Toni gives my hand a gentle squeeze.

I change the subject. “I’m going to ask him to fill me in on what happened, then I’m going for lunch with some old high school friends.”

“Including Toby?” She waggles her eyebrows at me.

“Did Dante tell you about him too?”

“Maybe,” she says with a knowing smile. “So…?”

“Nothing, really. We’re friends, that’s all. I think he’d like to be something more but…”

“But little Joey Moretti’s in love with someone else.” She winks.

I blink at her. “W-what?”

She stands up, ignoring my question. “I need to take a shower. Catch you later, kid.” She walks out of the gym, leaving me to stare after her and wonder what the hell she meant by that.

“You sure everything’s okay? You seem kind of distracted lately.” Dante says as we walk down the hallway toward his study.

Distracted? That’s a fucking understatement and a half. “Me? No. Everything’s good, compagno.”

Everything isnotgood. I’m lying to his face. I need to speak to him about Vito, but the time never seems quite right. Finding out I have a sister and her showing up and telling me her father went missing, probably over some video recording, is the biggest secret I’ve ever kept from him.

Until Joey.

It’s been two long and torturous days since I allowed her to suck my cock right here in his house. I’ve done my best to avoid her ever since, but I miss her like hell.

He arches an eyebrow. “You met someone?”

“Fuck, no,” I snap. And right at that moment,someoneturns down the hallway and comes face-to-face with the two of us.

“Hey, guys,” she says with a flutter of her eyelashes. Her hair is pulled back into a ponytail and sweat glistens on her abs. She’s wearing those tight-as-fuck yoga pants that cling to every single inch of her perfect fucking body, but that’s not the most distracting thing about her today. My eyes drop to her t-shirt, which she has tied up in a knot so that her tan, taut stomach is still on display. The shirt has two words emblazoned across the front, stretched across her beautiful tits.Tap Out.

Girl is going to fucking kill me.

My jaw ticks as I grind my teeth together and will my cock to stop twitching in my pants.

“How was your workout?” her older brother asks.

“Great.” She gives him a huge smile. “Toni issucha great trainer. She’s amazing. Really knows how to get the best from me, you know?”Brat!

“No need to lay it on so thick, kid. She isn’t standing behind you,” Dante teases her.

Joey rolls her eyes and avoids my gaze. “Are you going over the new casino deal?”

“Yeah.”

How does she know about the new casino deal?

“Cool. Can I sit in?” she asks.

“You want to grab a shower first?”

She wrinkles her nose before looking down and assessing her clothing. I can’t help doing the same. I want to rip them off her and fuck her until she begs me to stop.
