use some peace too.” He tucked the strands behind her ears and gave it a gentle tug. “I’ll probably bring them by here for dinner tomorrow. Will you be working?” he asked looking into her eyes.
    “Yep I’ll be here, you want me to wait on you and your friends hand and foot don’t you?” she asked with a playful smile.
    He smirked. “You know it, love. So make sure you wear that sexy smile of yours while you serve us. I’m going to need you to be in good spirits,” he said playfully. His eyes dropped down to her outfit and he smiled and licked his lips. “I’ll need you to wear those shorts too. They make me remember why I love summer so much.”
    Carter looked away and shyly hit his arm. “You’re such a pig. Go, I’ll see you tomorrow,” she said while turning around to go back in the bar.
    Kyle grabbed her shoulders leaned forward, kissed her cheek, and gave her behind a quick smack. “See you soon, baby,” he whispered in her ear. He kissed her on the cheek. “Come by my place tonight. I’m going to need some of your encouraging cuddles before my bastard friends come here tomorrow.” As if he already knew she’d agree to come to his place, he turned and began walking down the side walk toward the parking lot.
    Carter chuckled. She really missed him, and she hoped he really would be around for a while. She was kind of nervous about meeting his friends tomorrow, but she was a pro at interacting with people. She just hoped they were as great as Kyle.

Battle in Brooklyn
    Nathan was awakened by the sound of his cell phone. He turned to look at the clock on the night stand, it was 4 AM, and he frowned trying to figure out who the hell would call him so early. He looked at the name on the screen and groaned. He really couldn’t handle anymore surprise meetings or trips.
    Letting out a grunt of frustration he put the phone to his ear. “Papa, why must you call me so early? You are aware that my flight just got in yesterday, right?”
    He could hear his father’s chuckle over the phone. “Ahh, yes, young people and their sleep. Do you not want to see the sun rise over the Hudson from that beautiful view of yours son?” His father said, referring to the Hudson River view in Nathan’s penthouse apartment in Manhattan. Nathan looked around remembering that he was not in his apartment.
    “No, I’m fine. I’d rather sleep, something I haven’t really done in months,” Nathan replied while sitting up in the bed, running his fingers through his hair.
    He heard his father chuckle again. What the hell was so funny? “Well no time for sleep, my boy. I’m actually on my way to board my plane. I’m heading off to Russia and then Italy for some business.”
    Russia? What does he have to do in Russia?
Nathan thought
.
    “So, why are you calling me?” Nathan asked, hoping his father didn’t want him to join him on the trip. He knew that Nathan took off for a while every year around this time.
    “I know you don’t like to be bothered around this time of year since…”
    “Just get to the point of why you called, Papa,” Nathan said cutting off his father’s statement.
    His father let out a deep chuckle. “Nathan, my boy, be happy you’re my son. You’re the only man I let cut me off when I’m speaking and live. I need you to do something for me before you pull that little disappearing act you do.”
    Asshole
, Nathan thought. “I just got back to the states yesterday, and you’re trying to send me away again?”
    “Not out of the country son,” his father sighed. “Are you alone?”
    Nathan looked behind him at the woman lying next to him in bed. He didn’t want to get fully out of bed so he decided he would put up a language barrier. “
Go ahead, she won’t understand what I’m saying
,” he said in Italian.
    “I need you to go to Brooklyn. Andrew Reeves seems to have forgotten some of the terms of our agreement, and I need you to go remind him in the most painful way
