Leah's Seduction: 6 (Gianni and Leah - Leah's Seduction) by Emily Jane Trent Page A

bodyguard take her. “I don’t think Vadim is going to come after me,” she said.
    Roston looked at her in the mirror. “I doubt he will.” He signaled to change lanes.
    “I see you watching me, more intently than before.”
    With a little smile, her guard said, “You mean a lot to Gianni. It’s my job to make sure you are safe when he’s not around.”
    Leah had no argument for that. “Thanks, Roston.”
    “My pleasure.”
    Kyra was already inside when Leah arrived. They chatted while they dressed for class, but Leah saved the big news for afterward. It was a good workout, and once it was over they decided to have lunch.
    In a small café that served salads Kyra liked, they settled into a booth. “You aren’t often free in the middle of the day,” she said. “What’s up?”
    “I’m between jobs.”
    Kyra looked at her intently. “Because?”
    Leah told her the whole story, skipping no detail, and watching her friend’s expression throughout. She hadn’t wanted to tell her over the phone, and had waited for an opportunity in person.
    “So that is what was going on,” Kyra said. “That day I showed the pictures of you and Gianni on social media. You were all mysterious, and didn’t want to tell me what was going on. I knew it had to do with your job, or Vadim.”
    “Yes. I didn’t want to get you involved.”
    “I take it that it’s safe now?”
    Leah nodded. “I think so. I don’t think Vadim or Mason want to mess with GR anymore. They got kind of roughed up.”
    Kyra laughed. “That is amazing what you did to Vadim.”
    “You just never know what you’ll think of under pressure,” Leah said. “I had to act. There was no time. I was lucky it worked.”
    “You were.” Kyra wrinkled her brow. “So what are you going to do now?”
    “Sending out more résumés,” Leah said. “You don’t have any other leads for me, do you?”
    Kyra frowned. “Well, I better stay out of it, since I was the one who turned you on to Barrington.” She grimaced. “And look how that worked out.”
    Leah laughed. “That had nothing to do with you. There’s no way you could have known what weasels they were.”
    “If anyone should have been able to spot a weasel it should be me.”
    Leah smiled. “Not all men are weasels.”
    “I didn’t say that.” Kyra forked a bite of salad. “But I am getting better at spotting them. Now all I need is to meet some great guy like Gianni. He doesn’t have any brothers, does he?”
    Leah nodded. “Actually, he has several. His youngest brother Micah is kind of wild, I’ve heard.”
    Kyra put her hand up. “Okay, he’s out. I can’t do wild .”
    “There’s Jacob, who is a year younger than Gianni.”
    Kyra widened her eyes.
    “But he is with Vivienne, and it looks like a lasting relationship.”
    “Two down. Any others?”
    “The middle brother, Stephano. But I haven’t met him,” Leah said. “He is a fashion photographer, and he’s out of the country a lot.”
    Kyra sipped her tea. “That makes it difficult. But you never know. I’ll see what I can pry out of Daniela.”
    Leah laughed. “Okay, you do that.”
    *****
    The next few days, Leah was diligent about sending out résumés. She even went to the design school where she had graduated to see if there were any job postings. But it looked like finding a job in her field wasn’t going to be easy.
    She was searching online for employment agencies when Gianni called.
    “You’re just in time.”
    “I am?” he said. “For what?”
    “To rescue me from job hunting.”
    “Yes, I hear you’ve been doing a lot of that.”
    “From Roston?”
    “Yes, he has been keeping me updated.”
    “It’s not really that exciting.”
    “What would you say to dinner?”
    Leah hugged the phone to her ear. “Yes. I’ve love it.”
    “Great. I have reservations at The River Café. Dawson will drive, so we will be by at five. I’ll give Roston some time off.”
    She giggled. “I’m sure he could use it
