thoughts turned to Kayden and what it would be like to kiss him. Sighing loudly, Zoey got up and held her hand down for Johnny.
Johnny kept holding her hand as he got off the floor, then leaned over, and kissed her hand.
“It has never hurt so good before, Zoey. I’ll wait in the living room until you are dressed for dinner.” Zoey glanced at her watch and saw it was already one in the morning.
“It’s one in the morning. I was only going to take a nap. I never meant to sleep that long,” Zoey explained.
“You looked so peaceful. I didn’t have the heart to wake you up until you started moaning in your sleep, and that, my dear, I could listen to forever, but in a different position. Instead, I was sitting on the couch waiting by myself having all kinds of dirty thoughts,” Johnny teased, wiggling his eyebrows up and down.
Zoey giggled. “I love your laugh. You should do it more often, beautiful.” Johnny turned around, walked out of the room, and shut the door, allowing Zoey to have some privacy.
Her thoughts turned to Kayden as she looked at herself in the mirror. “Why can’t you talk to me like that?” Zoey whispered to the mirror. She wondered what he was doing now. He was probably playing poker at Ryder’s house.
Chapter 5
London and Donnie held their cards close to their chests and smiled at each other.
“It’s not fair if you two are helping each other win, because that has to be what you two are doing. You have won almost all the hands,” Nolan grumbled.
Putting her hand on Nolan, London teased, “Don’t be a spoilsport, Nolan. Zoey taught me how to play when we were in school, then I taught Donnie how to play. So blame Zoey for doing such a great job,” London replied with a smirk.
“Where is Zoey? She should be here to even things out,” Nolan asked.
“She is on a work trip in…” London stopped midsentence before she gave Zoey’s location away.
Everyone including her watched as Kayden scooted forward in his chair. He was very antsy. Every ten minutes he would look at the door. London knew that would get his attention when she didn’t give Zoey’s location away.
“Where is she?” Nolan asked again.
“On a work trip. She is meeting a potential new client that needs a video game turned into a virtual reality system. He already sent me the designs he wants to use for it, and Zoey is doing what she does best by closing the deal,” London added. She glanced up to see if Kayden was paying attention, and he was. Score, London thought.
“Who is the guy?” Nolan asked.
London looked over at Ryder. She loved this man because he knew what she was trying to accomplish.
“Johnny Ringo.” Ryder answered this time. London watched as Kayden’s head jerked up. She wanted to laugh at Kayden. He looked like his head was going to spin around.
“Johnny Ringo. You let her go talk to Johnny Ringo by herself? What the hell are you thinking, Ryder?” Kayden asked.
“What? I like Ringo. He is a good Alpha and from the messages he has sent me already, he likes Zoey,” Ryder answered sharply.
“Ringo is a…a,” Kayden couldn’t get out what he wanted to say.
London wanted to laugh but held it in as Kayden took the bait. “What the hell is wrong with you, Kayden? The other night you bitched because Zoey’s skirt was too short, and everybody was drooling over her. Now you’re telling me Johnny Ringo isn’t a good guy. You know he is, and if he is interested in my sister, then I’m all for it. She deserves someone who is actually interested in her and wants to make her happy for a change. You of all people should know how bad it was for her growing up, and if Johnny Ringo wants to shower her with gifts then I’m stepping back and allowing it.” Kayden didn’t know how to answer Ryder. He looked like a fish out of water when his mouth began opening and closing. London almost felt sorry for the guy but not enough to stop what she was planning. If he didn’t get off his
