nervous.” She said softly.
    “And?” He asked knowing that she’d felt more than that.
    “And it made me feel tingly and it made my heart pound and I couldn’t catch my breath. I’ve never felt like that before and I’m not sure if I like it.” She whispered as she glanced away from him.
    “That’s how you’re supposed you feel when a man kisses you, no matter where he kisses you. That was the first step in my strategy to win your heart.” Daniele said in a sweet voice.
    “So making me nerves and tingly is all part of your stupid strategy, how in the hell is that going to win this jaded heart of mine?” She said loudly in frustration as unshed tears filled her eyes.
    “First of all your heart is only jaded because you’ve never had a man treat you the way you should be treated and I think it’s about time you did. I know that getting to your heart won’t be easy but I didn’t expect for a minute that it would be. I plan to take down that brick wall of yours one brick at a time.” He said gazing across the room at her.
     
     
    Chapter Two
     
    Toni stood under the spray of the shower as her thoughts ran rampant through her mind. She thought about the things that London had said to her and then there was Daniele and the crazy things he’d said. Not to mention the gentle way he’d kissed the back of her hand with his soft, warm lips.
    Until now she’d always felt sick at the thought of any man putting his lips on her or even touching her for that matter. But for some unexplainable reason Daniele didn’t make her feel that way. It scared her a little the things she felt for him and she wasn’t quite sure how to deal with it.
    Toni was seriously considering talking to her Landry sisters about this whole situation, because she was going out of her mind trying to figure it out on her own. With her decision made she quickly finished her shower and got dressed. She called Indy knowing that was the easiest way to make sure that she was able to talk to all of the Landry sisters because when Indy spoke they all listened whether they wanted to or not.
    About thirty minutes later she was opening the door of the guest house which she now shared with Daniele to Indy, Gigi, Asia and London. The only good thing about sharing a place with Daniele was that they rarely saw each other because of their hectic work schedule.
    As usual Indy had brought the wine, Gigi had brought supplies for their girl’s night facials, of course Asia had brought enough food to feed an army and London had brought plush designer robes for all of them.
    Toni loved having them as her sisters they were strong, tough, beautiful and independent women. They were also the best role models any young woman could ask for she’d grown so much stronger since having them in her life. She didn’t know what she’d do without them they were always there for her when she needed someone to lean on.
    When the nightmares had started again shortly after the confrontation with her stepfather’s brother they’d been there for her taking turns staying up with her because she was too terrified to sleep. Well that was until Indy had finally given her a swift kick in the pants to remind her that she was no longer that scare little girl that she once was.
    She was a Landry woman now and there was no way in hell that they would let anything happen to her. Between them and the Fabrizio’s she had nothing to worry about they were the kind of family everyone wished they had.
    “Damn girl, don’t just stand there close the door and go get some glasses.” Indy said as she took a seat on the couch.
    “Bring some plates and silverware while you’re at it oh and don’t forget the napkins. You know what I’ll just help you it’ll be easier.” Asia said as she followed her to the kitchen.
    “I was wondering if she was just going to sit her little boney butt there and make Toni get everything.” Gigi said as she put her things down.
    “I heard that Shorty.”
