“But the alliance stands if it was Rowan too, I’d assume.”
Fuck. He might have a point.
“Have you got a location for The Crow yet?”
Drago chuckles and shakes his head.
“Keep avoiding it, it’ll send you crazy.” He hits the side of his head.
“Yes. Well, sort of. I’m arranging a meeting with Hunter Sterling in Phoenix. Enzo gave me his details.”
“Cool. Keep me posted. And don’t forget Lily’s art gallery, it’s a few weeks away. We’re on security detail.”
His face straightens.
“I’ll check the dates. I might not be able to. I gotta send in some of you for her birthday party this weekend too. I’ll keep you posted.”
Great. A party to watch. Just what I need.

BELLA
I nearly kissed my fiancé’s brother.
And nothing has ever felt so right in my entire life. The way he was eating me up with his eyes melted me.
I finish up paying for the dress with Reggie’s card and Rowan shoves it in the trunk of his Range Rover.
“Where to next, ladies?” he says with a boyish grin.
And then he pulls out a black baseball cap and puts it on backwards, and my legs nearly buckle.
“Oops. My heel got stuck on the pavement,” I giggle, grasping onto Lily’s forearm.
“I’ve got no plans for the day. Shall we grab a cocktail?” she asks.
“I’ve got no plans for the rest of my life. So count me in.” I look to Rowan.
“You in, rockstar? Karaoke? Me and you? Battle it out?”
He chuckles as he opens up the passenger door for me, helping me in. His hand brushes over my ass and pauses, just for a second, but it’s enough to burn me.
“I can’t drink because I’m on bodyguard duties.” He grabs the seatbelt and pulls it over me, leaning in as it clicks.
“But bet your fine ass I’ll sing my heart out for ya.” He winks and shuts the door.
“Holy shit, Bella! The chemistry. Are you sure you don’t want me to go home?”
My cheeks heat.
“No. Please don’t go.” I pout. “I’ve enjoyed getting to know you, I’d love to have a friend here.”
She smiles.
“Of course. Me too. I’m having a party for my birthday on Saturday if you’d like to come.”
“Absolutely yes!”
