers.”
I catch the sad look in her eyes before she covers it. I hate it, but there’s nothing I can do. This is how it has to be.
