I tried not to get lost in those stunning blue eyes. “It has been peaceful.”
“As it should be.” David moved his gaze over my body. “I am close to outlawing these new suits that you are wearing.”
I grinned. “I do not believe you have that authority.”
“There is nothing sexier than a beautiful woman in a perfectly tailored suit.” David gave me a wicked smile.
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“You have been in my thoughts lately.”
I smirked. “And what were you thinking?”
“Very inappropriate things.” He licked his lips. “I have plans for you. Lots of them.”
I blushed.
“But. . .I will not forget the romance.”
“I like romance.”
He touched the knob with one finger. “You should.”
The silly smile returned.
“Because it is what you deserve.” David traced the knob with his finger, following the curve around its round metal surface. “On another note, have the French been bothering you?”
“No.” I quirked my brows. “Why do you ask?”
“Security told me that Louis hacked into the hotel’s system. Apparently, he was searching for your room several times.”
“My room? Several times?”
“Yes. Your room was moved three times. You had the one room that was reserved by me. Then, Emily moved you to a lower level, due to being angry with the Lion. Once Kazimir and Emily made up, the Lion put you in a new room up here.” David tapped the side of the knob. “Each time your room changed, Louis went back into the system to figure out where you were.”
What the fuck?
I tensed.
Did Giorgio have him look for me? Or did Louis want to find my room for himself? No way. It must have been due to Giorgio. Right?
David studied me. “Do you have any idea why Louis would want your room number?”
Management, Blue.
I cleared my throat. “No idea.”
“That is fine. It does not matter anyway.” David gripped the knob. “I had a conversation with Louis. He will not be looking for your room anymore.”
“Oh.” I raised my eyebrows. “What did you say?”
“Perhaps, we can discuss it later tonight. Over dinner.”
I widened my eyes.
He hit me with a sexy smile. “That is of course. . .if our favorite couple is back in their suite, enjoying the fire of their passion.”
Excitement filled me. “Let us hope.”
“Then, that is a date?”
Warmth spread across my skin. “Yes.”
“Excellent.” David opened the door. “I will give you more details soon.”
Excitement filled me.
The door shut behind him.
I spent the rest of the time, imagining what would happen during our dinner. David talked about romance, but how romantic would he be? He was part of the Brotherhood after all. Romance to most of them was a cold bottle of vodka and a new box of condoms.
But, David had spent time in Paris—the City of Love. Would there be flowers? Lit candles? Soft music? Would everyone know about our date? Or would he be able to keep it a secret?
And most important, what would I wear?
My phone vibrated, pulling me out of my daydreaming.
I pulled the phone out and checked the screen.
A text had been delivered.
I read it.
Unknown: I want to see you.
I twisted my face into confusion.
Who is this?
The phone vibrated in my hand. A new message came through.
Unknown: Can you get away?
Unknown: Perhaps, you can tell everyone that you are sick.
I typed into the phone.
Me: Who is this?
Unknown: How many admirers do you have?
This has to be Giorgio.
The next text arrived.
Unknown: Meet me on the roof.
Unknown: Then, you will see who it is.
Suddenly, the Mouse’s voice sounded from inside the suite. “I’m mad at David too!”
What is going on?
Forgetting about the texts, I stuffed my phone in my pocket.
The door jolted open.
Emily stormed out into the hallway.
Kazimir yelled at her, “Wait!”
What did the Lion do now?
I got to her side and kept my hands close to my guns.
Emily spun around and glared at him. “What?”
Barefoot, Kazimir came over. It was odd seeing him without shoes on. Even crazier, he looked sad and desperate.
David got to his side.
I quirked my brows at David.
He let out a long sigh.
I guess we will not be having dinner tonight.
Kazimir spoke, “I want to go with you.”
“And I don’t want you to come.” Emily sneered. “You are already making me give Paolo up, at least let me properly check them out.”
Oh no. Not Paolo. This will not be good.
Kazimir frowned. “I want you to be. . .okay.”
Emily rolled her eyes and stomped away. “Come on, Blue.”
Yeah. No date tonight.
Hurrying away with Emily, I kept her pace. “What happened?”
“Fucking David and Kaz thought it would be a good idea to find people to take care of Paolo.”
Oh no.
“I could just fucking kill the both of them.” Her bottom lip quivered. “Slice their fucking necks, stick my hand through the holes, and yank out their tiny black hearts.”
Oh. . .
I shook my head. “What do you want me to do?”
