Chapter Twenty-Two—A lot to like
Jake
Mixed feminine chuckles welcomed me into the house.I headed to the family room where Bianc and Cam were on the sectional with their arms round each other’s and their heads thrown back in laughter.On the other corner of the couch, Sienna was giggling with her forehead nestled in the crook of Sile’s neck and her hand on his chest.
Bianca whipped her head up.“Jake!”
Jumping to her feet, she ran the short distance between us with her arms wide open.I caught her flying body against my chest and kissed her cheek.“Hey, trouble.”
Back on her feet, she clamped her hands around my face.“My Jake.I missed you, babe.”
Cam got up and started toward the hallway.“We’ve been waiting for you for dinner.Let’s go.”
“Cam, you good?”
Smiling over her shoulder, she nodded.“Bianca cooked.”
Bianc shifted to my side.“I’ve met Sienna.She’s quite wonderful, Jake.”
“Yes, she is.”
Sienna’s face flushed.She leaned into Sile, who got up and pulled her to her feet.Once in the kitchen where the table had been set, Bianc took Sienna’s hand and sat her beside her.Sile and Cam were across from them while I grabbed the chair at the head of the table.
Near the end of the meal, after catching us up on her jet-setting life, Bianc turned to Sienna.
“Cara, how many forlorn hearts have you left behind when you came here to hide from
the world?”
Sienna bit on her bottom lip and dipped her chin in her neck.“None.”
Bianc rolled her eyes.“Dio!Are the men blind to beauty here?”
“Some,” Sile muttered.
I contained my urge to flip him off amidst the women’s chuckles.
“Not a single one?”Cam asked.When Sienna shook her head, she winked.“You’ve probably been oblivious to it, Sia.”
