down as the three of them looked over the details of the land deal. It was a huge venture for them, and Alex was one of the investors as well as their attorney. None of them noticed Ami and Jada walk in the door.
“Ami, this place is great. I can’t believe how busy it is,” Jada said in amazement. “It’s the middle of the week.”
“Oh, it’s always like this at this time of the day,” Ami said, totally unfazed by the business of the restaurant. The Love House was growing in popularity everyday.
“Hi, Ms. Ami,” Lisa said, coming over to them. She gave Ami a warm hug. “It’s great to see you. I hear you landed a great new role.”
“Hey, Lisa. Great to see you, too. Yeah, we start shooting in a few months. I’m very excited. This is my friend, Jada Whitman, we work together.”
“Nice to meet you, Lisa,” Jada said as she extended her hand.
“You, too, Jada,” Lisa replied as she shook her hand. “Your cousins are at the family table if you want to go back, or do you want to sit among the people? I’m sure I can find you a table.”
“Oh, no, Lisa, these are paying customers. We’ll go to the family table,” Ami said with a smile as she headed toward the back of the main dining room.
“The boys must be talking business,” Ami said to Jada as they approached the table.
Alex felt a sudden change in the air around him. It became charged and electrified. He had been totally absorbed in the paperwork he was reviewing, but knew that Jada had entered the room. Even among all the cooking and other people in the room, her scent reached him above anything else. He grinned, but never looked up.
“Gentlemen,” Ami started, “What’s going on?”
Again, Jada felt the energy that still lingered between her and Alex. She instantly remembered the feel of his lips on hers, and her knees slowly started to turn to jelly. She casually held onto the nearest chair because she was suddenly aware that her knees may not hold her up.
“Oh, hey, Ami, hey, Jada,” Chris said, standing to greet the ladies. “You ladies come for dinner?” He walked around to kiss both ladies on the cheek.
“Yep! I told Jada, there was no way she could return to the west coast without Ty’s cooking. Ty, are you cooking tonight or what?” Ami replied with a bright smile.
Ty had been watching Alex and noticed the look of sheer pleasure on his face. Also standing, He cheerfully replied, “Of course I’ll cook for my family, and that includes you, too, Jada.”
Alex glanced up at Ty, trying to hide a grin.
“Ladies,” Alex said as he stood for them, finally acknowledging their presence.
“Alex, please with all the formalities, just move over,” Ami said.
The ladies took a seat as Ty turned to head to the kitchen. “Can I cook whatever I want?” he asked.
“Sure, Ty, surprise us,” Ami answered.
“Listen, guys, a jazz band is coming in about thirty minutes. I’ve got to run to the office, put this stuff away, and I’ll be right back,” Chris said, gathering the paperwork that had been spread across the table.
“And, I’ve got to run to the ladies room,” Ami announced, already snatching her clutch purse from the chair.
Within seconds, Alex and Jada were alone at the table. He was staring at her, smiling again. “Jada, how are you today?” He asked in a voice dripping in sensuality.
“I’m good, Alex,” She said, absently playing with her bracelet. His smile was making her heart race and heat flood to the sensitive area between her legs. She could vividly imagine his hands caressing her there and worshiping her entire body. She took a sip from a random glass of water sitting on the table to attempt to cool her raging thoughts.
“Have you and Ami been good girls today?” He said, moving a little closer, allowing the warmth from his body to reach out and touch her.
“Oh, we’ve just been out to the King of Prussia Mall all day. We just got back. We haven’t even been to the hotel yet. We came
