to talk softly, and Eve laughed in the direction Dawn indicated, but he wasn’t interested in whatever had piqued her interest. He was only interested in Jewel and how he would make his move.
Turning in to lean against the bar, he looked to the dance floor once more, and watched the scene before him. Normally, seeing three girls all over each other, was fine by him. More than fine. He’d taken a couple of girls up to his suite before, but he didn’t like seeing that with Jewel for some unexpected reason. No. When he brought her upstairs tonight to his suite, and he had made the sudden decision to do just that, he wanted no one else in the room with him when he peeled that tight little number off of her curvy body.
It would be just the two of them when he placed his head between those thighs so he could hear her moan his name.
“Like what you see?” Dawn giggled in his ear. She must have seen the direction of his gaze. And he had found it difficult to tear his eyes away for long.
Crap! He hadn’t realized she’d turned around. He hadn’t wanted them to notice. Had hoped they would get distracted, go off and do their own thing. Reluctantly, he looked away from the sight of Jewel dancing and glanced at Dawn as she took a sip of her cocktail. It was nearly empty. He nodded quickly. He couldn’t deny it. He’d been caught red handed, ogling The Mystic sous-chef.
“Which one tonight?” asked Eve indicating with a flick of her head towards the trio in the center of the dance floor. Great! She had noticed as well.
He turned to that sister and gave her a sarcastic glare.
Eve shrugged and laughed. “What? You only come to the bar when you want to get laid,” she rolled her eyes at him. She knew her brothers’ reputations all too well. Both of them. They were usually business all of the time, unless they were at one of the nightclubs here, or at one of the other hot spots around town.
Shaking his head derisively, Joseph decided to answer her question honestly. “The one in the middle.” He grumbled low in his chest. Fuck, if they had him pegged already he might as well use them as wingmen even if he didn’t relish the idea. His was sure his mother would hear all about it, but that had never stopped him before. He was a man after all. He had needs. She never meddled in his love life. Only vague references on occasion about settling down. And Jonathan had done that. He was sure he was the next one to get the focus placed more squarely on him. But settling down wasn’t on his radar. Not yet. Not now.
Placing his nearly finished drink on the bar, he looked at each sister closely. He gave them a smirk, which had Eve laughing and Dawn looking at him quizzically. “Well, since you’ve got me all figured out you might as well give me a hand.”
“What do you need us to do?” Eve laughed while elbowing her sister.
Glad that they were willing to help, and trying not to think about what they would tell his mother, he gave them their directions. “Dawn, you get the one on the right. Eve take the girl on the left. The purple number is mine.” And without giving them time to back out, he stalked to the dance floor to claim his evening’s prize, his sisters flanking him on either side.
He heard them both giggle behind him, but they were there. And that was all he needed. An in. A distraction for Linda and Dinah so he could get Jewel to himself. If they could distract the other two woman long enough for him to make a getaway with Jewel, well, he would owe them for that big time. He got behind Jewel on the dance floor and she still hadn’t noticed as his sisters quickly maneuvered in front of him. They each took one of the other girls’ hands, and parted the threesome flawlessly. Jewel didn’t even know what hit her.

Jewel was enjoying herself immensely. It had been months since she’d gone out dancing and let her hair down. When her brothers had texted her saying they were crashing at a friend’s after
