Chapter Two

Maddox held the door for Toni and they stepped into the restaurant’s kitchen He was so ianized it was Dos Hermanos was one of the busiest restaurants in Dallas, but knowing how Miguel and Roberto ran things, he was not surprised that the kitchen was pristine, like brand-new

Toni walked in front of hi his eyes to enjoy an unfettered view of her backside And what a backside The slight swing of her hips back and forth called to his pri about her he didn’t like She was perfect She was gorgeous And she was like no other woman he’d ever met before

He loved her long dark hair, blue eyes, perfect curves, and sassy personality No one could ever get anything over on her She had an answer for everything with her funny responses that h Her sassiness wasn’t mean-spirited at all

Toni was also loyal He’d seen how protective she ith Cami and Izzy The three women had known each other since they were children They were like sisters He’d witnessed what that meant to Toni when she’d cornered Jay and Clay with threats of cutting off their h he’d not witnessed it hiuel concerning Cami, because they told him and Zane so

“You should have seen Toni with her hands on her hips, blocking us fro to let us pass until she said her piece She re, she would castrate us with a rusty knife”

They all laughed

“That girl can be scary,” Miguel said “She only let us pass after Cami said it was okay”

Zane grinned “And you tant me and Maddox to take Toni out on a date?”

“Daht we do She’s perfect for you both, and we know you like her, too,” Roberto said “Besides, she’s great Miguel and I are glad Cami has such a wonderful friend”

And Tony was just as protective about her two boys, Joel and Restin, according to Cae He and Zanemen at Izz

y, Jay, and Clay’s wedding when they were home for one of their breaks At the reception, Joel and Restin had see men, obviously due to hoell she raised them

He and Zane had been completely drawn to Toni the very first time they’d met her at Clay and Jay’s penthouse For several o on a date, but so far they’d had no luck Why does she keep turning us down? I wonder what her story is

He was fairly certain that she was attracted to hilancing at him and Zane And when their eyes did lock, the cute, shy smile that appeared on her face was another clue

But was his belief that she was interested in hi? If she was attracted to the her back?
