Journey To Fortune

“I already have a bedroom here with you guys,” she said to them. Falco smiled.

“So you’re moving in here with us?”

“I haven’t slept anywhere else since you seduced me into bed the other night.”

Rome squeezed her ass hard.

“Ouch.”

“Who was doing the seducing?” he asked and winked.

She smiled and hugged him as she reached out and cupped Falco’s cheek.

“There’s no place else I’d rather be than living with the six of you and loving you every chance I can get.”

She heard their exhales of relief and each of them gave her a kiss goodnight to leave her with Rome and Falco in bed. Everything was going perfectly, and she couldn’t wait to see what tomorrow brought.

Chapter 11

The week had passed and Mercury, Slade, and Falco just met with Roger Hiatte to finalize the security detail and delivery of goods from one area in Connecticut to South Carolina and a private warehouse. They were going to pick up Rose and bring her to a meeting with Mulgoff Lenotz about a gallery show. He was glad that she trusted them and asked for their support and guidance in case there was some sort of contract Mulgoff wrote up.

“I wish there was some way we could be the ones to showcase a gallery event for her instead of Mulgoff,” Slade said to his brothers.

“I know, but we don’t have the connections like that. Mulgoff showed five of her paintings and look what happened. This is her dream. We can be here for her, support her, and protect her,” Falco added.

As they arrived back at the house Rome, Rylan, and Remo were in the kitchen and Rose wasn’t around.

“Where’s Rose?” Falco asked.

“She is painting in the cottage and we aren’t allowed to see,” Rome told them.

“Why not?” Mercury asked.

“Don’t know. I think it’s because Rylan pissed her off this morning with the self-defense training,” Remo said to them.

“I didn’t piss her off.”

“She was doing pretty good. Pulled a move that Slade taught her the other day and Rylan got pissed at the cheap shot and gripped her wrists and turned it into a make-out session. She was stripped and naked in seconds,” Remo said to them.

Rome chuckled. “She is not a fighter. I mean we’ve all tried showing her different things but she’s just too sweet. She won’t even let me show her how to use the gun yet,” Rome said to them.

“She is going to have to learn a few things, plus use a gun. I’ll talk to her on the way to Mulgoff’s place,” Mercury said.

“We should check on her and let her know the time. She’s probably caught up in whatever she’s working on,” Remo said to them.

“I’ll go get her,” Slade said and headed out the door to the cottage.

“So how did the meeting go? Get any feeling toward this shit?” Rome asked Mercury.

“Something is up. The details aren’t crisp. We know this and Vaughn and the guys pulling things on their end. We’ll do our part and see this through but we have to be super diligent in security. We need to make a plan to take those goods to a different location without Hiatte or anyone else knowing it. That’s where Nicolai will come in,” Mercury said to them.

“I don’t fucking like this. I wish we could drop the job entirely. We know that it’s more than likely Molokai who is trying to destroy our company,” Rylan stated.

“We don’t have definite proof, but the best thing to do is to show them we have better connections and we can be just as damn sneaky.”

A few minutes later Slade came inside with Rose. Mercury locked gazes with her. She wore a pair of slim fitting black dress pants, black boots and a light green sweater that showed off her eyes. Her makeup was light but appealing. She looked classy and sexy.

“How was your meeting?” she asked Mercury and them.

“It was okay. Are you set for this meeting with Mulgoff?” Falco asked her.

“I’m a little nervous, but excited. Do you think he liked the paintings we sent over from the warehouse?” she asked. Mercury and the others spent an hour trying to decide which ones to send. All of her work was amazing.
