Ariana tottered across the parking garage. She kept staggering from one side to the other. The twins took turns catching her, straightening her up, and helping her to the car.

Dominic opened the passenger door, and she dove headfirst inside. I followed to find her sprawled across one seat. I sat down on the opposite side.

The twins climbed in and sat her up before they resumed their places on either side of her. She folded over, wrapped her arms around Dante’s ribs, buried her face in his chest, and shut her eyes. Her hair came loose from its up-do and scattered over her cheeks. Anyone could see she was out for the night.

“Do you mind telling me what possible reason you could have for disobeying my orders when I specifically told you to stay at the table?” I snarled. “Give me one reason not to bust you two down to clean-up duty for the rest of the decade.”

Dominic stiffened. “What’s the point of taking her to a club if she’s just gonna sit at a table and do nothing?”

“I already told you,” I snapped. “We were there to show her off to the world and make the families think I was dating her. When are you two gonna stop fucking up and listen to me? I gave you a direct order. What’s so difficult to understand about that?”

“You can’t treat her like any floozy you picked up on the street,” Dante countered. “She’s different. You can’t keep her locked up and expect her to just lick your boots and do your bidding. She has a mind of her own. She wanted to dance, and she wanted to drink. What were we supposed to do—hogtie her to the ground in front of the whole club?”

I rounded on him more in shock than anger. That must be the longest speech Dante Luciano ever made in his life, and it was definitely the first time in history he ever stood up to me.

I got ready to rain fire and brimstone on his disobedient head, but the sight of Ariana curled up on his chest stopped me. These weren’t any ordinary foot soldiers I could order around. These were my cousins, and they cared about Ariana as much as I did—maybe more.

Ariana would never cuddle up to me like that. She must be starting to soften to the twins. She would never soften with me.

I gritted my teeth. How dare they steal her from me? How dare they come between me and her like this? I had only myself to blame for that, but I had to take out my turmoil on someone.

“I gave you one job. If she wanted to dance, you should have waited until I came back.”

“We did wait,” Dominic argued. “We had no way of knowing how long you would be. You could have been gone all night. What were we supposed to think?”

“Don’t give me that shit!” I spat. “You could have gotten into a knock-down, drag-out fight with fifteen guys on that dance floor, and she would have been caught in the middle of it.
