She widened her eyes. “Why would I do that?”
“So you don’t feel rushed, pressured, or whatever you’re feeling.”
She smirked. “That makes no sense at all, unless you guys don’t want me leaving my personal items around your room. You know, like panties, bras. I have a lot of sexy undergarments. I collect them.”
He ran his hands along her hips and gave them a squeeze. “You can bring them and leave them anywhere you want. You won’t be wearing them, though. Except for work,” he scolded and squeezed her ass. She chuckled and hugged him tight. He ran his hands up her bare back and she heard the door open and then close.
“What’s this? I sure as shit didn’t get to cuddle with her. She told me we needed to get back out there so we could mingle and socialize,” Salvatore said and she chuckled against Finn’s chest.
“I have more patience than all of you, and it paid off,” Finn said. Salvatore pulled off his tie and sat down on the couch next to Finn. He held her gaze and she smiled at him.
“You look like a woman well loved.” He traced her chin and cheek and she reached out and slid her fingers between his, then brought them to her lips. She kissed his knuckles and Salvatore’s eyes squinted at her.
“Well, that was a successful evening,” Billy stated, joining them in the office. She lifted up and Salvatore released her hand. Billy placed a bottle of champagne down onto the desk along with some glasses. He then walked closer to Missy Ann and ran his hands along her shoulders. She tilted her head up to look at him and he smiled. “You were amazing, both out there and in here.” He covered her lips and kissed her. She felt her cheeks warm. She had enjoyed making her men wild and being whisked off to the office to be scolded and well loved.
“Where’s Antonio?” she asked him when he released her lips.
“He’s talking to Keith and Kurt.”
“Oh, I should go out there, too,” she said and lifted up off of Finn’s lap.
Billy pulled her close, wrapped his arms around her waist, and kept a palm over her ass. “You don’t need to go out there.” He kissed her neck and she ran her hands along his hips and up his dress shirt.
“I’m the manager, too,” she said to him.
He licked her neck and tugged on her ear. “You’re our lover, our woman first.” He squeezed her ass and then caressed it.
She chuckled.
“I need to go out there.” She stepped from his hold and slid her hands down her dress. She then walked to the small mirror and checked her makeup. Boy, did she have great coloring right now. She reached for her bag and took out the small bottle of perfume and sprayed herself. She added a little lip gloss to her lips and adjusted her breasts and then when she thought she looked presentable and like she wasn’t in the back office having sex most of the night, she turned around.
They were all staring at her, looking hungry.
The door opened and Antonio walked into the room smiling. “There you are.” He pulled her into his arms, dipped her low, and kissed her. She held on to him, afraid he might drop her but he held her tight. When he lifted her back up he kept a hand around her waist. “Open the champagne. It’s time to celebrate,” he said and Billy popped the cork, making her jump, and began to pour them all a glass of champagne.
“What about Keith and Karl? Don’t they need help?
“They got it covered, baby. You worked your ass off all night.” He gave it a tap and his brothers chuckled. Her cheeks blushed.
“You were incredible. You handled any little glitches and problem, you schmoozed the guests, and the compliments and reviews should be amazing,” he added.
They made a toast and then took a sip of their glasses. “Plus she worked her ma
gic on that local restaurant review reporter, Herbert. That guy was like putty in your hands,” Billy said and swallowed down the rest of the champagne before pouring more into his glass. She could feel their excitement.
“He’s a nice man. I gave him a private tour last week and even let him try some of our signature appetizers. He said no one ever let him do anything like that. A behind-the-scenes look.”
Billy cupped her cheeks and leaned closer. “Smart and beautiful.” He kissed her lips. They were so excited and so happy. She loved it and was happy for them.
Then Finn’s cell phone buzzed. He glanced at it and then looked at Salvatore. “I’ll be back in a minute,” Finn said but Salvatore followed him. She didn’t miss the concerned expressions on Billy and Antonio’s faces. Her gut clenched.
“What’s going on?” she asked.
“Probably work related,” Billy said to her but didn’t keep eye contact. She knew he was lying.
“Come on. We should wrap things up and head home,” Antonio said to her and kissed her deeply as he ran his hands all over her body. She couldn’t think of anything, not even trying to say that she should stay at her place tonight. It wasn’t worth the fight, and it seemed as they continued to break down her defenses she would submit and move in with them. Probably before the end of the week.
