said, resigned.
“Did you not call me earlier telling me she gave you her sweet, virgin pussy? She’s yours.” Nikolai reminded him.
Sergei got his shit together. “I have to go get her. Damn, I have to see when the next flight leaves for Texas.”
“Sorry man, there isn’t one until tomorrow.”
“So why couldn’t you have told me sooner why she was after us about Santini?” Sergei blamed his friend.
Nikolai said, “Well, you ungrateful shit, Bianca and Amber decided to help with the reorganization of her place, and they found the file on the floor scattered under the dresser.”
“Are you serious?” Now Sergei wanted to really kick his own ass. He had the information right in his face, but he’d been too full of jealousy to really examine it.
“Yes, I’m serious. The girls thought it was best if they go and pick up Lana from the airport. I only agreed because I’m trying to help you.”
“You’re letting two pregnant women drive to go pick up my nutty, stubborn woman?” He didn’t believe Nikolai would let Bianca go alone.
“Yes, I let them, but Luciano will be riding in front with the driver.”
“Great. I hope the girls could fix my fuck-up. If anybody can, it would be those two,” Sergei said with a sigh of relief.
“Yeah, let’s hope. I booked you a flight at eight a.m., so get your ass ready and to the airport early.”
“Thanks, Niko.”
“No need, bro. You’ve been there for me for so long, and if it wasn’t for me and Luciano, she wouldn’t have been looking for Santini.” Nikolai and Luciano were the ones that had dealt with Santini, but Sergei still had a hand in it.
Fate had brought her to him right after they got rid of Santini, luckily. “No, she still would, but she would have found him and a shit load of trouble.”
“That’s no joke. Santini was ruthless with those in his close circle. She must have been an outsider because I couldn’t believe that she would work with them.”
“I don’t think so, either. I’m going to go get her and make it right.” Sergei hung up and prepared for the fight of his life.
Chapter 7
“Do you think she’s going to talk to us or has Sergei blown it?” Amber asked Luciano and Bianca as they sat in the back of the limo on the way to the airport to pick up Lana.
“Amore, after all Nikolai and I put you through, do you think it’s too late for Sergei? No, she just needs you girls to steer her to the dark side.”
“Oh, we will.” Bianca laughed mechanically.
“You’re nutty, Bee,” Luciano said as he tugged Amber onto his lap.
“Yes, but let’s hope she’s as nutty as us and can’t resist a strong handsome man who is equally nutty,” Bianca added, laughing at her brother’s need to hold his wife even though he was already sitting close to her before.
“That sounds about right,” Luciano replied before kissing his wife deeply.
They arrived at the airport just as Luna’s flight landed.
“I’ll be right back, ladies.” He gave his wife one more kiss and a squeeze before sitting her back on the seat and sliding out the limo. Luciano went inside to go get Lana, hoping she didn’t try to make a run for it. He only had to wait a few minutes for her to exit the plane. Luciano spotted her and could tell instantly that she had been crying. She must care for Sergei very much. It might not be as hard as she wanted.
Luciano didn’t grab on to her, but he did tap her shoulder to get her attention. “Detective Grey, I’m here to give you a ride back to your residence.”
“Are you really? Or are you here to take me somewhere and off me?” She gave him a look that said “fuck off.” He just let it slide off his shoulders before letting her know the situation.
“First, I am a lawful citizen, now. I own my own corporation and work hard for my family. Second, I was just trying to be polite. I could let your ass figure out a way to get home with no money or identification.”
“You sound like a total
