Fall For My Ex's Mafia Father novel Chapter 102

“Ah, come on,” he says, wrinkling his nose at me. “Let someone else exercise your horse today. Hang out with me instead.”

“Seriously?” I say, tilting my head as I look at him. “You think that if you block the path towards the thing that I actually want to do, I’ll just cave and go out with you?”

He gives me a naughty little smirk then. “Never failed me before.”

I can’t help myself. I laugh. “Wait, so you’ve done this before? Just blocked the road until the girl you like goes out with you?”

“Well,” he says, giving a shrug. “If someone is being a cock block, then I’ve got to pull the road block.”

“What do you mean?” I ask, suddenly curious. “Who is cock blocking you?”

“Your new daddy-in-law,” he says, leaning forward and grinning at me. “I’ve been trying to get in touch with you for days. But Lippert is blocking all my calls. My messages. All those poor carrier pigeons,” he shakes his head in regret, “dead, for nothing but his pride.”

“Really?” I ask, surprised. “You’ve…been trying to call me?”

“Why are you surprised at that?” he asks, smooth. “You’re a gorgeous girl. And, well. At the beach I thought we had sort of…a connection. Or whatever.”

I let him see my little smile this time. “A connection? Or whatever?”

“Whatever,” he says, leaning forward further so that his eyes are even with mine, looking at me intensely. “Whatever you want, Fay Alden.”

I can’t help myself, then. The little butterflies that flutter around in my stomach make the decision for me.

“Fine,” I say, taking three steps forward to join him at his side. “You’d better drive fast, though,” I say, nodding back to Jerome in the black car behind me. “Because he’s definitely going to shoot you if you don’t.”
